Disney/Beach Vaca Part 1

Well... We have been back from Disney for a couple weeks now, and it is about time I sit down to sort through all the pictures!


Holey Moley... You may want to grab your coffee and get comfy!

Vacation started about 3am because we had a 5:30am flight Saturday morning!

We were all SO EXCITED! B and Walk did AMAZING on the flight! Walker received his first flight wings! and here is B on her first flight when she was 8 weeks old!

Everyone was totally zonked from getting up so early... especially this one... so we ate dinner and hit the sack for our first day at DISNEY!

So we decided to tackle Disney Sunday and Monday, do Disney Springs Tuesday, then head to the beach for the rest of the week. 3 days at Disney was PLENTY for a 3yr old and 6 month old. This was the first time for Kevin, Brooke, and Walker to experience "the happiest place on earth". It did not disappoint!! Here it goes with Day 1...

First stop... scooter rental... it came in handy as I will explain later...

I mean, just seeing the castle made us all giddy!

We walked around for a bit just taking it all in when we came to this dreaded Brooke's favorite ride. I mean seriously, she was in awe the entire time.
#wearestillsingingthisinoursleep

Here is the thing... we took total advantage of the scooter for a couple rides. They got us right on the ride, no questions asked!

Next stop, Ariel. You see, we came all the way to Disney World to see Ariel and Rapunzel. Anything for our 3 year old!


The five most important guys in my life!

#powernap

Gaston's cinnamon rolls were awesome!

I am not sure which of these two were excited about the scooter more. Walker drove it like he stole it!


We stopped for a show at the castle. Brooke is so into shows, I really wish Magic Kingdom had the sit down shows like the other parks...

Belle is now one of Brooke's favorite princesses.

We hit up the Buzz Lightyear, Winnie the Pooh, and Carousel rides before lining up for the light show parade! This was the last night the light parade was being held at Disney World, so it was SO crowded! Thanks to my Disney experience app, my battery was drained long before the evening was over!

Here comes day #2!


Monday we woke up SUPER early because we had reservations at Be Our Guest (at the back of the park) at 9am...



For some reason I got a few pics of all the boys, but not the girls. We must of been running around like crazy while the boys popped a squat waiting for us to decide what was next!

Love him!

Disney day 2 was all about meeting princesses. It was the cutest thing to see Brooke so star struck. She told me that every princess was "absolutely beautiful", and most of them had blonde hair like her!
#princessesfordays #shewasinheaven





While B was having the time of her life, Walker was all like...
One day he will want his picture with all the pretty princesses too!

In between meeting princesses, we had TACOS for lunch!

and took a few pics with the castle while we were watching parades!



Love this girl so so much!

Since we did not buy the extra tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, we left the park at 7pm!

We checked out of our hotel in the morning Tuesday and headed to Chef Mickey's for brunch. To say Brooke was terrified of the characters was an understatement! Walker loved them!



Kevin enjoyed making his mile high ice cream cone!

Love this family of mine!:)

We spent the rest of the day at Disney Springs before finishing dinner at the Rainforest Café!

Writing this post made me completely exhausted all over again, but it was more than worth it to see how much Brooke loved it! Swing back by later this week for part 2!

XOXO,

Christina

Trick or Treat!

Hello November 1st!

We had a crazy busy weekend, so Sunday we swung by my parents house for quick Halloween goodies!

#myparentsgooverboard #soblessed #mykiddosarespoiled

Walker man cracks me up! Brooke finally got a boy Barbie (Prince Eric) so she can play wedding with Ariel and Eric!

A unicorn, blue bird, and Uncle Mark!


We headed across the street for Trunk or Treat, but it was so cold I took approx. ZERO pictures!

Thank goodness for last night's weather and trick or treat festivities! Brooke had SO.MUCH.FUN! She was super sick last year and was unable to go, but this year, she nailed it!

Me and my girl! I couldn't love her more!:)

These two are my world! I am so blessed to be their momma!

While B and mommy and daddy were doing this...

Walker man enjoyed 10 min of trick or treating and assumed this position!


Thank you Jesus for the beautiful weather! Hope y'all enjoyed an evening with the kiddos too!

XOXO,
Christina

Pumpkin Patch

Happy Halloween!:)

How is it already the end of October? Seriously.... bring on the Holidays!

What is fall without some pumpkin picking?!?

Last week we headed to one of our favorite farms. This was a first for Walker, so Brooke picked him out the cutest little pumpkin!

This was the best family photo we got... Brooke has been in one those "don't take my picture" moods lately... but she is constantly looking at pictures of herself on my phone and gets upset when she is not in them!

#abloggersnightmare #walkerwaskillingit

I am seeing a trend!

Handsome farmer:)

Bubba and I

My babies!

Ok, she gave me one smile! I must of said "daddy farted" or something

#whateverworks

My big pumpkin!

We munched on caramel apples and apple cider slushies before heading back home to paint our pumpkins.

That smiley girl is ready for some trick or treating tonight!
