disney

 guess where we went yesterday?   what a trip.  eileen has more pics so i'll try and steal some from her,  but here are a couple of our day at the one and only disney world.  the biggest hit was of course the buzz lightyear spin ride.  true love is waiting in that line, twice i might add.  the kids loved 'driving' lightning mcqueen - please notice that driving for chapin did not necessarily mean steering.  the disney characters were a pretty big hit.  rowe saw woody and jessie.  chap was not totally convinced, but she acquiesced for a pic with pinocchio.  moni and winnie rented a suburban for their last week here so we all piled in the for 9 hr ride.  once we got back home, let me just say that we all slept well last night. we all had a great time & lived to tell about it.  

ps - thanks, dandaddy for making it possible.

fishin'

so we had a family fishing day a couple of days ago.  chap messed around with her horses, thanks christensen crew for sharing, rowe messed with the fish, andy loved having everyone on the boat even if we are still learning boat etiquette, and i loved just being with the crew. sweet day and looks like we are gonna have more to come :-) i forgot to mention the biggest news.  rowe caught his own fish from start to finish.  can you guess who was the most thrilled about this.  a hint - he's the tallest.

b-day

momma lee had to scoot back to texas today. we had so much fun, so much good food, and so much good momma lee time. we got to spend rowe's birthday together, which was so fun, too.  momma lee held down the fort for us yesterday & she said that rowe kept saying all day long, "my name is rowen galloway lee & i am a four year old boy." he just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. i get it:-)

fish

 

momma lee helped me make rowe's fish cupcakes for the big 4 year old throw down.  more pics to come. i'll take no credit for the creativity on this one. found them in a magazine and they were totally non-crafty friendly. 

wild

so this one has been a trip lately.  she says crazy stuff all day long. started peeing in the potty on christmas. a couple days before that, swallowed what she told us was a quarter and then several much awaited days later, pooped out a dime.  i will never be able to thank eileen enough for that. yesterday, she hosed an entire tube of chapstick as well as a bite of a non-toxic, thank you jesus, glow bracelet. i mean the child is into trouble.  she sure is cute though.
