who really likes to see the dentist.


does anyone else hate going to the dentist?  
I love our dentist- he really is amazing and unfortunately we have spent way too much time in his office with teeth injuries.  
Now that I have 3 kids who have to been seen- it is pure misery.  
but on the up side- the shades and built in tv's are pretty great.



a miracle



these moments don't happen very often in our house.  
we are more a house of fighting, yelling and nonstop picking on each other.  
So a moment when they are all in one chair listening to me read harry potter- 
pretty dang cute.  
I really can't help falling even more in love with them when they are so dang cute.  


parties continue on...


tae kwon do has become the favorite of the hood- everyone is doing it- both the boys and the girls.
so everyone was excited when our cute friend josh had a tkd birthday party
they got to try out some fun moves and break a board.   it was pretty cute.  





james, jake, josh, zach, andrew, samantha, william, caroline, owen, jackson...

sweet ciara

cams adorable friend ciara had a birthday party at a jewelry shop
you would think they were in heaven 
they each got to make a necklace and bracelet.
the best part for ciara and her sister tristan- their dad was in town for a few days 
from afganistan.  now that is a good birthday present.




why?!

I really don't understand why kids can eat some food and not get a speck on them....
but spaghetti always looks like this?  
before we eat spaghetti both of my girls have to strip their shirts off because the stains- yea i learned the hard way and have ruined a few good outfits. 
 I hope they aren't 40 and still look like this at the end of dinner.  




2nd day of snow



it wasn't much- 
but it was enough for a great full on war snow ball fight in the hood...
b, jake, andrew, camiron, owen and jackson all were a part of the mix



random gem


I don't know where we got this random gem..
but for all those out there who wonder what troy looks like at work.....
here you go.  a billion computers and a military uniform with his cute glasses.
yep thats my man.  he's a rockstar.


magic kingdom day 2

for some crazy reason this didn't post the first time... so here it is again.
we spent a second day at magic kingdom since we only made it halfway through the first day.
we hit some classics, tea cups, carousels, and small world.  
bradens favorite ride was the car ride- which was loud and well... loud.  he made us do it like 10 times.  
but he was so excited every time we couldn't make him stop :) 
I love a little boys excitement.   (and he refused to ride most roller coasters unless camiron gave the go ahead that they really weren't scary.  I love them!)
we lasted long enough to finally catch the fireworks and the light show on the castle.  











seaworld


and to complete our trip and reach full exhaustion we hit seaworld for our last day.
We were pretty tired from all our other parks- but still had a great time at sea world.
and thanks to the military our family got in free so how could we miss that.
there are some great shows and fun rides and we had a blast!  





it was very sad to say goodbye to nana and papa after a great trip with them
and a brutal drive back...  goodbye florida hope we see you again soon!

disney day 4...


we hit downtown disney for a day off and camiron 6th birthday.  
Braden and Emory hit the lego store while camiron was treated 
to the "royal treatment at the bippity boppity boutique"  
What a fun birthday treat for her!!
they did her nails, makeup and princess hair- and she had her favorite princess dress to make sure she looked the part..
then we went to a special birthday lunch at the rainforest cafe and headed back to the hotel for some swimming.  what a perfect birthday


















disney day 3....


day 3 brought us to hollywood studios.  This park wasn't quite as fun as the others- but we still 
loved it.  the best was the cars show.  it was high adventure and the kids were glued to the show.
cars speeding around, jumping over things and out windows.  it was pretty great.
the kids also finally got their faces painted- which they were dying to get since we had gotten to disney...

and best of all.... Emory turned 2!  happy disney birthday to my baby girl.
