Sooie!

Many of you have asked me if I have LOST MY MIND. And the answer is YES! Actually, quite a long time ago (maybe about 5 years ago--right around when Brookelyn was born)!

With that said, here is our newest family member, Sooie...as in Wooooo Pig Sooie.

She is precious and has two forever friends in Brookelyn and Braedyn who just ADORE every inch of her!

Brookelyn's Kindergarten Assessment

This morning was very exciting! Brookelyn was scheduled for her kindergarten assessment test at her new school, R. E. Baker. I took a couple of pictures of her before she headed out:

She is getting so big! After the assessment, she told me it was "easy!" They just asked the kids basic questions to get an idea of where their ability level falls. I'm so proud of her!

Disney Parks

After the cruise was over, we hit the parks! Everyone had an amazing time (but I think I got tired out of taking pictures, so I don't have quite as many as I would like)!

Here is the whole gang in front of the castle:

Here is Auntie B with her "babies":

The kids (including Sashi) wanted to get their faces painted. They looked great!

Brookelyn got some loving from her Honey:
And, Braedyn loved on his Sashi:

The kids loved running around the parks together and just being wild!

The last night we got to go on a pirate cruise (those are bandannas they gave us on our heads). We got to meet Captain Hook and Smee. The kids loved it!
Here is Honey and Sashi with their little pirates:
And, Aunt B and Uncle James with them too:
We took a boat out and got to watch the fireworks over the castle. It was amazing!
We were all so sad to come home. It was a wonderful trip that I know we will talk about for years and years. Can't wait for the next time we can all get together!

Disney Cruise

Our Disney trip was a trip of a lifetime! And, I took around 600 pictures, so narrowing it down was HARD! This first post is only the cruise photos.

This was the first night before we got on the boat. It was the kids first time to see the ocean!

Here is the whole gang before we boarded the boat. We couldn't wait to start the fun!
Our first night before dinner, we managed to grab a quick picture with Mickey, Ariel, and Woody!
While on the cruise, we took an excursion to Atlantis. The aquariums were amazing, and my mom and Barby managed to do some damage in the jewelry stores!
This is one of my favorite pictures. I captured it before dinner the second night. If only they were always this sweet!

Another family shot before dinner. I love that we got so many family pictures because it seems like I never get the chance to have any taken!

Here are the kids at Castaway Cay. I think the island was the highlight of the cruise!
Braedyn made fast friends with the ocean! He didn't want to get out!
Uncle James braved the water and helped the boys swim.
We found a mermaid on the shore!

There was all the ice cream you could eat...and Braedyn ate A LOT!

My little model striking a pose.
The kids loved dancing with Captain Hook! He was such a gentleman.
Allen and I even stole away for a little alone time. You can see our boat in the background.
While on the island we took the kids for a bike ride. It was awesome!

Getting some Daddy loving!

That night was Pirate Night on the boat.
The next morning we met Cinderella in the foyer. Here's Honey and Sashi with the kids:
And, Aunt B and Uncle James with them too:
Braedyn is already working on impressing the ladies!
It was a magical cruise, and we loved being able to enjoy it with everybody!
