First Trip to Disney World!

James enjoyed Walt Disney World for the first time this weekend. We were celebrating Teri's (Tobias' youngest sister) high school graduation and 19th birthday.

My friend, Marissa, did all the hard planning so the trip was stress free. Another Navy wife, Tory also joined us on the trip and the 5 of us had a wonderful time.
We left early Saturday morning for Orlando and were at Magic Kingdom by 930. We had a blast even though we had to put on our ponchos due to a couple of nasty thunder storms. James is in the stroller posing with Marissa, Teri, and Tory.
While at Magic Kingdom James did his first ride ever - the Haunted Mansion. Here we are waiting in line.

He didn't really seem too impressed with that ride, but he absolutely loved It's a Small World. You can tell by his expression that he is loving the display in this picture with Marissa.
Aunt Teri even took him on his first carousel ride. I think he enjoyed that a lot too!

Sunday we went to my favorite Disney park, Animal Kingdom and had a blast. James even got to meet Minnie Mouse.
Monday we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios, formerly MGM. It was so much fun! James was even lucky enough to go on the newest ride there - the Toy Story ride.

Overall, I'd say James had a great time!!

Adorable pics! What a lucky baby - only 6 1/2 months and he's already "done" Disney World! Love the "My First Mickey Hat" pic!

Fast as the Flash

The boys have a need for speed!  Recently James and Eli built Pine Wood derby cars to compete in the James' Boy Scout troop. In the beginning... We did some scholarly research to prepare.  Thank you YouTube! My step-dad, AKA Pawpaw was a big help and taught James to use power tools. Sanding is always fun! James designed and built his car with minimal assistance. Spray paint is always fun. Added weights to make it as heavy as the rules allowed. The finished products! The race was a lot of fun! James didn't win but he worked really hard and was really proud of his car. While his derby car wasn't the fastest, James was the fastest in a recent track race.  My future Olympic sprinter!   Zoom zoom zoom

M-I-C-K-E-Y and a bunch of other fun stuff

Everyone grab their Mickey Ears!  We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Walt Disney World.  We flew down to FL from MA, my sister and her beautiful family and my aunt and cousin all flew from CA, and my mom traveled from MO!   All 11 of us stayed in one beautiful villa right on the Walt Disney property and had a great time. We celebrated JillMama's 60th birthday in style.   We also celebrated my nephew's 2nd birthday while in WDW! Everyone had a great time! We celebrated Halloween a little early at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!   Can you tell we're the Avengers!?!  Eli was the Incredible Hulk, Tobias was Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man), James was Captain America, and I was Black Widow. By the end of the night, the Incredible Hulk was done, but still really cute! Gabe (age 4) and James got along great! Elias and Gavin (also 2) were fast friends too. Fun times on a ride with my little man! Rrrr Matey!  ...

Winter in Boston

Happy February!  I can't believe I haven't updated since November when we've had such an exciting couple of months!   Our Lego family for Christmas 2014 designed by James!  There are a lot of firsts and developmental milestones in first grade!  James finished his first chapter book over the Christmas break!  So proud of him - he is reading above grade level. James also remains very active with track and is working with his gym teacher to start a running club at his elementary school! This was a fun assignment for the entire family.  Once he completed the assignment, James presented it to his class. We did family Christmas pictures this year with a great photographer.  We met at Minute Man National Park - where Paul Revere was captured- and had fun taking pictures together.  I worked the night before and it was cold out, but the pictures still turned out great! The 2014 Walters Family Christmas picture! My two cuti...
