OMG, Tracy, I LOVE the Passporter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the proud owner of two and I just think they are the BEST book for Disney traveling and so handy, too!!!!!!

You go girl with that bathing suit!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so jealous, I will never get this Mommy of three boys in something like that again...Coley put me right over the edge in my mid section, as hard as I'm trying, not sure I will ever get there! But great goal and I'm sure Jerry will be psyched to see you in that bathing suit!!!

You're waiting for park hours like me.....it's getting SO close but the EMH are holding me back too!

Yes, I love my passporter as well. I am very happy to have it and can't wait to really use it.

The mid section is hard for me also. That's why I like the fact that it covers that area. Hopefully I can get my thighs and butt in shape in order to wear it.

Yeah, disney needs to hurry up already. Don't they know we like to plan, plan, plan??

You go girl!!! Those shoes are super cute, and of course we want to see more pics!!

Thanks, I really liked them to and just had to have them. Ok, I will post more soon.

Ok, I want to post SOMETHING so I'm going to post some random pics.

These are from part of one of Dylan's field trips. Jerry went on the first one and I went on this one. They went to the oldest and biggest cemetary in our nearby city of Quincy. (our schools are getting worse and worse about field trips and such, they used to go to neat places)They also went to one of our local t.v. stations but my camera died about then

Dylan and his friend Kayden. It was quite comical watching these 2 interact. He's at the age where they are starting to flirt. Funny and sad at the same time.

one of the unusual gravestones

It was neat to see some of the things at the cemetary and the kids did have fun. They split up into groups of five and had a scavenger hunt. I was in charge of one group...and we won by the way

this used to be an entrance to part of the underground railroad.

Dylan and his group

this is what happens when we get a decent rain at our house. See all of the water over the road? It also washes out the end of our driveway every time. They are supposed to be FINALLY fixing it this week so it will drain better.

Blake on his field trip to the YMCA (see, not very exciting)

Blake, my niece Madelyn and Cole

monkeys in the tree

some pictures of a car show that we went to (we hit a lot of these in the summer)
my dream car...a 69' Chevelle SS

These next two are two cars that my talented hubby painted

will post more later. Cole is taking a nap and I have just enough time left to do my workout and take a shower.

Love the swim suit! Good job!!!
Keep up the good work, you look great anyway!

Your notebook is adorable!! I love it.

 

[DisneyFairy66]

field trips dont seem that exciting, when I was young we used to go to museums, shows, and sometimes Disney!

Your boys are beauitful. god bless!

Another Passporter fan here! Love, love, love that book. The back pockets worked great for me to jot down notes throughout our trip so I could remember and write my TR when we got back! It was fun to fill out my thoughts and Joe's too.

Congratulations on loosing weight! And I'm rooting you on for the last couple pounds and toning! Toning is the hardest part for me, working out just never seems to happen. I think its awesome that you will be able to pull off a swimsuit like that after three kids!

It's fun to see the pics of 'normal life', the field trips, cars and such. I recall field trips to the zoo and museums - surprsing it's to a cemetary and the YMCA, but I suppose with budget cuts and all...BUT, what's more important is that the kids enjoy it, learn and have fun!

Thanks for the compliments. I love the suit and my notebook also. Nope, the field trips really stink now a days. Oh well, the boys seemed to have fun.

Glad to hear more good things about the passporter. I can't wait to use it at disney. It seems like it will be very convenient.

Thanks for the congrats. Toning is the hardest part for me also. When I started excercising my dh said he didn't want me to loose weight and I told him I didn't really mind the weight I was at but I just wanted things to be lifted and toned. Losing the pounds is just an added bonus to doing the workouts. I hope I can pull it off without people saying, " wow, she really shouldn't be wearing that" lol.

Yeah, our school is really getting bad especially about field trips. Like you said though, at least the boys had fun.

More everyday life pictures......

went to Blake's 'Muffins with Mom' at school to celebrate mother's day. This was a folder he had decorated with some cards, poems and sweet things he had wrote about me. You know, things that make you cry lol.

making a fish face after a little play they did.

not the greatest picture but here is one his teacher took of Blake and I on that day ( I look drugged or something,lol)

Field Day at Blake's school where they break into groups and have different competitions

Blake and my niece Madelyn were up against each other in a donut eating constest.

Blake and some of his buddies

Cole being goofy and coloring with my niece Sydney

the boys giving Jerry a picture we made for his bday the other day (would've probably been better for father's day actually)

as you can see Cole wiggled his fingers,lol. Also, it would've been better but we decided to do it last minute.

just hangin' out

the boys being silly and watching a movie in mommy and daddy's room

Ok, that is all for now. Sorry if I bored anyone. I just wanted to post some things since I hadn't for awhile.

Hey Tracy,

Thanks for sharing your every day pics with us! They were really cute. And the boys are SO handsome!!! You're going to have your hands full in a few years...with all those girls calling!!

I thought the pic of you and Blake at school was cute! And how sweet of him to make you some crying material for Mother's day! It's so nice his school invites you in for that! My preschool does that for us, but Ethan's elementary school didn't.....

Love the framed pic of the boys handprints for Jerry....I may need to steal that one from you for Todd for Father's day!! It's so cute!!!

Thanks again for sharing!!

Ok, so have you heard about the lady who took off to WDW w/one of her children after clearing out her bank account and stealing a coworker's drivers liscense? She then called and said her and her daughter had been kidnapped and thrown in a trunk. What the ????????? Even had the gull to call her husband and freak him out. They of course caught her at WDW returning to her hotel room at the GF. (good choice of hotels though,lol) And we thought we were disney obsessed

My only question is if you are going to flip out and take off to disney...why only take one of your 3 children???? Yeah, she had 2 other children she left behind at home.

Anyway, I just had to comment about it on here when I heard it.

What a CRAZY world we live in....it was very bizarre to take only one child and not the others, very strange.....obviously she has some issues, I'm just so happy that the little girl was found safe and sound.....

No problem, I love pictures and I'm just glad I didn't bore anyone with them. I am really dreading the whole girl thing in a few years...ugh. You will have the same problem though so maybe we can work through it together,lol.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, it is nice that his school at least does that. I guess they are trying to make up for all the other things they don't do.

Steal away. I really like the idea. I was thinking about doing it on a shirt but figured he would get more use out of just framing it and hanging it over his desk here at home. When the boys had smaller feet ( actually I think Dylan was the only little guy we had) I made him a shirt with Dylan's footprints all over it (in different colors of paint) and wrote " My son walks all over me" on the front. I love doing keepsake things like that.

I read your updates a while back, but must have forgotten to post-or the DIS ate it!

The Father's Day gift is so creative! What a great idea.

I LOVE that folder for Mother's Day. Ahhhhh...wonderful treasures!

 

[DisneyFairy66]

What a beautiful family...Your boys should be models, sooo handsome.

Hey! I am getting very excited for our trip. It is getting closer and closer. I will really begin to feel the excitement once I can make our ADR's and such. On one hand I don't want summer to be over but on the other I do so that we can go to disney!!! I like that pic too. Non posed pics are always special. That is why I always have my camera handy,lol.

 

[KennedyMcKenna]

Loved the pics of the boys and fun times!!
I'm thinking about getting a passporter, do you find it to be really helpful?
