Celebrating Landon's Birthday at Disney World!!

Today we went to Magic Kingdom for Landon's Birthday. His birthday is really not until Tuesday, but we decided to celebrate a little early. We started out by getting Will and Landon Mickey ears with their names on the back, which actually were a present from Grandmother and Granddaddy. Thanks Grandmother and Granddaddy for the hats. The boys love them!! Next we went and had lunch at the Crystal Palace with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet. The boys had a blast! Mommy and daddy had a great time too just watching the boys faces and taking pictures as you can see below. After lunch we hit a few spots at Magic Kingdom that we haven't done yet and of course we had to ride Buzz Light Year. That ride is a must every time we go. It was a perfect day to celebrate Landon's birthday and what a better place to do it at then the most "Magical" place in the world.

Green Meadows Farm Field Trip

Today Will's class went on a field trip to Green Meadows Farm. Daddy stayed home with Landon so mommy could be a chaperone on the field trip. Mommy and Will had a great day together doing so many fun things! They got to ride a train, go on a hay ride, pet and hold all kinds of animals, milk a cow, and Will got to ride a pony. It was a little strange being at a farm/petting zoo where there are palm trees. Definitely not like the farms in North Carolina, that's for sure.

Nana and Pop Come to Visit

Nana and Pop (Dottie's parents) came to visit for the first time since we moved to Orlando. We had a fun filled week and Nana and Pop did what all grandparents do.... spoil the grand kids. Nana's birthday was on Sunday and Landon, Will's and Pop's are within the next couple weeks, so we celebrated everyones birthday while Nana and Pop were in town. All week, Landon would say "this is so special".

One day we went and had breakfast with Goofy, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck. This was Will's favorite thing he did while Nana and Pop were in town. It really was a lot of fun! Will and Landon's birthdays are coming up within the next couple weeks, so all the characters sang happy birthday to them and gave them a chocolate cupcake.

For Nana's birthday on Sunday, we went to Animal Kingdom, which is her favorite park at Disney World. The boys had a blast showing Nana and Pop everything. Will especially couldn't wait to show Nana the Flamingo's. Dottie and her dad road Expedition Everest, which is a roller coaster. Chad doesn't like roller coasters so he really didn't mind to watch the boys:) Dottie's dad turns 60 next month, so as soon as they got off the ride, she said "happy 60th birthday dad". Not many 60 year olds could probably handle this ride. It was pretty intense from what Dottie said, but Dottie's dad said "it was AWESOME"!

Thanks Nana and Pop for coming to see us in Florida and spoiling us while you were here. Pop, thanks for cleaning the windows. Dottie definitely gets her cleaning honest. Nana, thanks for all the goodies and the helpful cooking tips. We're going to miss you guys and hope to get up to North Carolina soon.

Landon really enjoyed his chocolate cupcake! Once he got the cupcake, he paid no attention to the characters. Landon loves his food, especially sweets.

Will chose to eat fruit instead of his chocolate cupcake. He definitely gets that from him mommy.

Crazy Hair Day

This week at Will's school they have been celebrating Dr. Seuss. Each day they have done a different fun activity that focuses on a Dr. Seuss book. Monday was mixed up day. Will wore his shirt backwards and inside out. Tuesday was top hat day. Will had to wear black pants and a white shirt and at school he made a Dr. Seuss hat and a bow tie to complete his outfit. Wednesday was silly sock day. Today, well I think the picture explains it. It was crazy hair day. Will could not wait for today as he really wanted to wear his hair straight up. He's been wanting to get a spiked hair cut, which is so not happening, so hopefully today will satisfy him for a while. Friday is funny food day. They will be making Green Eggs and Ham.....yummy.

Our Little Conductor

Landon LOVES Thomas the Train. The other night we were at Will's basketball celebration party and they introduced a gentlemen named Thomas to come up to talk. Of course it was quiet and Landon shouted out....Thomas the Train! Landon heard the name Thomas, so he just thought they were talking about Thomas the Train.

Landon loves to wear his Thomas the Train costume he wore for Halloween. Today he decided to just wear the hat. Gotta love that smile. He's such a happy kid!!

Choo...Choo...

Will's First Basket

Saturday was Will's last basketball game for the season. He had such a great time playing and improved so much from the first day.

After an entire season of trying, Will finally got his first basket during the game. We were so proud of him and he was even more excited to get a score. We were even lucky enough to catch it on video. Hope you enjoy the video as much as we do. He starts out not really knowing where to take the ball, but then he gets going and no one is stopping him. He even does a little spin at the end before he shoots the ball and yaaaaaa.... it goes in. Everyone was so excited for Will, especially Mommy, Daddy, and Landon.

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!!

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.

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.
