Disney World!!

There are 97 pictures in this post...the pictures say it all.  We had an "epic" trip to Disney World with the kids.  We dragged Jason along, who I think had a great time as well.  It was so much fun, the kids were great, they loved it (except for Epcot!).  We did Magic Kingdom two days, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot (for 1/2 a day), and even got to see John and Claudia!!  A very fun trip, I'm glad we took it when we did.  One and done, check it off the list.  We will probably go back and do Universal in a few years, but we did absolutely love the Disney experience we had this time!  We surprised the kids, and didn't tell them until the morning we were leaving, here is the video:


Gwyn with her mouse ears on, on the plane ride there:




Brian played the part of a solider during the story of Belle, ha!






Brian and I both think we have pictures when we were kids in these same shackles:




My beautiful princesses, so much fun!


Jacob and Brian on space mountain:





Princesses galore!












I love this picture:



My dragon slayer:






Day 2 on the hair, Gwyn's didn't move an inch, a true testament to her sleeping so still:
Annie, my little firecracker, her hair did move a bit (not much), but is also a testament to her sleeping like a helicopter...you always draw the short straw if you have to sleep with her!




Animal Kingdom was Gwyn's favorite:










We did a boat ride, fireworks on the lake in front of Magic Kingdom - mine, Brian's and Jason's favorite moment of the trip!

Off to Hollywood Studios...Jacob's favorite place:












Playing at the beach of the lake by the hotel:



A morning character breakfast before hitting Epcot (and then back to Magic Kingdom):





Love this picture:
Epcot, at least we can say that we've been here and we have our ball picture, ha!

Pumpkins!

 I always like taking the kids to get pumpkins, and making them get pictures together (Jacob just LOVES this, ha!).  It makes it feel like Fall even though we are still sweating down here in Houston!  We picked out some good ones this year, and Jacob is going to carve one with Brian as well.  I'll be decorating one next week for the school Fall Festival.  We are entering a very busy October with lots of fun things on the calendar.   Love this sweet little toothless girl!

 Jacob got a haircut the very next day, I'm realizing pictures may have been a little better after the haircut, but he still looks handsome!
 Jacob and his buddy having fun!
 My sweet Gwyn:
 Gwyn with her little friend:
 At this point, Jacob is saying come on, I see a really good one over there!
Funny things the kids said this week:
Jacob:  I wish I had an older brother, that way I wouldn't have to be the most responsible and set the example for everyone.  AND, I bet if we were wrestling with each other, he wouldn't cry and whine.
Me:  There are really good things about having 2 little sisters, you are blessed!
Jacob:  I guess so, I can't think of any good things right now, but I can tell you they are really annoying!
Jacob to Annie:  You just got ejected from earth.
Annie:  No, I'm not, I'm still here!
