Just a weekend at the bay.....

This past weekend we went to the bay Friday evening. It was a short weekend (we had to be back for a birthday party at 2 on Sunday) but a fun one. Great weather! Here are the girls playing outside in the sand.
Addie being super silly.
Jason pulling the kids in the boat.
The girls eating popcicles.
Addie fishing.
Zachary and Will....
Will is at a fun age and he is such a happy happy baby. I had fun taking pictures of him Saturday morning.
We are planning on going back this weekend for the holiday weekend. Hopefully I can get some more good shots of the kids!!

Zachary's Kindergarten Graduation

This morning our sweet little boy "Graduated" from Kindergarten. Zachary was so cute today. He looked so happy and we are so proud of him. He is such a sweet and happy child. He loves going to school and playing with friends and learning. They actually didn't call this a graduation rather an "Award Program." Each child was awarded a certificate for being the most "whatever." Zachary received a certificate for being an "Outstanding Leader." I remember a year ago when Z attended the Kindergarten Rounded Up (the preschoolers come visit the school) and he gathered the kids around him in a huddle and said, 'Okay this is what's going to happen.' The Assistant Principal was right next to him when he did this and Mr. Allen laughed and said, "Now there is the next Mayor of Gulfport." Here is our big boy walking in.....
Here is Zachary getting his certificate.
Almost a First Grader!
One of the girls in his class, Ella, wanted her mother to take a picture of she and Zachary. She is so much taller than him!
Here is Zach with Mrs. Papania (the teacher's assistant) and Ms. Lindsey (his teacher). They were wonderful teachers. I know Zachary is going to miss them.

Addie's Toes

Addison finally let me paint her toenails! I've asked her a number of times but she was never interested. Yesterday she saw that Sophie's toenails were painted so I'm sure that is why she was up for it this morning. (I was painting mine and she said she wanted hers done too.) After I took these pictures she asked to have her finger nails painted. I wanted to take a picture of that but she declined. :) Our little girl is growing up quickly so I wanted to document this special morning!

Disney World - Day 3

On our third day in Disney World we went to Epcot. When we first got there we ran right into Daisy Duck.
After taking pics with Daisy we headed over to get a fast pass for the Test Track. While we were over there Jason and Zachary got in line for Mission Space. This is a ride that makes you feel like you are actually going up into space. It spins you around so fast that you feel the G-Force. There is a huge screen in front of you that makes it look like you are flying into space. Meanwhile the pilot is telling you to push this button or that. Zachary wasn't able to ride it last time we were there so he was very excited to be tall enough this time. Addie and I sat on a park bench and just hung out while the boys went to outer space. Once that was over we headed over to the Finding Nemo ride which is one of the only rides Addie could go on. It's not very exciting but oh well. She and Daddy checked out the sea life in the aquariums while Zach and I used our Test Track passes. After that we ate lunch and then got in line to meet a bunch of characters. It sure is hard to get both kids to look at the camera at the same time and both smile!!
We pretty much headed back to the hotel after this so the kids could swim. I'm not sure why I didn't take very many pictures that day. Stay tuned for our fourth day in Disney World. We went to.....The Animal Kingdom!
