Promotion and Firehouse

Why as moms do we always choose to be so fussy about what are kids look like. Is it for them or ourselves? I like my kids to look cute and put together but about 30 min. after all my efforts it always seems to look like nothing special was done. This was the case on the day of their dad's promotion from 2nd LT to 1stLT. At least the people that know us also know my kids. We are so proud of Bert even thought this promotion is automatic he still is so hard working and is always striving to be the best. We also had a fun time taking some cake over to the Fire station and then getting to climb in all the Fire trucks (a little kids dream until he sees a plane). We are so lucky to have so many fun opportunities here.

Magic...

Last month we had the best vacation. We took the kids to Disney World along with my mom and dad and my sister and her family. It was so fun we rented a 15 passenger van and enjoyed every minute of our visit.




In Line for Bugs Life (Kids and Keegan)

It's hot out here (Cozette, Dallin, and Rozlyn)


Dallin was definitely not afraid of the princesses.

We had just missed the last show of the day so this all he got to see of rocket.

What is WDW without the expensive snacks.

It was so fun. We all want to go again next year. The girls are excited to ride Tower of Terror again and of course their favorite Thunder Mountain Railroad. Thanks mom and dad for making it such a great trip. Diamond Parking is the best!

A Little behind...





Life has been so crazy and full of adventure lately. I will be blogging a lot in the next few days to catch up. To start off we stopped in Atlanta for a day of fun on our way to Disney World. We began our fun filled day buying over sized jackets for the girls (I did not pay attention to the weather reports before packing). Once the jackets where purchased we headed off to the Atlanta Aquarium. It was a lot of fun and just the right size for the kids. Dallin was a little under the weather but luckily he is the easiest kid ever. After the Aquarium we headed next door to the Coca-Cola museum (which Bert has wanted us to go to for 2 years now). It was a lot of fun. I think I enjoyed it more than the Aquarium or maybe it was just my wallet that enjoyed it more. We saw the Polar Bear and then watched a fun 3-D movie and proceeded to taste some of the nastiest drinks I have ever tastes (Beverly from Italy). The girls had fun tasting all the different drinks that coke produces around the world and receive their very own bottle of coke at the end of the tour. After the Coke museum we headed to Olympic park across the street and spent some of their pent up museum energy. It was a good way to start our vacation.
