A toddler's dream come true...

Jackson got to go to a super fun birthday party last Saturday for his good friends Roman and Delaney. It was at a gymnastics place and I think all of the kids had an absolute blast!!! What could be more fun that trampolines, foam pads, obstacle course, balloons, and cupcakes!?



























Could these cupcakes be any cuter??? I think not!





Happy Birthday Roman and Laney!!!

Brynlee has a new best friend!!! Our good friends Dave and Liz had their baby just over a week ago. He is so adorable and so small!! Can't wait for these two to grow up together.

Brynlee and Rudger



Pretty crazy to think 2 years ago right now we had no kids and now look...



Jackson's latest obsession...mommy's shoes







Cute Jackson started sleeping in a queen size bed. It has been in his room for over a year, but last Sunday after he said his prayers he just crawled into it and wanted the sheet on. We let him stay and since then he has wanted to sleep there for every nap and every night. He has not crawled out the bed once. He is sure growing up fast!



Brynlee is getting stronger and stronger everyday! She rolls all over the place now and is loving her bumbo chair.





Jackson keeps busy...






Love this picture of Jackson and one of his friends

Disney Cruise...

So after a few magical days at Disney World we boarded the Disney Magic for a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise. It was seriously ideal!! There are tons of activities, movies, and live shows that are fabulous! I was really surprised how even at 22 months, Jackson LOVED the live shows each night. Jackson also loved all the characters on the ship. It really was a dream vacation!!!

We all wore our "Widmer Cruisin" shirts the day we boarded the ship...all 24 of us!!

Here is the original Widmer clan



After a few days at Disneyworld Jackson was now used to Mickey Mouse and when it was our turn he ran up and hugged him...priceless!!



Where's Brynlee???



Jackson could not get enough of Mickey...one more time with Brynlee this time


I love my mommy!!





Boarding...



As I said earlier, it was all of my family (22 of us) and my sister Angela's cute in laws came too (24 in all). They have been life long family friends and it was fun having them along!




Pretty crazy to think that these 2...


created this...


All on board...let the partying begin!!! This was at one of the top decks that is actually a swimming pool and then they cover it for more standing room during parties. Pretty cool.


Goodbye Orlando!


One night there was a hypnotist show and my sister in law was one of the people on stage. She was hilarious and totally into it!!! She definitely stepped out of her comfort zone after being hypnotized and was so fun to watch! It brought back many memories because Bob and I actually met at a hypnotist show...almost 7 years ago!




Edward and Benny our servers for all our meals. They were great always entertaining the kids with riddles and games.








Jackson loved the towel creations...actually I think he liked the chocolate they left next to the towel even more.







I could take pictures of this girl all day long...seriously, do they get any cuter than this!?! I think not!


Gotta love room service









Aila and Brynlee...7 months apart

Formal Night

Man he's handsome!!!



Cozumel Mexico














Pirates IN the Caribbean







Castaway Cay (Disney's Island)


My poor sister in law Tonee took a bad step when getting back on the ship after Cozumel and hurt her foot. She didn't think she rolled it but was not sure what she did. Well she iced it and did her best the last few days and when she got home she decided she had better get it checked out and it turned out she broke her ankle in 2 places. Poor thing!!! This was one of the rare times she was in a wheel chair, she usually walked on it.




Kim and Mike went parasailing






All packed up and off the boat. Kim entertaining all the little ones.


The boys saying goodbye



The Disney Cruise was a perfect vacation for our big group and I think every person had a great vacation!!! Hopefully we can do it again someday!!!
