Part two – Disney May 2010

May 21, 2010

FINALLY! The rest of the writeup from our trip to Florida in May!
One of the good things about waiting three months to write about a vacation is that I’ve forgotten stuff so I now I don’t have to write so much!
Anywho…
Monday morning was breakfast with the princesses at Epcot. Mallory was giddy as the princesses started coming through the room but was beyond shy when they came to our table. Carson wasn’t shy – he kept shoving food in his mouth the whole time. It was awesome though – because all of the princesses spoke just as you would think …

Flordida – 2010, Part I { the real recap }

May 20, 2010

Better late than never, eh?
So – we went to Orlando in May 2010 so Rick could do a triathlon. Seems that most of our vacation are “working” vacations, we never go anywhere just for the heck of it. My dad & Shaners came with us, and Rick’s entire family met up with us down there. Here weego.
Friday – travel day to Flordida. Mallory was concerned that the captain of the airplane wouldn’t know where we were going and told me she’d tell him. She was obsessed with finding our gate (love that she knows her numbers so I could tell …

Speechless

January 28, 2010

Mallory’s cousin came to play this past weekend. 
The girls get a little out of control when they get together.

Lauren is the dress-up QUEEN and probably the biggest reason why Mallory loves her dresses so much (remember it was Lauren who taught Mallory how to hold up her dress when going peepee on the potty).

Well, when two girly-girls get together and have a trunk full of Disney Princess dress-up props, this is what happens. You can see Lauren’s Cinderella necklace, and Snow White bow and some other princess’ yellow sequined crown.

And then there was Carson.

Cookie-mania 2009

December 5, 2009

I posted last year about my childhood memory of decorating Christmas cookies at my aunt’s house before Christmas. And I’m so happy that my sister likes to host this event so that Mallory can have the same memory.
We decorated like 400 dozen cookies today. That might be a *slight* exageration, but it did feel like a ton of cookies. And I even made excuses to NOT sit and decorate a ton of cookies (have to feed the baby, oops, now I have to change the baby, oh and Emily – do you have any clothes for Carson since he …

I’m feeling hot-hot-hot

April 24, 2009

It was HOT today. I must be getting old because I couldn’t stand to be out in the heat and sun for more than a few minutes.
Emily brought her kids out today to visit – she wanted her dog to go swimming. Well, her dog had NO interest in swimming (talk about a defective Labrador) but all the kids got wet. I thought I was so cool getting a picture of all of the cousins and then I remembered that one of my kids wasn’t in the picture. Oops.

My kid is CRAZY – this water was …
