Disney World-Day 2

Hello friends!
We have been at Hawaiian Falls(our local water park) and are really tired, but had a lot fun!

Now, where was I...oh yes, Day 2 we were at Magic Kingdom.When we started riding rides, we weren't sure how Anderson would do in those long lines. But, he did really good. We kept telling him that we had to wait in line(a great lesson for him) and we had to be patient(a great lesson for me too;)
We rode Space Mountain(not Anderson) but Disney has an awesome feature called "baby swap", where your child waits in line with you and you ride and your husband holds the child and then when you get back you switch. It's pretty cool!
We did the fun tea cups!And Adam and Anderson rode Dumbo! Except somebody didn't like Dumbo as much as we though he would. He was fine, until they put the seat belt on him...then he went ballistic! ha!Then we went on the rides of all rides. Anderson's favorite ride EVER...Small World. We rode it two more times and the last time we rode it he got SO SCARED and covered his ears and closed his eyes. When we got off the ride he kept saying "goat feathers" and this was the culprit that scared him so bad! Sorry it's sideways and I can't turn it around. This little green and yellow goat. Every time we would mention it, Anderson would get real still and close his eyes and cover his ears and say "Momma, hold you".

I've decided that every time we go back to Disney World that I want to get Anderson's picture taken by this Indian in Frontier Land( I was trying to hide, oh well). We stayed late and watched part of the Electrical Light Parade. It was really fun, but Anderson was tired and so were weso we headed back to our hotel in the mass hysteria of all the people trying to get out of the park. But looking at this made it just bearable!

Disney-Day 1andPart of Day 2

Hello friends! I had been waiting for this vacation for so LONG and it finally had gotten here!!Let me start off by saying that we went to Alabama first and then went to Orlando for the week.
We stayed with my mom.We swam and swam some more. Then we went to see my Daddy and rode the golf cart, Anderson's favorite!She made banana pudding and decorated it just for the occasion!Guess who wanted some...Emma, her golden retriever ;)

We drove down on Monday morning and checked in to our hotel. We stayed hereand LOVED it! They even had these towels all ready for us. Seriously...how cool is that?!We didn't do any parks on Monday, because we didn't get there until 3p.m. so we headed to Downtown Disney to look around and shop.We thought we were in trouble because Anderson was in FINE FORM and was running around like a mad man! But he was really perfect during the whole trip(minus a few hits to us here and there;) He would even tell us "be patient" when waiting in line.

Tuesday morning, we woke up early because it was our first day here and we had breakfast planned.

This is my FAVORITE park! Anderson was less than thrilled to ride on the monorail, because he was ready to, in his words "go in" Magic Kingdom and couldn't believe we had to take a monorail there. So he threw a nice fit on the monorail and 2 time outs later, he was better.
We went to eat at the Crystal Palace with Winne the Pooh and friends inside Magic Kingdom. That was the BEST breakfast and the characters really took time and were good about stopping and seeing us and great about taking pictures! Anderson REALLY enjoyed this!!

I'm gonna stop here, because Anderson needs a nap and I'm getting tired of uploading pictures, be back tomorrow!!

We're BACK!

Hello friends! We are finally back from our 2 week long vacation to Disney and Alabama and are SOOOOO glad to be home. We are tired and recovering from our 13 hour trip yesterday.
Disney was wonderful!And we LOVED every minute of it!!Be back tomorrow with lots o' pictures!!!

5 days...

Hello friends!

Are you getting tired of my Disney World posts?! ;) I'm sorry...I'm just too excited about going and Anderson seeing it for the first time! In fact, I told Adam that I would probably cry when I saw his face when he saw Cinderella's Castle and hopefully how excited he will be! Oh the shear joy of all of it!
We've are continuing to get ready and in order. The dogs are all washed up...much to their dislike.Anderson has some new books (that we got at Goodwill for CHEAP) for the trip and I'm not showing him all of them. I'm gonna keep them until we are waiting in line and he's getting really restless!We also have been practicing for the breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and Friends at the Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom...see it here.Anderson will LOVE that and so will we!

We are staying here. I LOVE staying on Disney property, because you can go to the parks an hour early and get to ride some things that would normally be so crowded. And the transportation is so easy and you don't have to do anything.

It's been a while since Adam and I have been to Disney World...in fact was 2004 and we looked like this. (This is my MIL Tami, me, Adam, My SIL Kelly and BIL Anthony.)

Saturday

Hello friends!

We had a really busy weekend! We had Becca's baptism(our neighbors across the street). That's Becca, in her beautiful white dress. All of the children were really dressed up in white outfits. Those are her Godparents holding her and her parents in front of her. She is 2 and beautiful! They are a very sweet family. They are Mexican and are Catholic. ( I loved this statue of Jesus...a good reminder for all that was done so that can be forgiven of our sins) I know NOTHING about Catholicism and it was very interesting and sweet experience. I felt very honored to have been invited to share in such an important experience in her life!
First of all, the WHOLE baptism was in Spanish and we understood maybe 3 to 4 words...thank you high school Spanish! But it was a very different experience for me...cause I was raised Baptist.

At the baptism, Anderson was in rare form. :) He first was trying to run around. Adam took him outside. Then, he cried to come back in. Then he started signing The New Kids on the Block " Oh Oh Oh OH Oh...The Right Stuff" LOUDLY! I couldn't help but laugh! ;) Then he said "Becca's church...Hola" cause they are Mexican. Embarrassing...

Saturday night, they had a huge baptism party for Becca at a Mexican Restaurant and it was very good and authentic. The kiddos had a great time running around like wild Indians!I'm sure a lot of you know that we are going to Disney World 1 week from today! So excited! My friend Hillary Dunham has a business called Mint Julep Monograms and made Anderson this beautiful outfit for our first day there. You can look at her stuff here! Tell her I sent you! :)
