Disney World, 2007

Throwback to May of 2007; kids first time at Disney World!

The Princess was not excited about a meet and greet with Tigger.

However, she was thrilled about meeting Pluto!!

Minnie’s house!!

 Dumbo has always been my favorite ride at Disney World.

One of the Superhero’s favorite stops was the Buzz Lightyear ride.



 

It really is a magical place, isn’t it?

Picture Perfect

Between her and her amazing Aunt Tanya they captured SO many awesome photos of the kids.

This one is a favorite.

Happy Wednesday.

Back home....

 My mother and I ventured out on a little road trip with the three kiddos last Saturday.

After being gone for almost a week, we arrived back home Friday evening....with three sick kids!

I am so exhausted!

Hope everyone had a great weekend celebrating the July 4th holiday.

 I can't wait to check out your blogs to see what each of you have been up to.

Cheers to a fabulous week!!!

The Pirate Cruise

During our recent trip to Panama, we set sail on the Pirate Cruise!

The Superhero and Princess LOVED it.

The Monkey was unsure of it.

My husband was convinced he was being tortured for something he had done.

My lil' Monkey would not go anywhere near the "crazy pirate guy"!  After the water gun fight, the boys had to clean the ship....That smile.

Be still my heart.

I really, really love this handsome little guy!  Face painting time!!Watch out boys, she can hold her own with the sword!! 

Pay attention to the following three photos.

Do you notice the similarity in three kids?All three have their tongues sticking out!

This was Monkey’s favorite spot on the ship, looking over the edge at the water.

Colossians 3:23

Today the family and I ventured out to the Superhero's school for an awards ceremony.

During this annual program, the students are presented with awards and certificates for their accomplishments throughout the school year.

This was a very special ceremony, as the Superhero was being honored with the "Colossians Award".
He had no idea that his teacher had nominated him or that he was being presented with this award.

My husband, grandfather, Princess and Monkey were all there.
We were all anxiously waiting for the Superhero's name to be called.


We waited and waited and waited

 Of course, anxiously waiting turned into restlessness for the little two


The Princess and Monkey started off doing really well.
They were excited to be there and show support for their brother.
They loved when they were able to clap with the audience, especially my Monkey.

BUT, that didn't last long, a whole 10 minuets and then they were bored! 

The Princess was “hirsty” and really, really needed a drink.

She needed a drink so desperately that she could no longer remain quiet.

 

Of course, Mr. Monkey couldn't remain quiet any longer either.

Sitting still seemed to be very challenging for him

He was here, he was there … He wanted up, he wanted down …

It was like I was living out a Dr. Seuss book!

At one point, he tried to rush toward the stage to go see his big brother.

Eventually, he had to be escorted out of the auditorium.  

Finally, after putting the fear of God into them,

they settled down and patiently watched the rest of the program.

The Superhero was presented with a total of three awards/certificates.

(He is the one in the orange stripped shirt.)

He was presented with a metal for being a member of the wrestling team,

a certificate for attaining highest honors, a GPA of 3.75-4.0,

and the Colossians 3:23 award.

We are so incredibly proud of this little guy.

He is such an amazing soul and I am so honored to call him my son.

 

His daddy took him out this evening for a special surprise… The video game for his Nintendo DS he has been wanting for a very, very long time.

I think it was well deserved!!

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

Monkey is taking a nap and the Superhero and Princess are outside helping their Daddy.

Which means Momma got some time for her blog.
