We went to Disney for the boys 4th Birthday in September. We had such a wonderful time. The boys were such troopers. We went and went everyday and they while it was HOT they did really great. They had no fear and rode everything even the Tower of Terror and Splash Mountain. They never cried once but when we'd get off a ride they might say "mommy I don't want to ride that again". Seeing their little faces light up was so worth the whole trip.
We started out leaving Thursday night and going to Savannah. They boys had never stayed in a hotel before so they were very curious as to what we were doing. They kept asking if we were staying the night there. We spent Friday touring around in downtown Savannah. Had dinner at Paula Dean's and then got up bright and early Saturday morning to finish our drive to Orlando.
We arrived at our resort around 2p.m. We stayed at the Disney's All Star Movie Resort. I was not expecting to much since it's the cheapest one there but it turned out to be perfect for us and we had so much fun there. They had a Buzz Light Year and Andy as big as the 3 story building. The boys loved running around looking at everything. Our room was right outside the pool so that was very nice.
We hit up all 4 theme parks and did Magic Kingdom twice. Because we had the free dining plan we were able to eat at some really great restaurants and do lots of character meals. Joseph was not so much into the Characters. He didn't cry once but he preferred they not touch him. William ran to each one and hugged them he loved every minute of it.
We went down with my mom, my aunt Mary, Bill & Nancy Williams (memaw & pawpaw), Joy Williams (my BFF). We did everything together. Bev & Bob Yates, Jennifer Yates, Micah McGee, Jared & Callie McGee also went with us. However we only saw them a couple of times as they went until the parks kicked them out. The Robinsons and Sheppards were also there and we got to check out their cool room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge it was NICE!!!!
We did the Not So Scary Halloween party which was lots of fun. The boys dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and Woody.
All in all we had a wonderful and very MAGICAL time. We are all ready to go again and thinking about doing it in October!

WAY BEHIND!!!!
It's been so long since I've blogged...... I'll just do a brief catch-up from January on.
As many of you know Michael and I left our Church in late November. The reasons are not important. What is important is that there was a break in our relationship with serving God and serving our Church. We opted to step away from issues and negative situations that were leading us away from our relationship with God. I do admit that this was very difficult and hard on all of us. I personally have been going to Covenant since I was 4 years old. It was as if there had been a death in the family. We have visited many Churches and for the time being we are visting Rocky River Community Church and really enjoying it. Our boys are having a great time in their kids program.
We had a couple of snow days, which were really fun. One day I stayed out with the boys and we played and had a snowball fight they loved it and they got to use their snow bibs!!! Then they headed to Boone with Memaw and PawPaw (Bill and Nancy Williams) oh and Aunt Joy too.... For a week at their cabin. There was lots of snow there so they were able to sled, build a snowman, and pee in the snow!!!!
Michael and I went to Charleston in March for a marriage retreat with Rocky River Community Church. We had a wonderful time and the retreat was great too. We met some new friends and just enjoyed our time alone without the boys.
Two weeks ago I traveled with my girlfriends to the Children's Museum in Winston-Salem. It was so much fun. The boys really enjoyed the giant bean stalk you can climb that goes up two stories. We played there for several hours, had lunch, and headed back home. We were all exhausted but look forward to visiting there again this summer.
Memaw (Nancy) had knee replacement surgery on March 4th. She is doing GREAT and recovering very quickly. While she has been recovering Bev and Bob Yates have been watching the boys. The boys LOVE going to their house with all the dogs and they get to play with Jenny and Micah too. In addition, my mom and Aunt Mary were here last week to keep the boys and when they left on Saturday they took them back to TN with them for the week. It has been very quiet at my house!!!! My niece Carley and I will travel there on Friday to pick them up. I miss them but I'm also enjoying my evenings at home.
