Osceola County Fair and Rodeo 2012

The fair and rodeo where this past weekend. The kids get out of school on Friday for "Rodeo Day", they go to the fair during the day and the rodeo that night. It was warm out but drizzled most of the day...the kids still had a great time though. They really enjoyed the rodeo too! I had to sale beer for the Rotary club but still got to watch some of it. I didn't get a lot of pictures this year :(

Harper and Haley

I LOVE Levi's shirt

Happy Valentines Day!

Thanks to Pinterest we made some awesome Valentines! We also made the kids some special hearts for their doors. They were such a hit they'll definitely become a tradition!

The kids loved these so much! Harper and Cooper kept asking me to read them theirs! Cooper told me "every time I walk by my door and see my hearts I smile"

First Beach Trip of 2012

On January 22 we were still enjoying awesome weather. We went to Melbourne and ate at Frankie's (BEST.WINGS.EVER.) with Heather and Robbie and their kids, then we did some shopping and went to the beach for a bit, just to walk around. The kids put their toes in the water and swore it wasn't cold, but I wasn't finding out....We had an awesome weekend!

Miss super cool listening to daddy's headphones in the car

Huge Family Trip to Disney

On January 27th we went to Disney....29 of us went to Disney...I'm sorry Walt...but we had a blast!!! Adam went on Rockin Roller Coaster, and he doesn't like roller coasters, Cooper went on it too, it was his first upside down roller coaster. Harper was super brave and went on Tower of Terror...maybe I traumatized her for life....she was a little upset when she got off to say the least! It was the perfect day for Disney, warm and cloudy and almost no wait for most of the rides. The fireworks were magical as always and the way Cinderella's Castle lights up at night is spectacular! There's more photos on my photo page

Just a few of all the kids

Chasity and Peanut

Baylee and Carissa

In line for Tower of Terror

Chip and Dale and the kids...and Adam

LOVE the castle at night!

it doesn't happen often, so when it does I gotta have proof

After over 12 hours Peanut finally got some ice cream, she was so tired she had to lay down to eat it

Heather, Holly, Shane, Adam and Chad

Trip to St. Petersburg...FL not Russia

Adam was helping out with the church's youth group for TNT, they went to St Petersburg to compete in sporting events and me and the kids tagged along! It was lots of fun, especially the ride to there and back with our kids plus three teenagers! The flag football was fun to watch but I especially enjoyed the girls volleyball....never watched volleyball before but I did enjoy it.

Harper, Chase and Malachi playing great together:

If there's a tree, Cooper will climb it

Doesn't matter where he is or who he's with, Cooper wants his Ducks first thing in the morning

the hotel had free breakfast, after eating Harper showed Malachi and Chase her new Leappad

Look at that sleepy head

Coop found another tree to climb

Look at how handsome Chase is:

Downtown Disney and T-Rex Cafe

On January 14th we had one of our only cold spells of the year, we had made reservations at the T-Rex cafe for that day so we were headed to Downtown Disney. The T-Rex cafe was awesome!!! Expensive, but awesome! After eating we walked around and watched a show until we were so cold we couldn't take it anymore. The crazy tourist were still out in full force and even though the temp was in the low 50's they were playing in the water....CRAZY! Here are some pictures, there's a lot more on the picture page of my blog:
