Disney Days 2014

It's Disney Days time of year again.  Thanks to Aunt Kisty's reminder (because she works at the Galivan Center which is where it is each year), we were able to make it this August and had so much fun once again.
We were able to go with Aunt Erin and her two cuties as well.
Let's start at the bounce house!
Go Jax - no fear this one!
Logan taking the plunge too
Spinning the wheel of prizes
Next, we moved on to the spider and cockroach scare booth.  I was totally grossed out but not these kids - they were so brave.
Jax may have been a little "weirded out" but still brave
Austin loved it too
And my little girly girl Rio was loving these bugs - she kept saying, "oh..." - she's so fun
Bow and arrows - have you ever shot one?? They are hard to do and being accurate is another thing too.  But Jax tried really hard and actually shot the bullseye
Austin tried and tried too and these sweet people there were so cute in trying to help them both.
Time for the train!
Logan started out in the train all by himself and well...
...he didn't last long until I joined him :) and then he was okay
Oh my goodness!  It's Princess Ariel - she was so fun to talk to and the kids were super excited to meet her.
There was no face painting this year but they did have glitter tattoos so we were all about it!
Austin chose the Decepticon symbol
Rio loved her two dolphins kissing this heart.
It took Jax a little while to choose and to be okay with it being placed on his arm rather than his leg but when he chose...
he chose one of his favorite little critters - a red eyed tree frog
All 3 glitter tattoos - loved them!
Time to break for lunch; picnic style
Blake was having fun too - he is seriously such a good baby!  He just goes with the flow and is always so happy!
Water time!
Each year, these kids remember playing in the water and having so much fun so we had to bring our suits again and play!
I'm so glad that they love water and having fun together.
*Jax, Logan and Rio*
Next we heard a siren and saw the fire engine blowing out water!
It was so much fun and the kids were in heaven thinking it way cool that the fire truck could spray them.
(The top pic are my four closest to me and the bottom pic is Cole in his yellow shirt)
*Austin, Rio and Jax*
They are so fun and are always up for an adventure!
Erin and I - I was so glad to go with her.  She moved in October so I knew our days of playing together were coming to an end and I was so so grateful to have gone with her and Cole and & Cooper.
Can't wait for next year!

I got a bunch of thespians on my hands

These little cuties are so creative! 
They make movies, preform plays, do science experiments and so many other fun things together.
This day, they decided to do a play for me. I felt so lucky!
There was some cleaning and school involved....they were so cute!
Sam is so so cute with Logan.  He was ready to watch the play and Sam was ready to help him :)
Oh no!  It started raining during the play :)
And a final bow...well done guys!
*Jax, Ella, Austin and Rio*
Watch out! These two boys are pretty fierce with their dress-ups!
Love them  - they have so much fun together!

My happy Blake; his toys and tricks

This post is just a bunch of adorable pics of my super easy, sweet, happy, content little Blake.
When the kids and I play outside in the front, Blake comes too and has a fun time in his bouncer or bumbo.
I took this pic because I love it when they figure out how to turn the music on in the bouncer and he did it around 4 1/2 months!  Way to go smart boy!
HE DID IT!
He rolled over!  So proud of him - he was not quite 5 months - that is WAY quicker than my other kiddos - he did awesome going one way and then kept getting stuck getting back :)
See....stuck! and...
...and not happy!  "HELP!"
I took this pic at his 4 month appointment and he was so happy the whole time and even after his shots, he only cried for about 20 seconds!   ROCK STAR this kid!
Love him!  Such beautiful eyes!
Playing with his new playmat from my friend Ang. I left ours in our moving pod for some reason and so she let me have hers. Thank goodness  - he loves it!
Rio is the BEST sister ever - she is so sweet to Blake and always wants to help him and take care of him.  She is constantly asking me what she can do to help! 
Love you Rio - you're such a sweet sister!

JL Sorenson swimming - who knew indoor would be so much fun!

Little Blake was such a good boy and just hung out in his stroller while the big kids played.  He is such a champ - love you cute boy!
"Okay lily pad, I'm gonna make it across..."
My little cuties were so determined to make it across these floating lily pads.
Here goes Jax...
Pad #1 - done!
He kept going and made it!  It was so great to watch his determination after falling off a few times.  Way to go Jax
Here goes Rio...
She fell off about one or two times before this and yet, she kept trying.  I love it!  So proud of her.
Hang on baby girl!
She did it!
Love you sweetie - you did awesome.
Austin made it across on his first attempt!
He just jumped and jumped like a little frog without any hesitation.
Reach Aust!
Almost there :)
These kids are honestly fearless - they had a great time going up and down and up and down these fun slides.
Go Jax!

Nice trick Austin - love the back spin
Me and my adorable little fish Logan - he LoVeD this pool!
Rio was in heaven helping Jett, Melissa's two year old go up and down these slides and he loved it too!
Austin getting ready to slide down.
Woo-hoo!
Austin and Jett sliding away together - so fun
Logan absolutely LOVES Nemo so I don't need to say how much he loved this perfect little Nemo slide.
He's so fun to watch play in the water.
Whirlpool time!  
They loved it and had so much fun swirling around together.
