Our Amazing Disney Cruise!!!

So yesterday we returned back from our first Disney Cruise!!!  We sailed aboard the Disney Wonder for 3 nights (not nearly long enough).  We had an amazing time aboard the ship and the girls loved the "Oceaneer's Club" (so did Mommy and Daddy).  Unfortunately Peyton got sick and when we took her to the Medical Center because she had thrown up she had to be quarantined in our room for the last 24 hours of the cruise.  As sucky as this was, Disney went above and beyond to make it fun.  They brought a DVD player and movies for us to watch, Candyland, tons of coloring pages w/ crayons and were at our beck and call if we needed anything.  They even brought Peyton a card wishing her well with a signed picture of Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale Capt. Hook and Mr. Smee all standing on the beach!!!  She also was brought several little get well gifts!!!  It made our last 24 hours very manageable!!!

I am so looking forward to our next Disney Cruise (this time 7 days and with my mom)!!!  I would highly recommend this to everyone!!!

Fun at the Fair!

Jacksonville had their annual fair last week, so we decided to take the girls down and see what was there!!!  We all had a great time and it was a really nice fair!!

Halloween Fun!

Our Other Home!!

We all needed a break this weekend, so we headed to our favorite place to have some fun!!!  We met up with a friend of ours and her son and played at the Magic Kingdom!!!  It was very much the stress reliever we needed!!!

Officially 4

Today Peyton & Daveigh turned 4 years old!!  I can't believe my little 2 lb. babies are 4 years old. The day they were born was the happiest and scariest day of our lives.  We did not know if they would live 4 minutes and here we are 4 years later!!!

I love you my baby girls and can't wait to see what the next year brings!

The Joy of Turning 4!!!

We had the girls 4th Birthday Party today (their actual b'day is Tuesday).  We held it at a local indoor play place!!  Even though there were a couple of snafu's, everyone had an amazing time!!!  Here are some of my favorite shots!!!

Back To Normalcy

I went away this weekend on a "Mommies only" scrapping weekend.  It was wonderful!!!  Someone cooked for us and cleaned for us.  All we had to do was scrap, eat, pee and sleep!!!  It was amazing and calming and uproariously fun (Word to Minerva)!!

But this morning, I was ripped back into my normal daily life with a "Good Morning Mommy, I need OATMEAL!!!", "Can you come wipe me?" and "No, that is my seat, no it is mine!!"

It is funny that I find a sort of comfort in these sometimes annoying, but familiar aspects of my life!!!

Stay tuned for some funny stuff from this weekend!!!

Peyton is enjoying Daddy's iPhone just as much as he is!!

Future Professional Bowlers

On the 4th we took the twinadoes bowling for the first time.  Yes I know, most people would have thought we would have had them bowling since birth (since that is how Jeff and I met), but this was the first time!!!

THEY LOVED IT!!!  Peanut has asked every hour on the hour "Mommy we go bowling again now???"  I think we have created monsters!

And it is good!!!

Little D at the approach...

I'm too cool to watch the pins!

Score at the end of the first game!!!  

The Imaginations of Babes!!

So back in April, my husband and I took a cruise for our anniversary.  Before the cruise, I went and bought some new clothes and some new snazzy bras (this girl needs all the uplift she can get).  Well after I got home from shopping the girls were playing on our bed and they came out looking like this!!!

"Look mommy, we found a new HAT!!!"  They were so honest and sincere!!!  And being the parent of the year that I am I immediately got the camera and took pictures!!!

These 2 girls are constantly cracking me up with the things that come out of their mouths!!!

Why Sleep In A Bed...

when there is so much floor available!!

Little D has always been a wild sleeper.  From the day we brought her home from the hospital she has flailed about in her bed in many directions.  Last year we put the girls in toddler beds and we would find her in many different positions on her bed!  A few months ago we ordere

d big girl beds, but they were on back order so we just had mattresses for them to sleep on.  Little D finally calmed down in moving about in h

er sleep, so we thought she was maturing (right!).  So their bed finally arrive and the girls love them!!  Except why is it that every night without fail we walk into their room to check on them and this is how we find Little D...

Under Her Bed, comforter, sheet, lovies and all!!!

Silly Girl!!
