As promised here are pictures of our trip to Disneyworld. It was hard not having Joe there but since he started his new job at the FAA he couldn't very well take off to come with us. We sure had a ton of fun with Mimi, Papa & Aunt Nana. Here are a few glipses:)

Darron on the Teacups. He was laughing so hard it was so cute.
Papa, Happiest place on Earth indeed!
Darron and Nana doing their best impression of a blow fish I guess. So cute:)

Darron at the UK Pavillion in Epcot meeting the Pooh Gang!
Us at Epcot again. Of course I am taking the picture. What a fun crowd!

Princess Alyse beautiful white horse. Alyse already looking tired at the Nemo and Friends ride at Epcot.
Darron was quite the roller coaster rider. Here he is with Nana getting ready for yet another fun ride.
Darron with Mickey and Pluto. Notice Alyse is absent from all character pictures. She will not come within 10 feet of any character. Funny except when you are trying to get some good pics.
Me and the kiddos. :)

Darron and I heading into the Haunted Mansion.
Alyse the movie star with Mimi and Papa.
And just like that he is asleep. Small world bores everyone, even the young.
Darron on his horse. Living the dream:)

CHRISTMAS DAY 2007

Sorry this took me so long to post. Never a dull moment in the Broderick house. After our trip to the ER on Christmas Eve for Alyse's ruptured ear drum, things are finally back to normal and everyone is back to good health. So Christmas was a little crazy but still so much fun:)

This game was the best thing I ever bought for the kids. They just loves it and it is so easy for them to play. It is what they play everytime there cousins are over.

Daddy and the kids inspect the goods:)

Alyse with her new baby from Grandma and Grandpa Bryant.

Darron got two awesome transfomers from Grandma and Grandpa Broderick.

This is Alyse admiring her new butterfly wings from Grandma and Grandpa Bryant

Darron gives a thumbs up for what Santa brought him.

Santa brought Alyse a baby stroller and there is nothing she loves more than babies and strollers besides maybe shoes.

Alyse got some new books from Grandma Broderick

Darron got a couple costumes from Grandma Bryant. What a mess but oh what fun!

You can't forget the accessories.

Christmas Eve at the McAdams house

Alyse loves the puppets Aunt Ella made for her.

Darron got a block puzzle that makes 6 different puzzles and he loves to play with it. He loves all things puzzle:)

I have been tagged twice now so I figured I better go ahead and do it.

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

ICE STORM 2007
Here are a few pictures of the ice storm from a week ago. We were more fortunate than some and only lost power for about 1 1/2 days. But some people in Oklahoma are still without power. We missed some of the best pictures around town because we forgot our camera but needless to say if you think a tornado can do a lot of damage you would be surprised at how much damage and ice storm can do. Joe took these pictures around our house and neighborhood. Enjoy!

So we decided to take family Christmas pictures for cards this year. It only took us two different days to get one picture that we finally decided to go with. Here are a few cute ones:)

Did you say cheese? I want cheese.

What is she doing? Girls?!?

Ha ha ha that is so funny!

Happy Family:)

Darron finally got to visit Santa Clause but Alyse would have nothing to do with him. She just cried and cried. Sweet girl!

We closed on our first house on Nov. 21st. We moved everything in the day after Thanksgiving. Everything went really well and we are so happy to be in our new home. We had tons of help from family and friends and we really appreciate it. Here is a picture of the front of our home and a video of a walk thru. Enjoy:)
