Fun in the Snow!

Tanner and Brenton building a snowman. They lost interest, so it never got further than this!
Back in the house with their hot cocoa!
Aren't they so cute! I was surprised Tanner could actually walk, he was so bundled up!

Halloween Pictures

Brenton, the Power Ranger, Brinlee the Butterfly and Tanner as Buzz Lightyear on Halloween night.
How cute is this?!
The kids ready to go to the Harvest Party at church.
Brenton and his friend, Spencer, at their Halloween Party at school.
Brinlee was all about trick or treating, she insisted on walking all by herself. Brenton, playing in the leaves the night we carved pumpkins.

Brenton entered his pumpkin in the Pumpkin Fest at school and won the prize. The contestants' names were all entered in a drawing, the pumpkins weren't actually judged.
Brinlee wearing her cute little hat. I can't believe she will leave it on! Jim would rake the leaves in a big pile at the bottom of the slide. The boys thought it was the greatest thing!
For some reason, Brinlee enjoyed giving the pumpkins kisses.

Magic Kingdom and Misc. Pictures

Tanner and Yaya
Isn't this a cool picture? It was getting ready to storm.
Brenton and Papa
I have no idea what was going down here. I think the picture is so funny.
Brinlee playing in the sprinklers at Magic Kingdom. I left her binky with the clip in the van when we were dropped off at the airport....so she had to go around with her binky tied to a shoelace. There was no way I was going to let the only binky I had with us get lost!!
Tanner eating his Mickey Mouse ice cream cone.
Brenton and Mickey!
The boys chillin' out in Yaya and Papa's room.
Brenton got his caricature done at our hotel.
We all rode this around the boardwalk. Becky and Jaron are there too, they're just hidden behind Papa! You should have seen us trying to pedal up the hills. If anyone was videotaping us, you might see us on America's Funniest Home Videos!
Brenton's finished caricature!

Well, that is it for the vacation photos! As you can see, we had a wonderful time. The boys keep asking when we can go back. I can't wait to go back myself! Stay tuned for Halloween pictures.

MGM Pictures

The SPD Power Rangers, the highlight of our day at MGM!
This picture is actually from Animal Kingdom, I forgot to add it with the rest from Animal Kingdom. Isn't it so sweet!?
The boys with the Green Ranger. Brenton and Buzz Lightyear. Tanner would only pose with the Power Rangers and Brinlee didn't want anything to do with any of the characters.
Brenton and Tanner with the White Ranger.
Brinlee at Pizza Planet. Those of you who have seen Toy Story remember Andy and his family eating dinner at Pizza Planet. That was where Buzz and Woody fell into evil Sid's hands! The boys thought it was pretty cool we were able to eat there. Brenton also insisted on playing the claw game (again, you have to have seen the movie)!!
Yes, we had our picture taken with every single Power Ranger!
The whole gang (minus Papa, the photographer) eating our pizza.

Epcot and Animal Kingdom Pictures

Brinlee and Tanner were too little to go the new ride, Soarin', at Epcot. They got to get some goodies to eat while they waited. We had lunch in "Mexico" while at Epcot. Tanner looking good in a sombrero.
Not to be outdone, Brenton models one as well!
Can you tell they were a little tired from being out late at the Halloween Party the night before?
Aunt Becky, Brenton, Jaron and I on the water ride at Animal Kingdom. Tanner was big enough for this ride and was very happy he was able to ride it, until he was the one to get drenched!
Kelton and Brinlee digging for dinosaur bones at Animal Kingdom.
Here is the whole crew of us!
Two hands on wheel and both eyes on the road, she looks like a natural!
The boys posing on a dinosaur fossil.

Hoop De Doo and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Pictures!

We went to the Hoop De Doo Dinner Review the first night. We all enjoyed it. They got everyone involved. Here is Brenton, Jaron, Aunt Becky and Uncle John making some music!
The cast members announced birthdays and such...."Kelton from Michigan turning one!"


They gave us so much food! We were all so hungry when we got there we filled up on bread and salad! Here is Yaya and Papa enjoying it.

Here is sweet Brenton and Jaron snacking on the bread. Brenton really enjoyed the salad. He actually asks for salad now!!! On Sunday night, our second night, we went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. We all had a blast. It was by ticket only so it was not very busy. Only the most popular attractions were open, but there was no waiting in any lines. The kids could trick or treat throughout the park and they had a parade and fireworks. It was really one of the highlights of our trip.
Jim, Aunt Becky, Uncle John, Brenton, Jaron and I got off Space Mountain around midnight and found Yaya like this with the little ones!
Kelton, Tanner, Jaron and Brenton on the bus on the way to Magic Kingdom.
Brinlee "Butterfly" on her way to the party!!! Jim and Tanner on the car ride.
