Florida

We just returned from a wonderful week away in sunny Orlando, FL. It was a nice vacation with my parents and us. The weather was perfect. It was in the 80's and sunny every day.
We took the kids to Disney two days. They both LOVED Disney. Jeremy and I agreed that this was our favorite trip as far as Disney goes because both kids really enjoyed it this time and really got into it.
We also went swimming a few days, went to Downtown Disney, played putt putt, and went to Gatorland. It was a great family vacation!
Here are just a few pictures. I have almost 300 if you want to see more. :)

Landon's favorite ride was the tea cups!


Kaylie liked Dumbo


This was the first time we got the kids books for the characters to sign. Kaylie loved it and made it her mission to get as many princesses and characters to sign it as possible. Landon thought it was cool to have the characters sign his book, but was not a big fan of standing with them without mommy or daddy.







The castle decorated for Christmas was amazing to see. I thought it was so pretty!



We also went to a place called Gatorland that had hundreds of alligators and other animals such as turtles, birds, and snakes. It was a really fun and different place to visit.





While we were on our trip there was a shuttle launch. We walked outside of where we were staying and could see the shuttle taking off. It was a neat experience.

Halloween Fun!

We had several events leading up to Halloween. The first one was Kaylie's Halloween party at school. She was so excited and Landon and I were so happy that we could be a part of it as well. Landon really wants to go to school with Kaylie. Now when I take Kaylie to school he says, "Landon go school? I excited!" It is so cute. Kaylie even said the other day that she wished he could come and she could play with him at school. Landon actually participated in a couple of the activities just like he was one of the kids. It was a lot of fun to watch Kaylie interact with her school friends. I am really happy with her school, teachers, and the behavior and make up of the kids in her class. Here are some pictures from the fun day.




We also did the fun job of carving pumpkins. I usually leave this job up to Jeremy. The kids give him ideas and he carves away. If you notice in the picture below, he enjoys using his drill to help with the carving.



We had a great Halloween. It was a really fun year because both kids really got into it. We took the kids to several friends in our neighborhood and then had them come home and pass out candy at our house. They thought that was a lot of fun.




This is Landon calling Mami to tell her about his night! :)


The week before Halloween I had the chance to take Kaylie to a Purdue game. Jeremy was traveling so my dad and I took Kaylie and Caden to the game. Kaylie had a blast and was a trooper. She wanted to stay until the end. After the game my dad found a place where you can play glow in the dark putt putt or putty as Kaylie calls it. The kids had fun and it was just the perfect size of course for them. So for those of you that are around Lafayette and want a fun family activity let me know.
