Turkey Cheers

OK, I am way behind in my blogging, but I just had to put up this photo of Derrick toasting his friend Adam with a turkey leg.  They were celebrating Adam's recent promotion and spent the evening at Epcot with beer and turkey legs.  

Broke

While at Animal Kingdom on Monday, I bought Alex a mickey mouse ice cream.  I bought myself a mickey shaped ice cream sandwich which I thought I would share with Logan.  So I broke off the ear and handed it to Logan.  He handed it back to me and cried pitifully "broke".  Needless to say he also ended up with his own mickey ice cream.  

P.S. Check out my tiger pic.

Animal Kingdom

Wow, this weekend was sooo busy.  Derrick had Monday and Tuesday off so that was our weekend.  Monday we went to Animal Kingdom in the day and Epcot at night. The kids had a blast!  We played in the Dinosaur Playground, rode a dinosaur ride, ate mickey ice cream and saw tigers in Asia.  Here are some of our fun pics.  Stay tuned for more of our crazy weekend.

happy June 1st

Happy June 1st everyone.  I guess summer is officially here.  Our family is having a great beginning to our summer.  Derrick has fenced in our backyard, we have some patio furniture and a new grill (thanks to Derrick's dad - yeah papaw).  So the kids have been playing like crazy out there and we have been grilling like crazy.  Derrick has become quite the grill master!  I have even borrowed an ice cream maker and made homemade frozen lemonade and ice cream.  I cant tell you how much I'm loving the freedom of a fenced backyard.  On another note, this weekend was slam packed.  We spent Friday at Memaw and Papaw's (for those of you who don't know that is Derrick's parents) where we -you guessed it - grilled out.  We have also been playing on their new Wii game system.  Alex loves golf and bowling on it and he is actually good at it.  I have picts of Alex playing Wii golf and Logan using the tv remote thinking that he is playing.  How cute is that?!  Alex has also mastered the mouse on the computer and loves playing games with Thomas the tank engine on Memaws laptop.  My little computer nerd with his serious expression.  I hope you guys are enjoying your summer as much as we are!

For a laugh:  While getting ready for church this morning, Alex came into the kitchen carring a piece of toilet paper.  He had just came from where Derrick was using the potty and he asked so seriously "Mommy can you go wipe my daddy?''
