Our Disney vacation






We finally went back to Disney World this summer. We went in 2004 when Brik was 6 and had a great time. I have been waiting since then to choose the perfect time to go back. We had Jaxon in 2005 so we had to wait a while. I know lots of people take really little ones to Disney World and still have a great time but we decided to wait. I'm glad we did. We had a wonderful trip and Jaxon was able to ride almost everything. He even rode Tower of Terror! When his little tush came off the seat as we dropped he decided that he did not want to ride that again. I wish we had the picture from the ride because both Charlie and I threw our arms across him when we dropped and we were both covering his face for the picture. I don't need the picture to remember the face he was making but I wish I had it to share. Brik of course rode everything. Oh, I take that back he flat refused to ride Dumbo. LOL. We went during Star Wars weekends and that was really fun. Brik, Charlie and Jaxon built their own lightsabers on the first day (you can do this at Once Upon a Toy at Downtown Disney) just in case we encountered any sith lords which of course we did! We stayed for 9 days this time and it was so nice to have that much time. We spent one whole day at the resort and I will always include a resort day in all of our future trips. We needed that day to really chill out! We threw some laundry in and spend several hours at the pool. The boys argued quite a bit when they got tired (which was expected)but other than those minor battles we really had a great time as a family. Oh I also celebrated my 40th birthday while we were there. If I could spend all of my birthdays at Disney World it would make getting older a lot more fun :). I want to thank my wonderful husband and my great boys for such a wonderful trip. I hope we have many more to come. I also have to thank my Mom, Dad, Dana & Jacque for taking the time & money to come with us for a few days and be there for my birthday. I would have loved for them to stay the whole time but I was very grateful for the few days we had with them. My birthday lunch was great. We ate at Le Chefs De France, I was at the happiest place on earth with lots of my loving family with me. It is a birthday I will always remember. Oh and Mom I really am sorry about soarin! I thought you would love it! We live and learn. and yes you did live through it. I wasnt sure if I was gonna live after we finally got you back on the ground but we both made it back to Texas safe and sound. Thats what counts right? I will post some pictures from the trip below.

pictures from 2010 - Disney on ice





pictures from 2010





May 2010 already?





I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. Brik is about to finish the 6th grade and Jaxon is 4 years old. I have two nieces in college and three in high school. Where does the time go? We have had a lot of fun so far in 2010. Here are some of the highlights: We had more snow this year than ever before in my lifetime! (Santa had to leave a trampoline in our backyard this year and it was covered by snow when the boys found it) My boys had a camp out in the trampoline. I have been incessantly planning our upcomming Disney World vacation. Brik played basketball and Jaxon played soccer from Jan to March. We are taking a much needed break from sports during the summer. Charlie and I still have some duties as board members for our peewee football organization, ABD, even when football is not going on. I know Charlie is already anxious for the season start. Jaxon will be playing flag football for the first time so it should be very exciting. Brik will be playing football for his Jr. High this season so he has officailly graduated from peewee. I have been reading a lot which I love and working out some too, which I like.

Jaxon's First Birthday


















Jaxon had a great time at his party! Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us. He was on such a sugar high after the cake, ice cream & tea! He took a 15 min. nap after everyone left and then was up until 10:00 pm. I think he had a great time, I know I did. It is Wednesday and he is finally back on his regular routine. We had pictures done with both Jaxon and Brik on Friday, I will post those soon. We only have two regular season games left in football, the on to the playoffs. Brik is doing really well despite the injury causing tactics of the last team we played. He had a sore ankle for the last half of the game. He is much better now and ready to go for this Saturday. We play at Blue Raider again. Our game is at 10:00 am this week, apparently someone thought we were the flag team or something, I'm not sure how we ended up with such an early game. Anyone who wants to come please feel free, and bring some breakfast!
Love to all.
Kim
