Cheetah Face and Family Fun!!

     I love going to Disney with the boys. Billy does too. It is quiet possible that Billy and I love Disney even more than the boys do. :) We took them to Animal Kingdom on Saturday. Now that they are 7 and 4 and interested in more things it was a whole different experience. They became wilderness explorers. They had to earn badges all through out the park and we learned so many fun facts along the way. We had a blast. Holden loved getting his face painted and Tanner LOVED getting his Mickey Mouse ice cream. We rode the safari ride, the river rapids, petted goats, and LOVED the live performance of The Lion King show. AMAZING!! We always work up an appetite and most of the time end up at Red Robin. It's our family tradition I guess you could say. I LOVE me a good burger. We are having such a great summer and I sure love my boys.

Tanner Heath our little Space Pirate

     Tanner is doing a summer play at the Ocala Civic Theater and he is playing the part of All Bot a space alien robot. The play is about bullying and we sure can not wait to see it. He had to audition by singing a song and doing a monologue. He chose a monologue from Lemony Snickets a series of unfortunate events. He recited the part where Count Olaf meets the children for the first time at the door. He was so cute and worked hard on it. Ms. Amanda the director said he nailed it. What a brave and smart kid. I am so proud of him. He finished up his first grade year with a Reader's Achievement award for reading the most words in first grade. He and I both love reading and I love reading with him. He is a bright kid. He is curious and imaginative. I am so happy to be his mommy. I fall short and the best thing I can do about that is ask God to help me. I love my boys. On the last day of school I was first in carline and could not wait to get Tanner and take the boys to Blizzard Beach. It was not crowded at all and we had the best time. SWEET MEMORIES!! I LOVE LIVING IN FL. I want to make that a tradition every year. Holden learned to ride without training wheels several weeks ago and at 4 years old he inspired his brother to do it too. I love how different my children are. I can say that some of the day to day things in parenting are really hard but thankful I am dependent on a Father in Heaven who knows that. Here are a few pics from the last day of First Grade for Tanner Man.
