We are Home

Our Disney vacation has finally came to an end and we enjoyed every minute of it. The kids had such a great time and we made memories that I will never forget! Ayla cried when I told her we were leaving Disney to come home! We got home late Monday evening and I have been trying to get caught up on sleep and laundry. The kids did great on the plane, they actually enjoyed it. It was a little rough for Brennan the first and last 10 minutes on the plane because you have to turn off all electronics and so he was not happy that he had to turn his phone off..hehe! We stayed on Disney property, so the Disney "magical express bus" picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel. We stayed at the "Coronado Springs Resort", the property was gorgeous, we stayed in what was called a "cabana" that looked out over the lagoon. We did not spend much time in our room, we were on the go from 8 or 9 in the morning until at least 10pm at night. The last night we were there, we actually didn't get back to the room until 1am, so needless to say, we need a vacation from our vacation..lol! Here are a few pictures on the plane, I plan to blog about each day at Disney, I am still getting pictures uploaded onto the computer, it will be hard to narrow them down to only a few, as I only took 400 pictures..lol. The plane pictures are not great because they were taken with my cell phone. Can't wait to see what everyone else is up too!! Tomorrow we are driving 3.5 hours to Ayla's Rheumatolgy appointment. I am praying that maybe we can start to decrease her meds! Wouldn't that be awesome!







There he is, doing what he does best!!! My little I-phone genius!!

Bedroom Makeover and a Surprise!

The weekends are just too short!! We didn't do too much this weekend, John was on call and had to work Saturday so Ayla and I did a little shopping. Speaking of which, I put a new Matilda Jane skirt on Ayla before we left. I paired it with a long sleeve pink shirt that matched and a pair of polka dot leggings. There is a polka dot ruffle in the skirt so I thought it looked cute. Well, Ayla liked the polka dot leggings but she ALSO wanted to wear a polka dot shirt (which she does have, and I can't believe she remembered) anyway, she cried for at least 20 minutes because I would not let her wear the polka dot shirt. She said that the pink shirt did NOT match. She is into matching and her clothes have to match at ALL times. It is so funny, she also has to have perfume on and her cross necklace on when we go out. It is so amazing the little things they pick up. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures before we left on Saturday. You can tell by the first couple of pictures that she was STILL upset about not wearing the polka dot shirt...lol.









We also have been doing a little mini makeover of our bedroom. We upgraded to a king bed several weeks ago and so we had to get new bedding. Then we decided to paint because the old paint did not match the new bedding (there's that word again) and we bought a few new accessories etc. The only thing left to do now is get new blinds and curtains. At the last minute we decided to paint one wall a burnt orange color as an "accent wall" to bring out the orange chair and accessories in the room. I really like how it turned out, I love a little color in a room!! What do you think? Well it's really not orange but you get the picture. The pictures are not that great because they were taken at night without any natural light.









After the "orange wall"







I just realized that I did not take any pictures of our night stands so I just went and took a few!







and finally some pictures in the picture frames...lol!

And for the surprise, guess where we are going next month? Oh, okay you do not have to guess, I will just tell you!! We are going to ...............




DISNEY WORLD!!!

We are all so excited! We are meeting friends there and they have four year old twins and that is all Ayla is talking about these days. Take my advice on this, never tell a three year old that she is going to Disney in APRIL because they do not understand that APRIL is still over 4 weeks away. No kidding, she asks every single day if today is the day we are going to Disney. We were in the car a few days ago and she saw the green interstate signs and she said, "Look daddy it says this way to Disney", we couldn't believe it, we both just started laughing. Just today I was getting ready to go to the post office and I asked her if she wanted to go with me and she said, "No I am just going to wait for daddy to get home so I can go to Disney with him"..lol. So I kind of wish I never said anything to her BUT it is so cute to see her SO EXCITED.

I hope everyone had a great weekend, I am off now to watch the "Bachelor Wedding".

Also, I have some of Ayla and Brennan's clothes listed on Ebay right now, if you are interested and want a link to my auctions just send me an email! I am listing some of Ayla's cute custom outfits!
