Owen's 3rd Birthday

Wow.  3 years old.  Seems like yesterday we brought this lil boy home.  Sigh. 
 
We had O's party at Let's Jump.  He had a great time!  Pretty sure all the kids did.

New Pics of Our New Home

   
  We pruned the bushes in front of the windows, had the ivy removed, stained the garage & front door.  We will be replacing one of the 3 trees in front this fall.
This shows the front door/foyer.  We had this area painted along with the guest room/office, stairwell and family room since they have 20' ceilings.  We can do the rest hopefully this winter.

Guest Room/Office


Formal Dining Room

Family Room
Besides painting this room we put in wood floors.  We also put wood floors in the guest room, master bedroom and dining room.  There was carpet in those areas and it was in bad shape. 

  
Here is the breakfast nook & kitchen.

We LOVE our new home and don't want to move again!!!  : )

Disney World Animal Kingdom

  

   



Everest.  A rollercoaster featuring the Yeti.  Tom got to sit in the very front and said it was awesome!


On safari...







Breakfast @ Chef Mickey's in the Contemporary


Doing the Robot while waiting for our table





Donald was at a table nearby and the boys would quack at him.  He would turn around and shake his tail feathers.  It was too funny!




After breakfast we stopped by the gift shop and this is what Owen picked out.  Thor's hammer.  Oh my, I sense trouble.

Darth Vader & 2 Storm Troopers came by to try and convince some jedis to join them on the dark side.

What have I agreed to?  We made appointments for Nick & Kyra at the Bippity Boppity Boutique.  Nick got the Knight's Package which included colored hair gel, mickey painted on the back of his head, a shield and sword.

Spike in progress



Owen wasn't too sure about all this and seemed relieved he didn't have to get that stuff in his hair.
Here's what he was doing while Nick was getting transformed.


Look out!  Sir Nicholas is ready to take on some dragons!





This statue was at The Candy Cauldron.  The witch from Snow White made an impression on Owen when we rode the Scary Adventures of Snow White at Magic Kingdom.  He calls her the Stinky Witch.  He  repeatedly asked why the dwarves chased her and why she doesn't like Snow White.
