Disney 2009

We decided to treat ourselves to a family vacation at Disney World. None of us have ever been before so we had no idea what to expect. It was amazing, we absolutley loved it! Even though we didn't choose the best time of the year to go it was still so much fun. We decided next time we are going to put more thought and planning into going, this time was sort of last minute decision. Mid August probably isn't the smartest time to go as it was VERY hot and crowded. Ashe and Zander loved it and had so much fun. Zander said his favorite part was the character breakfast we did where he got to meet Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto. Ashe liked the rides the best. Arya did not like the characters at all. She liked the statues of the characters though. She was a trooper spending most of the days in her stroller, she did so good.

Our last day we went back to Epcot to catch some things we missed the first day we went. We got up early to be one of the first in line and it paid off. We were chosen that day to be the family to help open the park. We were the first ones in and did a count down to open the gates. We even got to sign Mickey's autograph book. All of that was very special especially since it was our last day there.

I don't know why there is two of the same pictures posted on here, I couldn't get it off and it took way too long to download all the pictures on here so I'm not messing with it because I don't want to screw it up. LOL

First steps!!!

Today Arya took her first two steps by herself! Her and Daddy were playing around and he kept standing her up in front of him and she would laugh and lean towards him and finally she took one step by herself. He kept doing it and she eventually took two steps all by herself while she laughed because she thought this was a great game. It was so cute. She has been walking really well holding one hand and really cruises along holding both our hands so we knew this day was coming soon. I took a bunch of short little video's while they were playing so I will check them later and see if I caught the moment and if it is short enough I will try to download it on here.

Below is the video of her first steps but I can't get it to rotate, so sorry about having to watch it sideways.

In other news, a few weeks ago Zander lost his first tooth! We told him to put it under his pillow and the tooth fairy would bring him money but that night he told Buddy he didn't want to put it under his pillow that he wanted to sleep by himself in his room. So the next morning we talked to him about it and explained that the tooth fairy is just pretend and that it is us. He said to us, can you just give me my money while I'm awake then. LOL
