DISNEY WORLD

Well, here we are the first day at WDW Swan...let the adventure begin !!

Of course we had to do the pool...here's Breanna and Tristen after a couple trips down the slide.
Jenneth with her buckets for the pool.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that about 5 minutes after getting to the pool, it was cleared due to lightning. Try telling that to a 2 year old.
This one was great. When we got off the ride Jenneth says to us. "Wow that went so fast, it made my sticker fall off." She is too funny.

This ride, Haunted Mansion Jenneth didn't like so much. She turned to me and said..."I do not like this ride !!!"

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Stitch
Buzz Lightyear
Chip and Dale....or as Jenneth called them "The Chipmunks." Jenneth and I got to see them while the other three rode Space Mountain. Granted I did go on Space Mountain after my 6 year old son started teasing me that if he can do it, I should be able to do it.
Mrs thing and her snacks.

What you don't see before this picture is Cinderella holding BoBo and Jenneth leaning to get her back. It was really too funny !!!!
Belle, Jenneth.........and BoBo
Tristen and Jasmine. He was a little more excited as Jasmine gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
These couple of pictures are from dinner at Chef Mickey's. This was the end to our 14 hour day 1 at Magic Kingdom. The kids were awesome !!!!

Well as you all know with the Month of May in Indy comes all kind of race activity. Tristen had the Kindy 500 at school. He had to make a car out of a box and then race it around the football field. Here is Brian doing some repairs after a couple laps. School is almost out...only a week left. We are Disney bound shortly and Tristen and I even did a 5K at his school to get in shape. We won't mention that Brian and Jenneth decided to play golf instead !

Here is a full shot of the car. It really did come out quite well and we were all proud.

I just had to add this picture as we now travel with an entourage of friends wherever we go. And the amazing thing is that she will sit there with all of them the whole time. Tristen gets so annoyed !!

Boys will be boys !!! Palmer came over to play one night and we got the Exersaucer out and of course Tristen had to show him how to use it and what it does. Thank God for older cousins.

And here is our newest golfer of the family. 2 years old is not too young to start them on the course as far as Brian is concerned. She thinks this is just the coolest. Everytime they come home from the course she tells me all about the golf cart, her own drink, and M&M's. You know what?????? I never hear how the golf is. Brian says that this is their thing and if it is a bag of M&M's, Lemonade, and a golf cart ride that keeps her happy while he plays...then leave them alone.

I have to say though...she does have a good swing.

This had to be one of the best nights that we had this Spring. Our friend Connie took us to Elmo Live and I have to say that I think that the Mom's had more fun than the kids did. Is it a bad thing when other parents were looking at us Mom's as we were dancing to the music and the kids were just chillin out???? You could feel their eyes rolling to the back of their heads. Thanks Connie...we had a great time !!!!!

Oh yes, the kids did go too. Poor Landen...one of his girls on each side of him. And are they the coolest looking two year olds are they not????

I think this picture just says it all.....and she's only 2 !!!!

The kids and I took out first bike ride to Morse Park of the Spring. Jenneth went down this slide more times than I care to count, and each time it was "Mommy watch !!"
Tristen on the other hand could have cared less about this slide and was so good and humored his little sister. He would figure out how to go down differently each time. (See Jenneth running in the back to get go again)

And of course the swings...The girl LOVES to swing. She is going to learn very early to pump her legs so she can do it herself !! By the way Aunt Janie...We love our "cowboy" shirt.

Molly and Palmer got a new awesome swing set that we had to go and try out. That's Molly back of her head that you see. She just wouldn't turn around for the picture.

Do you see the smile on Tristen's face??? He still had that same smile when he got home at midnight. Brian and Tristen had a guys night out at the Pacers Game and then went to one of the Pub's downtown after the game...Tristen just thought it was the coolest.
Just a fun picture...

Tristen got to meet one of the Pacers Cheerleaders...needless to say it was the highlight of the night for him.

So for Spring Break we decided to do just a quick getaway to Abe Martin Lodge in Brown County State Park. For those of you who are local and younger kids, this is a great place. We had a great time and the kids loved it. Jenneth was so good that she went down this slide with me twice. I wish I could have seen her face coming down...as Brian said it was priceless.

Just a chillin in the zero entry part of the pool....

This was a miniature lazy river that you used noodles on and just floated in a circle.
Jenneth never took her arms off of Brian...just incase.
The kids and I have been riding our bikes a bit this Spring and Jenneth has informed me that she can put her helmet on herself....Not so sure it is as effective when it is backwards.

Happy Easter !!!!! Jenneth never took her eyes off of the Bunny. This is a huge improvement from last year as she just screamed last time she saw the Easter Bunny.

Brunch with Nana and Grampa at The Garrison.

Here is one of the pictures from our outdoor photo shoot with the kids. I can never get a good picture of all of use as one of the kids doesn't look. Brian was working...Bummer.

Easter Morning. C A N D Y !!!!! This was after the kids found the hidden eggs and were going through them. It was so cute as Jenneth realized she wasn't going to get in trouble for eating candy for breakfast. I think next to Halloween, this might be her favorite Holiday.

The kids dyed Easter Eggs and here is the before picture...

Here is the during picture. I wish I would have taken an after picture...but let's just say we are glad that Daddy was at work because who knew how far a spilled glass of dye could go???? Let's just say that next year I will wax paper the entire table, the chairs, etc...Hey if you don't have fun than what's the point right?
