These are a few of my favorite things....

Hats and bananas, these are a couple of Madison's obsessions these days. Hey, at least she's easy to make happy!Madison in her frilly dress and brother's baseball cap. It was 80 degrees yeterday. Yes in February, so I was way excited to get to pull out a spring dress!

Our little Tom boy in the making.

Why is it that she will happily put on baseball hats, but pulls the bows out of her hair two minutes after I out them in? hmmmmm......

Oh yes and the other current fave, bananas. The girl can eat 3-4 in a sitting. How she just now hit the 20 lb mark with the way she eats we have no idea!

I'm just grateful I no longer have to cut them up and she eats them like a big girl now!

"Seriously mom, can a girl eat a banana in peace without you documenting every mundane detail of my life?"

"I was just kidding, I'll pose for you!"

Disney World - Day 7

For our last day we spent most of the day packing and relaxing around the resort before going to Epcot in the evening.

Madison hanging out in the hotel room.

Here are pics of the family in front of the Epcot Ball, which actully turned out to be one of Jason's favorite rides. We spent the evening eating dinner and walking around all of the countries before heading home. We left before the nightime laser and fireworks show, Illuminations. We had learned the night before that Jason is deathly fraid of fireworks so we didn't want to subject him to that again. It was a great trip, it was completely exhausting but lots of fun!!

Disney World - Day 6

For day 6 we headed back to the Magic Kingdom. We rode some rides in fantasyland and then headed to toontown to see Mickey and Minnie at their house.

Madison waiting to go into Mickey's house.

With Mickey and Minnie, Shane was sick this day and came and joned us later. The night before we went out to dinner at the boardwalk and Shane blames a bad burger for his illness.

Madison playing in toontown in her pretty princess dress Aunt Teresa gave her!

Jason in Minnie's kitchen, this was one of his favorite things of the whole trip. You know my little boy loves kitchens and this one was interactive and made all kinds of different noises with every knob turned.

Madison in a chair in Minnie's house.

After a busy day at the Magic Kingdom we had dinner at Ohana's at the Polynesian resort. It was all you can eat with meat brought around on skewers. Here is Jason and Uncle Paul going up to learn to hula.

Sharing Ice Cream with Daddy

Maddie had some too!!

Then it was off to the fireworks at the castle!

Madison had a long day and fell asleep on Paw-Paw while waiting to go into the Monsters Inc. comedy show. So sweet!

Disney World - Day 5

For day 5 we headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. My parents were nice enough to watch the kids while we went on the "big kid" rides. Here we are coming out of the Aerosmith Rock-n rollercoaster.

Jason in the Buzz Lightyear toy prop. We were in line to meet the real Buzz Lightyear and Woody!Meeting Woody, he was really TALL!!

The family with Woody and Buzz, as you can see Madison was really intrigued with Buzz Lightyear.

With The Incredibles!

Jason and the Little Einsteins

Sharing a Mickey ice cream with Daddy. You will notice the pink wristband Shane is wearing. It allowed us to go in and be one of the first people to see the new American Idol Experience attraction, it wasn't open to the public yet but thanks to mom and dads annual pass we got in!

Disney World - Day 4

Look who came to join us....Uncle Paul! He flew in from Kansas to spend a few days at Disney with us! We headed to Epcot where we started the day by meeting more characters.

Mickey helps Jason put his ears on!

Uncle Paul and Jason with Mary Poppins

Here are the kids checking out the sting rays before heading into Turtle Talk with Crush.

Our pretty girl!

After being at Epcot for a few hours we headed over to Downtown Disney for lunch.

Here is Daddy and Jason with a Buzz Lightyear statue, little did Jason know he would get to meet the real Buzz Lightyear the next day!

Disney World - Day 3

For day three we headed back to the Magic Kingdom. Our first stop was Dumbo!

Daddy and Madi ready to go on Dumbo.

Here is Jason on his absolute favorite ride, Peter Pan. We rode it about 10 times, you get to fly around Neverland in a ship and Jason just loved it.

My Mom and I on the Winnie the Pooh ride (one of my favorites!)

The family on the teacup rides. Shane hates rides that spin but agreed to go on it so I could get a family pic. Jason loved this ride because of the mouse that kept popping out of the teapot, he thought it was "so silly"! Also you will notice the monkey on his back, yes we leash our child at places like amusement parks. I would consider doing it other places too if I didn't think I would get wierd looks. The kid is FAST!

Daddy and Jason on the tommorrowland cars. Jason could barely see over the wheel.


After a couple of hours at the Magic Kingdom we headed over the the Contemporary Resort whrer we had beakfast at Chef Mickey's! Mickey and all his pals were there to greet the kids.

Jason and Madison with Minnie, look Madison and Minnie match!!!

Meeting Donald Duck

and Pluto!

Jason with his Mickey balloon that Paw-Paw bought him. I think Disney might be making all of its profits off of balloons. You would not believe what they charge for one of those, but Jason knows who to ask for things he wants, Paw-Paw is a softie for his grandkids! And that balloon did last the whole week, we had to deflate it when we were packing up for home.
