I had a great time on Sunday with a fun family! Thank you! Here’s a peak for you. They rest of them are up on www.moreygirl.com!



Come visit me at Christ Alive Community Church on Saturday, November 7, from 9am-3pm. The church is about a half mile east of Kickapoo on Rt 150. There are going to be tons of vendors there, including: Pampered Chef, Usborne Books, Avon, Watkins, Tupperware, Stampin Up, Twisted Chicken Jewelry, and a lot more! They are also going to be serving breakfast and lunch at the church too.
Here is the special that MoreyGirl is running:


We had a lot of fun on Sunday. It was a absolutely perfect day, and that’s pretty crazy for this year’s weather.


The guys wanted to go inside so we had a fun little photoshoot with Maggie:)

Then things got a little crazy!

You can see the rest of them on moreygirl.com in the photography section under the Cecil family.
Yes, we went to Disney World. No, Matt didn’t go. But he didn’t want to go, so we left him at home to work. So says Slone.
Here Slone is in Buzz and Woody’s little house. He thought the aliens were funny:) Seriously, that’s the funny face.

Then we had dinner with Mickey Mouse. Slone thought this was great, and it was! I’m all for the characters coming to you instead of you standing in line to see them.

I love this of Bo. This was the last night and the first time he let any of them come near him. It was really cute to see him get over being shy and scared and actually enjoy it.

See all the excitement on their faces when they got to meet their hero, Lightning McQueen (or Queen as we call him)? Jeez, that was money well spent.

Slone did think that the Green Army Man was cool. That’s how he even signs his autograph….The Green Army Man. I know, we got his autograph.

This was how Bo spent most of the trip. Fingers in his mouth. It was so stinkin’ hot there that the boys were pretty worn out by noon. This was on the Safari ride at Animal Kingdom.


I love this little snapshot. I love that Matt has a half-way smile on his face, at least it seems like he’s enjoying himself. I love that we’ve been married for eight years this month. I love that Slone has been a part of our family for almost five years. I love that he loves preschool. And I love that he had to have a picture of everyone in his family for homework. I love that Bo has been a part of our family for almost 3 years. I love that he’s crazy and happy. I love that this picture shows my family and all the chaos that comes with it…did you check out my desk!?!
I know, I know, Labor Day was a long time ago. But in my defense, the party was the weekend after, so I’m not really that late with posting:) Here’s Henry chowin’ down on some macaroni salad.

Taylor is never really sure about me with a camera at first.

Henry’s not really ever sure about Taylor at first either:)

The bigger boys had fun with the football. Can’t hardly believe that they are old enough to be in jfl.

Mom made all the great food. She’s always ready for a party.

Bo and Taylor played really well together. They were pretending to ride the little fourwheeler.

Then there was a new little fourwheeler. Slone was so excited!

It was a great afternoon.
So Dad bought a steer at the Fall Festival the other night. The boys thought it was great! I’m not really sure they understand what was going to happen to the poor cow but they loved every minute of it:) So much so that Bo wanted to do this…
When Dad asked him if they should just let the cow run (with Bo on the steer), Bo wanted him too! That’s the little boy that they bought the steer from. I remember him as the same size as Slone. It won’t be long until Slone is doing all that stuff!
After the sale was over, we went up and rode the rides. It’s funny how they know exactly which ones they want to ride on. They also love the games. It sure seems like a lot of money for not much fun (time-wise). They definitely have fun. They the little car/bike merry-go-round first. Bo thinks he’s king, at least of the horn anyway.

Slone acts like his dad and tries to play it cool. But he secretly enjoys it just as much as Bo does.

Then they took a ride on the train. It was a little dull, but Bo enjoyed it nonetheless.


Hope everyone had a great of a weekend as we did!
So I didn’t think I’d be this emotional. I really am excited for him to go, just not so excited that he is without me. Or is it: I am without him? I’m not really sad, not happy, just nervous. But I’m nervous about everything. I try not to be. I hope he doesn’t take after me. I wish he’s have the confidence that his dad does.
He told us last night that he didn’t want to go. We finally got him conviced otherwise. It’s amazing what a new shirt, shoes and backpack will do for a kid.
Bo was pretty bummed he didn’t get to ride the bus. He keeps saying “own cool” and making a big pouty face. But he’s saying “Slone school”, like Slone’s at school and Bo’s not.
He got back this afternoon, says he’s going back tomorrow! So overall, a pretty good day. I wonder if he’ll even remember this day…

Is he not the cutest?


And yes, someday he’ll be mortified. But what’s an aunt to do when her nephew is this sweet?
