[Sweet Pea UK]

Great Update Becky - sounds like you have had a fab few days!

I'm looking forward to the full trip report from May pretty soon. I keep updating my PTR but hope that when I write my trip report I can take some inspiration from you - you make them so fun to read!!

Great weekend!! I love Claire's expression in the picture she wanted to take by herself-- too funny! Glad BATB didn't disappoint, sorry the Belle wasn't fantastic. It's funny-- some understudies are wonderful because they have the vocal range to do several different parts (hence, why they understudy!), but others...you get why they didn't get the role!
Ally's "scared" face in the Lotso pic is terrific-- she's such a little performer!

Hi Becky!

The pictures of the girls are amazing! I can't believe how much Claire has grown up since I first "met" you.

We love TS3 too! I laughed out loud at some parts and cried at others. So well done!

Beauty and the Beast sounds great! And I love the girls' Mrs. Potts pose! Too cute!

The picture of Brent with the girls in their red Toy Story shorts is just priceless! You should have that one framed!

Looks like you all had a fun-filled weekend! I used to dress my girls alike too. They don't want to do it anymore, huh? Adorable!

Great update! Sounds like you had a fun weekend! I loved TS3 and cried like a baby. Hannah patted my arm and said, "why are you sad?" So hard to explain!

BATB sounds like so much fun. Ben and I went to see it before we were married. I would love to take Hannah if it ever gets back this way.

The girls dance pictures are just darling!

Becky & Katie - you girls have no idea how envious I am about this!!!

I'm right there with ya Trish! I have a 40% off pin that is just begging to be used, but the Grump won't budge on his 'no Disney trips' rule


Becky - it sounds like you had a great weekend! I love the girls dance portraits.

I totally agree with you on Lotso, I just knew he was going to redeem himself and be a good bear at the end, but no, he was just evil!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

What a fun weekend Becky, you have such a sweet family

 

[MHTeacher]

Becky, the dance portaits of the girls are just beautiful!

Sounds like you had a fun weekend---Beauty and the Beast, and a trip to AL.

BTW, I think I've seen those little metal statues from the Mexican rest. Where were you eating? Was it Rosies?

 

[Happy Elf]

I totally agree with you on Lotso, I just knew he was going to redeem himself and be a good bear at the end, but no, he was just evil!

I thought that too!

Great update as usual! We loved TS3 as well. I told my DH that I def. want to see it one more time before it leaves theatres. The ending was just perfect. I agree with you about Lotso bear. I was kind of surprised how evil he turned out to be. I guess Disney put him out for the meet and greet because he was the main one but I just think maybe they should have brought out a couple others as well. I wish they would have chosen Barbie and Ken but I wonder if they weren't allowed because they don't own the rights to them? I'm glad you loved B&B. It sounds like you had a great weekend!

Hey Julie!! Thank you!! Yeah--all 3 of us girls AND Brent have really long eyelashes!!

So did you love TS3?! We did!! I cried like a baby!!

yes I really, really loved it... I didn't cry like a baby...but I certiantly got emotional... but in a good way too...

I am equally surprised by Lotso...like I said on FB too.

looks like you had a wonderful weekend too


Oh I just read through the list...and Nathan so knew the garbage guy was Sid...I didn't realize it though...

Cute recital pics! Claire looks like she is really enjoying herself.

I am happy you had a good B&TB experience! Too bad about the under study...if it wasn't the main character of the show, it would not be that bad! I am sure you and Brent are both trained to hear what they are doing wrong.

One of my good friends from high school performed for years in the Hoopty-Do-Review and the Christmas specials (she was a narrator for Twas the Night Before Christmas show!). She then went on to become Belle in the a traveling B&TB show last year!! She is not with the show this year, but we saw it last year in New Orleans and she was amazing!

Looks like a great Father's Day too!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

I'm so happy to see that you got the "Girls Rule" shirt for Ally and Claire!!! It's so cute! I'm a trained singer as well, so I'm sure the girl playing Belle would have upset me a bit too. It's always a bit distracting.

LOVE the portraits of the girls! They are so beautiful. Like you said, the pics of Claire came out so well.

Lovely update!

I had to skim over the TS3 comments - I don't want to know too much about the movie before I see it (just 4 weeks to wait now! ) .. but I know it'll be great - but I am a little worried about how much it'll make me cry... I cried soo much in 'Up' last year, even DF cried during that movie and he never usually cries! I think Pixar movies are so clever because they are lovely stories for children but also have deeper meanings for adults/big kids!

I saw the touring B&tB musical four years ago and loved it! we had a great Gaston too - I think it's a wonderful role for a broadway character!

I love the girls dance photos. It sounds like you had an awesome weekend.

 

[2kids2luv]

What beautiful dance recital pictures of Claire and Ally. I'm always amazed at how well the little girls do at their recitals.

Sounds like you had a busy but wonderful weekend - TS3, Beauty and the Beast and Father's Day with family. I can't wait to see TS3; hopefully this weekend.

 

[DisneyFanDC]

Oh--ok!! I just noticed in your siggy that your baby boy was born 14 weeks early--how is he doing?!

Aw, thanks so much for asking! Baby Taylor is doing as well as can be expected for being born at 26 weeks. We are very blessed indeed that he is doing so well.

 

[Charlefours]

wonderful dance photos! I saw them on FB, just too cute for words. Great living room furniture! The dance portraits are fantastic!

Sounds like you had a busy but exciting weekend.

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

nice updates!!! I finally got all caught up

I have not seen TS3 yet since we were away in Colorado for the week but I'm thinking of going to see it this weekend! My kiddos at school are all talking about that, and how they all go to disney world all the time (haha)! I love the recital pics too

 

[LilAnn]

Love the dance recital pics! They are so cute! The TS pics are cute too. Glad you enjoyed it! I agree with you on Lotso.....looks cute in the DHS pics, but now, after the movie.....can't see him in the same light!
