So funny...

I just have to share this...

During our trip to Disney this past March, my parents took Drake and his cousin to the fireworks. Drake called them boom booms, and my parents told him Mickey did the fireworks each night. Fast forward to the July 4th fireworks. Drake loved the fireworks, and kept saying "Thank you Mickey". I tried to explain that Mickey only did the fireworks at Disney, but his two year old mind can't quite comprehend that.

It's now mid July, and Drake is still OBSESSED with the boom booms. As in, goes to the window as bedtime is approaching, and says, "Peeeaaaasssseeee, Mickey, PPeeeeeaassssseeee, boom booms Mickey". And that's right, there's no L in pease. It's stinkin' adorable. Except I feel so bad for him, b/c all he wants are boom booms, and I can't do anything about it.

We're waiting for New Years.....

Wanted to sahre

I got this in an email lately, and just loved it. So much so that I wanted to share it here!

Haters/ By Maya Angelou A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters... That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed... It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right? You never know what people have gone through to get what they have... The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story... If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too! We've all got some haters among us! Some people envy you because you can: a) Have a relationship with God b) Light up a room when you walk in c) Star t your own business d) Tell a man/woman to hit the curb (if he/she isn't about the right thing) e) you are a strong person and don't let people run you over f) you have a strong and loving marriage and they can't get in-between spouses to spoil it Haters can't stand to see you happy. Haters will never want to see you succeed. Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side (like some family and friends). How do you handle your undercover haters? You can handle these haters by: 1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are ; *(VERY IMPORTANT!!) 2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you. 3. By remembering that what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation. Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when it's your time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say, 'I've lived my life and fulfilled my dreams, Now I'm ready to go HOME! When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me...Look at who is in charge of me...' Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are n ot hating on you including the person who sent it to. If you don't get it back, maybe you called somebody out! Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs. Just pray for them, that their life can be as fulfilled as yours! Watch out for Haters...BUT most of all don't become a HATER! 'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.' Maya Angelou

The last of the Disney photos!

We stayed and the Beach and Yacht club, for the pools. It was great, but I wish it would've been warmer. Part of their big pool is sand for the little ones. They loved it!

Drake and Grandpa.
He loved the slide!


And the grilled cheese sandwiches at the pool.
Until the renegade seagulls arrived.
And stole part of Drake's sandwich.
The duckies went for a swim as well.
On our last day, we went back into Epcot for a couple of rides, and lunch with the princesses.

We had to change into jeans, buy sweatshirts, and wrap the kids in blankets.
I wish you could see how stinkin' cute the boys shirts were! Suspenders and ties, with a Mickey on it!
Being this was the last day, and it was approaching naptime, the boys were over it.
Drake having a fit and struggling to get away.
I love this one. Eli is such a ladies man:-)
This was how tired Drake was. We broke the "crib and car" rule for having his binkie, and let him have it at the table. He was rubbing his ears like crazy, and just exhausted.
The one where we are all asleep.
And done.
