Epcot - Pixar Anniversary Celebration

We started our trip going to Epcot. Epcot was celebrating Pixar's anniversary at their flower and garden festival and Epcot was having a special Pixar weekend highlighting Cars 2. We are SO excited for Cars 2 to come out in June. Our boys have been counting down the days for months. :) So they were thrilled. David and Owen did a race around the world scavenger hunt and collected a special pin when they completed it. They also got lots of Cars 2 treats. And, they got to meet the cars of Cars 2! (more on that later)

This year Owen was surprisingly very brave! He went on Test Track with me and David and loved it! David went on Mission Space with me, because it makes Dave have motion sickness. It was fun going with David! He loved going to space! We also enjoyed the Nemo ride and aquarium again. David actually got to talk to Crush! He called on him and David was so cute. He was really excited and shy about it.

We had a wonderful and special first day at Epcot. We left in the afternoon to go swimming and came back for dinner and the fireworks.

The Toy Story 3 characters which were all there!

CARS 2!!!!!!

At the end of the night, this came up on the world...the boys were so excited! :)

Because of the special weekend, all the pixar characters were there! The boys were so excited to get to meet Boo and Sully, Mr. Incredible, Russell, Remy and Emile (life-size), the Bugs Life characters, and all the Toy Story characters. It was so much fun. They were so cute going up to them. Owen was just so thrilled.

The boys all got a Cars 2 poster just like this. We put it up on their wall as soon as we got home. :)

Peter Pan and Captain Hook!

David read the map and by himself figured out each place we needed to go for the scavenger hunt. He just had the time of his life. :)

At each stop, they had Cars 2 coloring pages to do which the boys loved!

Toy Story!!!

So sweet.

We had dinner with Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale on a revolving restaurant. The boys loved that it revolved!

Owen was so excited to meet Mickey!

Liam loved the characters. He gave them kisses! It was so sweet.

A perfect ending.

We're home

We are home from a wonderful time in Disney. We did not want to come home!!! We are already planning next year's trip. :)

This was our best trip ever and we made so many special memories. I am grateful that we were able to go and enjoy our family. It was so fun being with Dave and the boys for the last 8 days. David and Owen loved every minute and it was fun going on rides with them! Little Liam enjoyed each moment too. I can't wait to go though all our pictures!!!

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful mother's day. We attempted at a picture, but we were taking it in very bright sunlight. Oh well!

My boys surprised me this morning before I left for church with flowers and then Dave cooked a delicious brunch after church! All day, David was encouraging me and trying to do sweet things for me and all my boys were giving me extra hugs and kisses. The boys made me a necklace and bracelet and made me such sweet cards. The best presents of all were photo binders that Dave made himself! He made me one for each boy. He put pictures on colored paper and on each page was a picture of me and one of the boys and very sweet captions that he wrote. It was very sweet and David and Owen were soooo excited to give me my gifts. I cried when I looked through the books...I am so blessed with three boys who are so good to me. And my wonderful husband who loves me so much and who put so much effort and creativity in blessing me on Mother's Day.

I am so grateful that I get to be mom to my little boys. I love them so much!!!

Longwood Trip with the Boys

Today we headed up to Longwood for a wonderful day outside. It was a beautiful day! We walked all around the park and enjoyed all the fountains and flowers. I love my boys and it's so much fun just spending the day with them. I love their joy and their sillyness and their love for all around them. It's such a joy getting to their mom.

Liam LOVED the fountain.

And so did Owen!

So cute! I love them so.

One of many frogs that we enjoyed watching.
