Day 3


Our third day of vacation was another fun filled day! We woke up with this beautiful view and by 9:30 we were on the beach (privately owned by Disney).

We bought Gabby some sand toys and alternated building sandcastles, making Gabby into a "wormmaid" and swimming in the crystal clear water. Gabby managed to also have a dance party with Minnie Mouse and Goofy and watch hermit crab races. 


The day was perfect! The sky's were blue and filled with fluffy white clouds and the water was the perfect to cool you off when you were too hot from playing in the sand. After we all had our full of the beach we went back to the ship to relax before our evening festivities were to begin!

Grandma and Grandpa filled us in in the happenings on the ship while the 3 of us were hanging out in paradise. They ride this really cool slide that goes over the ocean 3 times (we couldn't ride it because Gabby was a centimeter too small). They said it was super fun. 

It was Pirate Night so we all got dressed up in our pirate gear before heading to dinner. We met Pirate Minnie, watched a pirate performance and sat in the rain to watch the not so impressive firework display put on by Disney. By the time we pushed the stroller back to the room Gabby was passed out.



The hostess taking care of our room had a big surprise for us (besides the golden chocolate coins and pirate bandannas we had been given earlier in the day). Gabby had soft princess sheets on her bed. She was very excited when she woke up the next morning and discovered  she had slumbered with princesses. All of the small things add up to a magical experience. Everyone constantly called Gabby princess which made her grin from ear to ear. The world revolves around the kids during the cruise. All of the people who work on the ship are there to serve the children and ensure everyone has a magical experience, which I am happy to report we did!

My 3rd Mother's Day

It's hard to believe that Sunday was the third time I've been able to celebrate Mother's Day.  This Mother's Day was especially special because I became a godmother to Aiden and Addison, some of our closest friends two children.  We woke up that morning got dressed and headed to church to watch the baptism of some of the cutest kids I ever met.  They church had us sit in the front row for ease of baptizing, but it made it far more difficult for us to contain our kids.  The baptism was at the very beginning of the sermon.  Less than 5 minutes after the baptism Gabby made a noise talking to Daddy, (I doubt the people next to us could even hear) the minister came up to me and offered to show me where the day care was.  She was very polite and sweet, but I knew I could not exactly refuse.  I have never left Gabby with a stranger, not for 30 seconds, so I walked in to the nursery and Gabby instantly began coloring.  Once Addison appeared (because the m...

Christmas Eve Elf Shenanigans

I thought we would give you a glimpse of some of the silly things Mr. Elfis (our Elf) did Christmas Eve before returning to Santa Claus.  We went to Dallas on Monday and luckily our elf (who Gabby named Snowball, then Snowball Snow Flake, but whose name is really Mr. Elfis) hopped in a car seat so he could make the journey safely to Grandma and Grandpa's and meet Ralphie, Emma and Brody's Elf. Here are the shenanigans they got into while waiting for Santa to arrive and while we were all asleep: Proof that the elves took these photos all by themselves.  If you look closely between the first two photos you can see Mr. Elfis' hand move pushing the button.   Snacking on the kid's gingerbread houses. Drinking Gabby's milk hanging upside down. What were they thinking?! Soaring with the eagles (Gabby's favorite bird). Ralphie riding a horse. Ralphie sneaking in a stocking. Mr. Elfis sliding down the banister ...

JJ Watt

Anyone who knows Gabby knows she is a crazy cat baby and that is no exaggeration.  She believes she can speak cat, chooses clothing with cats on them, calls her cat, Lila, her sister, wants to be a cat babysitter when she grows up, and literally has at least 100 toys that are cats.  This girl is obsessed and has been since she was two.  Any time we ask her what she wants as a gift her answer is always a cat. Well her dream came true one day recently.  I kept dropping not so subtle hints that cats were only $5 at the SPCA.  One day Michael said lets go look at kittens. I literally thought he was just thinking Gabby would be in kitty heaven and we were going to look, but when we arrived Michael kept saying things as though we had decided to get a kitten. So after a very long wait we went and looked at hundreds of cats and kittens, but little JJ Watt stole her heart the moment she saw him and that was it we had found our newest family member. ...
