Walt Disney World

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Walt Disney World. We went with Clint's parents and his sister and her family. Everyone had a fantastic time there. We stayed at the Yacht Club. It is one of Disney's resorts and it was fabulous. The rooms were big, the food was good, the atmosphere better, and the pool was a blast. We did so many incredible things I don't even know where to begin writing about it. We were able to visit Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney, and Typhoon Lagoon. Jace turned into a little dare devil why we were there. He rode everything he was tall enough to ride (except for the tower of terror which he wanted to but we wouldn't let him). Clint and I were so amazed by him. Hayden didn't get to ride near as much, but I am pretty sure he didn't really care. We did two character meals on the trip, one a Cinderella's castle with the princesses and one at Hollywood and Vine with some PlayHouse Disney characters. Jace is normally terrified of characters. At chucky cheese he runs screaming and hides under tables to avoid Chuck E. We were so proud he didn't do this at Disney. It did take him a while to warm up to them, but he did great. The whole trip was great and we can't wait to go back. I do have to say most of all we enjoyed spending time with our family. Thanks for such a wonderful trip.

Here are just a few of the shots we took. We have tons. Thank goodness for digital cameras. I don't have any of all of us. We got some taken by the Disney people in front of all the landmarks of the parks but I don't have any of them yet. Maybe I will post those when I receive them.

my little ones...literally

I wasn't expecting to have really large children, but I don't think I expected to grow em this small. Jace is such a skinny minny. People often ask if he is tall for his age, which he is not. I think that is just because he is so skinny. He will turn 4 in 2 months. He stepped on the scale last night and appears to weigh the same thing he did when he turned 3. A whopping 30lbs. Since about 18 months I have struggled to keep his pants up. Luckily they have adjustable waist pants out there. He is still wearing some of his 18-24 month shorts this spring (as long as they aren't too short). How sad is that. Oh well. He is still such a cutie. I've included a picture of his new obsession. Tattoos. The one across his chest is suppose to be an arm band, but was way to long. So he though his chest would be the perfect spot. My other little one just went to the doctor for his 15 month check up. He is in the 1% for height and below the chart for weight, like -5% if you could go negative. He just seems content to not grow very much. I can't complain much about him weighing 19lbs since he still isn't walking and I have to carry him. I had gotten a bunch of 12-18 month clothes for him to wear this summer. They are huge. I had to get in the attic and bring out all of Jace's 6-12 month summer stuff. Here is Hayden's new found love, the little tikes car. he loves to sit there and turn the steering wheel and open and close the door. Entertains him for a long time.
