Animal Kingdom #2
The Hydock clan traveled to Animal Kingdom today since is was Labor Day and everyone had the day off from all their normal responsibilities. The park was not crowded at all. The boys and I have been to this park over summer but DH has not been since it first opened. He was pleasantly surprised. The kids and I got to experience more of the park that we missed the first time around. Everyone, including Zane, went on the Kali River Rapids . Daddy and Zane got the most wet. John and I got fast passes and took turns on the ride, Everest.
A pleasant surprise for the boys and I were the Silver Back Gorillas. First I did not know they were at the park. Second, one was lounging by the view window and another one was walking around his territory for the world to see him. It was really neat to see them so up close and almost personal. The boys were impressed.
The Lounger
The Roamer
We finally sat through the entire showing of "It's Tough To Be A Bug".
The boys and our friend Hannah freaked out the first time we went so we had to leave. This time around DH held Zane and I had a boy under each arm hiding at the scary parts. It was another memory maker day at Disney!
We make a beautiful family!

Oops......I Did It Again
This has not been one of my best days. I really do not want to blog about this BUT my blog is about what is real in my household therefore I feel like I need to confess. Anyway......most of you will find out anyway when DH rags me about it. I will not live this down for a long long while. At least until it is fixed which will be a long long time because I just do not have the money to fix it. Okay...scroll down and view the pics.............
Do you see it? Well look at the next picture and maybe it will become clearer.
Now can you tell what this is?
This is John's Toyota smashed in. I accidently backed into the car with Big Red. John was off riding his bike and I thought he took the car. Apparently I was wrong, wrong, wrong. This is not the first or second time I have backed into the car...many of you may remember. I will never live this down. I am not a bad driver I just need to pay attention more to where that small little car is parked. Darn Little Red!
So there...I have put it out there for everyone to know. Please no heckling. I feel guilty enough without all your comments...and you know who I mean. YES YOU!!!!

More Birthday Celebrations
The special birthday couple
We went to Grandma Barnett's and Uncle Carl's house to celebrate both birthdays. I remember as a child loving the moments when Uncle Carl arrived. He was the funnest Uncle. He gave the best presents. He was always lively and very fun. I am glad to report things have not changed. My kids adore their Uncle. They get so excited knowing they will visit him. In their words he has the best house. It has great video games, toys and food. All a kid could want.
I must say.....going to visit Carl and Grandma is always a treat for me as well. They both lavish attention and love to my children as well as me. I feel very loved with them around.
Anyway....Uncle Carl put on a great birthday show for everyone today. He gets everything in order and pre-prepared so my grandmother has to do very little. He goes overboard with the preparations and we love it.
Here is an example of what we ate today,. This is Grandma Barnett's birthday cake. It is her favorite from Deli Delicacies. Can we all say Yum Yum!
Grandma and her cake
Zane and his ice cream cake.
Zaney got books from Aunt Leslie and Haley. Trey is excited some of the books are Max and Ruby.

Tall Zane
There is a wall in my closet that has the boys heights. Well my version of heights. I just have them stand against the wall while I place a line above their heads and put the exact ages. I have been doing this with all the boys since Evan was a toddler.
Anyway.......I measured Zane today. He is the same height(or pretty darn close) at age three to what Evan was when he was three and a half. I knew Zane was a tall kid but not that tall. Evan was always in the 90-95% for his age/height. I can't wait to see his percentiles when he goes to the doctor on Monday for his three year check-up.
Do not ask about Trey. Poor baby. He is so much smaller than his brothers at age three. Child takes after his father and his family....short people. My family are all giants.

Happy Birthday Zaney/ Happy Birthday Grandma Barnett
I can't believe my baby is three years old. I remember it was yesterday I was overdue with him and waddling around the house. And now he is three years old. Boy how time flies.
What special day did he make his appearance? His Great Grandma Barnett's birthday!!!! If he had to be late then I am thrilled he chose a special person to share his birthday. My grandmother will be forever remembered through Zane and his birthday.
You all may be asking what did Zane do for his special day. It was a rainly day here in Florida so we played indoors and ate homemade strawberry cupckes...with sprinkles. When his brother returned from school we headed to Chuck E. Cheese to play and celebrate. Grammy, Colin and Grandma Cardo helped us enjoy Zane's birth day.

Look Ma.....No Training Wheels
Since there was no school today due to the ever so scary and horrible tropical storm Fay....NOT!!! the boys and I headed outdoors. The weather was cooler for this time of year with a slight breeze and no sun at all. Evan suggested Trey try to ride his bike without training wheels. DH and I have been trying to teach Trey to ride his bike sans training wheels all summer without much luck. So I took off the wheels and what do you know. Trey was off riding on his own. Trey surprised daddy when he got home and showed off his new skills. He stills needs much practice but at least we are off to a great start. I see Santa possibly bringing a new shiny blue bike for Christmas.
