I am so far behind on posting these photos. Funny how life and kids can keep you so busy. :-) We are enjoying the summer but the schedule plus a house full of kids for most of the day has really thrown me off and I am behind on most everything.
We were in Orlando for a week and spent one of our days at Hollywood Studios with friends. It was a very dreary day with gray skies. The rain never really came too hard and we were able to stay relatively cool considering we were in Florida in June.
I'm not fond of any bug no matter what the form. Here is one for you from the block party parade. The Star Wars parade we saw last time was super. This one was pretty fun for not including Darth Vader.
These are my boys waiting for the Buzz Lightyear ride. It is lots of fun despite the one hour wait time. Luckily there is plenty of entertainment while waiting.
I guess the biggest highlight of the trip was when our youngest son (finally) got picked for Jedi Training. He got to train and then fight Darth Mal. He won a certificate and a Star Wars toothbrush that plays music.
I can't
not post my baby girl. She wiggled, walked around, snacked waiting for the show. When Beauty and the Beast started she was very still (thank goodness).
As we do with most theme parks, we closed the place down. Black Star Wars T-shirts for the boys were in order (because after all it is June in Florida!). How our little girl managed to not pass out is beyond me. She was a trooper. I think this was the only night that she slept by herself and not on top of me. Why is being on vacation so exhausting when you have little kids?
Here we are with our good friends. It is the only shot of all of us that we have from the 3 days we were together. Thanks to the random person that did that for us. I think he knew how to work my Powershot well. It can be a tricky little camera.
With the end of summer I can now announce that I am moving my blog HERE. I have only been trying to get this done for maybe...mmm... a year? There just isn't enough time in the day for me so it was very slow getting here.
There are a lot of loose teeth in Atlanta, Georgia right now. It must be an epidemic. It is so sad to think of all the sweet-faced 5 year olds getting those big grown up teeth. This sweet boy is no exception. We had to get one last picture before the top tooth goes. This is one of the first pictures I took of him today and because I am impatient, I went ahead and posted it. I know there will be some more great ones once they download.
You can visit Living Locurto for free printable cards to help with your children's morning routine. There is a version for boys and girls. 
I think only a kid would order "Superman" flavored ice cream. I would have been too scared to try it...especially when chocolate brownie ice cream was available to me.

Grammy got her wish of having a picture with all of her grandchildren. It was quite a challenge when half of them live in Georgia and the other half live in Montana. 
Beautiful weekend for kite flying.
God Bless America
How can it already be July? Especially when I haven't even uploaded all of my Disney pictures...
These are just a few of the sly looks that I get from my little one on a regular basis. I try to capture lots of expressions from children during my sessions because you never know which one is the one that melts Dad's heart or warms up Mom's. These looks are not smiley-smiley but they are the ones that I see so often from my Baby Girl. They are as important as any picture to me especially now that I have had three kids and know how quickly some of this stuff ends. I'm hoping at some point in her life, she won't do what she is doing in the first picture every time she meets a stranger. You never know...
We are home from our vacation (more on that later)! 
Here is my sweet girl waving at you. She was sick so we stayed home while the boys took part in Smyrna's Memorial Day Service downtown on Monday. 
He can be so sweet. Don't let this picture fool you, though. He is a wild one! He is only this still in pictures.
Thank you to all the men and women that serve and have served our great country. I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about the families that have lost their loved ones because they were serving their Nation. I am so appreciative of their sacrifices.
These pictures are courtesy of my husband. He is a Phillipson too so I guess it is okay to use them here!
I caught some funny shots with Mommy. She will be glad I withheld the sticky marshmallow kiss from my blog (Yes, I got it!).
And they won!
Sometimes I think the snack is the best part about playing the game.
I guess my other two have nothing better to do than hang out right here...nowhere near the game being played.
Playoffs begin next week!
