This and That

Mya fell asleep on the couch the other night in full princess attire. She NEVER does this so we new she was tired!

Target had all the pools clearanced out the other day so we got one and Derek blew it up. It still has not been filled up with water and they have had so much fun playing in it just like that.

Hangin out on daddy's shoulder:)

We had Indonesian day on Sunday. Mya wanted to wear her dress so I just had to put Toby in his outfit too.

Toby is always grabbing Mya's cups so we got him some of his own boy cups.

Our fish had a baby! They are livebearing fish so no eggs. Had no idea that there were such kind of fish. If you look very closely under the bright orange fish you can see the baby.

Derek made a fun little door to put in front of the desk in the livingroom. Toby hasn't quite figured out how to get in by himself...

Mya however loves to go in and out and bring all her treasures in.

Fun inbetween the Rain Drops

Saturday afternoon we headed to Lakeland to Hollis Garden. Halfway there it started raining but it actually cooled things down and stopped while we were there:)

Mya deciding where we should go.

Mommy and Mya. We pretended this was the bench that Cinderella met her fairy godmother:)

Smelling the beautiful flowers.

This was there favorite part of the garden. They loved watching the fish and Toby loved being out of the stroller!

Mya loves water. If there is touchable water she must touch it! I think I hear 50 times a day she needs to wash her hands:)

Look mom!

Mya needed her umbrella because it was "almost" going to rain.

All of us:)

Daddy and Toby having fun.

Mya was bribed with seeing Cinderella's pumpkin carriage to get her to smile for the picture.

What a sweet little girl!

Since it was only another 1/2 hour to Downtown Disney we headed on over. Mya still cannot contain her excitement when she sees Cinderella and the pumpkin carriage.

Trying on some fun hats.

Hi everyone!

Winnie the Pooh and Mya and Toby too.

We decided to ride the "free" boat ride that goes from the resorts to Downtown Disney as a courtesy of the resorts that is suppose to be about 15 min. Halfway to the resort it started to rain and thunder and lightning. They shut down the boat rides. The boat driver told us they also have busses that are free that we could get back to downtown disney. We found them and after waiting about 15 min a bus for downtown Disney came. Well it didn't have enough room for everyone and the driver said that another bus would be coming in 10min. We could have also walked back but by now it was downpouring on top of the lightning and thundering. So we just stood in our spot and an hour and a half later the bus came. So our "free" 15 min boat ride turned into a two hour adventure. It was a fun day even with the rain and the bus wait.

Mya and Toby did LOVE the boat ride so it was worth it. Mya turned to me and said,"Mommy I love this ride!"

Toby would look over the side and laugh and point.

Summer Days

Mya, and her friends, Caroline and Hallie watching Bambi on the computer in her bed per their request.

Toby staring longingly at Mya's sucker.

This morning we went to Pump It Up a place with different blow up jump houses and slides. Mya is in the white shirt and flowered skirt right behind the girl in the pink climbing up the slide.

Getting ready to go down

weeeeeeee

and she made it!

I did it mommy! I did it mommy! She had a blast and couldn't get enough of it.

We met Mya's friend Delaney there also. Here they are after a fun morning of play.

Playing outside.

Hi mom.

Taking the car for a drive:)

Motorcycle Rides and Sweet Little Boy

Last Saturday Derek took Mya on her first Motorcycle ride around the block. Up until now when Derek turns it on she goes running. All of a sudden she got really excited to go.

Putting on her very special helmet according to her.

Excited!

All ready to go.

Hi mom.

I found Toby sleeping like this the other day and thought it was very cute.

Happy Boy

Derek's new exercise equipment:)

Spiky hair and planting seeds

Mya has been very interested in planting things lately (thanks to Curious George). We were at Target the other day and found in the clearance section a watering can and some herbs to plant.

Dumping in the dirt.

Basil seeds.

Parsley seeds.

Spreading the seeds.

Watering

Now we have to wait for them to grow!
