Breakfast with GG and Grandpa Del

We decided to meet Great Grandpa Del and Great Grandma Joyce for breakfast the following morning, or should we say Great Grandpa Del and GG.

Playing like Monkeys

After our trip to Disney, we had an equally fun day with Derek's side of the family! We visited with Great Grandma Joyce, Great Grandpa Del, Uncle Jack, Aunt Kim, and Conrad. We spent the afternoon talking and laughing. Somehow Aunt Kim, and Conrad got away with no pictures from this visit... but stay tuned for pictures from their recent wedding!

And jumping like monkey's with Uncle Jack!

It was so great to see all of you, we had such a great day and I hope we can do it again soon!!

Magical Moment

I never really understood what the magical Disney experience was until the girls met Mickey Mouse for the first time. After a long day at the park we were doing some shopping. Just by chance we walked past the house where we could meet Mickey and it was only 15 minutes! (most of the characters were over an hour) Once it was our turn to head in, we realized that it was a private room. Just Mickey, us, and a photographer.

The minute the girls spotted Mickey, they ran to him and jumped in his arms.

 Amelia jumped first!

Emma too!

Our hearts melted. Excitement was just beaming from them. They couldn't take their eyes off him except for a moment to turn back and tell us that "Mick" was there. They couldn't believe their eyes. He gave them lots of hugs and kisses and they loved every second.

The bag.

Next Amelia remembered she was holding her bag. She took this as a perfect opportunity to show him what was in it. As she rummaged through, she pulled out her brand new Mickey and Minnie dolls from Uncle John and MoMo. When Mickey saw Minnie he fell in love! Gave her kisses and the girls absolutely loved it!

My heart was so happy. The magic in their eyes is something I will never forget, and I hope that it stays around forever!

An afternoon parade

As we were walking around the park, we managed to find a parade! 

It was kinda a mishmash of characters, but we loved waving at everyone.

The mad hatter. I'm pretty sure he wave directly at us.

The next float had a few other randoms... 

OH MY GOD. WOODY and JESSIE!!!!

I'm not sure who was more excited... us or the adults with us. 

There was A LOT of "Oh my god, I can't believe it's HIM," 

lots of jumping around, arms flailing, and screaming. Those crazy adults!

But seriously, we were completely star struck. 

Can't believe we saw Woody with our own four eyes!

Giddy up!

We can never pass up a carousel ride!

Lunch

Why yes...yes she is drinking ketchup.

Up, up, and away!

Next up: Flying with UJ, Momo, and Dumbo!

 Shall we choose this elephant?

 Flying no handed.

Two little elephants.

Dumbo hugs!

The Happiest Place on Earth

On our trip to Florida we decided to visit Mickey, our first stop was Cinderella's Castle.

Hello again :)

I don't know when it happened, my little tiny babies are teenagers. Well not really, they are almost three, but you know what I mean. I can't believe how much they have grown. They have minds of their own and the sass that comes with it. I hope you enjoy catching up on the last few months, sorry for the delay!! 

We're so Lucky....

To have such an amazing, smart, patient, creative momma, who loves us oh so much!!  Happy Mother's Day to her and all the other amazing Mommy's out there!
