MARDI GRAS, DISNEY WORLD, AND MORE





We had a fun time at the Pensacola Mardi Gras parade. The threw so many beads, stuffed animals, toys and candy (even moonpies). If you notice the girls sacks are full with all their goods from the parade. It was a nice family friendly parade. I know they have some other wilder parades at night time. The girls have been playing and sorting through their beads all day.
DISNEY WORLD

This is a picture of Brayden with our friend's son waiting to see the "playhouse disney" show. I love this picture because they look so similar.

This is at Hollywood Studio on one of the sets.





This was at the Wild Animal Kingdom. I think of all the parks we liked this one this one the best. It had awesome displays of the animals, rides, and great shows.



The girls got to see some of the Disney princesses. Unfortunely, when we saw Ariel my camera battery went dead. I think seeing the princesses is what the girls loved the most. Even Brayden liked seeing and talking to Ariel, but Brayden's favorite character to see was Mickey Mouse.


We decided to go to Disney World during President's Day weekend. It was kind of a quick trip, and a lot of driving (about 8 hours each way), but it was so FUN. We got three days in at the parks. We went with two other families from Brett's flight surgery class. I am so happy we got to go, and that the kids got a chance to experience Disney World while we are in Florida.

BRYNN'S SCHOOL VALENTINES PARTY

Here is Brynn at her Valentine's party. It is always so fun to see all the Kindergarters having a good time. Brayden and Aubrey loved it because they got to join in on the fun.

BRETT FLYING

I was so happy Brett got some pictures of him flying. This was one his last day of flight training. He was doing formating flying. Flying has been on of Brett's highlights in life. He really loves it.

BRAYDEN'S TWO YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY


We had a Mickey Mouse birthday party for Brayden. It was cute, because he sang happy birthday to himself and everything. Even days after the party if someone would even say "birthday", he would think they were talking about his birthday. It is hard for me to believe that my baby(for a little while longer) is really two. I am so happy he has been in our lives for these two years. He is such a pleasant happy boy. It really just goes with the flow, and he is always giving us lots of hugs and kisses.
DAY AT THE BEACH



A couple of weeks ago we went down to our favorite local beach, which is funny that we don't do it more because it is less than 5 miles from our house. Anyways, it was such a nice day. It had been a couple of hard weeks of pregnancy and it was just so nice to get out and see the beautiful white sand and the ocean. It really helped me to be happy. We had a picnic and played in the water, and later on went on a great bike ride by the beach.
We also found out resently that we are going back to the beaches of California (Oceanside). Brett got a job working with the Marines at Camp Pendleton. We are so excited to go back. I have liked living here, but I have missed California so much. We will be moving back in April.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that you guys are coming back to CA! I have to admit that we were a bit skeptical that you would. We have to get together when you come back! Scott has ran in about 3 or 4 more 5k and I have been running again. We will NEVER be your caliber but we have really started to love it again. Your family is super cute. Happy Birthday Brayden!

I thought when you were pregnant you were suppose to slow down. I should know who I'm talking to and know better.
Tell Bret he looks cool up there. I can't believe Brayden's 2, give him a B-day hug for me.
