I still think it is just one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The huge oaks and the Spanish moss are just delicious and feed my soul. We went to visit my lovely sister Sarah and we decided to spend one day at Jefferson Island and the Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Do yourself a favor and please make a plan to head that way. Not only can you tour the beautiful home and grounds but you are also only 6 miles away from Avery Island where you can tour the Tabasco factory and see the grounds there as well which have some amazing gardens w/alligators!
The flight from DFW may only be an hour but with Libby it feels like a lifetime. This trip we passed the time taking selfies and playing with lipstick:

We learned that peacocks love Goldfish cheese crackers. On a side note: check out those cute yellow mary janes on Libby's feet! They are Joy Folie and I got them at an adorable little shop in Lafayette called Kiddeauxs (love the name) on super sale. I may or may not have left there with 7 new pairs of shoes for Libby Rose. </div>

By that evening when we picked him up from school he was not feeling any better/had fever/ and complained of lower R quadrant abdominal pain. Having had my own appendix taken out I had high suspicions that Ezra was in trouble so we rushed him to our local after hours clinic which then promptly sent us to the Emergency Room at Cook Children's hospital. After a VERY long night of blood work, an ultrasound, and a MRI they finally decided to take Ezra to surgery the next morning at 7:00am. Ezra had an amazing surgeon named Dr. Thomas who did an awesome job removing his appendix. Ezra had to spend the night and most of the next day in the hospital to recover but he was super brave the entire time and never cried once. He was a stud. Libby was LOVING it! She got to eat all of the popsicles and jello she wanted because when they brought something for Ezra to try if he didn't want it Libby got to eat it. The staff and volunteers at Cooks were AMAZING and Michael and I just couldn't have been more pleased with our experience there. Ezra is doing just fine and is just happy that he can go swimming again now that his incisions are all healed up.

They are members of a vacation club and earn points annually. This year because my brother is playing on a summer football league they weren't able to use their points so my mom generously gave us some of their points to use to go where ever we wanted. I decided that I needed to go somewhere that there was water but not a beach because Libby is scared of the waves and instead loves to douse herself with sand which my other moms to AA kiddos know is very difficult to get out of her hair...SO instead I opted to go for a lake that was close enough to drive to since I am trying to save money and getting a guaranteed flight for 3 people with American Airlines via stand by in the summer is pretty unlikely. Well after days and days of reviewing our options on the Wyndham Resort web site I decided on a resort in Fairfield Bay, Arkansas. The resort is on Greers Ferry Lake and is sort of central to 2 different areas of National Forest which would allow us to explore as well as swim and fish.
<br />
<br />
Day One: was spent on the 7+ hour drive up to the lake. We had a 2 bed room cabin/condo/tree house as Libby called it. The buildings themselves and the surrounding area are in the middle of nowhere. I honestly was thinking, "this was a huge mistake", pretty much the whole time driving into "resort". The area has 1 grocery store, 1 or 2 gas stations, and several run down or closed businesses. When we checked in though I was surprised by how many people were also checking in so I thought that maybe they know something I don't and to just stay positive. They gave us a map to our chalet and we were off. The first thing to know about this "resort" is that it is very spread apart. You have to drive quite a ways to get from one part to another and it's sort of split up into little neighborhoods each with it's' own pool. Our was called Hamilton Cove and I loved it. It's actually on the lake and the pool is very nice. Our chalet was a 2 story 2 bedroom 2 bath condo with an upstairs and downstairs porch area where you could sit out on a table and chairs and watch the deer, listen to the crickets, etc. It is very remote so even though there are other people there we felt like we were alone most of the trip. The condo was very nice inside and seems to have been redone recently. I was very very happy with it. We had brought a lot of stuff grocery wise from home but once we got there we knew we needed to make a cold item grocery run and found the grocery store to be very well stocked and found everything we needed. (it is a dry county though so bring your own booze from home).<br />
<br />
Day 2: The Marina<br />
We decided to rent a party barge the second day to cruise around the lake and do some water sport stuff. I have never water skied or tubed before or driven a boat for that matter so we decided to get a boat that we could lay out on and swim from and tube from. It was perfect. I'm not sure what the total cost was b/c Michael paid for it but you can rent the boats by the hour and the staff at the marina are adorable. They were super sweet and Michael commented about how easy it was to rent the boat. There was no line, no long wait. The marina is also super nice with a cute little store inside as well as a grill where you can get burgers, etc. We packed lunches and brought an ice chest with us pretty much every day which I highly recommend. Again there are no fast food places around and the restaurants are only open certain days of the week and only until 8pm so just plan on eating in and cooking at your condo. Outside of the marina there are hundreds of carp that you can buy fish food for $0.50 to feed. The kids LOVED that and they are so tame you can even pet them. <br />

This is one of the boats you can rent. As you can see this one has a second level with a slide on it! Ours was not this fancy but having some kind of covering is a MUST. Later on in the week we rented a fishing boat that didn't have any cover to give you a break from the sun and I felt like a fried egg. It was SO hot!</div>

Most of the lake is either edged by boulders like these or small trees at the edges. There are a few places where there are small pebbles or at least smaller rocks where you can anchor and swim or wade to the shore to eat a picnic lunch or explore but those are few and far between. I would say that if you plan to go to the lake though there are 2 "beaches" that have designated swim areas almost everyone just seemed to anchor their boats in the middle of the lake and swam from their boats. We rented a tube for $10 for 4 hours and had a lot of fun doing that. Everyone took turns and I learned the drive the boat which was awesome and very easy. Michael's mom came with us and she tubed as well. </div>

After we left the lake we still had daylight left so we decided to go and explore. We opted to head nearby to the Natural Bridge near Clinton, Arkansas. It's basically a rock formation that creates a literal bridge. It is worth the visit just for the drive down to the valley that the bridge is in. It's super lush and very green but also very steep so I wouldn't go after a heavy rain when it may be slippery. The office closes at 6pm and we got there around 5:20 and still had plenty time to see the old historic log cabin there was well as walk the trail and see the bridge. We were the only ones there and it wasn't too hot. I highly recommend going at the end of the day like we did and then you have run of the place.</div>

Since we were in exploration mode we decided to go back to Fairfield Bay resort b/c right next to the golf course is a trail that leads to the Indian Rock Cave. It is said that Ponce de Leon came here in search of the Fountain of Youth. Inside the cave you can see a crack where there used to be a spring where there is a damed up wall that would create a sort of fountain.

There is a trail that goes past the Indian Rock Cave and you see more overhands and rock walls but we didn't travel the entire length since it was getting late and we were all really hungry by that point. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our third day we decided to drive West to the national forest to see Pedestal Rocks and Falling Waters (2 points of interest that I'd read about on a blog that the author said were close to each other which makes the idea of millions of acres of forest to explore less daunting). There were 3 options that google gave me to get there from the resort and I just picked the one that seemed the most straight forward. When I first thought that the Fairfield Bay was the middle of nowhere I was so wrong. The route that I chose had NOTHING- NOTHING. There were beautiful swathes of hills side and valleys and mountains and a few home sites but mainly there were cemeteries and dinky fire stations which were like overgrown sheds. We drove for about 1.3 hours and finally saw a sign for a gas station. I decided to detour to the gas station because I had no idea where we were as there is no cell service so good luck with GPS and I was starting to freak out a bit and needed to know that there were other people in the world. The gas station proved to be no only a gas station but also a small grocery as well as the local post office. There was a single pump and it was something of an antique. To make matters worse I was dying to pee and the sign on the door of the gas station said, "no restrooms". uuuugggghhhhh. Luckily I had cash on me and once we filled up we were off again hoping to find out way to the Falling Water.</div>

I had printed directions from 3 different sources and they all seemed to have different directions to get to the waterfall and none of them were great. It's basically down a winding gravel road that branches from another gravel road that branches from the main highway. (Mad props to Arkansas roads though. ) The roads that are paved are super smooth and well maintained. I told Michael I think that they are so good b/c no one drives on them. We were the only car that we saw the entire 2 hour drive! When we finally reached what we though was the "Falling Waters" I was super duper disappointed. I was expecting a water fall with a large pool to swim in and instead we found a little shelf of rock with a ditch basically. The kids still wanted to swim and it was very shallow and there were some small fish in the "pond" so Ezra had a blast looking at them through his goggles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we decided to leave to head to the next location Michael urged me to keep looking for the real Falling Waters and luckily we just had to drive about a mile down the road and we found it.</div>

There were several cars parked off the side of the road so we knew we were in the right spot. Here there is a large drop off that creates a water fall after a large rain. In our case it was been dry for a while so it was more of a light pouring but the water was super cold and refreshing.</div>

The water in the pool was deep enough that you could climb up the boards on the tree in the corner of this photo and jump into the water below. They even have a rope swing. Shortly after this photo was taken a whole mess of people showed up and were getting rowdy so we opted to eat our lunch and move on. </div>

Next we drove on to an area that actually had a marked trail with a map and a sign indicating where to go so that made life much easier. We went to Pedestal Rock Trail which is 2.2 miles long and takes you out to see these amazing bluffs and overhangs, and is also the starting point of some King something or other Trail which is 1.7 miles and takes you to a waterfall. We decided to go to Pedestal Rocks since we had just left a "waterfall" and it really was more of a trickle so I didn't want to hike that far and see nothing. Libby got about 12 steps into the hike and said her "bones hurt" and that she couldn't walk anymore. Ezra's backpack held all of the water and it was too heavy for Ezra to carry. My back and neck were KILLING me from riding the tube the day before so I was pretty much worthless so Michael became the pack mule carrying both backpacks and Libby Rose. </div>

I have to say that the trail is often only about 6 inches wide and has a lot of vegetation. There were time when I honestly didn't know if we were on the actual trail, a game trail, or just a water run off area. We were the only people around for miles and the area is known for bears so if you do plan to go don't go alone and bring a bear whistle or some protection. I also forgot the dang bug spray at the condo and we got destroyed by mosquitos and Michael got a tick. We also found ticks back at the condo the following days. I'm not sure if we brought them or if they were already there but be aware and soak in bug spray before venturing out into the woods. The hike is relatively easy going down to the rocks but coming back up had me sweating like crazy. This is one of the "pedestal rocks". The view is amazing and you can see for miles and miles.</div>

There are trails that go down under some of the outcroppings where there are small caves. Ezra really wanted to explore so I went with him a few times but the climbs back up can be strenuous and I didn't want to surprise any napping bears either. </div>

There are several areas where the trail is only about 12 inches wide and you are literally walking on the edge of the cliff. Wooden fences like the one pictured below appear randomly on the trail and oddly enough aren't even in the areas where they are really needed. </div>

Day Four: Caverns</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love to explore caves and have gone to several here in Texas but this was by far my favorite cave system we have seen. We headed up North to Blanchard Springs and it is beautiful there. There were several places where you could stay in a cabin right on the river and I would highly recommend that. We had to drive through Mountain View in order to get there from Fairfield Bay and we saw this adorable little country store. Sadly it is closed on Wednesdays :( but I would definitely plan ahead next stop to actually be able to go inside. Also they have a room for rent in the upstairs portion that I'd sure is completely adorable. </div>

The Blanchard Springs caverns are within a section of the Ozark National Forests so it is very nice with lots of parking and it is very well maintained. There is a little film that explains how the caverns were formed that is super interesting and I highly recommend watching it before going down into the caves.</div>

Day Five: Fishing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last day we decided to rent a fishing boat ($65 for 4 hours) and tried to see what we could catch. I got this photo at the beginning of our trip and after that with no covering to block out the sun it was all I could do to not pass out. I didn't take any more photos, not even of the fish we caught because I left my phone on the boat like a dummy and I was too tired to hike back to the dock to get it. </div>

I can't believe that next year she will be in Kindergarten. We don't really think she's ready to go but I hate for her to spin her wheels in Pre-K again so we will give it a try but are completely prepared for her to repeat Kindergarten next year.

I have been trying to plan at least one outing a week and our first one was to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas. It was very well done and I loved seeing the reproduction of the oval office as it was when Bush Jr. was president. My personal favorite was the displays of some of the gifts that were given to George and Laura Bush by the visiting dignitaries. There are some amazing pieces of jewelry and precious metals as well as more humble gifts like pieces of hand painted pottery and even gifts that were given to their dogs. The cherry on top was when we saw Owen Wilson (his family lives in Dallas) going in as we were leaving. I tried to play it cool and just ignore him but Michael had to give him a wave and he did wave back so now Michael says they are "boys".</div>

Not really related to a summer outing but I did order these large engineer prints for Libby's room from Parabo press and just wanted to share them here in case anyone is interested.

Now on to another adventure. One day I decided to take the kiddos to NRH2O which is a water park here in North Texas. It was AWESOME! We have been to a smaller water park in our home town which is okay but I was really really impressed with NRH2O. There are so many different little "areas" that are great for smaller children who maybe can't swim so great like Libby but that also cater to larger kids like Ezra who want to go and swim like a fish. We had a great time and I definitly wish that we lived closer b/c I would be investing in a season pass for sure.</div>

We have also been to the U.S Mint/Federal engraving and printing something or the other here and honestly that was a bit of a let down. The security measures in place were something to behold though and I have no photos of that trip b/c you are not allowed to bring in a cell phone. You have to leave it in your car. These guys are NOT playing around. There is a self guided tour of the factory where you can watch as money is printed and made which is really neat. I didn't get to listen to the tour though b/c we brought Libby with us and that was a fiasco so we had to kind of rush through it. Seeing those HUGE stacks of money was nuts and I couldn't believe how the workers were so detached from it.

She is so imaginative and has several "imaginary friends" namely Maeeta Uta (a black cat), JJ (a boy with a clown face and brown hair), and Bonjorino (a monkey with feathers). In addition to her tales of these 3 misfits she LOVES to go into character and dress up. Usually she changes outfits at least 3 times a day and goes through several characters. Here are a few of them:

We had all of Michael's family in town for Ezra's first communion. I was so happy that they could be here to celebrate with him. It was also a SUPER hectic time and sadly these are the only 2 photos I have from it. By the time I got to take the photo below he was just done and could barely muster this fake smile :) All the same he is thrilled to be able to receive communion every Sunday now but said, "I'm never taking the wine again." I absolutely love being Catholic and being in a country where I'm free to worship as I please without the risk of imprisonment or death. </div>

Sunday before they flew back to Louisiana we took a walk down to the creek behind my mom's house to do some fishing. The water is crystal clear so we could see right where to put our bait in. After we were done fishing the kids decided to do some swimming sans swim wear. The water was really cold but it was a beautiful day and we weren't going to waste the moment.

I made NO digital files for this party. The first time that I haven't done my own design work and invites. I just bought some digital files from <a href="http://shop.andersruff.com/camping-birthday-printables?search=camping">Anders Ruff</a> and had them printed at Staples.

It was VERY hard for Libby to stay away from the treats! I chose the least expensive printing option for the backdrop and unfortunately it came out very light. If you look at the digital file it was much brighter so if the color is really important to you I'd say be ready to splurge on printing.<br />

<br />
Below are LOTS of photos. They are a combination of photos taken by me and by my sister and several are out of order because I'm too lazy to get it all organized. After all it's been over a month since our trip and I'm only just now getting around to posting photos.<br />
We both participated in the "fish extender" (FE) family gift exchange. If you're not familiar with FEs then basically each state room has a little metal fish or seahorse next to the door where the crew can hang things from but years ago families started hanging these little linear pouches from the fish and exchange little gifts. Most cruises will have a Facebook page created for them where people can sign up to participate in the exchange and then you are split into groups. Our group had 12 families participating. Some were just couples, some were large families and some were just 1 parent and 1 child. I actually had more adults participating then children in my group. <br />
I purchased our fish extender from an etsy shop.<br />

We wanted connecting veranda state rooms where we could fold back the separator on the veranda to create one large veranda. Also the rooms connected as typical hotel rooms connect. Our state room number was 6570 and I think it was pretty perfect. I would absolutely try to get this room or one close to it again. It was right in the middle of the boat and near to the laundry and elevators without being so close that you could hear the noise coming from them. </div>

When you get your "key to the world" card which is your room key and debit card and getting onto and off of the ship card it will say CLLA or AALC or some combination of those letters. They stand for the restaurant schedule you've been given. We had animators palate twice and Lumieres once and Carrocas (spelling?) once. Lumiere's was my absolute favorite. I would call and try to arrange it so that you eat here twice. When you first get onto the ship if you haven't arranged our restaurant schedule before hand you can quickly go to the service desk and try to get your schedule changed. It's well worth it. </div>

Nassau was our second stop on the cruise. I was sick and couldn't disembark but the kids got to go on a shallow water dolphin excursion with Michael to Atlantis. They LOVED Atlantis and my sister and her family want to go back and stay there. Just FYI to save money I only bought 3 dolphin experience tickets because I thought I'd just watch from the side. Well there is an "observer" fee of $80.00! That is the cheapest way to go to Atlantis and be with your family for most of it. I had already spent nearly $600.00 for the kids and Michael's ticket and I was not about to pay another $80 to do nothing so I just decided to stay on the ship. I wish I could have seen their reactions to the dolphins but I knew my sister was going to be there and she got the digital photo package from Atlantis so we just split the cost which was still $70.00 so honestly I might as well have just gone.</div>

Libby is such a girlie girl that we really wanted her to experience the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. A word of warning: 1. you will want to buy one of the gorgeous princess dresses that they have there. If you have the extra funds then go for it, but if you're trying to be more frugal then just bring a dress from home which is what we did. Libby was still just as happy with her make-over and could have cared less about getting a new dress. 2. The make up they have is not great for brown girls. It is made for kids and they get to keep the makeup and fingernail polish afterwards but it's wax based I guess and barely showed up on Libby's skin. Also though Mary Beth (seen below) was precious it didn't seem like she really knew what to do with Libby's hair. So basically she just put a bunch of bobby pins in it. I am glad that Libby had the experience but I would not do it again.</div>

We flew from DFW to Miami and stayed the night before the cruise left the next day. This was the view from our room. I would recommend flying in a day early to be extra safe. The check in process at the cruise port terminal is chaos. A lot of people said to get there early so you can enjoy the ship. We had the earliest boarding/check in time and it was still mayhem. Line after line after line. Literally a line to get through the front door then a line to get through the second door then a line to check in then a line to get the kids checked in to their kids clubs and get arm bands, then a line to get in line to board the ship. So once we get to go upstairs there's a line for photos, then a line to have your key card scanned to get onto the boat then a line to actually go through security before you get on the boat then lastly a line where they announce your family in the grand atrium then lastly a line to get into the lunch buffet where everyone is sort of shuffled through. Some people say to wait until the last boarding time so most people have already gone through so that you don't have to wait so long. The down side to that is that you're stuck trying to find stuff to do in Miami before you leave. </div>

This is just some of our Fish Extender exchange haul. My favorite gifts were the ones with laundry stuff in them.

The brick will be painted so don't worry we aren't leaving it different colors :) There will be case stone around the windows and a surround on the front door. We'll also have shutters on the lower levels windows. We've got sheetrock in and some trim in plus all the tile is in but I haven't gotten photos of that yet.

So right now we've got the brick for the facade delivered (it will be painted) and they put all of the foam in the walls and on the ceiling in the attic spaces. So hopefully (crossing my fingers) this week we'll have dry wall up inside which will make it feel so much more like a house and then I can get the trim guy over to start the fun part for me which is all the "jewelry" of the house like the lighting/trim.
<br />
<br />
So the exterior with be painted brick with cast stone surrounds on the windows and entry and shutters on all of the bottom windows.<br />

Well we are building a house! Very exciting. Very slow going :( We started meeting with an architect in March and we finally had finalized plans by July then we closed on the construction loan at the end of the month and they started dirt work in early August. Since then we have had trouble getting the subcontractors out because there is a building boom here and the crews are way backed up. There is still more framing to go up and then hopefully we'll see some walls by the end of this week or maybe some roofing. </div>

Ezra's first day of second grade was a success. Since we are building a house he is going to a new school and I have to admit that his mom was pretty nervous about how he would do with the adjustment. Fortunately he handled it like a champ and loves his new school as well as second grade!</div>

This summer we've tried to take the kids on little mini trips when both Michael and I have a day off together (which is very infrequent unfortunately). We decided to check our our first Rangers game. Of course we were ill prepared never having been before. We got tickets to a 1pm game and got seats in the blazing sun. It was SO HOT that Michael bought us an umbrella but didn't realize that half of it was clear! The seats were like molten lava and we went through water like camels in the desert which cost a small fortune. It was still a great experience. The Rangers lost but at least that's something we can check off of our to-do list.</div>

These smiling photos were all taken before she fell onto a cactus and got 100s of little hair like needles in her hands and shoulder. What a helpless moment to be stuck on a hike with no idea what to do or how to help her. Now every time we see cactus on the side of the road she points them out, "Momma look at the casts (her word for cactus)"!</div>

Last weekend I was looking for something for us to do and I remembered that we'd never taken the kids to see the cattle drive down in the Fort Worth Stockyards so we decided to make a day of it. We went to the drive at 11:30 (really hot!) then went to lunch at H3 (yummy) then walked around for a while and explored the stockyards a bit (death by heat stroke) before we had tickets to see the Wild Bill Hickok show (never made it there because Libby was terrified by the fake gun slingers). It was SO HOT that I just ache thinking about it. Luckily we made up for some of the heat issues by visiting a petting zoo there which the kiddos loved.<br />

We also visited Volcano National Park which was surprisingly chilly because of the elevation. Driving around the island would cause your ears to pop because it was so high and the pressure would change. The volcano had erupted 2 weeks prior to our trip but the steam vents are active all the time and we got to walk over a few and let me tell you that it was HOT!</div>

The Kona side of the island is very bleak. There are mainly just lava flows that are very craggy and rocky but the best beaches are also on that side. You just may have to drive off road to get to them.</div>

Overall it was a fantastic trip and I absolutely would go back because the beaches were beautiful and there's so much to do to explore and it's not crazy to fight traffic like you would have in Destin or the typical areas around us here. I still love the Caribbean beaches best but Hawaii is a close second.</div>

Unfortunately the stand-by fairies were not in favor of this idea so we weren't able to fly to D.C but we instead decided to enjoy what we have around us here in DFW.<br />
We took my brother Weston with us and totally by chance he and Ezra were dressed in the same outfit.<br />

We then took them to the new <a href="http://www.klydewarrenpark.org/" target="_blank">Klyde-Warren park</a> in downtown Dallas. Super cool place to take kiddos for free. There was a splash pad and 2 playgrounds with this treehouse. They also have places to sit in the shade with kiosks of books to read and board games to play that you can check out for free.</div>

The park is HUGE with indoor and outdoor portions. The weather was really crummy so we just stayed inside but it was great. I will definitely go back but only when the kids are a bit older and can really swim well. It was nerve wracking with all of the other children running around trying to watch both of them.</div>

It was pretty neat and REALLY hot. There were so many amazing costumes, and all of the metal and leather work was really impressive. Ezra was into all the armor but all of the dressed up ladies were "gross". Although he did ask me to watch the belly dancers :)

Overall it was a good day. Took forever to drive all the way out there but at least it's another thing to cross off the list of family outings.</div>

Since we are building a house we love to go and find new neighborhoods and go into model homes to get ideas. The particular new neighborhood we found this week abutted a HUGE ranch with green pastures as far as the eye can see. As I was driving by I saw all these adorable new baby long horn calves and I really wanted to kids to be able to see them so we stopped and tried our most enticing cow noises to try and lure them over.

None of the other kids had swim clothes on but since we were going down there intentionally to play in the water we were very prepared with towels, etc. and think if I had some extras with me I could have made a pretty penny. So my advice is that if you are going downtown just to walk around bring some towels and maybe some swim clothes with you just in case because it's really hard to resist letting your kids go and run through the water jets. There is also a bathroom right near by that you can change them in on site. </div>

Yikes! I am failing in my photojournalism of my kiddos early years. A lot has been going on with the Burk family lately. Michael is no longer in the Navy and has been flying non-stop for American Airlines. We sold our house in 1 day and closed on it and moved out in 3 weeks! We are now living in a small apartment trying to save some money while our new house is being built. We have finally agreed on a floor plan after MONTHS of back and forth with our architect so at least now it feels like we are getting some forward momentum going. My own job is now sort of in limbo in terms of staying full time or going part time. Ezra played basketball and then soccer and we are currently "sport less" aside from Libby's gymnastics and it's really nice not to have to worry about getting him to/from practice and games.
<br />
<br />
And now onto Disneyland:
So this Spring Break my sister and I wanted to take advantage of the military discounts we get for Disney tickets as well as my free flights with American and we decided to take our kids to Disneyland. It was so wonderful and everything I hoped it would be. I was very sad to leave and with I could go back tomorrow. I always want to stay that the cheapest hotel to save money but my sister is the polar opposite and always wants to splurge for luxury. Since she was paying for the room with her earned Disney points from her business credit card I didn't object when she wanted to stay at the Disney Grand Californian Resort and Spa. I have to say that it was PERFECT! There was a full bed and bunk beds with a trundle in our room, myself and my 2 kids stayed in the bunk beds and my sister and her son slept in the full sized bed. The hotel is centrally located so you never need any transportation. You just walk one way to get to Disneyland and the other to get to Grand California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney. It made it very easy to go back to the room for mid-day naps and showers (a MUST). The lobby was insane and I absolutely would stay there again. As far as Disneyland goes Libby was totally enamored of the princesses and loved meeting all of the characters. I loved the parades the best and I would advise everyone to make sure you schedule time to see each and every one of them. Fantasmic was super scary for small children and I kept apologizing to my screaming/crying/frightened kids every 5 seconds for bringing them to that. Even as an adult that is not something that I'd recommend getting a dinner pass for. World of Color though was wonderful and very appropriate and the kids liked that one much better. We got a dinner pass after eating at Ariel's Grotto and the food there was great. Cars Land is a MUST see at NIGHT! Radiator Springs is all lit up with neon and it's just like in the movie. I absolutely would make sure you at least can take a stroll down the street at night and maybe get a churro at the Cozy Cone.

Because of the popularity of the Frozen "world" they had little kiosks where you can get a buzzer that alerts you when you can go and meet Olaf and play in the snow. We were just walking along and Libby mentioned seeing Olaf and a lady was walking by and just gave us her buzzer b/c her son was too tired to go! So we got in a shorter line then we would have had to get in and were able to just walk right in! I would highly suggest getting the buzzer because we waiting quite a while even with one so I can't imagine if you didn't have it.</div>

YIKES! My life is not my own. As any other mom can relate to. I put ALL of my iphone photos onto my computer to clear up some much needed storage space so I am trying to post some of it out onto the blog since it is my digital scrapbook afterall.<br />
So here's a quick compilation of our 2014 Christmas season. Ezra had Grinch Day at school and this is what we came up with last minute. <br />
The kiddos actually loved the mask and have worn it many times while watching the cartoon movie.<br />

With Michael flying all of the time I had to wait to get a tree until he was home and we were both off. This was literally the LAST 8 ft. tree at Lowes. It was awfully shaped AND this is actually the second attempt at decorating it because the first time it fell right when I was almost finished with all the decorations. I had to take everything off and start over. There were definitely tears and helps to explain why the top is so whack but I couldn't bring myself to do it all over again.</div>

We also were visited by our very loved elf named Zoomer. He got into all kinds of mischief and mayhem. He even was touched by a curious little 3 year old named Libby Rose which sent him to the elf hospital to recover and regain his magic back. Here is one example of the trouble he got himself into. My Lego Ghostbusters apparently thought he was a big bad ghost or something because they felt the need to capture him.</div>

Ezra was sooooooo excited to go back to school! He was like Nemo Monday morning, running in our room saying "First day of school! First day of school!" I can only hope that he continues to have that kind of enthusiasm throughout his life. Luckily this year I managed to remember to make a little sign.
