Mason's Birthday

This is the last day of pictures from our trip. Friday was Mason's birthday and he was able to get the special birthday button and some money from Disney to spend since we already had a ticket for him and they are doing the "get in free" special on your birthday. We went to the Whispering Canyon Cafe and had fun getting 17 bottles of ketchup delivered when we asked for some ketchup and Sadie enjoyed the stick pony event around the cafe. We rode all of his favorite rides and then went back to the hotel to swim. He bought a couple of expensive toys with his money and loved wearing his birthday ears. Oh and if you can't tell, he liked his ice cream too! He was such a good hoola hooper that I got several compliments on how well he did. People were amazed how long he could keep that hoop going. He spent about 20 minutes with it.
  
  
  
  
  

Sadie turns 7!

Sadie turned the ripe old age of 7 today and was excited that Both her Grandma's got to celebrate it with her. Katie's Mom arrived early yesterday morning. It was actually supposed to be late Thursday evening, but after some delays and a lost bag we made it home from the Baltimore airport in time for a short snooze before breakfast.

Sadie wanted to spend the day at the aquarium in Baltimore, so that is what we did. It is a really nicely done aquarium with some amazing displays, including a dolphin show. I don't think I have been to a better one! Afterwards we went to the mall to go to a Build-a-bear store where Sadie had a coupon for a free stuffed animal. She knew exactly what she wanted when we got there too - a pretty brown horse she named Rosy.

We were all pretty wiped out after the long day - especially Katie who is still sore from the c-section. I think tomorrow will be for relaxin'

Sadie turns Six!!

It was an exciting weekend for us as Sadie turned six years old!! She had some good friends over for a slunber party and all the accompanying fun and games. It was actually a double duty party as they are moving out of town this weekend. We are very sad to see them go but fortunatly they will only be a few hours away so visits are still possible.



Sadie is excited to be starting the first grade. Mason is hoping (and so is Mom) that he will be accepted into the Pre-K program like Sadie was 2 years ago. We are hoping that the fact that they already know Mason doesn't count against him when they make their selections!! :) Just kidding, he is actually qute a charmer, especially with the teachers.
