We ROCKED Orlando!!!!

We had the best vacation at Disney this year! Samuel has been preparing for this for a year! He was pumped!! He knew we were going...and he NEVER quit asking WHEN we were going!!! So, in the van we piled and headed to FL. It was exciting because we got to meet our new nephew & cousin we had never met (we missed them at Christmas)!! So, we were excited!! We ALL stayed in a 4 bedroom presidential suite...it was awesome & the kids loved being all together! Bedtimes were late & my kids couldn't have been more exhausted!! We found them in the kids room like this often....all playing the same game & yes Lilee went down that slide....Samuel was too small!! Maybe next time!!

Next up was T-Rex restaurant...I highly recommend it! The kids love it & hey the adults like it too!!!

Magic Kingdom day....we decided that was the park we all wanted to go to...something for everyone....well...it was, hmmmm interesting...the day started out perfect....sunshine...perfect....then after about 4 hours RAIN CAME DOWN!!! I mean there was no where to go...we were stuck in the park with NO SHELTER...we were soaked to say the least!!!! My parents & one of my sisters chose to go home for the day but not us or my older sister!! No sir!!! We stuck it out soaked clothes and all & stayed all night! The only down side is I only got a few pictures & in the pouring rain, I had given my camera to my sister with a plastic bag & when they left...my camera left too.....so only a few pictures....but LOTS of memories!!!

The next day we had breakfast with the Characters at Chef Mickey & I would do it again in a heartbeat...worth every penny!!! We loved it!

Then of course we had to build a dino!!!

Then more swimming....Samuel entered into a splash contest....I'll let his splash speak for itself!!!

Then it was Ms. Lilee's 8th Birthday....this Momma can't believe it...but yep...we now have an 8 year old.....We went out to a Mexican restaurant for her dinner & she was sang to and she got to keep the hat!!! Pretty cool day for her!!!

Then the last day..we headed out to dinner at Benehanna...it was scrumptious!!!

The day we left....sad day for us all!!! See ya real soon Mickey!!!

Lilee's Friend Party

Well it is gonna happen...even if I want time to SLOW DOWN....my little girl is going to be 8!!! We had a My Little P0ny party for her at the bowling alley with a few of her friends!! She had a great time & she now LOVES bowling (her words)!!

It's been awhile!

(Just an FYI...blogger is not letting me fix the order or arrangement of these pictures...sorry....)Hello out there...I feel like it has been forever...sorry about that! The end of school & other activities have kept us busy! We are excited that it is summer!! Yay!!! Lilee is going to be just as busy as ever because she just moved up AGAIN in gymnastics to prep team & she will be practicing twice a week now for two hours each day! Yikes... nothing like summer break right???? Here they are first day of school....last day of school Then we went to Aunt Sarah's for Memorial Day weekend & it was a big time!! Lilee got her ears pierced & Samuel camped out for the first time! We had a ball!!!

Taylor Swift ROCKS!!!

One of Lilee's First Communion presents was tickets to a Taylor Swift concert for just her & Mommy!! We had a BLAST!! Taylor was worth every penny!!! Lilee danced and sang the whole time & she had such a look of amazement on her face that we were actually seeing her in person!! I love that we created that memory together!!! Lilee even got a guitar pick!!! AWESOME TIME!!
