Spring Break at Disney World

This seemed to be the perfect year to take the kids Disney for their first experience with life size characters, princesses, and more. We had a wonderful time, the whole family! The girls especially enjoyed their visit to the Bippity, Boppity, Botique for hair and make up and lunch with the princesses. Ramona got her first taste of roller coasters and hasn't warmed up to them yet, but we think she might come around. Here are some of the highlight photos of the trip, these are also posted on Facebook. Enjoy, as we certainly did!

Ready to head to sunny Florida!

Catching Up with the Blog Again

When it comes to things like regularly blogging, our request is 'be patient with us.' We spend so much time on the computer daily that it takes a little bit of the fun out of the family blog. But don't get us wrong, we're still having lots of fun! Here are some photos of our last couple months. Yes, you will see some Christmas photos if you scroll back far enough, as we realized none of that magical time was blogged yet. Thank you for being okay with our quarterly blog updates. We've got a good case of spring fever over here and wish everyone who visits this blog the best! 

Commence the photo montage of our life....

(I'm going to try to put them in groupings and back date them, not sure if that works, but we'll see)
