Just got home (and yes I'm exhausted)

We just flew in and boy are my arms tired. Just kidding we drove and we had so much fun!! I'm still recovering but I want to do it again. I can't find the SD card from Disney world so I will post the beach first. On our way home we stayed in Destin FL. The beach was beautiful. It's the first time I ever saw a beach with white sand and blue water. The water was so warm we dove right in. Maddie and Wesley loved the beach they played in and out of the water all day.

This is what you look like after you spend a week in Disney World.

Amazingly they got along the whole day.

Yes after ten years we still like each other.

Emma hated every minute of the beach, she hated getting dirty. This is a rare picture were a tag caught her attention.

Santa in the off-season

Have you ever wondered what all those shopping mall Santas do in the off-season? Like, say, around Tax Time?

The Bod Hacks the System!

From an undisclosed location 150 miles offshore floating on a rusty metal cork in 3000 feet of water I had to hack Anna's blog to post this video of Wes at the Easter Egg Hunt. It's not the best video (it came from my phone) and it's unedited, but this is never before seen footage... So here it is...Bigger...Badder...and UNCUT!



P.S. Watch for ducklings!

The Wilcoxs are going to Disney World!!!

I have been preparing for our big trip. I bought us all red shirts and I'm putting Mickey Mouse on them. I used freezer paper stencil.

First I found clip art on the computer I liked and traced it on freezer paper.

Then I ironed it on my t-shirt. I painted it black with fabric paint. All the mickey heads have numbers on them, Todd has number one, I have 2 and down the line it goes. (Papa has P and Grandma has G)

When it dries you peel off the paper.

And the next day you iron to "Set It". We are going to look so rad in Disney World.

Big News for the Wilcox's

Something exciting happening for us is Todd got a new job. After 3 1/2 years of Todd working off-shore he got a job in the office. We are so excited to have him home every night. I don't know what it will be like, I might have to start cooking dinner at normal hours. He is off-shore right now but this is his last job before he starts his new one. I would tell you the new title but I don't remember it, something to do with engineering.

Dragons, Dragons I swear I saw a Dragon

Wesley and Maddie came running up to me and asked, "Mom, are dragons fiction or non-fiction?" I told them fiction. Maddie said (as she wiped her brow), "PHEW! I was hoping you would say that."
