Magic Kingdom Day 3 & 4

Magic Kingdom was our day three and four and it was truly magical for all. We meet a ton of characters. Actually got to ride the magic carpet with Jasmine and Aladdin. So Jasmine is our new favorite princess. Brylie thought she look the best and she was a very pretty girl. We enjoyed the rides here, lots of fun for all. Our family's favorite here was the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The most magical part of the whole trip just so happened here. On Friday we got to see the shuttle launch. We really didn't plan or every thing we could see it here at Magic Kingdom. We were walking and we looked up over Cinderella's Castle and there it was. It was so awesome and so unbelievable. I could not believe how up smoke or I guess fire was shooting out of the back of the shuttle. It so brought chills up my spin. That night we had our second character dinner it was at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. Brylie could hardly wait to see and meet all the princess. Lawson at first was not too much into the night. He kept saying, "Princess for gurls I Not gurl". Then his mood changed when his favorite princess came out Cinderella. Not sure but I think she is his favorite because she is always in blue? The last day of the trip we just slept in late let the kids swim and then went back to parks to do our favorite rides. Man, that was too crazy of a day with tons of people at the parks.

















After the Princess Dinner we went out to see IllumiNations firework show and Daddy had a dance with his little Princess.

Disney Day 2 &3

The second day at Disney we went to Animal Kingdom. We love several of the rides and it was not too crowded so the kids got to ride their favorite rides over and over again. We saw two awesome shows: Festival of the Lion King and Finding Nemo the musical. Both a must see if you going to Disney Animal Kingdom. So here are our pictures from Day two.










Day 3 Disney Hollywood Studios

This was such a fun day. First thing first we went on the Toy Story Maina ride because that is all my kids talked about before the trip. It was a fun ride but man, people are crazy about it so we only rode it once. We meet a tons of character that day. Brylie rode everything and loved it. She so loved the Rock 'n'Roller coaster. We all rode the Tower of Terror. I am such the bad Mommy for putting Lawson on that one. He pulled his little baseball cap over his eyes and tried his best to not see anything ,as he screamed his little head off. After the ride was over, he looked at me and said, " Mommy, I NOT RIDE that again it scared me. I scream like a gurl." Then each ride after that he was not so brave and would ask if he would be scared. Needless to say we had tons of fun and would do it again well, maybe not the Tower of Terror.








Disney: Day One Epcot

Wow! A week later, I can't believe it has taken me this long to post pictures and tell about our Fabulous family vacation. I guess it took me some time to get through all the piles of laundry to post about our trip. I am not sure how to sum up a week that was so unforgettable! This trip was a something we have planned for a very long time. Since Brylie was three years and saw her first Walt Disney World commercial she has been saving her money for this big trip. We wanted to wait until the kids were older and could enjoy and hopefully remember this trip. The time finally came and the Sandlin family began their trip to this make-believe land in which dreams come true! Our kids were at perfect ages to enjoy the magic. Finally, what some of you have been asking for... PICTURES!! of the memorable moments from the first day at Epcot.

He is no BABY...but he will always be my baby boy!


Wow, can it really be four years ago that I had Lawson James Sandlin? Time seems to pass by so very fast. I am trying very hard to hold on to each days memories because before too long he will be in school and everything seems to go even faster then. I really love the age 4. I so hope that it is a easier year than 3 was for us. He is becoming such a little boy before my eyes. He does stuff, I just shack my head and say, I will never understand boys. He loves to spit and it is usually in places or with people we don't know well. Lawson also loves to make himself burp. Yes, some how he has taught himself this great trick. He is now trying very hard to talk and burp at the same time. See what did I tell ya, he is all boy. Lawson is very much into potty humor. It seems that will be a stage that most boys don't grow out of.

Now he is very much so a Mama's boy. He loves to hug me and kiss me and tell me time and time again how much he loves me. I love to hear Mommy ur (your) my buddy. He always wants to hold my hand and sit next to me at dinner. I will so miss the day he is too cool or too old for these things.

He loves to use his imagination and play. I love to just sit and listen to him as he plays it totally makes my heart smile. He is such a sweet and loving child and wants most of the time to please you. He is a great brother and a wonderful son! Happy Birthday Lawson!

Surviving April

To say the least this has been a month for the Sandlin's. We started off with Brylie having strep. Then it moved to Lawson then Brylie having the flu. After that ended I decided I needed attention so I got the stomach bug and then a sinus infection. The sinus infection got so bad I could not eat. I finally took myself to the doctor for meds and a shot. We were all well and off antibiotic then last night happen. I went to pick up Brylie from school we were home maybe 10 mins. The kids were playing and I went to the bathroom. I hear a horrible cry. You know the one that you can tell that someone is really hurt. I run out to see both kids crying. I did a quick check and everyone seemed fine. I could tell by Lawson's cry he was hurt worst. I picked him up to find blood pouring out of his head. He and Brylie were playing with a spider man umbrella and some how he fell and hit his head on the fireplace. We rush to the ER only to wait for 2 hours before they stitched him up. They did wrap his head while we waited. He so looked like a WWII victim. He did very well and so did I. I was so scared I would be crying right beside him as he got 2 staples. We did so good and didn't cry much. They finally got us back and numb the spot and then did the staples. He really just lost his breath and cried a little until he heard that he would be getting a Popsicle. Then it was all worth it and he was so very happy. Ok so we only have a few more days of April to survive. So hopefully we can do it and just get by with out any major sickness or emergency.

Waiting for the meds to numb his head. Apparently it made him do this gangster pose?
