Florida **Magic Kingdom** Last Day!

Boy, did we get blessed! Some friends of my dad's and Uncle Brad's Marta and Rolando) offered us some FREE tickets to the Magic Kingdom!!! We jumped at the chance!

Here we are!

World's Best Daddy with the World's Sweetest Munchkins!


Our family at the Happiest Place on Earth! ;)


My Dad was so much fun and his grandkids A*D*O*R*E him!

Our first ride was Winnie the Pooh's Honey Pot Adventure!

All six of us jumped in the pot and off we went to the 100 Acre Woods.

What a GREAT ride!!! The boys LOVED it and we could tell already that the MAGIC of Disney was going to be amazing. Also, we picked the chilliest day of our trip to go there, sooo.... there were NO LINES, ever.... on ANY of the rides. It was a magical day....

Next, the classic.... it's a small world!

A great boat ride with TONS to see, plus a great place to enjoy a snack break!

They couldn't get over at HOW MUCH there was to see... Look.... Look....


Next we were OFF TO NEVER LAND.... These rides were amazing and had NO height requirement if there was an adult. Such fun, especially with NO LINES or WAIT.

Disney does an AMAZING job.

After adventure land, we headed up to Mickey Toon Town.

Here are Grant, Myself, and Gavin watching a quick cartoon in Mickey's house before meeting.....

MICKEY MOUSE AND MINNIE MOUSE!!!!

Gavin and Grant were thrilled and kept trying to run up there out of turn, while Gabriel was OVERWHELMED at his good fortune of meeting Mickey Mouse.

This was a shining moment in their Disney Day!

** Time for some more rides and adventure!

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND.......

OK, here we are taking the 3 boys on a "Buzz Lightyear: Galaxy Space Ranger training". We were shooting the guns, getting points to rescue planets from the Evil ZURG! Grant was with me and he liked making our spaceship spin, Gavin rode with Grandpa and loved the wild shooting, and Gabe went with Corey and did a great job of actually hitting targets.

2 thumbs up for Gabriel and his AWESOME space ranger training session. He is ready for the real deal!! Actually, we loved this ride so much that we did it TWICE. A definite favorite!!!

Here are Grant, Gabriel and Gavin posing with the Evil ZURG, that was locked up due to their GREAT shooting and saving the universe business!

Wait, THE REAL BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!!!!!!! OUR HERO!!

Our sweet Gabriel with BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!

*Hugs for Buzz*

This was definitely a special moment for Gabe, so we let him go by himself!

Now the 2 little monkeys' turn! CHEESE!!!

Gavin double checking to make sure that his eyes didn't deceive him, YES, it really is Buzz Lightyear!

The day is done, and the two little guys are just about ready to pass out. What a day. We loved every second of it and were so blessed by Marta and Rolando's generosity.

Gavin and Grant's 2nd Birthday!

Hi Everybody!!! We are TWO~ actually on 12-31 New Year's Eve, but our mom celebrates it for us on our due date!! So here are some pictures of our birthday fun!

Gavin and Grant doing a practice run openning their gifts from Uncle Casey and Aunt Sarah the day before the party!

Ready..... Set...... Go!!!!!!!
I think that they know what they are doing!

It must have been close enough to Christmas to remember how to rip things open.

What did you get?? Shirts....

See Mama... :)

Grant with his bad attitude, promptly sent straight to time-out! *Cured from that time on! :)

Mr. Gavin loving the wildness of ripping open presents! Notice the wild bed-head-- not unusual for him to have CRAZY hair. A great way to tell them apart if I haven't spiked their hair!

********* PARTY TIME! **********

Here we begin openning Gavin and Grant's gifts after some yummy snacks!

* Thanks Aunt Min-Min and Uncle Kev for the Race Car set!*

We each got some art supplies from our Ma'z and Papa John~~ We love them and use them DAILY!!!

A quick break to give hugs and say Thank You!

A big stack of PLAY-DOUGH from Aunt Shannon, Uncle Cody and Auntie Ashley! Homemade play-dough is the best and lasts FOREVER! Thanks for the GOOD stuff.

Puzzles and Golf, Legos and Toys. We were in HOG HEAVEN!! :)

Daddy got Gavin and me (Grant) Cookie Monster and Elmo dolls that laugh. Daddy spoils us!

Cupcake time!!!

Here is the other design! These were my masterpieces!

Here we are, ready for singing and candles. We both got a turn having Happy Birthday sung to us, and blowing out our own candles! Then we ATE UP!!! YUMMY!!!!

MORE! MORE! ~~~~ no honey, just one!

MORE PLEASE?! ~~~ Good manners, but still NO!

Here are my Elmo cupcake creations!

Here is the Cookie Monster Masterpiece!

I made 24 cupcakes of each design, 48 total AND THEY WERE AS DELICIOUS AS THEY WERE CUTE! Not a single one was left over! YUM-O!!! ;)

OK, well the party is over but I just HAD to show off the shirts that my boys received from my good friend Laurel. *Monkey See, Monkey Do* I LOVED them, so did the boys!!

"OUCH MAMA!"

We were having a lazy at home day, so I thought that these comfy longalls would be perfect for them to wear and lounge around in. Gabe and I were in warm-ups. We were all busy packing ( them unpacking what I had just folded and packed) for Florida so it seemed perfect.

Now, I had noticed that Grant had just grown again. Grant was born slightly bigger, and always gets his growth spurt first, so yes- right now Grant is slightly taller. Well.....

Grant leaned down to pick up a toy after being dressed and promptly stood up and yelled;"Ouch Mama" grabbing his privates. I didn't get it yet, so I hugged him and we went on playing. Then Grant reached up to climb up the bunk bed. His longall stretched tight and he yelled,"Ouch Mama." Poor thing. He was too tall for the longall and it was hurting him. He started trying to undress. I asked him if he wanted it off. YES, YES!!!!! was my answer.

So I took their picture and off Grant's longall came, into sweats. He was then free to move about as he pleased.
