Downtown Disney & The Walkers
During our trip to Disney World, we were able to meet up with my college roomate, Jennifer, and her family. They recently moved from Mobile to the Orlando area. Jennifer, Scott, and Jack met us at Downtown Disney for dinner at Captain Jacks. Although, I wasn't able to really sit and visit with Jennifer - we were in a restaurant with 4 kids ages 5 and under (3 of them were my kids) - it was nice to see her, Scott, & Jack and do a little catching up. After dinner we headed over to the Once Upon a Time Disney store and between chasing the kids (mostly my kids) we were able to visit. The kids were in "Disney Heaven". Brady & Hudson ran straight to the Star Wars display where they were able to build their own light saber. Ella found a princess Minnie, which she later switched out for an Annie doll from Little Einstiens; however, Jack was the cutest of them all as he was intrigued with the light up Mickey that spins. You know the one they sale on Main Street right before the parade and fireworks for only $16!! Of all the toys in that place, that was the one thing that got his attention....it was too cute. Thanks Jennifer, Scott, and Jack for getting out in that nasty rain to meet up with us. Jack is just so cute and so funny....he is filled with tons of personality! It was great seeing you guys and hope to see you again soon!
He loved this thing!

Disney World
Sorry, it's been awhile since my lost post, but I've been in the "happiest place on Earth" for the past 7 days! Yes, we just got back from Disney World. Well, we actually got back Saturday afternoon, but I'm just now finding a few spare minutes to post. We had a BLAST and can't wait until our next trip. We said we are going to wait 2 years before we go back, but I bet we go within the next 16 months. We absolutely LOVE Disney World! This was Brady & Hudson's 3rd trip and Ella's 2nd trip. The kids did great on the plane - yes, we flew with 3 little ones and would do it all over again. Andy refuses to drive that long of a drive with 3 small kids.....I can't say I blame him! You can't beat a direct flight from Jackson to Orlando.....and in only an hour and a half you're there!!! We were at Magic Kingdom just a few hours after our plane landed!! Andy & I had so much fun watching the kids get so excited.....they were so much fun!! Anyway, I took almost 600 pictures but I promise I won't post all 600 of them. Here's a few of the kids on the plane and our first day at Magic Kingdom. I'll post more pics and details of the trip within a few days! Hope you enjoy!

Visit with The Hands
I'm a little late posting these....somehow I completely forgot I took these pictures. Anyway, our dear friends Jeremy & Felicia were passing through from Georgia and we were able to meet up with them for a visit. They lived on the Coast at the same time we did and we all went to church together, were in Bible studies together, and then pretty much hung out together almost every weekend. We all moved from the Coast around the same time and have only gotten together 2 other times since we moved. (I know that's sad) So we were sooo excited to be able to visit with them. This was their first time to meet Ella Caroline and we hadn't seen Elizabeth since she was 8 weeks old. Brady & Anna Lee use to play together almost everyday so it was neat to see how much they have grown and how much they have changed. It was also sad to see how much they had forgotten one another. Thanks for taking time to meet up with us Jeremy & Felicia.....we miss you guys and can't wait for our next visit!!
Sweet Anna Lee - My how she has grown!
Little Ms. Elizabeth - no longer a little baby
Brady & Anna Lee - I don't think they remembered each other
What is this crazy man doing to my brother?
Boys will be boys!!
Will these men ever grow up???
Like father like sons!!

Countown to Disney
Yippie!!! We leave for Disney in 2 weeks and we can't wait!!! Every night Brady & Hudson ask us how many more times do they have to sleep? This is there way of comprehending we leave in 13 days. They are so excited and are talking nonstop about what they are going to ride first. Of course right now instead of getting things in order for our trip we are fighting off yucky colds & viral infections. Ella ran a fever first so we headed to the dr. thinking she had strep - it's going around like crazy here and one of the kiddos in her MMO class tested positive for it last week. Well, thankfully she tested negative and just had some type of viral infection. She was fine within 24 hours. Hudson then woke up Friday morning with a high temp....I decided to hold off on taking him to the dr. b/c I'm sure his was just viral.....siblings just love to share germs, right. Well he continued to run a high fever until Sunday morning, but then woke up Sunday with a yucky cough, congestion, and runny nose. Fevers now gone, but cough & congestion have moved in!! Most of the time that doesn't stop Hudson, but today this poor guy has been pitiful! So back to the dr. we go. She did a flu test, which came back negative....yippie b/c that's going around like wildfire too! She said his sinuses were completely blocked and the fever was probably from a viral infection. He's gotten worse since we came home from the dr. and has started running fever again......please don't let this sinus infection turn into the flu or strep. We're on Vantin for 14 days hoping he will be all cleared up before our trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth"! Let's just pray this does this trick and we stay out of that yucky, germ infested dr. office for awhile!!

Sweet Babies
First, I must tell you that Ella absolutely adores her big brothers.....she just LOVES them! For the most part they adore her as well.......however, there are those occasional moments when they get a little frustrated with her - like when she tries to knock down the star war jedi's they have so neatly lined up. Well, last night this is how I found my babies. They had just gotten out of the bathtub and were watching a little "Super Why" before we started our bedtime routine. Hudson was snuggled up next to Ella, but as soon as I got my camera he moved over and insisted on being photographed by himself - little stinker!! (Sorry, the pictures are a little blurry....I'm still trying to figure out how to use my camera) These babies melt my heart.....I just love them to pieces!!

Saturday Fun
Andy's been out of town since Wednesday and will return on Monday - yippie!!! Anyway, I've been going a little stir crazy in the house the past few days - we had some pretty yucky weather last week and have been stuck indoors. What about Chick-fil-A, Back Yard Burgers, or Gattitown.......great idea, but who wants to load up three kids ages 5, 3, & 18 months and hit the roads??? Sometimes it's just much easier to stay in the comforts of our own home. Other than leaving to pick the kids up from school and a trip to Target with my mom (I don't go too many places alone with all 3 of them) we haven't been out much! Saturday morning came and I was about to go crazy......I had to get out of the house!!! So the kids and I went to watch my niece and nephew play Upwards Basketball. Brady & Hudson love watching them play and even Ella had a good time cheering on her cousins. Afterwards, my niece, Mary Katharine, and my youngest nephew, Jacob, came over to play. The kids had a blast. The weather was great so we headed outside to play. I had a great time just watching them play. They played outside for hours. All that play must have been exhausting because my kids were well asleep by 7:45! Thanks Mary & Jacob for coming to play with us....we had lots of FUN!
Do you see what's missing?
Training wheels!!
Hudson....trying to give me his serious pose.
Whee, look at me mom!
Yes, those are cowboy pj's with his boots!!
Yes, those are cowboy pj's with his boots!!
You can't really tell, but she is just a smiling!
Hold on, Ella!
Don't worry Ella, we'll get you out of this!
