Could It Really Be Time?

Take us to the store and you'll see that once again, we are very different kids.  Cole will have 7 toys picked out by the time we get to the "enter" door.  Me, I bring home shovels.  I got my fourth one this week and spent quite a bit of time using it to transfer the mulch from the landscaping to the sidewalk.  You're welcome Mom!

This weekend, we finally had no plans and great weather!  Can you believe baseball starts this week?!  Cole was out practicing his fielding, which is what he's really working on this year.

Coach Dad and Biggest Fan - me!

Hey Coley!  Hey COLEY!  THROW IT TO ME!

It's a rare occurrence, but sometimes we little brothers DO have an advantage.  I can already hold a glove and bat and understand the fundamentals at age 3.  I can't wait to get out there on the field next Spring!

45 Tips for Men

Mom adding these here so she doesn't have to re-write them into our journals.

Keep Em On Their Toes

You probably know I'm not known for being the better behaved brother.  Today I decided to give angelic behavior a whirl just to shake things up a bit at Dr. Jamie's.

I was good, I listened, I spoke nicely to Julie and I let her clean, x-ray and floss my teeth with a BIG smile on my face just like Coley would.

I gotta tell ya, it was kinda nice to see Mom's big smile and to be Ooooh'd and Awww'd over because of my winning personality.  I may have to surprise her with this move again!

Treats

Kent stopped by with Read A Thon money and a special reward for me last night.

Thanks Grandma Pat!

Beefcake

It's no secret that I have more beefcake genes in my blood than my brother.  I like to help the process along by working out.

I call this the juice box press.

HooRAH

Bloopers

Funny shots from the trip.  What on earth is B thinking?!

Bugga and Daddy in bed together?!

What's on MY mind?! 

Um... Daddy?!

Oh B...

I took this awesome shot of Mom!

Nice popcorn cheeks!

Mom!

Nice hair B and nice face Mom!

All You Can Possibly Eat!

Our waiter told us his goal was for us to gain at least 10 lbs on the trip.  There was more food than we could possibly imagine every time we turned around!

Of course, we didn't care about that.  We loved the staff!  They did magic tricks, made us origami pets and they all called us by name.  What an awesome crew!

Dan was one of our favorites.  He had a BIG smile and laughed harder than we did at his magic tricks!

Abracadabra!

Tektas was Bugga's buddy.  He was funny too!

B would not drink from kiddie cups.  He's big time now.

Oh, and the Mickey Ice Cream bars!  Heavenly!

Hey Mom!  Do I have a little something on my face?!

Even Bugga loved the Mickey bars!  At the end of the week, Daddy did manage to gain 5 lbs. and Mom lost weight because she got Strep Throat and didn't eat the last two days.  We of course didn't gain an ounce.  We're kids!

The Bahamas

Did you know Disney owns their own island in the Bahamas?!  25 people live there year 'round to maintain it for travelers like us.  When we woke up Thursday morning, we were there!

We couldn't eat breakfast fast enough!  We rushed off the boat as fast as we could and made a quick stop at the post office to say hello to our buddy Olaf.

On a bus and over to the kid's beach!

I of course, wore my Cozumel hat.  I don't want to get wrinkles.

They built a big waterpark right there on the beach!

B and I had a blast just playing on the beach.  We love the beach.

Mom spent the first hour blowing up this cheapo floatie that she purchased at the Mexican Walmart.  Then she spent the next hour helping me build a sandcastle that kept getting washed away.  Thanks Ma!

Dad just tried to keep B from trampling our fellow cruisers and their families!

Wherever he goes, that is the place that he owns.

Thank goodness he was wearing a suit.  He blends right in with the white sand!

We could have stayed on that beach for weeks.

Thank Goodness Mom finally got him some sunscreen he wasn't allergic to.  SPF 75 for this kid.

Finally, they pulled us out of the water to eat lunch and head back onboard for a much needed nap.

What a great time for two great kids!

Home sweet home!

Shows!

There are all kinds of shows on a Disney Cruise!  We got to see Frozen in the movie theatre.  We also saw a comedian, a ventriloquist and three Broadway style plays!

I always sat with Grandma.  When Grandma is around, Mommy is chopped liver!

Cole enjoyed the BUCKETS of popcorn.

Here we are with the Ventriloquist.  He was SO funny!

We waited in line to get front row seats to Toy Story the musical, and Disney Dreams the musical.  Can you believe we got bubbled on AND snowed on in the theatre!  Leave it to Disney to blow our minds.  We also saw the Golden Mickeys which were pretty cool.

What a great couple :)  Grandma and Bugga loved the shows as well.

And I was a perfect angel throughout all of them.  I was just amazed :)
