Did you know.....

If you purchase a balloon at Disney World and it pops during the rest of your visit you can give the vendor your balloon ribbon and they will let you pick a new balloon.   True story.

Here Comes the Bride.....

While on our recent Girls Only Disney trip Courtney posed outside the Wedding Pavilion. She immediately started planning her upcoming (hopefully at least 20 years from now) nuptials.  We emailed this picture to her Dad and he immediately responded with a phone call and some choice words for Courtney that had her giggling.  We sure know how to get him fired up!

Hayley Turns 6

Welcome to Hayley's Candy Shop & Bakery!  This was such a fun theme and Hayley helped with all the details & decorating. She is quite the party planner. She is an amazing young lady & I am lucky that I still get to spend a few days a week with her. Next year she will be in school full time & I will miss having her home with me

Halloween Costumes

Hayley was dressed as Lela from Teen Beach Movie  We tried to duplicate the costume as best as we could, but no way was she wearing those short shorts!

Courtney was an easy costume.  She made a great Hermione. 

The weather for trick or treat night was the worst it has ever been.  The girls were soaked by the time they came home, but its all in the name of candy, so they suffered through the cold and rain.  Yes, I know it is January 2014, but I am playing catch up with some of the cute pictures I have taken on my phone

So Sweet

I found this note in Courtney's room.  She loves to journal and doodle on paper, notebooks, furniture and yes, even her bed sheets.  She often writes notes to people or draws a picture with the intention of mailing it, but she usually forgets and has a large collection of loose papers and sealed envelopes.  I have been collecting them as I find them and they are such fun finds!

End of Summer

The pool is officially closed for the year.  Hayley learned to swim this year, jump off the diving board and go down the slide by herself.  Carter worked on perfecting his under water handstand.  Courtney call hold her breath and swim the entire width of the pool.  Another great Summer in the bag!

Back to School

It is hard to believe, but all three of my kiddos are in school (almost) full time.  As you can see Hayley was extremely excited to get on the bus and even more excited to get off the bus.
