Off we go. .. .




Well, today is our last day to pack and make final preparations! Off to Disney we go!! Our favorite place on earth!!!! :) This trip will be a little more "low key", as it was a last minute idea, but we are still looking forward to a fabulous time! We have several Character Dinings booked, and Kayden will just DIE when she finds out that she will get to do Bibbity Bobbity Boutique again! (a nice b-day surprise!) We had a BALL watching the girls get all made up last time! I can't wait to post pictures and share! Here are some teaser photos of our last experience:





















Do they look like they have the life, or what? Oh, to be a princess. . . .



Of course, with "germ-fanatic" mom here, what do my youngest 2 go and do 4 days before Disney? GET SICK!! We would love any get well vibes or prayers that can come our way. Kevin actually wound up with double pneumonia - it snuck up fast! Literally, a slight fever and cold one day to high fever and a pneumonia diagnosis the next - crazy! I took Kayden in last night, and no sign of pneumonia for her, so hopefully hers will just stay a virus and run its course. Poor Kevin had a shot of antibiotic at the doctors on Tuesday- he was BRAVE! If you have never had a shot of antibiotic, let me tell you - it is not a process for the faint at heart! It is a very long needle, and lots of antibiotic liquid to go in - my poor boy! He was amazing though, and earned his "Wendy's frosy float" for sure! Today, I think both children have turned the corner and are feeling bright and shiny again. Now if we can just keep everyone else well! :)


Well, I suppose I should go and finish up the last minute packing details - before Darrell comes home and finds me on this computer again! ;) Thank you to all the brave men and women who have unselfishly sacrificed to keep our country free! We hope you all have a fabulous 4th and be safe! We love you all and hope to see you all soon!!

Here goes nothin'. . .


Okay, so I have friends that blog. I have friends that blog WELL. I have friends that aren't as technologically challenged as I am, though! But the blog update I received from a dear friend today, sent me over the edge! (thanks, Jennifer! :) I WANT to do this! (along with having current scrapbooks, and my laundry all caught up, and our suitcases all packed for our upcoming trip to Florida. . . ) I think blogging is COOL! And, it allows me to reflect on all the wonderful and amazing adventures I have been blessed to be on, since God assigned me this job called "motherhood". I absolutely love being a wife and mom and want to share with the world. . . . . now if I could just conquer this computer . . .
Welcome to our blog!
