Like many kids, Isaiah has always had dreams of visiting Disney World. Tuckett admits that as parents of three, it wasn't easy for her and her husband to get the trip on the calendar.

\"It never seemed to work out either with money or timing,\" she said.

One day, Isaiah offered to treat the family to the \"most magical place on earth.\" He worked hard baking cupcakes for birthday parties, graduations, weddings, prom and baby showers.

Isaiah was able to bring his mom, dad, brother, sister, sister-in-law and 1-year-old nephew to Disney in celebration of his 14th birthday in late November.

\"It was such a great memory,\" Tuckett said of her son's gift. \"Something we'll never forget for sure.\"

Now, Isaiah is determined to raise money for his dream car: a royal blue Ford pickup truck to drive when he gets his license at 16.
