My son was very excited to Find Jiminy!!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

My DH and my DD were part of the backlot tour at MGM.

 

[klineyqueen]

I think I am going to go and read for a while. Catch you guys later!

Way cool!

I have always wanted to do this one.

 

[waltsgirl]

the banana salute!

Love it!!!!

Me too!

AAAhhhh....the honeypot ride!!!!!

The ones at DL look different. More of a bee hive with honey dripping I think. It is not very roomy and DrHug has only ridden it once because there is not room for his legs.

Eliza throwing a fit. I don't know which park....it happened more than one time. Most people would look at me like "Horrible Mother." Someone actually said "I can't believe that lady doesn't love her kid, I can't believe she would let her have a fit."

I just ignored her and thought "It is because I love my kid that I let her have a fit." We ignore Eliza when she has a tantrum. We certainly are not trying to raise a brat! If that makes me a bad mom...then I guess I am a bad mom.

Ah the memories this brings back!

 

[Jhalkias]

She already has a shoe fettish!!!!

Boy, she would fit right in on our PC WB cruise. Those women start talking about shoes and it just does not stop!

Do you recognize those shirts???

Wearing mine right now after my shower!

Brandi,

I love your pictures! You are making me jealous! I wish we were there.

I have been working on my year schedule the last hour and I can no longer do it. It is starting to feel like the tetrus puzzle when it gets to the very top!

As soon as I get the pictures back from DD's latest competition, I will post them. She was so happy! She moved up a level and just wanted to not be last. Most of the kids are a lot older, 1 younger, but they have all been doing this level a little longer than she has. She got 3rd, but wait till you see her pictures, you'd have thought she won an olympic gold. I guess it is good for kids to not always do well, remember her first competition?. I was just amazed because she skated so well.

John, when is the big trip with Lisa? I am also jealous of that!

We found out this week, Steve's niece has decided to get married in Canada, (the yukon people) on the 28th of July. It will cost us $800 a person to get there. We won't even know if we can go until after Steve's Dr. see's him again July 2nd. So I am watching the prices go up, wondering if I should do this. Steve's sister says if anyone has an excuse to miss, it is him. Any advice?

Also, and this is a really long post. Do you have any advice on how I can fit in on other threads, or are my expectations just to high?

John,

When you wear a size 10 AA shoe, you are just grateful to have your feet covered.

I think 3rd is pretty darn good! Can't wait to see the pictures!

We leave this coming Saturday for the Beach . . . hope to see Lisa on Sunday or Monday - we are usually Zonked when we get there after the 11 hour drive, and usually just eat and sleep after we get there.

No advice on the wedding . . . I guess it all depends on how much you want to go, or how much your family will miss you if you are not there. I assume driving is not an option?

Fitting in on other threads - you are asking the wrong guy if you ask me! I am still figuring some of it out over on the other thread. You missed it Kim, but I created a little controversy over there with one of the newer people on the thread over a joke I made . . . it was not a great experience, and even though things are cool now, it's just not the same as being over HERE.

Here, at least people know me, and know how to take what I would say.

Oh yeah, try 12 EEE!

It's 24 hours of driving. So, at least 2 days. And right now, we are a one driver family. Plus we have to be back for a work trip to Austin 2 days after the wedding. Also, I have never been in a car with a child that long, would I have any hair left?

Sorry I missed all the fun. I do feel bad I wasn't there to be your wing man!

Kim

See! You understand! We are just grateful for what we are able to get!

Bit of a minor deal alert . . .

If you are looking for an iPod nano, you can get a refurbed one (4gb) at the Apple store online for $20 off - $129. I was looking because my 1st Gen Nano (1gb) just accidently went through the wash, and I use my Nano when I walk, which I will do every morning while on the beach. Only problem is they can't guarantee I will get it before we leave, unless I pay $10 extra, and at that point I might as well just get it at Best Buy.

Oh, and they do have them in LIME!

John, Can a person have to many ipod's? I mean at what point do you have an ipod problem? (just wondering if I can justify one)

 

[klineyqueen]

Way cool!

I have always wanted to do this one.

They both got pretty wet!!!! They didn't mind...it was a hot day!

I would say driving is not an option . . .

It was just weird - I don't want to dwell on it, but it also felt odd because there was no "wing man" there. I got some accolades for how it was handled, but that is different. I also got a PM about it.

It has all reinforced to me that I am most at home here, but what a twist of fate that is to find a group of people that relate so well with one another and with me. And even though that was not as perfect as it possibly could be, the core group remains.
