Disney World-Day 1

The week before graduation we headed to Orlando to meet up with Greg's family and enjoy one last trip to Disney World!

We left early and surprised his family by meeting at them at the church ranch tour.

Brooklyn loved this stuffed alligator they'd killed on the ranch a few years ago.

They took us on a bus ride all around the ranch. We had to stop and wait for a cattle drive to go past us, but Brooklyn loved watching all of the cows with Aunt Nicole.

The next day we headed to Magic Kingdom. Brooklyn was SO excited when we saw the entrance signs.

Getting our tickets! We were all so excited!

Grandma and Brooklyn waiting in line for the Aladdin ride.

The park wasn't very crowded so the lines were all pretty short!

Brooklyn finally got to see Aladdin and Jasmine.

On the way into Pirates of the Carribean we got to see Pirate Goofy as well!

We even managed to talk Zack, Nicole, and Jake into getting a picture with us.

Grabbin some lunch with Uncle Jake.

Dumbo is one of Brooklyn's favorite rides, and she had to ride with Uncle Zack!

While we were waiting for Chip and Dale this little guy landed on our bag and wouldn't move! Finally after about 5 minutes we scared him away.

Brooklyn loved seeing Chip and Dale! They were so cute with her and spent so much time posing and dancing around with her.

After dinner I happened to be outside and saw that the line for Woody was super short! That never happens, so I jumped in line and called Greg to run Brooklyn over. 

She loves Toy Story, so she was pretty excited to finally meet him!

Brooklyn was finally tall enough to go on Splash Mountain with us! She is such an adrenaline junkie, and she had a blast! She loved sitting in the front of the boat and had her little hands in the air the entire time! She also loved the fact that she got soaked!

While everyone else went to a show, Brooklyn and I ran to see the princesses! She was so happy to see Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty.

Little Bostyn was such a good baby all day long. She either slept in the sling, or just sat and looked at everything.

After the Buzz Lightyear ride, Brooklyn ran to get in Zurg's cage so she could get her picture taken.

Before the fireworks we stopped to watch the light parade! No matter how many times I have seen this parade, I still love it every time!

 Brooklyn fell asleep right before the parade started, but woke up pretty fast when it started! She loves Alice in Wonderland and was pretty surprised to see the white rabbit so close to her!

After the parade we watched the fireworks and headed back to the hotel to get ready for the next day!

Florida Life

I have been so terrible at blogging! Once I started packing for the move, blogging pretty much got thrown out the window! So now I get to play catch-up! Here are lots and lots of pictures from before we moved!

Bostyn at 4 months old. She would always suck on her two middle fingers and I thought it was adorable!

Brooklyn and Bostyn look so much alike, it is crazy!

 Movie time! Brooklyn loved to have Bostyn lay by her while she watched a movie. She is always hugging and kissing on her baby sis.

 Bostyn rolled over around 4 months,

 and tried rice cereal for the first time.

 Of course she LOVED it!

 Notice her fingers? She'd always fall asleep like this in her swing.

 Growing up in Florida, Brooklyn has learned to tan in style. What you can't really see in this picture is her strand of paper towels hanging down underneath her, giving her long "Tangled" hair.

 Bostyn definitely takes after her dad and sister and loves her baths.

 Brooklyn got to have one her best buddies Shaef come over and have a sleep over while his mom and dad went to the temple! They had so much fun together.

 For breakfast that morning we whipped up some Mickey and Minnie Mouse pancakes.

 I love having 2 girls that I can put in matching dresses!

 On Sunday's we would often drive to the beach and walk around, we sure do miss this!

 A week or so after cereal we tried out the carrots. She was not a fan.

 Greg on his Last, LAST day of school forever! How did 3 years go by so stinking fast??

Bostyn and her new piggy bank Brooklyn picked out for her. Brooklyn kept sitting it by her piggy bank and said "Welcome to our family, this is your sister." It was pretty cute. 

 Love them!

 Headed to the beach!

 We had to get in a few last beach trips before we moved! Brooklyn and Miley always have so much fun together!

 All smiles at the beach.

 Brooklyn and Shaef got busy making a sand castle...and then they destroyed it right after I snapped the picture.

 Before school got out we made another trip to the beach and had a BBQ with most of our law school friends.

 I couldn't resist taking a pic of cute Miley. She was so funny trying to get her bathing suit un-stuck.

 Our good friends the Mengs

I have made some of the best friends I could ever ask for these last 3 years

 I sure do miss all these girls!

 The guys at the beach.  A few of them were missing thanks to a bazillion finals they all had!

 The kids had a blast

 Little Shaefer is quite the ladies man. We had such a fun day at the beach with everyone. It seriously is the best way to end a semester!

 Brooklyn is growing up so fast! All of the sudden she outgrew her tricycle and was ready for a big kid bike! We just so happened to be at K-Mart one day and scored this bike on clearance for $39! She was so excited to go on a bike ride with dad.

 Bostyn at 4 1/2 months old! She is so smiley and always happy!
