Disney World October 2010

When Jordan was 10 years old, we took him to Disney World.  Jared was 8 months old.  We took Jared 3 years ago and he was dying to go back, so guess what?  This trip Jared was 10 years old and Jacob 8 months old!   A decade passed in between in just a blink of an eye ...

Before we even pulled out of the driveway, David had sat on the my sunglasses and bent them.  Then I dropped them and got a big scratch on them.  I thought to myself, "Hmmm, wonder how all this is gonna go?"  I wasn't sure just how the trip was going to go.  This would be the first big trip for Jacob.  

Outside Hollywood Studios waiting for the ferry to take us to dinner.

Jacob ready to go!!!

Jacob and Daddy

 

I love the above 2 pictures.  Jacob grabbing Jared and then giving him a big 'ol kiss!!

Our dining experience summed up in 2 pics

A shot from the ferry.

This is what happens when you go to bed with wet hair and wake up the next morning ... 

It took a few minutes, but we WERE able to get the craziness under control :))

Jacob made a new friend while at Hollywood Studios ...

Our day at Animal Kingdom (my personal favorite)

The safari was the BEST!  Way better than any zoo I've been to ... here's a snapshot of the boys next to me in the jeep ... off to see the wild on our safari!

 

The ducks were a hoot.  They would just swim back and forth, back and forth, like they were teasing everyone :)))

Can I just say, the gorillas were almost a little too close for my comfort!

Jared and Jacob playing at Dino-Land Bone Yard

We kidnapped Clifford from Gram's house, and he wanted proof that he joined us at Disney.

Next stop, Epcot.

We didn't get as many pics ... but this was the general consensus when it was all done.  Jared thought it was awesome and Jacob thought "eh, it was okay." ... Dad was just along for the ride :))

Our final stop, Magic Kingdom.

This was David's FAVORITE!  I know it looks like a trashcan.  It IS a trashcan.  His name is PUSH, and he talks to people.  It really was fun.

Can't go to Disney without seeing Mickey and friends!

Jacob was like this the whole time.  Such a sweet boy.

Space Mountain.  One of Jared's favorites.

Jared on "The Island."

Look who else was there!  One of my best friend's Heidi :))

Sean and Jared on a rock.

Okay, I just LOVE this picture!

Buddies.

Mom and Dad were gracious to let us stay with them on the way down to Disney and then on the way back.  They took care of Kippers for us.  It was great having a little time with them.

And that's it for our Disney Trip!

What IN THE WORLD Have We Been Doing???

I realize that I have not updated the blog in QUITE a while.  I've had a hound-dog on my case about it.  I won't name names (LaDonna), but truthfully, I need to get this thing caught up!  :))  Since David's surprise party, I've just been keeping my head above water with taking care of Jacob and working during the day.  Hopefully, I will be able to give you a snapshot or two of what's been going on in our world.

Jacob is growing out-of-control fast.  I have to rearrange and clean out his drawers almost daily because of how fast he is growing!  I have a closet full of boy baby stuff that is piling up by the minute!  If you know of anyone who could really use boy baby clothes (a boy born in the winter) ... then let me know!

Jared is doing GREAT in school. He got straight A's last nine weeks.  We are so very proud of him!

David is also doing well in school ... we are so proud of him too!!! :))  As an extra, he will be refereeing again this season with wrestling.  He's really looking forward to it.  Okay, so enough with the catching up ... here are some fun pics to summarize the past few months!

Here's a picture from July.  No, we are not trying to keep him from talking ... he loves putting your fingers in his mouth and chomping down!

July 8th, if I'm not mistaken ... getting our pic taken in Wal-Mart after LaDonna got her ears pierced.  Woo hoo!!  It was fun to have Kate in town at the same time!

Jacob enjoying his Jump-A-Roo in August

6 months old in August!

Jared is the BEST Big Brother EVER!!!!

My poor little fella after he had his shots :(( So sad ...

I put a washcloth on his head to keep his fever down.

Nanny, Ted, and Maria got the opportunity to come to TN in August, so we went to Ten Mile to see them.  Unfortunately, it was the day he ran his fever after his shots, but he hung in there ... it was so sweet to see him and Nanny together!

Here's the CUTEST new outfit that Aunt Maria got him ... :))

The Newvine Boys

Jared gets the new Halo Reach ... paid for it with his own $$$ ... and boy was it expensive!!!

Okay, so it's October ... 8 months old and Jacob is rolling over, getting up onto his knees, and rocking back and forth on them!  He also is learning to sit up from this position :))  However, still no teeth.  Mommy is very thankful :))

Last but not least at the moment ... our basket picture!  We took pictures of Jared in the basket when he was baby.  Jacob LOVES being pushed around in it!

Okay, so to come, hopefully soon ... Disney Pictures!

Thanks everyone for your patience!!!

Love you!  The Newvine Family
