Disney's Allstar Movies Resort

We took our family vacation to Disney World this year.  We left on May 1st & came back on May 6th.  We had an awesome time!  Our first night, we spent a lot of time at the resort.  The boys loved the car/racing theme of our Herbie the Love Bug section.  They also really liked the Toy Story themed section of the resort.  We spent nearly every evening in Andy's Room.  Ace probably would've been plenty happy just staying at the resort.  He loved hiding under the nightstand in our room, he loved the pool, and he loved Herbie & all of the Toy Story characters!  Add a few shows to all that, and he would've been set! 
Ace also really liked the monorail.  I believe that he & Jett will both love the Polynesian Resort next year!

 Ace loved hiding under our nightstand:)

 Ace did not want to let go of Herbie!

 Ace & Jett loved hiding in between Buzz's blocks!

 Ace was determined to climb up on Buzz's shoes.

 The boys sat in RC in Andy's Room nearly every day.

The Houston Zoo

Ace really enjoyed our trip to the Houston Zoo.  Ace was old enough this time to really enjoy the animals.  He really liked the fish, elephants, and giraffes.  Although, I think he liked the Houston city birds just as much!  Ace was standing up against the glass looking at the chimpanzees when one decided to come over.  Ace was okay until he got really close!

 Ace really enjoyed his Daddy time:)

 The elephants.  Jett named them Daddy, Momma, Jett & Ace:)

 We spent a lot of time looking at the giraffes.

 Jett & Ace really liked the fish.  They found Nemo & Dorie!

Egg Hunt at the Cowboy's Baseball Game

We had our second Easter egg hunt at the McNeese State baseball game.  The interns worked really hard stuffing all of those eggs!  I believe there were 250.  Pretty sure my boys ended up with a quarter of them!  Ace had Paul bringing the eggs to him:)  It was so hot that day!  You can tell by his rosy red cheeks!

 Really Mom??  I'm busy!

 Happy with his collection.

 He dumped them out & apparently likes the purple ones.

 What to do with these?

 Ace has Paul doing all of the work:)

Josh & Angela brought baby Duke down to visit with us:)  Ace is thinking, "Dude, you can have him!"

Easter

This is the first of Ace's Easter posts.  We had several egg hunts this year & lots of pictures.  Ace is my little cleaner, so he loved hunting eggs.  He loved picking them up & putting them in his pail.  He really liked the baby rabbits at church, but was terribly upset that he did not get to hold one.  He lost his chance the moment he decided to pull the ears:)  The owners of the baby rabbits were not happy.

 Lots of eggs to choose from!

 How many do I have?

 Maybe I should add a few more:)

 There's my happy boy!

 One smile & the thinker with a rabbit.

 Momma loves her boys!

More from Ace's Airplane Birthday Party

This post is really for me!  I loved all of the little details of Ace's party.  So, here are just a few pictures of decorations, food, favors, etc. 

The cupcakes were delicious, the toppers were perfect, and I love my new cupcake stand (Thank you, G)!

Ace's Airplane Birthday Party

We had Ace's airplane themed birthday party at our house the following Saturday. Earlier in the month, we had really nice warm weather. So, the party was originally scheduled for Adventure Cove Park, which my boys love. A cold front came through, and it was on the chilly side the morning of the party. So, we had it at our house. It turned out really awesome!  Lots of Ace's friends came, the cupcake toppers turned out great, and the party favors were super cute!  It was a pretty great success!
