July - you exhaust me!

OK so summer went into hyper drive when it came to July!

Let me recap...

The first Friday found me, La-La, RTC & his buddy BB at Andy Alligator's to celebrate the boys' straight A's!


A fun time was had by all!!









On July 4th while visiting Mimi & Grandpa,
La lost her first tooth!!!
Then the kids went to Kansas for their week with Aunt P & Grammie. They were treated to seeing the DCI competition, their 3rd year! Their favorite corps is the Blue Devils from Concord, CA. They found out where the corps practiced and they watched them there too! This netted RTC a pair of drumsticks & La a lanyard! They were so excited! At the competition, the  Blue Devils won so their experience was complete!




We planned one final surprise for the kids this summer and we were able to pull it off! Back in April we decided to take the kids to Walt DisneyWorld and we didn't tell them until the day before! I was able to not say a word, to them, about it for over 60 days! That's amazing for me because I love DisneyWorld!!!!!!  Anyway...I am so grateful we were able to go and enjoy it as a family this time. We stayed at the Boardwalk Villas because we could walk into Epcot & Hollywood Studios and I highly recommend it!!! Seeing their faces so bright and cheerful, being kind to one another, and all the other stuff that goes along with Disney magic was priceless.  I'll try not to go overboard with photos, but...

Yep! Matching shirts for traveling!


Downtown Disney our first night. Tired from traveling but I think they were getting into it!



On the way to Magic Kingdom!

Could he be any cooler?

First thing we did was ride the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! 



























Other than Space Mountain being closed 
it was a great 1st day!


Our second day! After a Princess breakfast
of course!



Hollywood Studios - family favorite!

Just so fun!!!!



I promise - this was this boy's favorite ride of our trip!





Look who they found!
I have soooo many more - but I'll stop.

for now....
