Ok, now I feel old. You were in high school when I was becoming a mother.

Looking forward to more.

Holy CRAP! I had 6 pages to catch up on. And on the DIS, that's a lot of pages. I love your year in pictures. I didn't realize that you had long hair. I like your short hair a lot. I LOVE your big belly doggie.
I thought of you and Erica when i saw Vandy playing last week. Never really thought about it until the DIS boards came a long.

 

[VandyFan10]

well, peyton and the colts are out. ray is NOT happy. he was hoping for a manning/manning superbowl. and the colts lost that game due to defensive penalties in overtime. so ugly.

so now my only hopes are the titans, the giants and the dolphins. other than i don't care about any of the other teams. congrats to anyone whose teams actually played WELL today!

Go Titans!!

go chargers.

GO Titans!!!

I love the colts as well...but head-to-head I have to go with the Bolts.

Colts made some uncharacteristic bad penalties in OT.

GO TITANS!!!!!!!!!

We needed Miami to win today . I really DO NOT want to be playing Baltimore, but that is the card we draw. It just seems even if you beat them you are so beat up you don't play well the next week

But here's hoping for another Super Bowl for Nashville. It's been so AWESOME this year!!!

Awwwww ....be sure and go check out our TR I think page 63 I posted my pics from the Music City Bowl.....It was SO much fun!!! GO DORES!!

Happy new year I loved your photos in review! You make me want to take pictures even more now! Thanks for the video link too! I'm watching it now. Can't wait to hear more from your trip!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

wow that was alot of pages to catch up on, but i got through it, now i can blame you on my TR for not doing an update today, i spent the whole time reading your updates


candi is going to take those mickey head paint chips from home depot to do a memory color game for parker when he gets a little bigger

 

[punkin413]

hopefully i will be getting my photopass CD tomorrow. if so, i'll have an update tomorrow night. i have court all day tomorrow so it will be later tomorrow night. it's coming, though!

I'm looking forward to your next update!

thanks! i hope my family will be understanding because we do want to spend some holidays at home. not every year, but some years.

It was a very sad day indeed! I was hoping the Colts would do better!

there's always next year! (don't you hate it when people say that?)

Awww poor Eli AND poor Sherman. Thats probably so scary to see him have a seizure. Like you said, when the weather gets better you'll be able to take them for more walks and stuff and I'm sure Eli will drop the weight. And I just was reading another post you did saying Ray is upset about the Colts being out and no Manning vs Manning super bowl...sorry Ray! I'm happy because the Colts are really good and now the Giants have a better chance to win

it is scary but we're used to it now. we just have to hold him still so he doesn't hurt himself and then when he's done we have to give him some ice cream to get his blood sugar back up to normal. he likes that part! ray is happy that eli is still in it, too! and of course we're pulling for our hometown tennessee titans, too!

Ok, now I feel old. You were in high school when I was becoming a mother.

we both need to remind ourselves - we're only as old as we feel!!!

I am lovin your trip report and can't wait to read more. It is so refreshing to see family and friends who really love and care about each other.

Looking forward to more.

oh, thanks! that's so sweet.

oh, yeah. it was midway down my back in december of 2007. i got it cut in december and then i chopped it all off in april of last year. i'm glad that you thought of me when you saw vandy - makes me proud!

Go Titans!!

GO Titans!!!

hmmmm.....i wonder who erica is pulling for?

i was hoping miami would win too, but only because i will always have a soft spot for them. i was raised in a miami dolphins/vanderbilt household because there was not NFL team in tennessee at the time and my dad grew up in miami. i remember he bought me a miami starbrights (the cheerleaders for the dolphins - not sure they even still call them that) jacket one christmas and i thought that was SO NEAT! i'm with you on baltimore. i really don't want them to do well - i've never liked them, especially ray lewis. sorry baltimore fans!

Just wanted to let you know that I added April, May, and June now!

i read it yesterday, i think! just haven't commented yet. your nephew is so cute!!!! and your sister looked really pretty for prom.

sounds great, can't wait to read more!!

thanks, erin! glad you've joined in the fun!

I love your year in pictures Dawn and can I say one thing:

Your brother is HOT!​

oh, just....EW!!!!

i've been told he resembles a jonas brother. i think that's a good thing?

I know, I know and I debated posting it but felt compelled.



I just love your pictures. The one where your pops is giving you bunny ears is darling! And any man that will kiss a dog, the one with Ray, is a good guy in my book! We are HUGE dog people too. And tell me the story with you and Erica linking arms in Epcot.

 

[snowbell]

I'm on board.. Just getting started. Sorry I am so late on this one. Still getting over being sick... ugh!

 

[Camster0307]

Um, I believe that was me who said that! In our house, that's considered a compliment!

Your year in pictures was so great and I'm quite impressed that you put that all together in the middle of the holidays. Thanks for sharing!

And I can't believe you're getting your photopass cd back already. I JUST got mine back from my trip in the beginning of November! Yes, I'm the queen of procrastination!

i think it's sweet that you think he's hot - i just don't think so! but i used to change his diapers and me and my sister used to complain if we had to share a cup with him because he spit food back into his coke. he'd die if he knew i told you guys that.

i'm so glad both ray and i are dog people. i'd have 20 of them if i had the room!

oh, the story with me and erica......i'll just paste it from the TR below because i don't feel like typing it all out!

---------------------------------------
the funniest thing that happened is he was trying to tell us to lock our hands together and lean away from each other for a really cool picture he ended up taking (which you'll see later in our photopass pics). but then he realized the monorail was going by and instead of finishing his directions about locking our hands together, he stepped to the side to take the picture of the monorail going by. only we didn't realize the monorail was going by because it's really quiet. so we're standing there, holding hands, while he's taking our picture and i was saying through a forced smile, "um......what are we doing????" and erica was saying back to me through another forced smile......"i don't know but i think maybe the monorail is going by" (or something like that). the pictures are hilarious! erica finally says to the guy, "we don't normally hold hands!" it was just a really odd, funny situation! but his pictures turned out great so i'm glad we found him.
----------------------------------------

and here's a link to the photopass pictures we took with him to tell the story!

so glad you're here! i hope you feel better soon.

yes, ma'am, i think you were! thanks about my year in pictures. i was bored. i get REALLY slow with work over the holidays!

My nephew use to do the same thing with his Coke. It was so gross and it always looked like someone split oil in his cup. My brother in law use to call it oil slicks!

 

[skhermsmeyer]

Just found your post and I love it! Sounds like you always have a blast at DW. We just went for the very 1st time and we loved it. Our little guy actually walked up to the characters and gave them hugs on the 3rd day. We live in Roswell/Alpharetta area. where are you from?

 

[punkin413]

so when i last left you hangin we had just gotten off of SE, where ray and i apparently have no future.

after that we decided to head up to the front of the park to get some photopass pictures. but first here are some pictures of the christmas topiaries up there.

mickey and minnie (i like this shot because the monorail is going by!)....

goofy, pluto and donald....

and of course you have to take one of these!

ray and i went first. he looks like he's miserable.

then anna, chris and luke went. i will show you the good pictures first.

okay, now i'll get to the -- ahem -- other ones!

luke had me CRACKING UP in all the photopass pictures. he generally doesn't like to have his picture made so he just acts goofy the whole time and does random crazy things. it was hilarious!!!

we then decided to do a group shot.....

after that we decided to head over to mission space. ray and chris wanted to ride it. i didn't because i hadn't thought to take dramamine before then and i didn't want to feel bad the rest of the day. i've ridden the orange side before and i was fine, but i've never done it without dramamine.

on the way i took some more SE pictures.....

the sun was starting to come out and i loved how it was beaming through the clouds in this picture....

anna took this - very cool picture!

the boys headed on over to mission space and me, anna and luke took our time and enjoyed one of the fountains for awhile. he's wearing chris's glasses here!

we stopped by mouse gears on the way over to mission space and luke tried on some hats.....

i stayed in the store long enough to find the blanket they were selling for $15 with a $40 purchase and decide i didn't like it and then we left - it was crazy in there!
