Fun Filled Week With The Parker's

We had such an amazing time with Julie and her family last week. Will and Landon were sad to see them leave last night. Dottie was sad too as she misses being closer to her family so she can see them more often. Dottie had a lot of fun spending quality time with Brian and Sarah. Sarah is such a girlie girl and Dottie LOVED it!!

Sarah got to go to Disney World and have her hair done and then eat dinner with the princesses. Will was so glad to see her when she got home.

Brian went to Gymboree with Landon and had a blast.

Thanks Uncle Tom for the oranges!!

Four really tired kids after a fun filled week.

Thanks for coming to see us Julie, Jeff, Sarah and Brian. We miss you guys already. The house is so quiet and the boys don't know what to do with themselves.

Cocoa Beach With The Parker's

Sunday we took Julie's family to Cocoa Beach for the afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and the kids played for hours in the sand. All four of the kids at one point did end up in the frigid cold water, which at the time they thought was fun, but when they got out they were freezing. After a quick snack and warming up a little, they were all back to playing in the sand.

Landon LOVES playing in the sand.

Disney World With The Parker's

Over the weekend we went to Magic Kingdom at Disney World with Julie's Family. This was Julie's kids first visit, so they were super excited. Our niece, Sarah, is so into princesses, so she was on cloud nine. As you can see from the pictures we had a great day.

Julie's Family

Will and cousin Sarah were inseparable all day. They were so cute as they had to hold hands everywhere they went.

Will has waited 6 months to go into the castle with his cousin Sarah. Every time we have been to Magic Kingdom, Will would not go into the castle. He said that he was waiting to go in it with Sarah. Well the day finally came and here they are in front of the castle. Sarah is in her light up Tinker Bell outfit. Sorry they are so far away in the picture, but we were trying to get the castle in the picture too. If you double click on the picture it will blow it up so you can see Will and Sarah better. Sarah's best friend, Ansley, was at Disney World too. Here is Will escorting the girls into the castle. Don't you love the prince look - Carolina sweatshirt.

The Rides at Disney World

Will had so much fun riding the rides with Sarah at Magic Kingdom. He really surprised us this weekend and rode everything Sarah did.

This is Will's favorite ride at Magic Kingdom - Buzz Lightyear. He couldn't wait to take Sarah on it. We have to ride this ride every time we go.

Daddy and Landon on the Peter Pan ride.

The Magic Carpet Ride - This is the first real ride, that goes up in the air, that Will has ever ridden. Will said he wanted to ride it if he could sit beside Sarah. We really didn't think he would get on, but he did and he had a lot of fun. Mommy and Landon were in the back and Julie sat with Will and Sarah in the front. Jeff and Brian rode on a carpet behind us and daddy stayed on land and took pictures.

The Parker's Come To Visit

Julie (Dottie's sister) and her family came into town yesterday to visit for a week. The boys were so excited to see their cousins and that they are staying at our house for a week. Dottie is super excited that her sister is here. Last night the two of them went out shopping after the kids went to bed and they came back just a giggling. Dottie and both of her sister's (Julie and Myra) are best friends. When those three "Etherton's" get together it's trouble:)
