Disney World

We took a road trip down to Disney World last week. Above is a picture of someone having a little too much fun at Disney World. Let me explain. He picked out the adult-sized Cars-themed Mickey Mouse ears himself. On the back of his shoulder, you will see something white - this is one of the many Mickey Mouse stickers that he got for free from the workers at Magic Kingdom. And now for the best part - it got hot in the afternoon, and Cass was wearing jeans. So, while I was in the Baby Care Center feeding Celena, Daddy and Cass went on a mission to buy Cass some shorts. Apparently, for only $3 more than the cost of a pair of shorts, you can purchase a whole pajama outfit. Yes, that is right. My husband thought he was getting a deal and bought Cass PJ's, and put him in the PJ shorts while at Magic Kingdom. How hilarious is that??!! In the picture above, he is riding the train. Happy as can be in his whole get-up. I can't wait until he's 16 and I can show him this picture. :) I have included more pictures from our trip in a slideshow at the upper left corner of the blog page - click on the pictures and you can see them better.

Afternoon at the lake

Spring is finally here! It was a beautiful day on Saturday - temperatures in the upper 70's and sunny. We took the kids to a park at the lake - Cass had fun throwing rocks into the water. He was having so much fun and was constantly moving, I was lucky to be able just to get this picture of him! On Sunday morning, I asked what he wanted to do, and he said "play", and I asked him what he wanted to play and he said "throw rocks in water". So I guess he had a good time Saturday!

Here's our little girl and her Daddy. Happy as usual! :)

Here she is again. She stays still much more than Cass, which is why the majority of pictures lately tend to be of her. I need to take more profile pictures of her so you can see her cute little nose. Yes, that is right - believe it or not, I have a daughter with a cute nose (you all have seen MY nose - ha!). This picture doesn't show it that well, but she has a little turned-up nose.

Teething

As I mentioned in my last post, Celena's first tooth is coming in! She loves this little teether - I think she would chew on this 24 hours per day if she could!

St Patrick's Day

Two years ago, here was baby Cass in his "My 1st St. Patrick's Day" outfit. It's amazing how much he has changed since then.

And here's a picture from today, with Celena in her 1st St Patrick's Day outfit. You can't see it in the picture, but she is getting her first tooth! It doesn't seem to dampen her mood though, she is still happy as can be. I think it's fun to compare the kids at about the same time in their lives (Cass was just a month younger then Celena was on St Patrick's Day when the picture above was taken) - I think you can tell they are siblings, but they each have their own look. One of them really looks like Daddy . . .

Happy Valentines Day

Here's our little sweetie on her first Valentine's Day!

How hilarious is this!!! Here she is chillin' out! :) Thanks for the adorable outfit and sunglasses Great Aunt Linda and Uncle Al!!

Frosty

We got MORE snow Friday night! We knew it wouldn't last long, so Chris hurried outside Saturday morning and made a snowman family. Unfortunately, the snow melted quickly so by the time we got outside in the afternoon to take pictures, one was headless and the others looked kind of pathetic. But, we took pictures anyway. In case you can't tell, in the picture above, from left to right is Cass, Chris (minus his head), me, and Celena. And a grumpy "real" Cass standing in front not wanting his picture taken.

We don't normally dress Cass this way, but he wanted to wear his pajamas to take his nap, and once he got up I panicked when I saw the snow melting so quickly, so we stuck him in his boots and threw on his coat and ran outside.

Cass cheered up enough to take a picture kissing the snowman version of himself. Brrr!!!!

I have been really busy with work lately and have fallen behind on posting to the blog. We have been getting quite a bit of snow recently - usually it only snows here once a year, but we've had a few bouts of snow this winter.

Here is a picture from last year - we remember Cass being kind of stunned by the snow. He just held that little snowball and stood completely still, not really understanding what is going on.


And, here he is a year later . . . he figured out what to do with those snowballs!! (And yes, it's the same coat - we bought it big last year so it still fits this year! Yay!!)
