Family Matters

Kirk and his cousin Bella went to Disney on Ice in Charleston on Saturday, February 24.  Kirk and Bella had a great time watching some of their favorite characters skate on the ice.  Kirk was a "little bit scared" of the Genie from Aladdin (because he came out of the lamp with a big bang of smoke) and he didn't like the "big shark on 4 legs (because there were 2 people skating inside it!) that chased Dori and Marlin (from Finding Nemo).  He thought Pumba from the Lion King was hilarious on ice skates, and he of course had a stroke when the Toy Story characters came out.  He was really good, and sat in his own seat most of the time.  He was even a trooper through the super crowded mall afterwards.  He has been pretending to "skate" around the house, and makes me "take a seat" to watch him.  He is so funny!  

Does he look excited for the show, or what?

I promised him a treat if he used the potty the whole day and stayed dry.....so this is him smiling very hard with his $12.00 Nemo snow cone, which was the messiest thing I think I've ever tried to help him eat.  I tried my best to talk him into the cotton candy, but it didn't work!

Kirk and Bella focusing on the show....

Kirk was waving and screaming his guts out at the end of the show when all of the characters came out together!  He kept saying, "Hello Buzz, Kirk is right here!"  Haha!

We met Kirk's cousin Holden and his Mommy Chanda at Billy Bob's on Sunday, February 25. Kirk and Holden are only 1 day apart in age, and they are definitely both too big for their britches right now!  They were both insistent on trying things that were way too big for them, but it is so hilarious to watch them try.  Kirk and Jeremy are playing a game in the picture above, and how funny is the picture below of Kirk on the motorcycle?  Why is it that boys love to drive anything?

Watching them in the ball pit was hysterical!  They were both so crazy and loved it so much!  The picture above was taken when they first jumped in, and they were both screaming their heads off and jumping all around.  The picture below is so funny....they were sinking and laughing so hard they couldn't get up!  I love boys!

Holden loved the basketball game, and he even made a few baskets with his Mommy's help!

They both had a great time.  

Kirk had a fun weekend playing with his cousins.  We're so thankful to have them around and to get to spend time with them.  It's so fun watching them all grow up together!
