Moments/These are the days/You're gonna miss this

And whatever other song you can think of that talks about the memories we make and special little moments we have being with our children. That is what this weekend was all about as we had alot of fun playing together. This weekend was long but fun (That's what she said [just a little somthing for all you fellow office fans!]). For those of you who don't share the love for our favorite show, just disregard that last comment as you won't get it. We went to the HHS (Harmony High School, where I work) football game Friday night. It was the first home game of the year and unfortunately they just got worked! I didn't get to see much though, as I was manning a table with my Teenage Republicans club seeking donations and helping people get registered to vote or update their registration. For those of you who need to do that, get it done ASAP I know our deadline is 10/6 which is this week!!! Anyways on Saturday we went to the Magic Kingdom in the morning for a special annual pass holders premier of the new Tinkerbell movie. It was really nice as we were given treats, little tinkerbell toys and even got to have a meet and greet after the movie with the director, producer, writer & of course the fairies!!! The girls enjoyed it and Kylie even won a prize during Tinkerbell trivia. She was given a nice tinkerbell card making kit. She was so excited about the prize that she just couldn't wait to use it. We went over to Epcot in the afternoon to walk around the world and meet the princesses. This was really nice as we got to spend time with Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Aladin, Jasmine, Genie, Snow White, Dopey and of course Mulan! Mulan was the whole reason for the trip over to Epcot as Reagan is officially obsessed with that movie. Mulan was awesome, as we were the only ones there waiting (we're such geeks!) for her when she arrived, she spent probably 5 minutes with just Kylie and Reagan. The girls just ate it up! She walked with them holding hands, took the usual photos and gave them her autograph but she also sat down on the bench where I was hanging out and just visited with the girls. She also gave Reagan a big kiss which left a mark on Reagans cheek, soooo cute! I had a chance to go to the UF Ole Miss game, but I'm so glad I kept my promise to the girls, as these moments are the ones we'll all cherish. They were just so happy and I would've missed out on all the Smiles, laughter and excitement as well as cheers! Reagan so loves the cheers Kylie does that she is constantly reciting them and all day as we went around the park and even as we ate lunch in the restaurant she was just cheering at the top of her lungs which everyone got a kick out of! Kylie just giggles and giggles when Reagan goes into cheerleading mode (as long as Reagan isn't yelling/cheering in her ear which she does on occasion). It is just so precious! I don't think we'll be able to afford to do the Disney passes again next year but what a great purchase they were for us this year. We have become total Disney geeks, as we constantly are spending our family time in one of the parks, but they are just so fun. Well afterwards we had a surprise 30th bday party to attend for a friend who lives near us. Kylie was so excited to use her new card making kit she won and made our friends bday card! After the party Amber & I went out with our wonderful friends the Hulings, who we hadn't seen in forever. We had a good time down at the comedy warehouse on Pleasure Island. It was the last night as Disney is closing all the clubs on PI and we had never been but heard good things. We were able to see 2 funny shows and had a blast laughing at some of the crazy drunk people wondering from the other clubs. Well this post has gotten very long so I'll wrap up in just a sec. I have figured recently that this would be my journal as we've been counseled to write regularly in a journal and I suck at doing it. So occasionally I may have these long posts but I want to be sure to preserve all these special little moments. Finally today after church and naps Kylie and I painted her new little birdhouse which was alot of fun as well. Reagan is glued to the TV watching Beauty & the Beast and Amber is at her stake youth meetings so this daddy daughter time was nice. I'll try to get as many of this weekends photos posted as possible so you can all enjoy these moments as well. We are so blessed to have such sweet little girls and I know that "These are the days to remember" and intend on making the most of every "moment". I also don't need the song to tell me I'm "gonna miss this" as I can't help but think of how sad it'll be when they get to that age when it's no longer cool to spend the entire weekend just hanging out with Mom & Dad. I hope I haven't put you all to sleep and want you to know we love and miss you all!

PS Amber heard the babies heart beat this week and we'll go together next month right before our cruise to see if they can determine the sex! As soon as we know we'll pass it along
