Avery with Chicken Pox

Exactly 3 weeks later right in the middle of Vacation Bible School, poor Avery got chicken pox. Not as mild as Bryce's case.

Bryce with chicken pox

We hadn't immunized Bryce against chicken pox for fear of an allergic reaction. We were kind of glad he caught it although we have no idea where he got it. He got a pretty mild case of it.

Disney World 2009

We traveled to Disney World in May. Kaiden was 5, Bryce 3, and Avery 5 months. It was the perfect ages to go. It was all very magical. We spend the mornings in the parks and returned to our hotel at 3 everyday for swimming and rest time and were in bed by 7:00 every night. We saw none of the Disney night life. Mike and I decided we would come back and enjoy all the fancy restaurants and nighttime parades and fireworks when we didn't have kids and it all wasn't so hard. Then we decided we would probably just sit in those fancy restaurants and reminisce about being there with our kids and forgetting how much work it was! We stayed in the Boardwalk Villas in a 2 bedroom. It was so nice to have the kitchen to do cooking and fixing food for Bryce. We had such a good time we are hoping to return sometime next year.

Bryce's new bike

Bryce got a bike (he calls it his Ironman bike because it's red) for finally learning how to go to the bathroom all by himself.

Underwater Easter Egg Hunt

The kids participated in an underwater Easter egg hunt. They had a great time! We can't do regular Easter egg hunts because of all the candy. This egg hunt had just toys so it was perfect.

Kaiden's 5th birthday

Kaiden is so proud of being 5! Kaiden as Superman!

Rainforest cafe

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe to celebrate Jaimea and Kaiden's birthdays. Although it was a bit chaotic because Avery was not happy and Kaiden couldn't figure out why the food wasn't served immediately, it was a huge success!!! It was the first time we had eaten out in a restaurant since since May of 2008! Bryce had been getting horrible rashes and hives every time we entered a restaurant so we had just quit going. He did great with no rashes and no hives. We were very glad that Jarren and Mikie met us to entertain the boys and hold Avery!

Celebrating Kaiden's 5th Birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge

We gave Kaiden a choice of having a birthday party or going to the Great Wolf Lodge as a family. He chose the Great Wolf Lodge. We stayed in a room that had a cabin in it where the boys slept. It was a lot of fun!
