I bet you thought I forget about my blog...

Yup, it’s really been since October that I last blogged. I guess life just got in my way. Sorry. We went to Disney World in January and had a FABULOUS time. I could go to Disney World once a year because the wonder on those little faces is just awesome. We had a great time with everyone, and I can tell you confidently everyone enjoyed the amazing food Disney has to offer. Brynn asks to go back to Disney World at least 3 times a week and I know Reese would go back tomorrow if we let her (I would too). Here are just a few of the pictures I took while in Disney.
What more can two little girls ask for than dining with their best Disney Junior pals. Brynn was stunned when she met Doc McStuffins.
Phineas and Ferb!
Ryan and I celebrated 9 years of marriage on our first day in Disney!
We hit the Magic Kingdom, riding the Royal Carousel, and Dumbo (B’s favorite ride), an awesome parade, and meeting The Little Mermaid. We also ate dinner with Winnie and Pooh and friends, watched the fireworks show and got to meet Tinkerbell…who told Brynn she must have been in a Tinker trance because Brynn was literally speechless when Tink said Hi to her.
We were back at the Magic Kingdom. Brynn braved yet another roller coaster, with panic in her eyes (and all over her face) and the girls met Elsa and Anna from Frozen. I can’t begin to tell you how much they loved that meet and greet. It was awe inspiring for them. For dinner we dinner with Cinderella, Prince Charming, along with Lady Tremaine and her daughter (Cinderella’s step-mother and sisters)
Animal Kingdom was another stop on our adventure. Breakfast in Africa with Mickey and his gang, meeting all our Jungle Book friends, along with Pocahontas and some others.
When we met Rafiki we pretended Brynn was little baby Simba and held her up in the air!
Everybody LOVES Baloo and King Louie. Hadley wanted to ride the Kali River Rapids ride but it wasn’t warm enough for anyone else to want to commit to getting soaking wet…well everyone except Brynn. We got her all ready in Leslie’s raincoat and off she went with Hadley for the adventure. Everyone came off the ride soaking wet except Brynn.
This kiddo had a HUGE grin on her face the entire ride and when she got off. She had so much fun with Hadley and I think she knew how cool she was for braving the water ride like a champ.
She looked as if she were hovering on the ground with how the jacket was the perfect length for her.
School for the girls has been plugging along. Brynn is learning a TON of stuff and Reese is doing well. They both enjoy school immensely and never complain about going. Spring Break came and went. We visited Meems and Grampy in Houston, saw the new Cinderella movie and went to Brownsville to the Gladys Porter Zoo. The girls enjoyed themselves on all our little outings.
Reese is playing softball this year and has had two games already. The seem to be doing well and we look forward to a full season. This last week Reese was given a very special award for being a “Student of Character”. She was chosen as the 1st grader for this award, and we were very honored for her to receive this. Each time I go to her school, which is often as I volunteer A LOT, I am stopped by staff members who tell me what a joy it is to have her on campus. I have been told that she is the bright spot in their day. She is extremely caring towards other students and always looks out for others. We are very proud of her for earning this award. Reese receiving her award from the Superintendent.
All the students from Calallen ISD who received the award (each grade level picked a student)
Here's to hoping I can get around to Easter pictures soon. My old trusty shortcut app for writing my blog quit working and this long way was a pain in my booty-heiny (as Brynn calls it)
