Colton's first Walt Disney World trip!

Yes, I know....we might seem crazy! We took Colton (11 weeks), Brandt (almost 2), and Kenzie (8) to Disney World for 4 nights last week. They were actually great! Colton was a little high-stress just in all the "stuff" we needed to have with us, but other than that....he was a totally chill little guy and completely "went with the flow" the entire time. Brandt, on the other hand, was a little handful. He is definitely in his "terrible two's" - wanting to charge off and do everything his sister does, but does not comprehend any explanation as to why he can't do something. He sure did enjoy the rides so much more though - there was a lot of finger pointing and "ooh's" and "ahh's" coming from him. Kenzie, of course, had an AWESOME time as usual....she's our fearless roller coaster queen. She and I enjoyed some quality time together one night when Epcot was open late and Jason took the boys back to the room. This was my first time to not be pregnant at WDW in a few years, so I was definitely enjoying having my energy back there! I also enjoyed being able to have a margarita. :-) We had a great trip and took some cute pictures, and we think we'll go back in November 2012 when Colton's 2, Brandt will be almost 4, and Kenzie will be 10. As long as Brandt has outgrown his crying on the plane stage.....last night's flight was miserable. Of course, at that point, it will be Colton in that stage. Lucky us!

We just enjoyed a nice visit with Jason's mom, who the kids call "Grandmary". She came to visit for a long weekend and see Colton for the first time. Her husband Dorsey requires a lot of assistance, so she doesn't make it up here often. It was nice to spend time with her and watch her enjoy the kiddos.

We also are putting our house back up on the market soon. We just rented a storage unit and moved a bunch of stuff out of the house to "de-clutter" it, and we're hoping to sell it and move by end of summer so Kenzie can start at her new elementary in Littleton. We officially joined the country club there, so we're truly committed to moving to that area. Now we just need to make it happen!

Not much else going on around here - just getting through life with 3 kids now! It's been a definite change, but I'm enjoying it, and so thankful that they're pretty easy kids. I have to keep reminding myself to enjoy these stages, although sometimes difficult, because we'll never have them at this age again.
