We were doing Magic Kingdom again and making our way through Frontierland, Adventureland, Liberty Square, and finishing up a few rides we missed the day before. Grampy, Ryan, Emily, and I raced ahead to ride Big Thunder Mtn Railroad while Grammy and Cooper took their time coming down Main Street. We rode twice quickly before meeting them at the Jungle Cruise. We also had time to ride Aladdin's Magic Carpets before Cooper's appointment at The Pirate's League. Daddy and Grampy took Cooper to Pirate's League and he got to pick out his make-up style (Captain Hook,) they gave him a pirate name (Benjamin Squidcheese,) and he had to take a pirate oath. He had the BEST time. Daddy said he took the whole thing very seriously and had a great time talking to everyone around him. He had the cast members laughing and stayed in character all day! By far the best money we spent the whole week! While they were busy being pirates Grammy grabbed a huge cinnamon roll from the Main St. Bakery while Emily and I grabbed Dole Whip floats. So yummy!<br />

We met up with them when they were all through and rode Pirates of the Caribbean. Its still such a classic and Cooper loved it! Then Grampy, Daddy, and Cooper went to do the Tomorrowland Speedway since we didn't have time the day before. It was definitely one of Cooper's favorite rides. He got to drive the car and laughed the whole time. Emily, Grammy, and I went to the Tiki Room show while we waited and then we all headed for the Haunted Mansion. I was worried Cooper wouldn't like it, but he got off and said "That wasn't so scary, Mommy." We then ate lunch at the Columbia Harbour House. </div>

After Lunch we went back to Fantasyland to ride Small World. We also grabbed Fast Passes to ride Peter Pan again. We watched the show in front of the castle, rode the cars again, watched Philharmagic, and got snacks before watching the parade. After that we had some time to go see the Country Bear Jamboree and ride Pirates again before Peter Pan. Ryan and I rode Space Mtn and before we knew it, it was time for our dinner reservation at Tony's Town Square. Cooper crashed right before dinner and slept until we woke him up for one last Wishes fireworks show. </div>

We had a wonderful trip and I absolutely can't wait to go back. Cooper talks about it all the time and hopes he's "bigger" next time so he can ride the few rides he wasn't tall enough for (its how I get him to eat his veggies.) Thanks for bearing with me as I recapped our trip! Bye Disney World, we miss you!</div>

Goofy, I know, but the trip was picture perfect so it might as well end the same. We did two days at MK due to there being SO MUCH to do! The first day we had scheduled to do Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Fantasyland had recently undergone an expansion and we hit the new stuff first! Enchanted tales with Belle was great. Cooper got to be the footstool and had his picture taken with Belle. Then we did Under the Sea (Little Mermaid) and Peter Pan (a major favorite for Cooper as we were in our Peter Pan costume that day.)<br />

Before grabbing dinner we met the Princesses (Rapunzel, Princess Aurora, and Cinderella.) Cinderella is Cooper's girl so we had to go meet her. She did a great job talking to him and he even sat in her lap for pictures. She let us go with a kiss on the cheek! After that we grabbed a spot for the parade and fireworks. Cooper still talks about how much he loved the fireworks and the projection show on the castle before was so awesome! </div>

We had to get down to the bus an hour before we had the last two days because we had a special breakfast with Donald at the Tusker House! This was our only character meal (no one in our group had done one before) and we were so excited! We got to walk through the park before it opened and got to take some pictures without anyone else walking through!<br />

After breakfast we walked on to the Kilimanjaro Safari (which was so cool!) and headed down to meet Chip and Dale, Baloo and King Louie, and hang with Donald again. After that we saw the Festival of the Lion King (one of Ryan's favorite things of the trip) and then I went and rode Expedition Everest by myself (chickens.) </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We met in Dinoland and rode the Triceratop spin. Ryan, Emi, and I rode Dinosaur, then Ryan, Emi and Grampy rode it again. We saw the Nemo musical and grabbed snacks before getting a spot for the parade! The parade was great ( our spot was awesome) and we had fastpasses for the safari one more time! Emi and I tried to ride Everest before we had to leave, but there wasn't enough time. We had a fancy dinner reservation to get to! </div>

It had been a long time since any of us had been to this park, so no one really knew what to expect! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://seayfamily.smugmug.com/Category/2013-Bionic/i-GjTJPGQ/0/M/DSCN5876-M.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://seayfamily.smugmug.com/Category/2013-Bionic/i-GjTJPGQ/0/M/DSCN5876-M.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the bus ride to Epcot!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We got there before they opened the turnstiles and were in a great place to hit the busy rides first! While Grammy, Grampy and Emi took Cooper to the Land pavilion, Ryan and I got fastpasses for everyone for Test Track. We headed over to meet them and ride Soarin' first. Well, we found out quickly that Cooper was just short of tall enough. So Grammy, Grampy and Emi rode and we got a baby swap pass for Ryan and me. While they were riding we rode Living with the Land, a great boat ride through the agricultural testing area in Epcot. Cooper loved it! When they were done we swaped off and they rode Living with the Land while Ryan and I rode Soarin'. When we were off we all headed to Test Track! Grammy and Cooper opted to skip (Coop not being tall enough for that one either) and get some early morning cotton candy instead (it is Disney after all.)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After Test Track, we went over to the Seas pavilion to ride Nemo! It was really cute and it was one of Cooper's favorites! Imagination with Figment was next and then lunch at Sunshine Seasons. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We went back to the resort for a nap (and a lot of unanticipated extra walking) but before we knew it it was time to head back to Epcot. Grammy, Cooper and I went to catch Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush before the Seas pavilion closed (at 5pm that evening.) Grampy, Ryan, and Emi had more Test Track fastpasses to use and while waiting for those headed to Spaceship Earth. </div>

After Test Track we all took a trip into the World Showcase! Mexico and the Gran Fiesta Tour! We love Donald Duck and the Three Caballeros! We all wandered around in search of dinner around the world. Grammy and Grampy ate in Mexico and Ryan, Emi and I ate in Morocco. Cooper (being a 3 year old ) ate in America. </div>

After walking around the world we stopped in at The Toy Soldier in the UK to meet Pooh and Piglet! Cooper wasn't receptive to Buzz and Woody (two characters he loves,) but they were all he talked about so we thought we'd give the character meets another go. So glad we did, Cooper gave both Pooh and Piglet big hugs and stood in between them for pictures! It was so sweet!! </div>

We didn't really know what to expect, but since I'd been planning (like a crazy person) we knew we needed to be there before park opening to get in line. We conquered the mad rush to Toy Story Mania and got fastpasses and rode once in stand-by with practically no wait. Cooper loved it (rode with Mommy the first time.)<br />

After that awesome ride (Cooper's first Disney ride!) we headed over to meet Buzz and Woody. Cooper was really excited (Buzz is his favorite) but when we got up there he refused to look at them and wouldn't cooperate at all. He managed to smile with me holding him, but afterwards it was ALL he talked about! </div>

After that, we headed over to Toy Story Mania to use our fastpasses. We then had time to ride the Great Movie Ride before grabbing lunch. Cooper was super unsure at first and his fears were realized when the cowboys came out and stated having a real (not) live shootout over our ride car. When the bank went up in flames, he lost it. He cried for most of the rest of the ride, with short breaks for certain non-scary scenes. He still talks about the scary ride. After that, we ate some lunch and Ryan and I went to ride Tower of Terror! We stopped in for the Indiana Jones stunt show (Cooper napped through it) and then Ryan, Emily and I headed to the Rock-N-Rollercoaster to use the last of our fastpasses for the day. </div>

We met up with Grammy, Grampy and Cooper while they watched the parade and then Grammy, Cooper and I went to the Disney Jr. Live on Stage show while the others did Star Tours. We all saw Muppets 3D (so cute) after that and went to the Studio Catering Co. for dinner. After a quick meal we headed out to the Streets of America to watch the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The lights were beautiful and we got some great pictures! After we had our fill of lights we crossed the park to get into the Fantasmic theater! The show was so cool! It was our first glimpse of Mickey, and Cooper was just in awe the whole show! The park closed after the show and we went back to the resort to get ready for our day at Epcot!</div>

There are too many awesome details that I don't want to forget. And I'll leave so much out if I just skip through and post it all in one big ramble.<br />
<br />
So here goes, day one consisted of our flight down to Disney, checking out the resort, and Downtown Disney. We spent the night in Birmingham and left at the crack of dawn to get to the airport. I mean, woke up at 4:30am early. But getting up early is easier when you are headed somewhere awesome like Disney!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The flight was great (non-stop flight) and we landed in Orlando in no time! The Orlando airport is the happiest airport ever! Mickey everywhere and so many people arriving are headed to the happiest place on Earth. </div>

We followed the signs to the Magic Express and walked right onto the big bus! On the way to the resort we got to watch a cute film about the parks and characters. Before we knew it we were at the All-Start Sports resort!</div>

Cooper loved the resort! There were sports pictures and sports themed everything! He watched some cartoons while we checked in then we went to the food court for lunch while we waited for our room. After lunch we let Cooper run around on the football field with some other kids (it was probably his favorite part!)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After getting settled in our rooms and taking some naps we headed to Downtown Disney! There were so many shops and restaurants! We had a blast in the World of Disney store, looking at all the pins, and checking out the decorations! We had Cooper's silhouette made (so precious) and ate dinner at Earl of Sandwich (so yummy.) After we all picked up a few happies we made our way back to the resort for some much needed sleep! Next up Hollywood Studios!</div>

Cooper is really into Christmas. Last year he had fun but got tired of opening presents by the end of the day and was hard to keep quiet in church. This year he was full force the whole way! He had a blast doing Christmas stuff leading up to the big day and now that he can spell his name, he had fun finding all his presents under Momma Sue's tree. He also liked making a case for opening them right away. Church was great this year, he liked the children's message and singing all the songs. Santa was a huge deal this year and he loved that he got presents that weren't "poopy prizes." I love that he enjoys spending time with all our family and can enjoy all the wonderful things about the Christmas season.<br />

The month of December was so filled with stuff that it absolutely flew by! We started off with gingerbread house decorating with the Oxford Moms and Tots, met Tony LaRussa for a book signing, and attended tons of parties!<br />

This year we tried to teach Cooper a little more about the meaning of the holiday since he's getting old enough to understand these things. I don't know if any of it sunk in, but he loved seeing all his family and decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving Day was over!<br />

My mom made him this Peter Pan costume at Cooper's request. She continues to exceed the expectations thrust upon her by a type A, perfectionist 3 year old. He could do anything and I could not be mad at him as long as he was in this costume. Its so adorable. I know, I sound like the worst braggy mom ever, but seriously...he's Peter freaking Pan.<br />

He is now a full fledged underwear wearing (but not always), fort building, video game mastering, spelling, big kid. He is smart as a whip and has a mouth just as smart (it usually gets us into big trouble, while mommy and daddy try not to laugh.) He loves cars, watching movies, playing games, working puzzles, and playing baseball. He speaks like a 30 year old and often can argue his way out of a paper bag. Jumping on his bed and wrestling are his favorite things to do with daddy. He is all boy this one. Three has been challenging so far, but I know one day it will get easier, so I am trying to enjoy this spunky kid for all he is (even if he absolutely wears me out.) Here are some pictures of our birthday week. Diva, Grampy, Grammy, and Emily came into town to celebrate and we had his party at Pirate Adventures.<br />

We are very much "beach" people. But seeing as how Ryan is in school we haven't had a chance to take a beach trip as a family with Cooper. So while we were there realizing how much we had missed the beach we were plotting our next trip (with Cooper.) We rented a condo in Seagrove (right down the road from Seaside) and invited some cousins to come along. We had the BEST time! Cooper thoroughly enjoyed every part of the beach. Sand, waves, swimming, no schedule, all of the awesome food...and his cool room. We ate, played, swam, and knocked over a thousand sand castles. We are so glad he had fun and can't wait to take him back as soon as we can!<br />

We love spending time at the lake and have all sorts of fun that can only be had with lake water in your hair and a bit of a sunburn (though NEVER on my child). Cooper tubed again this year and loved it, but we have a bit of a problem with him letting us go faster than a crawl (he is only 2 after all). We made smores and ate all our favorite lake foods. I'm pretty sure Cooper cleaned out Willow Pond on hushpuppies! Kayaking was a new favorite activity for Coop this year..he asked to go out in the kayaks constantly!<br />

After a few boat rides we were on our way to St. Louis! We hadn't taken Cooper to St. Louis since he was 9 months old and we were so excited to see his reaction to the baseball game (a favorite activity for us) and the Zoo!<br />

Not been in town for more than a week at a time for three months....it is ridiculous! But here's to catching up and getting through a summer's worth of blogging before Cooper starts school next week!<br />
<br />
We followed up our trip to meet Thomas the Train with a ride on the Chattanooga incline and a romp through a civil war battle field site. Cooper ran around till he was worn out and we got some great hiking in!<br />

The trains, books, songs, DVD's are all on regular rotation. You could say we have quite the Thomas obsession. So, when we heard about A Day with Thomas (where you actually ride on Thomas the train) we had to check it out. We decided to go to Chattanooga with Grammy, Grampy, and Emi so we could all enjoy a good weekend of train fun! Cooper had the best time riding the train! The only thing we were sad about was that it was so short. We also got to see Sir Topham Hat and they had all kinds of fun booths and stations set up. We could have easily spent as much time as we wanted there! Definitely a good day!!<br />

Feels like I was just ordering his first little backpack and worrying about how Cooper would do without me. Now my sweet boy loves his teachers, his friends at school, and paint!<br />
We had a great year with Mrs. Elizabeth and Ms. Glenda. Cooper absolutely adores them both and I am so excited that they are moving up to the older 2's class next year! Here are some pictures of Cooper's first and last day this year:<br />

There was food all over the place, art vendors with all kinds of cool stuff (we already picked up a few Christmas presents), and music! Also, there were things for Cooper to ride...the best part! He was so good sitting in his stroller while we walked around looking at the art booths and eating lunch so we took him over to catch a ride on the double decker bus!<br />

We also headed over to the kids area and daddy rode the train with Cooper! If there is a train anywhere within a mile of us, Cooper better be headed to ride it or there will be blood. But seriously, he loves trains. </div>

Cooper follows football, hockey, soccer, and especially baseball. He loves talking about baseball teams he likes and he begs to go to games every day. So when we can, we take him to watch Ole Miss play. He loves to sit in the outfield or the seats and asks questions and cheers the whole time! On Sundays they let the kids run the bases after the game and Cooper asks if he can run the bases from the second we arrive.<br />

We had more egg hunts this year than I could count and by the time we got to Easter Sunday Cooper was over it! He did great at his school hunt and at the one the Oxford Park Commission put on (always awesome.) He had a blast and loved piling eggs into his basket.<br />

Easter weekend we had Grammy, Grampy, and Emi come stay with us. We ate, played, and did everything Cooper wanted to do for a whole weekend. He had a blast and loved getting a basket from the Easter Bunny! I think I'm still on a sugar high from the candy left in my house! Cooper still wanted to talk all about Easter for a few weeks after and I know next year he'll be ready!</div>

Cooper got to hunt with the kids his age and had the best time picking up eggs. He really got into it this year! He was even more excited when he found out the eggs came with stuff inside! His personal favorite were the little bubble bottles! We hung out with all the other kids and had a great picnic too. The house and property were so cool and we can't wait to go back and explore some more.<br />

It was the first time Coop has been out there since last summer so I wasn't sure how he would do on the plane or if he would remember being at their house and sleep well. But he did so great (even when his DVD player died 30 minutes into the first flight!) He was so good while we were there and got to do so many fun things. He loves spending time with Diva and Pawpaw especially because we don't get to see them all the time (that also gives them a bigger reason to spoil him while we're there ;)) Here are some highlights of our fabulous vacation to the beautiful city of Midland!<br />

While we support many schools in athletics, Murray State will always hold a special place in our hearts! Every year we try to make it to at least one game (and the OVC tournament) to cheer on the Racers. This year that game happened to be the Bracket Buster match against St. Mary's. The same game that the famed announcer Dickie V came to visit Murray for the first time to call the game. We had so much fun seeing everyone and getting to catch up with a few friends we don't get to see that often. It also made the trip sweeter when we beat St. Mary's pretty convincingly on a national stage. Go Racers!<br />
