Parents, a princess and a pirate

Good time with family tonight!

The kids and I met with Aunt Brenda, Uncle Jack, their son Jason and his wife Sara for dinner tonight. They drove up from Cincinnati to pick up cookies from Kylie. We met at Cazuela's, our favorite Mexican restaurant, which is 2 blocks from our house. We all enjoyed a delicious dinner and margaritas. Our favorite waitress, Vickie, took good care of us too. She loves to talk to Kylie and Matthew in Spanish. Matthew ignores her and Kylie does her best to talk back to Vickie. After dinner, everyone came back to our house for a tour and beer. Good times!!

Last night I took the kids (Brett is in Houston for work, gets back late tonight) to church to watch the new Veggie Tales movie. They enjoyed it. Several of our friends were there as well so that was fun for all of us. And the kids won a door prize - a big plastic popcorn bucket with candy, box of popcorn and a gift card to the local video store. Score!

Ran 8 miles this morning. That made 25 for the week. Much more then normal but scheduling had me run 8 on Sunday and 8 on Saturday. No pain and I felt great the whole way. I'm gaining some confidence in my running again.

Kylie had a b-day party at the local roller skating rink today. She seemed to have a good time. Nearly every girl in her class was there. She has another party tomorrow at the skating rink again! Her poor knees will be so sore from falling!

We decided on a vacation for this summer. We're going to stay outside of Orlando in a 2 bedroom and taking Brett's parents with us. Since we'll be near Disney, we'll go there for one or two days. Brett and I signed up to volunteer a day to earn a free admission to Disneyworld. We'll be working at the Children's Museum in April. Pretty good deal, work a day at the museum, earn a free day to Disney - a $85 value! It also happens to be a Star Wars weekend at Hollywood Studios so maybe we'll go there for a day for Matthew. There is also a 5k and obstacle endurance race through Animal Kingdom on our last night there. I'm hoping to take part in that with Brett - how fun!

So, that's about it with our family. Got you all updated, Aunt Brenda!
