The Sims Family

Disney World

2008-07-04T06:35:00.000-07:00

In March 2008 we were able to go to Disney World with our family, Eric's parents, and his sister Heather. A GREAT time was had by all. We went to Magic Kingdom, MGM (which is now Hollywood Studios, I was a little confused), and Animal Kingdom. The boys were great and we were able to be at each park for several hours over a 3 day period. The boys got to meet several characters and our first morning there we went to a character breakfast and the boys got to meet Goofy and Pluto. They went right to them, which surprised us some that they were not afraid of them at all. They also got to meet Captain Hook, Dr. Sneed, The Power Rangers, and various other characters. Sea World was also fun, but no pictures due to the digital camera
battery not charging correctly...oh well, we have plenty from Disney.

Fun In The Sun!

Since coming back from Ohio, the boys love playing in the sprinkler. We enjoyed the day on Saturday, playing in the spinkler and going swimming.

We went to Ohio to celebrate Sarah graduating from high school. My how time flyes. While we were there, we also celebrated Corson's birthday with the family. Lindsay and Hailey were also able to come in. Corson got lots of Star Wars guys and he also got his first bike from grammy and pappy. I don't know who was more excited about the bike, Corson or Braden.

Corson opening presents.

Corson as a Storm Trooper.

I can't believe that it has been 4 years already! We did our own party as a family the night before his birthday, then we had a party on his birthday and invited several of his friends from church and a new friend named Cole, who he met at preschool this past year. The theme jumped back and forth between Storm Troopers and Spider-man in the Black Suit. Finally, Corson came to the decision to have a Spider-man party. I went out on a limb and made him a Spider-man cake, and luckily he wanted it to be Spider-man in the black suit which made decorating the cake a little easier. Great time was had by all and we are so lucky to have such wonderful friends for us as well as our kids.

Playing at the Adams'

from the camera.

We went over to the Adams' to play some and to give the moms a break. Also Abby and Chase just got a new play scape that the boys wanted to check out.

which comes easy to all of them.

Corson had his last day on school on May 22, 2007. They did a nice program that had the kids singing and then Mrs. Cleaver gave the kids a book of pictures of them and things they have done throughout the school year. I thought it was funny to put a picture of Corson singing because that is the one thing that he would not participate in at school. He would go to the singing class, but never would sing. It was such a surprise to see him participate in the singing. Mrs. Cleaver said that "Corson is the one with the most smiles in my class". There are just a few in the pictures above. I can't beleive that he is going to be 4 in a couple of short weeks. How the time flies.

Day out at the Tigers Game.

On Wednesday May 2, 2007, Corson, Braden, myself, and my friend Bibi wet to see the Detroit Tigers play at Commerica Park. This was the first game of the season for Corson, but Braden's first game ever. Fun was had by all. The boys did GREAT, they got to see their favorite player, Pudge Rodriguez. Corson was always asking "Were is Pudge?" and "What is Pudge doing now?". We also got to meet Paws, the Tigers mascot. Both boys continued to ask "Where is Paws?", even though neither one of them wanted to get close to Paws without mom by their side. By the end of the game we were all tired out, especially Braden.

house for Easter.

At Easter, the boys finally got to meet their cousin Hailey. They were SO excited that they did not know what to do with themselves. Braden had to be right next to her and Corson was back and forth. He was more interested in sitting in her bouncy seat.
