What happens when I fall asleep on the job. 

We were having a rough day. Jacob needed a nap badly. He was fighting sleep. I decided to lay down with him. He kept wiggling and asking what I was doing. I pretended to sleep. 

Then I woke up, and he was quiet. “Finally!” I thought, assuming I had been asleep only a moment and he was sleeping next to me. 

He was gone. 

“Jacob?” I called out, and he came running. Stark naked except for a gnome hat. He had several colors for me to choose from. and also he did this to his room:

The beach!

When you have summer weather all winter, you just need to give in and enjoy. 





Jacob caught “a fousand” waves. 🙂

the last Disney day

Well, our Disneuy days have come to an end. We were so fortunate to have been able to go for two years, and I feel like Jacob and I have made so many great memories. We have had so many fun moments together. Say what you will about the Magic Kingdom, but it has been truly magical through the eyes of a child. 

We went with Lisa and Cassidy, but Lisa has the cute photos of the kids–I’ll have to get those from her. Midway Mania (a Toy Story-themed ride) is still relatively new and usually has a long line. It’s very fun and different; you play virtual carnival games in a fun, 3D environment. The line was only 15 minutes so we got to enjoy!

I decided it was a good day for an ice cream. I asked how much it would be to add whipped cream and a cherry (this boy loves cherries!) and they said it was complimentary. Jacob was so excited that he was jumping up and down and smiling ear to ear. The cast members were chuckling at his enthusiasm. Little did we know they would give him a ton of whipped cream, FIVE cherries, and a cup of sprinkles to decorate the ice cream himself. It was a perfect way to end our run. these pictures do not do his happiness justice. 







watching Fantasmic. we will miss these days and nights…

Jacob’s beloved dinosaur bank from Auntie TJ, uncle Jeff, Nikiel, and Kevan broke. It was really heavy…oh how he cried! Poor guy.
