Walt Disney World!

We had an awesome time in Orlando at Disney World!  We weren't there very long, but we are already looking forward to going back!

Thanks to Aunt Heather we scored a 2 bed/2 bath suite at the Dolphin Hotel!  Here are some photos from the week.

Abby is FOUR!

I can't believe Abby turned FOUR.  Time flies!  She has been so spoiled this year and the parties seem to never end!!  She had a party in her class, then we took her to Disney World on her actual day and had lunch at Cinderella's Castle, then she got a combo party with her BFF, Keira.  This weekend we'll be in Ennis celebrating yet again with family!  I'm *just* about partied out. :)

Beautiful Princess!

Happy 10 Months Crazy Man!

Blake is officially a wiggling, busy, wild monster!  He is on the move and nothing is holding him back. He's very vocal about what he wants and loves to explore!

Happy 10 Months!

Freedom!

Wonder if she taught him this?

Dinner just isn't the same anymore!

We decided to be brave and take both kids to a new restaurant out in Lakeway, TX last night.  We've been before to their location in Westlake, but had wanted to go to this new one because it looks beautiful…and it was.  Great food and great wine!

But going for a nice Saturday evening dinner and drinks just isn't the same with two crazy kids in tow.  Blake just wanted to play table drums all night and Abby just wanted to walk around and sing and dance.  Hopefully everyone around us wasn't to upset. :)

Happy Halloween!

This year's Halloween was a bit more challenging with a 9 month old...who decided 7pm was bed time. :)  But Abby still got to Trick-or-Treat and of course pass out candy on our porch.

I wish I had more photos - but this is all I remembered to get!  Between her party at school, my party at work (with Abby), and the neighborhood pizza block parties (two of them) the night flew by and pictures were an afterthought!

My skeleton!

Abby's Kindergarten class Fall Festival!

Countdown to Disney World!

We are officially on the Disney World countdown now that we are 2 weeks out!  We've been talking about it for so long lately that I think Abby might have given up. :)  So last night I had her make a paper chain that we'll tear off a link to each night as we get closer...this way she knows exactly how much longer (or as she says, "How many more night-night's") we have until we leave!

And technically - we are on the 2 week countdown until she turns 4 too!  *sniff*

Fall Festival

This past weekend our Pediatrician's office celebrated their 10 year anniversary with a Fall Festival at their office.  They had a petting zoo, arm painting, balloon animals, cotton candy, lemonade and lots of pumpkins to play with.  But the highlight was one of the local high school's drum line that came and preformed (one of the drummers just happens to be the son of their doctor).  Both Abby and Blake really liked watching them.  Maybe they will be drummers like their mommy and daddy??

This was the balloon pumpkin Blake got. :)

2nd Haircut

Blake's hair is amazing!!  It's so thick and soft and beautiful...I'm so jealous.  But, that also means it was time for another haircut and this time they used clippers.  You and decide if you think he liked it.... :)

My handsome boy.

First ER Trip!

Well, Abby is almost 4 years old so it was about time.  We made our first trip to the ER this past weekend and I'm thankful it was for something simple and easy to fix.  She took a tumble on our marble floors and banged her chin bad enough that they needed to close it with dermabond (basically skin super glue).    She was a trooper for the most part, just a little scared when the doctor had to actually put the stuff on because I don't think she knew what to expect.  Poor girl!!
