Walt Disney 2016

We went back for the Mouse!!!!

We decided to go to Disney a little earlier than planned and had such a great time!!! Who wouldn't at Disney, though;) This was Harper's first time flying and she did wonderful!!! I made sure to buy a few new things for the plane at the dollar section in Target and it worked out great! I brought stickers, slime, tiny blocks/legos, snacks and Melissa and Doug magic coloring book. She played with her slime almost the entire way to Orlando and I totally recommend getting some! It was our first time flying Southwest and we will definitely be flying with them again. Everything went so smooth and it was so nice not having to drive for fourteen hours. 

On the way to the airport

Burning some energy 

We see our plane

We didn't even get to check in and Harper was already asleep

This girl loves slides and water....put them together and even better 

Harper loves the carousel

We found the castle  

Harper loved the tea cups

We took plenty of boat rides this trip

At Ohana for breakfast (really an early lunch but we wanted a cheaper character breakfast) and we really love breakfast food

Harper wasn't sure who this was

Joining in on the fun

Awe, Harper loves her Mickey Mouse

Chasing the cute ducks around

Watching the parade

Last year Harper hugged Mickey for at least two minutes and she did it once again. These are the moments!

Family photo

Harper wanted the ball, so they incorporated it into the picture. lol  

I'm sure she was waving at Mickey or Minnie;)

Enjoying Disney Springs

Harper loved these slippers and they ended up being her souvenir for this trip. She loves wearing them!

The fun came to end......until next time

Mother's Day

Oh, how I love Mother's Day!!!

It's one of my favorite days now and I always look forward to it! It has so much meaning to me and whenever I get to spend it with such a sweet little girl, it's even better:) I always like to leave the day pretty low key. This year we went to church in the morning, ate lunch at Texas Roadhouse (one of my favorite places), visited my parents, and relaxed at home that evening. 

I remember many of Mother's Days where I longed to be a mother. I always loved spending the day with my mother, but I still got a little more saddened when this day approached. The day was a reminder of what I was not. I always dreamed of the day that I would be a mother and how I would cherish all those little moments. Well, it's been THREE Mother's Days that I've been able to celebrate!!! Being a mother was my calling and absolutely love being a mommy!!! There is nothing like it and I hope I have many years ahead that I can spend it with my little girl, hubby, and maybe a few more kiddos;)   

For one of the gifts we gave my mom, we traced Harper's hand on a pot holder. I'm not the best at sewing but it actually turned out!!

Showing of Nana's flag

We tried but this was the best we could get

 Yum...ice-cream cupcakes!

Taking a short brake at the Azalea garden 

It's so pretty here!

Harper loved this swing! 

We got a smile:)

I would say rocks are a favorite 

Our annual tradition continues! Harper just wanted to play in the rocks, though. lol 

Helping momma plant and water our new flowers

Those boots!!!

The flowers are still getting watered and are still growing;)

 One last picture!!
