DisneyWorld - Day 2 of Orlando Trip

We had the best day at DisneyWorld! We left our house around 9am and stayed until the fireworks were over around 8pm. It was an all day affair, but the boys did so great! It was such a fun time and I am so glad they got to experience it! We got to do so many things, I don't know where to start. I am limiting myself on the pictures but I will post all of them on a Shutterfly site when I get home. My brother in law, Ryan, brought his new camera and got tons of great pics too, so with all of our shots combined, it is hard to choose just a few! But here is some of our day...

Here is the entire group minus our dear friend Alyssa (babysitter!)

Here is a shot of the boys as we start our day!

Here is Cinderella's castle. My boys didn't seem to care too much for it!

Here is our family before entering the Moster's Inc. Laugh Show. It was funny, but Caden didn't enjoy it because he doesn't like stuff he hasn't seen before!

This is what Carter did for at least two hours today! He passed out right before lunch, so we just let him get a good nap in!

Here I am with the other two boys at lunch. Cole did so great, just slept and ate. I can now say that I have nursed him just about anywhere you can imagine. He was a trooper!

Here we are right after lunch. Cory and Caden just finished a car ride while I fed Cole and Carter slept more. Then we moved on!

Right after lunch, we headed from Tomorrow Land to Mickey's Toon Town Fair. As soon as we walked in there, we saw some face painting. I encouraged Caden because I thought it was just a small paint thing like he got at KidFest. Oh, no...it was major! He picked Pluto of course, so here is how it went down...

Here is the beginning of the paint job.

Caden sat so still while he was getting painted. Here is the final shot, Caden painted up as Pluto!

He loved it! He panted and wagged his head for several minutes after! Here is all four kids. Brooklyn and Mia were Princess Kitties and Tate was a tiger.


Grammie bought the boys their Mickey Ears, so they had to show them off!

Cole didn't get ears, there weren't any small enough! But this is how he spent most of his day! So happy! Here are Carter's ears! We all thought he looked too sweet!
I think this was the boys' favorite part of the day! We got to meet Mickey and Minnie! We toured Mickey's home, then followed the line to meet Mickey. We walked into this room and there they were. When it was our turn Carter just walked right up to them to shake hands. Caden waited for Momma to come with him! Minnie was quite amazed by little Cole. It was cute!

Here is Carter being friendly with Mickey. He wasn't shy at all!Caden hugged Minnie first then went on to shake Mickey's hand! Here is the family shot that Daddy took!

First Airplane Ride

Finally pics of our trip...I hope I don't bore you with too many, but I don't know quite where to stop with all of them!

Here are a few from the airport and airplane. The kids did so well, it was amazing! We flew out aroun 7:30am so it was an early morning. Cole was great, and slept most of the time with no fussing! Carter fell asleep on the landing of the first flight and through our brief layover. He wiggled some and got a little restless but didn't fuss at all! Caden was a trooper and listened to his new MP3 player the entire time. He finally fell asleep about halfway through the 2nd flight.

Here are the kiddos watching planes land and getting ready to board. From L to R: Caden, Mya, Carter, and Tate.Carter sat with me the 1st flight and with Daddy the 2nd flight.Cory was teaching Carter how to play Texas Hold 'Em on the flight!Kaci was in heaven holding Cole, so I let her the entire 1st flight! I kept him with me on the 2nd flight because he had to eat! Caden was so excited on this 1st flight. He kept telling us all he was seeing outside, it was precious. At one point he even said, "Shucks Daddy, we are flying fast!"
After our snack meal on the 2nd flight, he conked out!

Update on the MckFamily

Go on over and check up what they are all up to. God is awesome and is still performing miracles!

Please Pray for Us

We are finishing up our packing and getting ready for our Reid Family Vacation. For those of you who don't know, all 13 of us (6 kids 5 and under :)) plus a babysitter are flying to Orlando for the week. Please pray that all the traveling goes smoothly and that the boys do well.

We have everything we need in two suitcases, 3 carryons, 1 double stroller, and I think that is it! I hope to be able to post while we are gone. Love you all and miss you already!

PS- so many people posted Friday and Saturday but I didn't get to comment or read them all! I will when I get back, I promise :)

KidFest 2008

Here are a few pics from KidFest. I didn't get many this year because I was running around getting Cole settled. For those of you who don't get to go, our church has lots of fun stuff for the kids, inflatables, hayride, carnival games, and biblical scenes to walk through. Well they do the nativity scene and Cole was Baby Jesus. So I had to get him situated and stay with him off and on all night. So I missed out on some stuff, but not too much!

Here are my little men before we left the house!

The boys loved the carnival! One of the big attractions was Mimi's ping pong toss to win a goldfish. Caden actually won his, then Mimi decided that Carter needed one too! Much to Cory's dismay, we came home with two goldfish! As of 1pm Saturday, one was dead...as of 6pm the other passed on! Oh well, Maggie (our cat) was eyeing them all night anyway, they didn't have a chance!

Happy Halloween

We decided to go to Trunk or Treat this year at the Church of Christ here in town. I wanted to the boys to get some mileage out of this year's costumes...I am not sure what I was thinking. We had fun and they got more candy than they or their momma needs to eat! We met Brandy, Tyrel, and Graydon there. It was fun! Here are a few shots of our little men...

Cole, the friendly and very tired ghost!

Caden the fireman and Carter the elephant! Thanks to Tate for the fireman costume and Grammie for making such a cool elephant! Also thanks to Grandma Verla for the cool pumpkin flashlights, they came in handy that night!

Carter and Graydon: Best Buddies

This will have to do for now. We will be going to our church and KidFest tonight. I will post more pics of tonight after KidFest is over!

Halloween Flashback

I have seen a few others post Halloween Flashback pics, so I thought I would join in!

My Little Race Car Driver 2005 (14 months old)

In 2006 we began our obsession with Thomas, so Caden (2 yrs old) was a Train Engineer.
Here he is with Daddy practicing, "ALL ABOARD!"

Now last year, 2007, we got to dress two little boys! Caden was obsessed with Diego, so we of course did what he wanted. Carter just had to be what we had, which was a lion. But we decided he was sort of Baby Jaguar to go with Diego. Caden was 3 yrs and Carter was 10 months.

Stay tuned for this year's costumes...they are pretty cool!

UPDATE!

Cole's checkup went great! He was 14lbs. 9 oz. and 24 inches long! He was healthy and will go back in 2 months. For those of you thinking he is huge, his brothers were both 14lbs. 12 oz. and 24 1/2inches long at 2 months. So not that big right :)
