Epcot

Last week we took the boys to stay in Orlando for 4 days and had a Disney extravaganza! We have annual passes and we've been taking full advantage of them! We went to Disney every.single.day and night, but unfortunately, it rained... actually it monsooned everyday, so I was only able to take pics on the very last day at Epcot.

Joey and Nemo

Joey recovering from a black eye. :( We think he is allergic to mosquitoes (Joe says they are the state bird here) and he swells up really bad whenever he's bitten. This lovely mosquito decided to bite him right by his eye, which in turn swelled up and turned black and blue. This was about 5 days after the bite!



This is the cutest little exhibit that teaches kids how to save up money to buy something they want. Joey's holding his little piggy bank, which is actually a little computer!

Happy Joey!

Cousin Michele and I sitting outside Epcot's best kept secret... the free soda!!

Poor Joey thought he was so clever avoiding the water until it shot him right in the face!

Joe and I in "Italy".

This is the perfect example of Cameron and Joey's relationship. This is it. Right here. Cameron being crazy, Joey screaming his head off!

Party of 3

This Summer I decided I would keep the boys out of camps and programs and try to do as much as I can with them while they still want to be seen with me. Well, mostly Cameron. Joey still thinks I'm pretty cool. :) I've been able to work 3 days a week and spend the rest of the time with them. This means taking them places (gulp) all by myself. This seemed pretty daunting at first since Joey could win awards for his epic meltdowns, but we've managed to have a pretty good time.

I've taken them mini-golfing a couple times and even though Joey is a serious cheater, Cameron usually manages to win.

Joey does not take any direction on how to stand. This is how he wants to do it and so he shall!




A rare moment of not punching each other or screaming. :)

I took the boys to Busch Gardens by myself, which is by far the most adventurous thing I've done without the backup of Daddy. The boys were actually pretty good and Joey especially loved Sesame Street.

This is the cutest little flume ride. Joey was a little nervous about going alone so Cameron went with him.

Train ride!

I'm pretty sure that's not what that is used for!

My boys. :)

It's been a LONG while!

It's been quite some time since I put up any new pictures. We've been so busy lately and I've been really bad about bringing my camera along, but I do have some cute pics to share.

In April we took the boys to a blueberry festival where they opened the fields for picking. I wasn't sure how Joey would do out in the heat or if he would be interested in picking blueberries at all, but this kid picked like it was his job!

He was so cute out there picking his "blues"!

That's a lot of blueberries for a little guy!




Heavy!

Joe took the boys over to get some shaved ice. It was really hot out that day!

Cameron had a blast!

Me and Cameron

Pretty blueberries!

In the end we picked over 10lbs. of blueberries! I made preserves, jam, blueberry pancakes, smoothies... you name it and I still have a couple pounds frozen. We'll definitely go again next year!
