And what a very special Sweet 16 trip she's going to have - she'll remember it forever

We have been lucky enough to celebrate each of our birthdays on DCL. Brennan turned 4 on our first cruise in 2/2005; Keegan was 9 on the Magic in 5/2006; Derek turned 34 in the Med in 7/2007 and I turned 34 in 12/2006 and 35 in 12/2007 on board. It won't be any of our birthday's in August unless we celebrate Derek's a couple weeks late.

Keegan is doing a bit better today. He's still pale and tired a lot, but so much better than just a couple of days ago. I really think the medicine is working it's magic.

Brennan had his "big day" (he described it as such before bed last night) today and won 1st place in the Central Pennsylvania Youth Wrestling Championship. He has a home tournament tomorrow and we are done with wrestling for the season! We are taking them out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate Keegan feeling better and Brennan's wrestling award.

Here's a family photo from the Med this past July:

Danielle - I'm so pleased that Keegan is feeling much better today and congratulations to Brennan on winning his wrestling contest - you must be very proud of him. I hope you all enjoy your meal out

I love your photos, the one of the Cruise is great, you remind me of someone famous, but I can't think who. I'll probably wake up in the middle of the night yelling - she reminds me of ????

Enjoy the rest of your day

Anyway I'm really tired tonight, so I'm off to bed. Good night girls, have a lovely evening and I'll catch up with you all tomorrow

Nighty night

 

[sarahsmom73]

No no no a drink in EACH hand!!!!!

That's even better!

 

[sarahsmom73]

We are celebrating Sarah's birthday a 19 days late on the cruise! She is SOOOOO excited! Some day I hope to celebrate a birthday with the mouse... Maybe 40.. That will give DH 5 years to plan! Think that will give him enough time?

Night Mandy talk to you tomorrow

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Well I am off to work in an hour so i will talk to you all in the morning.

 

[mandymouse]

Morning Girls, it looks like everyone vanished early last night

Well it's Mother's Day today here in the UK, and I was lucky to get some Daffodils, a balloon, the Run Fatboy Run DVD and a few choccies (gotta think of the diet )

Here's a photo of them

I'm looking forward to going to a Chinese buffet at lunch and having everyone making lots of cups of tea for me all day (well I won't hold my breath over the cups of tea )

Have a great day everyone

 

[Hanover]

Happy Mother's Day Mandy!

OK girls - yesterday turned out to be more than I planned, so I am like 6 pages behind.. SOOOOOOOOOOOO get ready for the attack - I'll have PLENTY of posts, One after the other!!

That's great Laurie, O'hanas is my favourite Character breakfast, and I can't wait to go back - you've made a great choice there

I am excited about Ohana, that is our favorite too! I like it better than Chef Mickey - because, it's not a buffet.. I am always afraid of getting up to get food, and missing someone... PLUS I like to be SERVED!

Laurie,

Sorry you had such a rough day yesterday, having a close family is wonderful but some times it can be difficult too (I speak from experience). I just need to finalize my ADR decisions with my BIL then I'll let you know what we end up doing. Glad I could remind you and you got what you wanted. Since I check in on the 28th hopefully they will let me do some of mine today too.

I watched the Mets games yesterday, it was a good game but too bad they lost (again). Today its on WPIX (11) so I will take a break from cleaning to watch them play in warm Fl.

Hope today is much better for you!

Thanks Veronica - How did the game go yesterday, I am afraid to ask!!

We love you here! At least you don't want to get rid of us, your cruising social circle!

That's right - I'll keep you guys.. if I feel like ditching one of you - I'll just IGNORE your posts! LOL

 

[DVCLaurie05]

This morning we had a lie in. We went to visit Paul's aunt in the nursing home, then went to a shopping mall for a wander around, sadly I didn't buy anything, but we did get some $$ for our trip as the exchange rate is so good

Kerry and Becky came in a while ago with a cute Mother's Day balloon and some Daffodils (my fave flowers) for tomorrow. I've got a couple of presents for tomorrow and I'm looking forward to going out to dinner. I've done all my housework and laundry today, so I can chill and be very lazy tomorrow

As for the rest of the day, we haven't got anything else planned, so I'll probably be on here

Mandy - can you get me some cheap American money - the dollar is HORRIBLE here! LOL

Your mother's day sounds like it is going to be great - and from what I breezed through on today's posts, it looks like it is - your presents are great! I didn't realize thet movie was on DVD yet - I did something w/sunshine last week about that movie.. Did you see it yet? The previews looked really funny!!! Enjoy the rest of your mother's day!!!

Morning everyone,
I stayed up late last night so i decided i would sleep in late this morning. Well my stupid dogs had other plans at two in the morning the puggle started freaking out barking for no reason then at four thirty the german shephard decides he has to go out and then at 5:15 the sharpei desides he wants to bark every time the wind blew a tree branch past the window. I am so cranky now(poor family)and jeff actua;lly gets annoyed with me and tells me to shut them up he has to work tomorrow...lol yah i will tape their mouths closed..

You can vent anytime laurie just be prepared when it is my turn.

Mandy,i think it would cute if you said something inappropriate here..lol..i think we could handle it.

So how was the bf's visit last night sandy?

Michele - SO - did the dogs let you sleep last night?? I slept much better myself.. got up at 7 - that is late for me - and being I slept straight through, it was a miracle!!

I'll be ready for venting.. I can listen as well as I can talk ya know!!

Hi Eveyrone!

It is finally the weekend and it feels so good to have very little stress! My mom is home and is doing well! Thanks for all of the well wishes!

Emmy is taking her nap. Sarah is laying on the couch watching haunted and ghost shows on the Travel channel. Mark is just getting up. I plan to spend most of the day catching up with all of you!

Sounds like things are much better by you!! But, I still think you should do 2 cruises!!!!!

Honestly Michele, I have known myself to make a couple of naughty comments on the UK Community when I've had a drinky-poo or two, and had to edit them the next morning - it really doesn't look good for a Moderator (though thankfully most of the UK Community know what I'm like )

Now this in intriguing - I may have to check these UK boards to see what you are up to!!!! You seem to nice to be naughty!!!

Laurie

 

[V4dice]

Thanks Veronica - How did the game go yesterday, I am afraid to ask!!

Morning Laurie! They actually won...but by being hit by a pitch. No score in the 9th..bases loaded and the Dodger pitcher hit the batter on the wrist to walk in a run. Hey a win is a win

So you must be walking on air today!!! How many hours until the concert? Have a fabulous time (I'm so jealous)!!!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

This one is for you laurie

Grab that butt!!

Thanks I needed that!!!! So, I will be spending two days in a row w/JBJ!! We wound up going to the Philadelphia Soul game last night - for those of you who don't know - it is AFL football - and JBJ is co-owner of the team... and HE WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We decided to go last minute - so, I didn't make it to 5:30 mass Michele - so, I might be joining you 'down there' .. IF You know what I mean.. But anyway, Jon was there, in his owner's box - they showed him up on the screen.. I was HOPING he would at least go shake his BUTT down on the field.. but, I guess I'll get all the butt shaking I can stand tonight!!

I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan, but I must say JBJ looks better with the shorter hair, than back in the day with the big hair

Back in the day, I thought he was hot, but he has aged well, and looks GREAT with the short hair.. Not sure if you all knew this, but ... today is HIS BDAY (46) - so I am sure this is going to be a great show tonight!!!!! I can't wait.. but, I have a few obstacles that I need to pass first.. WW - possibly church - and SEVEN boys here this afternoon - UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. .why is my house the place everyone wants/needs to be?!?!?!?!?

Morning ladies-

The visit with the boyfriend was uneventful, which in my book means GREAT! He was very nice.

Hope everyone is having a great day so far.

Mandy, I'd love to hear some inappropriate comments. Feel free to PM them, I'm always up for a good giggle.

Sandy - Glad the boyfriend is nice!! That's good.

I am telling you I am going to stalk the other boards!!! LOL And, yes, PM us the bad stuff - I am sure it's nothing that we haven't heard before!!!

Well i was just at allears.net looking at the stateroom photos and now i am in a better mood thinking about our cruise.

Ah............. I can't wait - when I get the cruise 'itch' I was the travel channel special that we saved on the DVR - my fav cruise director is in that one!!

No we are staying in a cat 3 again
I am hooked since the last cruise..Everyone is going to come party on my verandah with bahama mama's..lol

I'm there!!!! P A R T Y!!!! Is this going to be one of those - 'by invitation only' kinda things???

Nope just a drink in hand or no admittance..lol

Oh - I was hoping it would be a secluded kinda thing - only invited guests - let's face it, there are plenty of people on the ship with drinks.. maybe we should look for invitations in our FE?!?!?!?!!? Along w/the other 'goodies'... But, I'll bring a drink if YOU are FORCING me to!!!!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

No no no a drink in EACH hand!!!!!

NOW you are talking!! LOL Maybe get a BOTTLE of someting from the 'duty free' shop!! So, we can refill!!! LOL

Hey Girls

I'm a bit bored tonight, I think I could do with a good night out

Are you doing anything tonight ?

Has anyone made a start on making their Fish Extenders yet ? I see there's a couple up for sale on Ebay http://search.ebay.com/fish-extender_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQpqryZfishQ20extenders

I am going to check into the ones on ebay, my 'friend' is the lady selling them, and she hasn't gotten back to me - so, I am going to keep checking to see what she has and bid on one of them.. I have plenty of time.. If not, I'll hand a shopping bag out there.. LOL What's the difference?!?!?

Hey mandy, I bidded on the mt.rushmore FE. My exciting night plans are to go to work..lol

Michele - I saw that one - it's really cute.. Good luck w/your bid! I am going to keep an eye - if anyone sees any good ones, remind me!!!!

Hi Mandy I'm not doing the fish extender as you know but I can't wait to see everyone else's. I still have 2 girls left to pick up cookies and John is working tonight so I think I'm just going to stay in and dis all night!!!!!!

Are you getting excited for tomorrow?????

So, are all of the cookies gone?!?!?! That must be a lot of work, sorting and all?? WTG Mom - you earned your 'badge' for this one..

What kind of shop do you work in Michele ? You wouldn't happen to sell Transformers helium balloons by any chance ? - LOL - long story, it's Becky's birthday in a couple of weeks

I was going to suggest ebay, but I see somewhere down the line you already did that!! Good luck!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

So I've told you my plans for Becky, but what about in your home ? Who's birthday is next ? and what are your plans for them ? (if any)

DH's bday is the end of March - Ant's is July, probably a pool party, not that I want that, but I'll have to get to work on something else -- last year we did a pirate's pool party.. it was great - each kid got a goodie bag and a POTC towel - everyone loved them!! Dominic's is in Sept, and mine in October. NO big plans for anything yet..

DH's b-day is next and he wants a new sonic screwdriver. Apparently there is a prop company that makes Dr Who prop replicas and he has his heart set on that. What fun.

After that it's Tori's b-day. May 31st. We will go out to dinner but you guys already know our celebration plans - 4 nights WDW followed by 7 nights of cruising

I wish someone would take me on a cruise for my bday - and you better not give my kids any ideas about going on a cruise for their bday!!! LOL We might celebrate D's on the cruise though, being it is only a few weeks after the cruise....

WOO HOO FINALLY won one - LOL

Yes - I can't wait.. I just need to get through the next few hours! LOL

So, now that I probably monopolized an entire page of posting - I think I am done...

Hope you are all around today - I'll be on ALL afternoon w/this tribe here - so, watch out..

Happy Mother's Day Mandy!

Happy Mother's Day Mandy!

Hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day! Enjoy!

Thanks girls

I am excited about Ohana, that is our favorite too! I like it better than Chef Mickey - because, it's not a buffet.. I am always afraid of getting up to get food, and missing someone... PLUS I like to be SERVED!

I love the food, the atmosphere and Stitch being there I think it's cute when the little kids follow Lilo & Stitch around with the shakers to Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride too

I think the shops in the Poly are great too

Your mother's day sounds like it is going to be great - and from what I breezed through on today's posts, it looks like it is - your presents are great! I didn't realize thet movie was on DVD yet - I did something w/sunshine last week about that movie.. Did you see it yet? The previews looked really funny!!! Enjoy the rest of your mother's day!!!

Thanks Laurie, I'm having a lovely day I saw this movie on our flight home in December and the girls told me off for laughing so loudly

Thanks I needed that!!!! So, I will be spending two days in a row w/JBJ!! We wound up going to the Philadelphia Soul game last night - for those of you who don't know - it is AFL football - and JBJ is co-owner of the team... and HE WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How cool to see JBJ twice in one weekend. I remember when I saw David Beckham at the Spice Girls concert - it made my year

Anyway I have just got back from a wonderful Chinese lunch. I'm so pleased that I get weighed on a Friday, as it's going to take a while to work all this food off.

Good Luck at your weigh-in today Laurie and have a fantastic time at the Bon Jovi concert

Have a great day girls
