PLAY BALL (or T-BALL in our case!)

Cami and Syd had a t-ball game yesterday. Their first game I didn't get any pictures, I used my video camera the whole time, so this time I was sure to get a few!
Here is Syd in the dugout. GO TEAM MOTO MART!

And there is Cami giving me a cute little "cheese"!

Here is Syd up to bat. She is #1 (ie. My Baby A)

YAY! I got on base!

And here is my little baby B, my #2. Isn't this just the cutest picture,
Cami looks so little out there.
Bob is one of the team coaches. He had to miss yesterday's game as he was headed down to Texas for a conference. I took this picture just for him. He is going to be super proud to see his 2 girls in their "get ready" positions. They were definitely ready for whatever came to them. They did such a great job!
Thanks to all the supporters that came out yesterday to watch Cam and Syd! They loved hearing the cheers!

Caleb's Illinois Debut

My cousin Scott is getting married in July and several weeks ago [yes, I'm a little behind on the blog post...] we attended a bridal shower for his soon to be wife, Stefanie. My Aunt and cousins from Kentucky came into town and this was the first time many of us got to meet our new baby Caleb. He is absolutely the sweetest little thing and is very laid back, a lot like my cousin Amy is.

The theme of the shower was a Tea Party. The little girls also had their own table with their own tea party. It was super cute! Here is Syd, Grace and Cami.
The next day after the shower we got the kids together and went to Monkey Joe's for some bounce time! All 3 of the girls had a blast and totally wore them out!

My final Disney post.... :-)

Okay, are you guys sick of Disney pictures yet!?!?!?!? This will be my final post about Disney, I promise. There were just so many pictures, it made it hard for me to choose!

Here is our resort - Port Orleans, French Quarter. It was right on the river. We could take boat rides to downtown Disney from our resort. It was awesome! I would recommend this resort to anyone.
And here is our resort's DRAGON SLIDE! What a hit this was with the girls!!!! Many hours were spent watching the girls go up and down this thing! Posing in front of the Dumbo ride at Magic Kingdom. I rode this one with the girls and Bob video taped us. [I think he was just scared to ride it....]
Meeting Tinkerbell - they were giddy about meeting her.
The fireworks at Magic Kingdom. The castle lights changed colors with the music. This was definitely breath taking. While you were here, it made you feel like there wasn't another care in the world. It was just so beautiful.
The girls with Snow White. Here are 3 beautiful princesses.
Blizzard Beach - a huge water park. The girls had a blast here. This is Cami getting ready to take her inner tube back up for another slide ride.
Syd coming down the inner tube slide. I think there were 5 different slides in the kid section. We spent several hours here until a little kid pooped in the pool and they made everyone get out! :-)
Meeting the Incredibles. We have seen this movie many times so the girls got a kick out of meeting them.

Disney World - part 2

We had a very eventful homecoming from our Disney trip.... We had a great flight home, dad found us at the airport with no problems, no traffic on the way home - but - once we got home, we realized that we were locked out. I had locked the door going into the house from the garage and failed to realize that neither Bob or I had brought our keys along with us to Florida. This door is never locked, Nicole has a garage door opener to get into the house - but before now - no one had a key. So, after pondering for a half hour, my dad and Bob decided to go out to his house to get an extension ladder. Bob thought he could see his little bathroom window upstairs was unlocked. Sure enough, it was! So, in hero-ish form, Bob dove/slid right in. He got big applause from the crowd as the girls and I were very happy to be able to finally go inside!!!!
The first night we were at DW, we had dinner at Chef Mickey's. Dinner with him and all his pals.
Sydney was terrified of goofy. It took her a good 45 minutes to warm up to him. She hid under the table every time he came around.

The front of Magic Kingdom
The beautiful Castle. We had breakfast here Sunday morning with Cinderella.

We had breakfast one morning at Animal Kingdom's safari breakfast with Donald, Daisy and friends.

Hollywood Studio's:
Vroom, vroom on the Harley
Bob and I enjoying some wine in Epcot Germany while the girls took a nap in their strollers!
Epcot is absolutely gorgeous.
This is the entrance to our resort.
This was a picture from our resort pool. It had a huge dragon slide.
This is also from the resort's riverwalk. From our resort you could take a boat ride to Downtown Disney. It was a beautiful ride.
Watching a parade at Animal Kingdom - Bob making sure his girls can see it! :-)
Bugs Life in 3D!
Our first full day at Magic Kingdom, we got there when it opened and left when it closed after the fireworks. 13+ hour day. The girls were troopers! Cami is being the "big" sister in this picture, Syd crashed.
Cami and Syd in Minnie Mouse's kitchen
Here the girls are having dinner at Chip and Dale's restaurant at Epcot. I think this is Dale...

Hello from Disney World!

While we await our flight back to Illinois, I had a few minutes on my hands to do a blog post! I cannot believe how fast this week has flown by. We had a magical time at Disney World - we had fantastic weather, a beautiful resort, short lines and wonderful family time together. The girls had a blast, we were actually able to pull off 2 - 13+ hour days. Boy, they had lots of energy!!!! I have 500+ pictures, here is just a preview. Well, we are getting ready to board, so I will stop here. More pictures to come.
