The American Idol Experience

Besides the princess breakfast at Magic Kingdom, Raly's favorite was attending The American Idol Experience shows at Hollywood Studios. She attended three of them and thought each were "totally awesome." She kept saying, "I can't believe this is happening." and "Maybe my friends will see me on TV." It was a pretty cool set up. I have a feeling we will be watching the next season of American Idol.

Pictures in front Magic Kingdom Castle

Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle

Many months ago, Rhett scheduled a special breakfast for Raly in Cinderella's castle. Raly met each princess, took her picture with them, and got their autograph. Needless to say, she relished every minute of it. Great job, Dad!

More Disney!!

Downtown Disney

Spinning Fun!

A "high five" from Chip.

Suddenly, we don't have Raly in the house anymore, just Princess Jasmine!

Disney Round 1 - Magic Kingdom

First Outdoor Ride

Raly got to ride Dee outside for the first time. She really enjoyed it.

Jack

Jack is beginning to MOVE! He's not crawling, but he scoots and rolls all over the place.

Raly's First Sewing Lesson

Grandma gave Raly her first sewing lesson in May. The day started with a trip to JoAnne's (which lasted no less than two hours) to pick out fabric and a pattern for a purse (and dress that Grandma is working on). Raly really enjoyed the experience and loves her new purse.

Memorial Weekend. 2011

Memorial Weekend: Go to Dedra's blog for more pictures.

The new Atwood Pool had their grand opening while we were in Atwood. Rhett helped the kids on the diving board and by the end of the day, Raly and Reese were jumping off the board and swimming to the side all by themselves.

Jack got baptized in Atwood, but I don't have any digital pictures to share.

Preschool Graduation

Preschool graduation seems a little over the top, but it was cute and the kids had fun. Reese is ready to be in Kindergarten.

First Grade Picnic

At the end of the school year, Raly enjoyed her class picnic. These are two of her good friends.

Picture Time!

So, my mom told me that she would not allow me in her house for Memorial Weekend if I didn't bring her a 5x7 picture of Jack. I know it's really terrible, but we just haven't made professional pictures a priority. Anyway, I made an attempt to take a "frame worthy" picture. Reese and Raly each wanted a picture with Jack, too.

Raly's last day as first grader.

It was a sad day for her (and me!). She didn't want it to be her last day with Mrs. Irwin.

Monkey Bars!

Raly loves the monkey bars! At one playground near our house, they have four or five different kinds. It's definitely Raly's favorite playground!

Flag Football

Jack was a great spectator at Reese's football games.

The Packer's lost and Reese wasn't too happy about it!

Reese is a great flag puller and he seems to really "get it." It was fun watching him.

Egg coloring.

Reese got these great magnetic shapes for his birthday and they are a favorite with both kids. Here Raly created a castle and Reese is "pretending" to destroy it.

April

Raly held story time for Jack and Brody. It was too cute. Both boys stayed focused on her for at least 10 minutes. I was amazed!

Easter Picture

Reese loves playing chess! Crazy.

Raly started horse riding lessons this month. Her horse's name is Dee.

Reese

I just love this picture. Reese had so much fun at his birthday party. I highly recommended My Gym for a party.

Out of order, but worth seeing

My last day of work is tomorrow or at least it should be. I just put Jack down for bed and he wasn't feeling well (fussy and low grade fever); not sure what's wrong. He's on antibiotic for an ear infection, so he should be feeling better, not worse!

Anyway, these are pictures from February that I wanted to share.
