Braden...Flag Football

Braden is playing his 2nd year of Flag Football!! He is having a really good time and says he is so good because he went to football camp this summer!! Here are a few pics from the first 2 games. The lighting was terrible at the second game, but hopefully you can enjoy them anyway.

Our mean player!

OSU Game....As A Family!!

We were able to go to the OSU vs. Rice game yesterday as a family!! The kids had a great time! Some friends of ours had tickets as well, so all 9 of us headed over to Stillwater and enjoyed some great COWBOY time! We got there a lil early so the kids could enjoy the pre-game festivities. We even managed to catch up with some college friends this week!! We are having a blast this year w/ our season tickets and absolutely LOVE that the kids are enjoying it also! And we are VERY amazed at how well they do at the game. Last week, Kaylee had a birthday party so Dale took Braden and he had a BLAST and learned all the chants and hand movements. So he spent all week teaching them to his sister and they had a great time cheering on their Cowboys!!

Braden, Kaylee and Thad getting ready for "The Walk" from the Student Union to the field

Kaylee was a lil more into posing right now!

Pistol Pete!!

We went down and visited Jessie and Shane and here pulled in Bullet!! Braden was totally beside himself!! He whispered to me "Do you think he knows he is famous?"

They ran us through there very quickly, but we got our pic w/ him!!

Mommy and her lil boy!! He couldn't smile cuz then you could not see his tattoo!!

Our whole family loving our COWBOYS!!

Once Kaylee finally got used to her surroundings, she really got into the game!!

OSU Game Day!!

Yesterday was the season opener for our OSU Cowboys!! This year Dale talked me into season tickets. We had a great time yesterday, and even though they scared us a lil at first, they came out with a win! We are looking forward to spending some Saturdays in Stillwater, meeting up with old college buddies and even looking forward to taking the kids to a few games and instilling that love of the Cowboys into them even deeper!!

We are ready to cheer on our POKES!!

The view from our seats

I have to admit, I love watching the cheerleaders!!

Had to get this pic for Braden...Dez Bryant is his fav!

Here's Bullet!!!

Final Day @ Disney.....

We were very sad to see our trip to come to an end!! We ate breakfast at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resort at the Cape May Cafe. It was the last character meal of our trip. :( From there we let the kids decide which park they wanted to go back to and ride some of their favs just one more time. They chose Epcot since it had been a while since we had rode Soarin and Test Trac. So we hopped on the ferry and away we went. We managed to use all the different forms of transportation available at some point in our trip. After some time there we went back to our resort for lunch and hung out there while we waited for our shuttle to the airport. We were very exhausted, but very sad to have to leave. It was a VERY memorable trip and one that we would love to be able to do again in the future. I hope you have enjoyed the pics half as much as we enjoyed being able to take them!!

The theme for this meal was beach!

High five from Donald!

They thought Goofy was so funny in his life jacket!

Riding the ferry boat

Our resort was a vacation in itself. The following are a few of the amazingly huge things that we got to look at every day!

And we are DONE!

This was pretty much our view for the entire trip home!!

Day 7....Last Full Day

On our 7th day we were able to meet up with Joey and Christi again. We had breakfast with them at their resort, the Polynesian. The kids had a great time and Braden and Luke really hit it off great again. From there we all spent a few hours together at Hollywood Studios. We had a great visit with them, it was great catching up and giving the kids someone to play with. Since we had already been there once, we took part of the afternoon and went back over to Downtown Disney for a while. We then headed back over to Hollywood Studios for dinner and a few more rides then were able to enjoy the fabulous Fantasmic show. Braden we dying to ride the Tower of Terror so him and I ventured there and he absolutely LOVED it!! Then we finally got Dale and Kaylee on something that the height requirement was more than 42".....the Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster. It was by far the best roller coaster I have ever been on and they LOVED it!

Kaylee and Jolea with Stitch

Braden and Luke too!

and Mickey too!We let the kids enjoy some games at Pizza Planet. Kaylee and Breanna rode a virtual roller coaster!

The Lego store at Downtown Disney was amazing! This huge robot is made completely out of Legos!

Uh Oh!! Looks scary!!

Still smiling on the last night

Nightly present from housekeeping!

Each of the kids had some of their own money to spend and this is part of what he picked out!

Day 6....Back to Magic Kingdom

We started day 6 with breakfast at Chef Mickey's. It was a good breakfast but I think we were all a lil too exhausted to enjoy it to the fullest!! We went from there to Magic Kingdom for another day. Oh, and they finally got to ride the Monorail!!! We enjoyed a more relaxing day there catching the things we missed the first day. There favorite ride this time was Splash Mountain!! We then went and ate dinner at the Cinderella's Happily Ever After Dinner at 1900 Park Fare. We were very sad to say good-bye to Magic Kingdom!!

Goofy @ Chef Mickeys

And the famous Chef Mickey!!

Braden got to see Donald one last time!!

And we always love to see Minnie!

Mr. Poser!

They LOVED Pinocchio!

Mary Poppins told them to be sure and mind their manners. When we left her Braden said "who is Mary Poppins?"

Wendy and Peter Pan.....Braden was SO excited we got to see them! They kept telling Kaylee her bows were really hair ornaments and were so sad for Braden that he did not have any!

A Dream Come True Celebrate Parade

Braden took his job as "driver for the Princess" very seriously!!

The step-sisters were hilarious!! She was telling Kaylee "you think you are as pretty as Cinderella don't you....don't you know I am the prettiest girl around....look at you with your bows...just disgusting!"

But she still posed for a pic!

And we finally got to see Prince Charming!
