It has been a while!

Man! Postings are getting fewer and fewer as life kinda routinely goes along. We are back in full swing of things! Kindle is in gymnastics and dance (tap and ballet), and goes to mother's day out T/Th's, but she mostly enjoys playing with her best friend Marisa down the street:) Carson is doing great in Kindergarten and is now on a 1st grade reading level (never thought I would say that-reading is NOT his favorite thing...he IS my son!), and he is signed up for spring baseball starting in a few weeks! I am still training 2 teams and trying to keep our house 'show worthy' since it is on the market! I am in CBS, and most of all I love being a mom! Kit loves his job still, and is working over time since the recent addition to his job responsibilities!! Today was a slow day-yay!!! 1 dentist appointment for Carson, and then it started to snow!!!!! I decided, like a good mom, not to take him back to school at 12:00, but to take him out to lunch with Kit, a little shopping, and then relax with some hot chocolate and some fresh falling SNOW!!!! Last year when I was so giddy about it snowing it was seriously the first time it had snowed here since we moved from Waco 8 years ago. So what a treat today to have it snow AGAIN!!!!! I would love to live in CO if I had any reason to! OK. Sorry for all the exclamations here are some fun pics:




Carson setting up his snow ball stash for Kit when he gets home.


Practice throw!




Kindle decided to abandon her 'I don't want to get my pretty dress in the snow' attitude, and decided to join the fun;) She had to still wear her dress shoes though! ugg.

target in sight...


steady...steady...


FIRE!


Don't show the secret stash! he has a lot to learn...
















It is 8:00pm and has been snowing since about 12:45, so hopefully more in the morning! We get to sleep in-school starts at 10:00. I personally think it should start at that time everyday;)

Disney

We went to Florida for my cousin's wedding, and were able to take the kids to Disney! We only went for one day to Magic Kingdom, but we made it through most of the park. It was such an awesome day, I can't believe my kids are old enough to BOTH love going! They are so much fun now-a-days!!! Here we are:




The day started out cold, so we all had 2 layers on. Kindle's skirt counted as 3.





Heading out for a fun day!


So sweet, she wanted to wear her skirt and 'beautiful' Mickey ears!


Can't believe we are here!!


Oh, sweet Kindle LOVED the show!


It really is a beautiful place:)








Carson was so worn out after a flight, rental car, hotel in same bed as Kindle, junk food and 5 miles of walking, he finally asked us about 3 o'clock in the afternoon if we could leave! Being the good mom that I am, took the receipt (to get into Disney) out of my pocket... looked at it... and told him 'NOPE! you still got 3 more hours-man up'. HA! poor kid.




Oh, this is totally Kindle! She loved meeting Ariel.


Got to do the tea cups!





fun cars!


It was a great trip! The kids loved the airplane, and all the excitement! They got to meet my Grandmother on my mom's side for the first time! We stayed with GG for a night, and played on an awesome playground at her house, went to my cousin Jimmy's beautiful wedding, and and flew back home all without any drama that normally accompanies youngsters! SUCCESS!!! Unfortunately we only had our video camera at the wedding, so I don't have any good still shots from there. But MAN! Carson loves to get down on the dance floor! I'll leave you with that suspense:)
