Disney Vacation

We were very fortunate to be able to sail away on the Disney Fantasy for 7 nights. We were accompanied by Jake's entire family but it was great. It was like our little family vacation and they were there too. All I can say AMAZING!!! The service was incredible from our host to servers at dinner to the Oceaneers club (ages 3-11 for kids). It was beyond what I expected. We visited four ports as well (Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Castaway Cay), where we enjoyed excursions such as: a sea turtle encouter, dolphin encounter, an underground river in Xcaret, and cabanas at Castaway Cay. Such a fun time.







































































































































Happy 3rd birthday!!!!

Christopher celebrated his third birthday last week but I was unable to post that day because we were on a cruise. His third birthday was spent swimming with dolphins in Costa Maya but I'm sure this is not something he will remember. Here are a few facts about our sweet three hear old. He weighs exactly 31 pounds and 3 ft tall. He's in the 10-25th percentile for height and weight. He loves Mickey Mouse. His favorite food is French fries. He also likes pizza a lot. Christopher is a little whiney, it's obvious he is the baby of the family. He loves to cuddle and gives the sweetest kisses because he grabs your face and pulls it in to his. Christopher enjoys swimming too. We love you Chris and are glad that you complete our family!!!!

Time at Nana's and Papa's



Recently, we got back from cruising the Caribbean on a Disney cruise, more details to come later, but Ginny wanted to spend a few days in Jackson, so we let her. She is having a blast!  She has made bacon out of a pig they killed and learned to cut the yard. Papa said she enjoyed cutting the yard and didn't want to stop. She practiced singing as she mowed.

Summer is off to a good start


Elle slept over and we enjoyed the pool. Then Sydney slept over when they got back in town. We love having cousins here. 
Summer is off to a good start in the Farrell household. We have enjoyed sleepovers with cousins and are now anxiously awaiting for the Disney Cruise on the Fantasy here in a few hours. The kids are way excited. We drove 14 hours after I got off work Wednesday night and arrived Thursday evening to get settled. Then Friday (today), we spent the day with Grammy and papa and cousins too. We went to an alligator farm and took an airboat ride. Here's to the start of a fun packed summer!!!
The girls were do happy to see cousins from Texas and all are looking forward to seeing more cousins tomorrow. 
Enjoying the air boat ride. Loads of fun; we saw alligator in their natural habitat.
Next we enjoyed holding or in Jacob Williams case, wrestling more gators.
Everyone was a little brave....even Ginny (with Natalie's support), Papa, and Grammy.

   But we had to get a tiny one for our        tiny one.....go Christopher go!
