Look Who's Turning 6 (tomorrow)!

M-I-C-K-E-Y

We just got home from a wonderful fall break, birthday-celebrating trip to Walt Disney World.  We went to celebrate Will's upcoming 6th birthday and Walker's upcoming 3rd birthday.  Both boys got sick on the trip but that didn't slow any of us down and it didn't stop the fun!  Here are a few (okay a bunch) of pictures from our trip.  I took tons of pictures and narrowed down to a few highlights.

Family picture

I don't think Walker had ever seen Stitch before.  He was the first character we saw at Epcot and quickly became Walker's favorite.  Here are the boys at O'Hana's (our favorite)!

Picture with Mickey Mouse

My sweet boys!

Walker just HAD to have this set of Mickey ears.  He tried on practically every pair there and I had to give in because that was the only pair he wanted.

Walker's favorite ride - Dumbo.  We got to ride Dumbo late one evening just as the fireworks show began over the castle.  We had the best view!

We were lucky enough to get to follow to Florida, and then meet up with some friends of ours from Church, who were visiting at the same time.  Here are the kiddos - Juliaha, Walker, Lucas & Will getting ready to go see It's Tough to Be a Bug.

The highlight of Will's trip - the Jedi training.  15 kids were chosen to train with a Jedi Master and then they got to fight Darth Vader.  Look how serious Will is!  He loved it!!!  (And so did I - he looked so cute!)

We stayed at Disney's All Star Movies.  Here are Will & Walker with Buzz Lightyear.

Two sad boys who didn't want to leave.

I want to ride on a fire truck!!!!

 Fire Truck! by Ivan Ulz is one of Walker's favorite songs/books.  They sing it quite frequently at the Little Learning Center.  My goal is to get Walker on video singing it because it is hilarious to hear him it with his cute little country-as-they-come accent.  "Fire truck, Fire truck, I wanna ride on a fire truck, sleep in a fire station...."  Anyways....today was the St. Jude Trike-a-thon at the LLC.  The theme this year was medical related (drs, lab techs, etc).  Walker wanted to be a fireman and decorate his bicycle like a firetruck (surprise!).  We went with the emergency response approach and just look at how adorable he was!  



Will prepping Walker this morning.  Will has been in the Trike-a-thon for the past two years, so Walker was excited that it was his turn.



How sweet!  Daddy did a great job making a tricycle into a fire truck!

Isn't he the cutest little fireman you've ever seen?!

Nana went and took lots of pictures for us.  I was so sad that I had to miss it this year.  Here is Walker leading the way, with Alexa not far behind.

Crash!  Everyone was okay...those turns are really tricky!

Walker wearing his medal.  We've gathered from what he said that the medal was for the best decorated tricycle.  At least that's what Walker said, "the prettiest". 

The Boys of Fall

Will's first youth league flag football game was tonight and the boys did great!  Although we didn't keep score, I believe our boys scored 3 times compared to the other teams 1 touchdown.  Yay! 

Walker cheering on his big brother and Daddy helping coach.

Look at that great defense by #7

Go Will!

Football Season

Visit to Nana & Papa's

This is the sight of the boys before they leave Papa & Nana's house everytime.  Just as we get ready to leave Nana announces that the fish need to be fed, and I have two overly enthusiastic volunteers.  It always starts out as both boys having WAY too much food, which I'm sure the fish enjoy.  Then the boys have to touch the fish, and it always ends with one of them trying to catch the fish (which I'm sure the fish do not enjoy).  Poor things!  I can guess which one of my boys will be the one to end up inside the pond.  I can't believe one of them hasn't yet.
