Amanda's Birthday Celebration at Disney

For Amanda's birthday this year she decided that she wanted to go for the weekend to Disney. We took Rachel and Angie and spent the whole weekend in Orlando. It was so much fun!! We rode alot of rides and did alot of shopping the day was perfect, can't wait to do it again.

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!

Amanda's favorite ride
We had to stand in line because Amanda wanted to see Aladin


We had lunch with the characters and they even gave Amanda a birthday card and cupcake!

Just a fun day at home

Todd's 1st Hair-Cut

We finally got Todd that hair-cut, I just hated cutting off the nice curls but he needed it so bad. He looks like a toddler now.

David's Birthday

The family got together again to celebrate all the January/February birthdays which included Mom, Ross, Claire & David. We had a great time just being able to spend time with the family and letting the kids play. With everyone's busy life it's nice to take some time and catch up with everyone once in awhile.

Of course Ross was happy to be getting gifts again, his favorite had to be the fishing pole he received from Papa & Grandma, he can't wait to go fishing and try it out.

Todd and Ella had more fun with the boxes and wrapping paper. They played great together all except for the pushing, hair pulling & biting. Of course there was some hugging and kissing going on too. Just the normal kids stuff!

I decided that instead of having the normal birthday cake we would do something different and have Chocolate Fondue with lots of different fruits, cakes and even strawberry marshmellows. As you can see it was a big hit!

The end of the night and it looks like Chanele is ready for bed.

Can't wait for next time!

Our 19th Anniversary

For our anniversary we decided to get away without the kids for a couple of days so we headed to one of our favorite B&B's in Lady Lake and totally enjoyed just relaxing and spending time together. It was wonderful and I wish we could have stayed longer but of course we had to get back to work and we missed the kids.
