Adventures with Visitors

So here are the pictures that you have all been waiting for: (warning: There are lots of pictures, I had a hard time narrowing them down!)
As you know, we moved. Samuel LOVES his room, and it's not even completely organized yet. It was the first room that we got started on because we wanted to make sure and have it mostly put together when Samuel got home from "school".





We went to Sea World with Connie's family while they were here and Kaylynn got picked to meet Seamore! Kaylynn is so adorable.





Samuel really liked feeling the ice in the wild Arctic exhibit.









The next weekend we went to Magic Kingdom. Samuel's favorite "attraction" was climbing about on the fence while waiting at Splash Mountain.

He also enjoyed riding with Auntie Connie and Richard on Pirates.












And splashing in Toontown.

It was cold (which means it dropped below 70!) so Samuel bundled up in this Halloween tiger costume.












It was a long day for the little tiger and he fell asleep in his car seat immediately...

Then Connie and family came over for dinner which was so much fun! All of the kids got to eat on beach blankets in the living room. Samuel had already eaten because he eats better when there isn't other excitement. Well, he still wanted to be with the cousins while they were eating so he got his chair and sat right at the end of the line!






Then this weekend we went to Busch Gardens with Bob! Here is a tiger from Busch Gardens....he's almost as cute as my Samuel tiger!




Samuel loved the carousel.
























and the sky ride










Well, that wraps out our adventures of the last month or so. After finishing with Busch Gardens we did head over and close out Magic Kingdom. I meant to get a picture with Samuel and Bob. Samuel really loved Bob - he especially loved that Bob sat in the back seat next to him in the car.
It was so great to have parts of our families come visit us!

Busy Month

It has been such a busy month with moving and such. Sorry about not updating the blog! My sister and her family are here for a few more days - we are going with them tonight to see a show and I am hoping to get more pictures. It has been great to see them! However, I just can't believe how big they all are (not my sister, but the kids)! This little kids that I would play with while we were down at BYU are now teenagers! That just doesn't seem right. Has it been that long?!! Time keeps going faster and faster. I guess I just need to do better at keeping up!
