Again

Well it's another snow day! Well actually ice. We got about 1 inch or so of snow yesterday afternoon but they closed the schools today with concerns about ice. The boys got to stay home with Daddy while I went to work. The roads had their good and bads spots. The worst actual spot was the parking lot at my work. Pulled in and almost slid into the car next to me! eekk! When I got out it was like an ice skating rink under my car! Not good, but I made it in safely. The boys had to go on a sales call with Daddy and then he treated them to lunch at Red Lobster. I know they are enjoying that!! Last night Bry told me I was the best Mommy in the whole world and that Daddy was the awesome-ist Daddy in the whole world! So sweet!!

Got my 4.5 mile run in last night with a 1/2 mile walk aferwards. I felt great!! I'm hoping I feel that good tomorrow for my 7!!

I finally printed our pictures from our Disney cruise last year and added them to my photo album. It was so fun looking at the pictures! We had so much fun!! It made me so excited about our upcoming family Disney cruise in Sept!! It will be us, my in-laws, my mom and Mike's brother and family. We are going on the brand new Disney Dream ship that is having it's first sailing this week! The ship is huge!! It also has a waterslide on it that actually goes out over the ocean and then back to the ship! How cool!! Check out these pics!!

I'm hoping we can get on the ship very early like we did last time. We pretty much had the pool to ourselves! So I'm hoping we can do the same and be some of the first to ride the Aqua Duck!! Yes Granny....you are going down too!! LOL!! This will be the biggest cruise ship we've ever been on!! whoo hoo!!

He have birthday parties both days this weekend so the boys will be busy. The first one is at the Fire Museum. I'm excited, I know the boys will really enjoy it. Don't remember if I said it on here or not, but Dev has been before, I took him when he was about 3 or so, but Bry has never been. Dev still remembers stuff they told him! Wow! Then on Sunday we are back at the favorite bday spot....the jumping place. The boys will be so worn out and it's great! LOL!

They are also predicting possibly more snow Sunday night into Monday. Wow, we usually don't get this much snow. I sure hope it doesn't start adding days to the end of the school year for these days we are missing.

So proud of Dev. He read what I call his first "real" book! He read a 64 page book the other night all in one night! I was so proud of him!! I printed a chart out today for him to put stickers on for every book he reads. When he gets to 10 books he gets a special certificate I printed and when the chart is full he will get a special prize. He is very good at reading but sometimes lacks the motivation to do it. So hoping this might help because I know he can do it.  Bry on the other hand wants to read and does so great! I am amazed at how much he can read and be only in preK!! He also tries to sound out the words that he doesn't know. He is so funny! I printed a special certificate for him too. I am so proud of both of my boys!

Also it's another countdown!! Only 7 weeks till our Disney vacation with our friends from STL!! It's going to be so much fun!! I just can't wait. This will be the longest stay we have ever done in Disney at one time. We will arrive on Sunday and leave the following Saturday. We plan to go to 4 parks while we are there and we get to share it with some great friends!! It's exciting everytime we go because the boys are getting older each time and there are new things to do each visit! I hope it's a little warmer than it was last spring break. It was too cold to swim in the pool last March. Hopefully this year will be warmer and we can enjoy the resort pool too!

Oh yeah, Bry just loves to sing. I think I've mentioned this before. He sings just about anything and loves to sing in the car. I plan to by him the Kidz Bop CD this weekend with songs to sing along.  He made his debut a long time ago!! Check this out!! Love it!! Watch the video! He was 2 yrs old.
