Disney Playhouse Live

A few months ago we went with my parents to playhouse Disney. She was so very happy to see all of her favorite characters on the stage. However, I think that my parents might have been more excited to see Katie's face then Katie was to see the characters.

After the show, my parents bought Katie Handy Manny and all of his accessories. She is still happy with her Manny toys to this day.

O Boy

Katie has some of the cutest faces, this one I think of as Katie saying O boy my head mommy. This photo was taken in our kitchen/dining area.

Looking back graduation day

After a long time attempting to get through school I finally finished. My wife had to convince me to walk in graduation, but after I walked I was glad Carrie had convinced me to walk.

You may notice my daughter's tongue sticking out of her mouth, that would be an inherited trait from me when I am really smiling my tongue pops out of my mouth.

Eating Mickey

My parents went to disneyland recently, when they returned they had a gift for us. They brought us a pancake outline in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

For those of you who don't know, Katie loves Mickey Mouse. So naturally, my parents knew she would love Mickey shaped pancakes.

When she saw the pancake shaped like Mickey she screamed with excitement. The problem happened when we attempted to have her eat the pancake.
