Vacation

We just got back from our vacation to Orlando and happy to report we had an amazing trip!!! We were very nervous about taking Nolan and being gone for 6 days, but we have no regrets!!! We let Brayden pick two parks that he wanted to go to, he chose Legoland and SeaWorld!!! Both great picks!! Legoland had tons of rides and stuff for both boys and SeaWorld had lots to see and some to do!!! I took tons of pictures at the parks and not many of them swimming because Nolan is a dare devil in the water and needs 100% attention at every second!! He loved the small water slide and decided to get fancy and went down on his stomach head first once straight into the water!!! He came up laughing!!! Brayden loved the water, our hotel had a small water park with 4 big slides and a play structure and a pool with a basketball hoop!!! The hotel pool was never too busy and at night when he swam often he was the only one in the pool!!! He was in heaven!! The kids did really well on the airplane to our surprise!! We were very nervous! Brayden sat on his iPad and didn't miss a beat! I feel so blessed to be able to have this time with my family, very stress free and just for enjoyment!! Here are some of the pictures I took:

This is a sign of a good vacation!! Sound asleep on the way home!!!

Don't know where to start?!?

I don't even know where to start when it comes to the boys!!! They are growing non stop, getting bigger than I want and keeping me on my toes!!! 

Brayden is an amazing little kindergartner, doing better than I ever imagined!! I went to his parent teacher conference and the teacher had only good things to say about him and said that he is right where he needs to be, yes this is the boy that one year ago could of cared less if he ever wrote his name again!!! I don't even have to fight him to do homework anymore!!! We just got our invitation to his first Spring Sing and found out his first field trip will be in May!! I am so excited to get to join him in all those things!!!! Brayden is still in swim lessons and Ninja class and soccer started but we missed his first game due to vacation!! The good news is that he moved up in swim lessons and is back in class with his best friend William!! I got to take them both last week and as always it was fun to watch them be silly together!! I miss his preschool class they were such good friends and so close!!! Brayden wants to invite them all to his birthday party so hopefully a reunion soon!!!

Nolan is a typical 16 month old, naughty for mom and dad and an easy going angel for grandma and grandpa or at school!! I wouldn't have it any other way!! He is finally giving kisses on demand and wanting to cuddle and be lovey on his own!!! He is picking up new words all day long and able to communicate more and more every day!!! 

They both love being outside which has made our evenings much easier lately and bed time a breeze!! I was offered a trip to Florida for work and we decided we were all going to go!! Plane ride there went well, the family days were amazing, and so far the morning of day 2 of the conference I am learning a ton!! Brayden picked what he wanted to do on our family days and he chose Legoland and SeaWorld!! Both were great choices with lots of options for the boys to do!!! We learned Brayden grew another inch since February and is now 49 inches tall!! We have one more free afternoon to do whatever the boys want and we are waiting to what Brayden decides!! Nolan has learned and practiced riding in his stroller, we put him in, take him out frequently and he is doing really well with it!!! I am thankful for the family time we got to have on this trip, I so needed to be away and relax a little!!! 

I will post vacation pictures after the trip is over!!!! But here are some pictures of my growing boys!!
