Disney World Day 1

 
We had been planning this trip for several weeks.  Michael and I ( more me than Michael) was so excited I could hardly sleep!  I could not wait to tell them and it was really hard to keep it a secret until the day we left.  Our flights left early in the morning so we had to wake them up.  They were so s sleepy.  We gave them a couple of minutes to wake up and then told them what was happening. 
 
Sleepy Kids.  What are you doing to us?
Right as we told them the big news!

Goody baskets!


All dressed and ready to head to the airport.

The first "ride" at Disney World.  The bus driver was funny!

Checking out the hotel.  I love this place.  Everything is so magical!


First stop, Magic Kingdom.

No time to take a picture mom, too much to do!

Dumbo Ride

The castle at night is BEAUTIFUL!

8 hours of traveling followed by an evening at Magic Kingdom made for some very tired kids.  He slept through the fireworks and we had to carry them both back to the hotel.  Needless to say we all slept great that night!

T-ball

Grayson wrapped up his t-ball season the past weekend.  He did so good and we were very proud of him.  It was so funny to watch the games with a group of easily distracted 3 and 4 year olds.  We tried to take individual and team pictures but it was one tough job!  These are some of my favorites:
 






First Tooth Fairy Visit

Liv's front two teeth started getting loose a few months ago.  A few weeks later I noticed that the adult teeth were coming in behind them.  We went to the dentist for a check up and they said if they didn't fall out in a couple of weeks that they would need to pull them.  We didn't have any luck.  So, $450 later she lost her first 2 teeth!  She recovered quickly and was back to normal that afternoon.




She woke up and got dressed for school and forgot to check under her pillow.  I reminded her and she was thrilled to find her loot! 

End of the year fun!

Gray had his end of the year program.  He did really good and sang all of the songs!  He LOVES this hat and looks so cute in it. 

Liv had an awards ceremony.  All the kindergardners got a reading award and she was so proud to hear her name called. 





We had popsicles with parents and she LOVED having Mommy and Daddy there. 

I've started a new tradition with them and we are going to get treats every year on the last day of school.  Gray's good friend Cal celebrated with us on their last day of preschool for the year.  Thank goodness I have 2 more years until Gray starts kindergarden! 




And today we went for snow cones after school. 

We have a first grader!  Her report card was perfect.  We are so proud. 

Gray

We have big news!!! After almost a year of potty training, Gray is finally pooping in the potty.  I know I will never forget how hard it was so I won't go into any details but our sweet, smart, crazy, fearless, super-hero-costume-wearing, bug catching, t-ball playing little boy has finally done it.  We are all so happy!











I'm just not sure how we ever made it without this guy!
