Birthdays and Disney

Friday was our mom's birthday and since she got in free to Disney for her birthday, we decided to go there. One of my mom's friends got the rest of us into Magic Kingdom and we had a lovely time. Even though it was only 47 degrees which is freezing in Florida, we still had a lot of fun. It was Gardner's very first visit to Disney (as evidence by the 1st visit button he is wearing). He loved it. His favorite thing was probably Tigger. He thought it was the greatest thing to see him! We took him on the Peter Pan ride and a couple more. He loved them! All in all, it was a great day for my mom's 38th birthday. She's one year older and wiser too :]

Our little boy is growing up

Gardner has gotten so much bigger the past couple of months. He basically speaks full sentences and according to my dad's child development class, he's way ahead developmentally for his age. He can already count to 10 with prompting and he's only 20 months old. He's also already interested in being potty trained. He tells us to take him to the potty but he doesn't quite know how to recognize the feeling where he has to pee yet, so he just sits there forever without anything happening. But long story short, our long-awaited little boy is growing up way faster than expected. It's a lot of fun to see him grow and learn though :) Only 4 more months and then we're going to do the "baby" to "big boy" transition and get rid of the bottles, binkys, and crib. We'll see how that plays out...

David Archuleta!

Emma and I had the opportunity to go to a fireside that David Archuleta sang and spoke at. It was a very cool experiance. His voice is chilling live and when he sang I Know That My Redeemer Lives, the spirit was extremely strong in the room! He told us how reading the Book of Mormon has gotten him through the times when he was super busy on American Idol and even during his schedule today. We also got the opportunity to meet him and get an autograph. He was such a nice and genuine guy! :)
