~A XMAS STORY~decorations, crowds, pixies..AND A BLOODY NOSE~ACTUAL UPDATE 11/9 p190

i just saw the new disney world steelers superbowl commercial. very cute!

Sounds like a great night!!!! I can't get over how Sherman is not only on your pillow but under your covers! Too cute!!

yeah, he tends to find his way under the covers almost every night. i'm telling you - he doesn't realize he's a dog.

Your Sherman and my Sammie look so much alike. I left Sherman's pic on my computer and DH & DS both said "Is that Sammie?":goodvibes

awww.....so cute!

Hee Hee! He looks very comfortable! Looks familiar! Spot does this when I get up to feed the baby then looks at me like, "what you want back in the bed?"

exactly! i can't resist those big brown eyes though.

Glad you had a such a great time at the concert! How cute is your doggie cuddled up in your bed?! :goodvibes

thanks! it was a blast. yes, sherman knows he's cute too.

Awww, It was like being at the show again...minus music!!:rotfl2:

I have to tell you, Chad has fell in love with Sherman!!!!! That is such a sweet picture!!

well, click on the video and close your eyes and imagine you're there! :rotfl:

sherman is cute on purpose - he knows i won't make him move when he does that!

So, I should be headed to bed, but instead I have been dancing away to all the video that you took, Dawn!

They really put on a good show, don't they?

Love that Sherman was all tucked into your side of the bed. :lmao:

i know you'd appreciate them! glad you enjoyed them. yes, it was an awesome show! sherman does that all the time but the way he was laying on my pillow was just too funny.
 
You got some awesome pictures despite being so far back! The videos were awesome too. I read that update right before I had to go to class, so I had to listen to them on the way to school, and on the way home.

I LOVE the picture of Sherman under the covers, with his head on your pillow. :rotfl: I used to let my dog sleep on my bed, but I had to stop because I always woke up with him sleeping ON my legs, even though I have a queen bed and there was plenty of room. :confused3 It got really tiresome so now he has his own bed made up of old blankets and a pillow. He does frequently use the pillow like a person, which cracks me up.
 
Sherman is the cutest dog ever! Did you kick him out of the bed? :goodvibes I just couldn't...he looks so sweet.

That woman sitting behind you guys looks like a total :hyper: . She's giving you guys the evil eye. :lmao: Was she there alone? :rotfl2:

That's so cool that you got to see your fave band after so many years plus you met Heather! That's awesome. I have no clue who the heck these guys are though. Ashley wanted Sidney to get her tickets but his press packet on ly had one. She didn't want to go alone so we sold it. $80! (Drinking money for Epcot)
 
Oh how awesome that you went to the Killers show!! Thanks for all the pics and videos. I have tickets for their May 8th show in NJ and now that I've heard how great the show is I am even more excited!
 

I LOOOOOOOVE Brandon Flowers! :love: He's HOT! :laughing: I'm glad you all had a good time, I love watching all the videos! And Sherman's too cute! :goodvibes
 
Haha, Dawn...you're gonna think I'm a crazy nut. But I just read your update from the concert before I went to bed last night....which is the reason I had a dream with you in it! :rotfl2: You, Ray, and Sherman all flew up to stay with me...why I don't know. We went to a party or something while Sherman stayed at my house. And then you and Ray had to hurry and leave to catch your flight to go somewhere else and left Sherman with me..And I didn't realize he was still there until after you left, so I hurried and called your cell phone and you were like "Yeah Ray says that we can just pick Sherman up when we come back before we fly home." Wow...that was the oddest dreams ever! :lmao:
 
just got these from my brother. his baby is due on april 12th but they don't think jordan (the mother) is going to last that long because her cervix is already thinning. they had a 4-D ultrasound done awhile back and i've been waiting on these for awhile now!



i can't wait to meet her! :goodvibes

Somehow I missed the ultrasound pictures earlier.

She looks a lot like Isabella right now! :rotfl:

I hope to meet her someday, too. She and 'Bella Rie' will born right around the same time, or should be, if yours doesn't come early.

Did I miss her name, or do you know yet, or did you say and I've forgotten?
 
1. I am going to kiss Sherman's lips off! :p

2. The lead singer is HOT! pirate:

3. Your pictures are pretty good for nosebleed. :thumbsup2

4. You look adorable!!!!! :flower3:

5. I am going to kiss Sherman's lips off! :rotfl2:

6. You have a WGPExpress near your home?

thanks! i know - i've been listening to them all week. i even listened to "hot fuss" today when i went running. it gets me motivated! :)

we have 2 dogs and 1 queen-sized bed and they BOTH sleep with us. well, eli sometimes does. it depends on how cold it is. if it's nice or hot outside he'll sleep under the bed. but if it's cold he's in the bed with us. and sherman has ALWAYS slept with us. i spoil them, i know.

Sherman is the cutest dog ever! Did you kick him out of the bed? :goodvibes I just couldn't...he looks so sweet.

kick sherman out of the bed??? :rotfl2: you want a fight on your hands, then kick sherman out of the bed! that dog has slept with us for the last 11 years. i don't know what he'd do if we kicked him out of the bed. my mom recently bought a new house and she was really pretty, shiny wooden floors and i told her we'd stay with my grandmother because we had the dogs with us. she said, "well, we can put them in the garage" and i was like....:lmao: um...yeah....right. do you want to get any sleep???? they're beagles - they will bark all night long because they know they're supposed to be in the bed with us!

no, that girl wasn't by herself. she was with the two guys that were behind us. they were singling really loud too but she was the worst one. they all had potty mouths too. i don't mind cussing - i mean i do it at times, too. but i don't scream it in public. so classy!

you really should check out the killers! i bet you'd like them.

Oh how awesome that you went to the Killers show!! Thanks for all the pics and videos. I have tickets for their May 8th show in NJ and now that I've heard how great the show is I am even more excited!

cool that you get to see them in may!!!!!! i'll be jealous then. ;)

I LOOOOOOOVE Brandon Flowers! :love: He's HOT! :laughing: I'm glad you all had a good time, I love watching all the videos! And Sherman's too cute! :goodvibes

i agree....he's hot! and i love that he's not a typical rock star and so full of him self and partying all the time. he seems very down to earth.

Haha, Dawn...you're gonna think I'm a crazy nut. But I just read your update from the concert before I went to bed last night....which is the reason I had a dream with you in it! :rotfl2: You, Ray, and Sherman all flew up to stay with me...why I don't know.

Wow...that was the oddest dreams ever! :lmao:

:rotfl: that is so funny! ray is so weird about who we leave our dogs with so you should feel privileged.

Somehow I missed the ultrasound pictures earlier.

She looks a lot like Isabella right now! :rotfl:

I hope to meet her someday, too. She and 'Bella Rie' will born right around the same time, or should be, if yours doesn't come early.

Did I miss her name, or do you know yet, or did you say and I've forgotten?

yes, her name is margot (pronounced "mar-go") raine. i'm not crazy about it but i'm sure it will grow on me. jordan doesn't think she's going to last until april 12th (her due date). with maddie, her 5-year-old, she went early and she's already thinning so the doctor wants to see her once a week now.

1. I am going to kiss Sherman's lips off! :p

2. The lead singer is HOT! pirate:

3. Your pictures are pretty good for nosebleed. :thumbsup2

4. You look adorable!!!!! :flower3:

5. I am going to kiss Sherman's lips off! :rotfl2:

6. You have a WGPExpress near your home?

1. go ahead.....i do all the time!

2. yes, ma'am, he is!!!!

3. thanks!

4. thanks again!!

5. :lmao:

6. well, it's in downtown atlanta, which i try to avoid like the plague. but when i'm down there i will go if i can. go to my TR index and under the non-TR stuff there's a weekend in atlanta. skim through that and you will see we ate there a couple of weekends ago!
 
:rotfl: that is so funny! ray is so weird about who we leave our dogs with so you should feel privileged.

Haha, oh I guess I do then! :rotfl2: I just had to tell you about that because I woke up and said "What the heck?!" :lmao:
 
Okay, well Chad has laughed at me all day! We took Hollie to the dentist and I start belting out at the top of my lungs, "Smile like you mean it", and "All these things that I've done!" Yeah, he thinks I am crazy!!:rotfl2:
 
ray stayed home. he hates big crowds and despises going to concerts, so i'm nice and don't make him. he got a new video game on friday so he was occupied. here are the boys begging him for some pizza.

You are SO lucky to have such good friends that love the same things you do and want to go with ya!! :goodvibes

we were gonna leave around 4:30 and go to wolfgang puck express for dinner, but chris couldn't get off in time so we didn't leave until around 6:30 and we stopped at the BP for a sandwich out of the to-go area. big difference! :rotfl:

Ummmmm.....YEA!! :lmao:

So cool!! :thumbsup2


How FREAKIN' cute is THAT!!!!! :upsidedow
 
Luke is a cutie! His expression when he got Pluto was priceless. pluto:

Can you imagine what that 'man' would think of his pic here on the DIS for all to see in a border of flowers & fairies....:rotfl2:

How cool you got to go to a great concert with friends. What a nice wife you are to let Ray stay home and play his game. By the way you looked very pretty. Cute top.

Your pup on the pillow is adorable, how could you kick him out. Those brown eyes can get you to do anything, admit it.;)

if you like those two songs you need to go buy "hot fuss" right now! such a great CD. it was their first CD and those two are on it.

i'm just lucky that they invite me to go with them! they usually are the ones to say, "let's go do this." and ray is always invited. he's just a homebody, which i'm actually grateful for.

yeah, and he knows it!

Glad you had fun at your concert, cool that you meet another DISer. Sherman is too cute

yeah, heather was so sweet! and sherman is very cute - that's why he's spoiled!

i loved those pluto pics of luke!

that's why i blocked out his eyes - just in case! you never know who you're gonna see on the disboards. although i doubt he's here just because he had no idea what photopass was from the way he was acting.

thanks for your compliment! you're sweet. yes, we had fun. and i always let ray do what he wants. i have lots of friends who make their hubbies do stuff they don't want to do and i don't get it. he doesn't make me do things i don't want to do. and i used to be that way, but he would tell me how the guys would complain about how their wives made them come to whatever event we were at and i didn't want to be one of those wives! but that's what works for us - some people are different.

yes, sherman is spoiled! he's such a cutie - i can't help it.

i'm so excited about my niece! she'll be here pretty soon!

yes, her name is margot (pronounced "mar-go") raine. i'm not crazy about it but i'm sure it will grow on me.

They know they are loved - of course they belong right there with you! That's a very sweet picture.

I remember you saying the baby's name now. As soon as I read it again, I remembered it.

Jill went to the doctor today. All is well. I'm not crazy about Isabella for a name, either. It's a pretty name, but it's such a popular name for girls right now, and I like less common names. I'm sure she'll either end up being the perfect Isabella, and I wouldn't be able to picture her with any other name, or we'll end up calling her a nickname. Brooklynn calls her Bella Rie, so she'll probably end up being Bella.
 
i forgot to include this picture in the last update. i think anna took it around the time they got those photopass pics in the last update taken. it's so cute!

01-6.jpg


so anna, chris and luke were heading to ToT to meet ray and i. we had already ridden but we wanted to go again with them. none of them had ever ridden it. the tower looms ahead.......

02-6.jpg


now there was pretty much no question that luke wouldn't be riding this. he met the height requirement but anna didn't want to scare him from riding anything else and she just wasn't sure about it. so she definitely wanted to try it first without him (which of course he never did ride - it's just too intense for him). so as we walked up to the standby line (which was about 40 minutes, but i don't think we even waited 5 minutes before we got into the preshow - i have no clue what's up with that!), she told the CM at the measuring thing that we wanted to do a child swap. i had never done a swap before and so i wasn't sure how this worked. he said to tell the CM near the elevator.

we got in line. this is me watching the video that ray had taken on his iphone a few minutes earlier. i can't believe he lost it when he had to reformat his phone!

03-6.jpg


the tower peeks through the creepy trees!!!!

04-6.jpg


ray decided to hop up here. i don't know what gets into him sometimes! he's randomly crazy.

05-6.jpg


as you can see, there's no one around. for some reason the line was just non-existant. i guess everyone was at TSM!

06-6.jpg


07-6.jpg


08-6.jpg


we get up to the CM who puts you into the preshow room and i told him we had a child swap and he said for us to tell the CM who actually puts us on the elevator. this was fine but i wonder why they do it this way? that pre-show can be really creepy to kids. it just seems odd that they put them through that and freak them out!

anyway, we went into the preshow and chris was holding luke and i told him it was a really short, silly movie that we were gonna watch. his little eyes looked so worried looking around the creepy room! but he did okay.

when we got into the next line he started asking questions. i had volunteered to watch him first while ray, anna and chris rode and we told him that mommy, daddy and gray (that's what he calls ray) were gonna go on the crazy elevator and that him and me were gonna go wait for them at the end, that he had nothing to worry about.

so finally we get up there and i tell the CM that we're doing a child swap and he sent me and luke to wait over in the middle area between the two lines. chris was carrying luke so he just handed him over to me. a few seconds later the doors in front of luke and i open and a CM comes out with a couple of people, then tells us to get on the elevator with him. luke is kinda freaked out this whole time and he grabs me and looks at me with this worried look and says, "is this a crazy elevator?????" :lmao: so cute!!!!! i told him no, that this was a normal elevator and that we were gonna meet mommy and daddy after they got off the crazy one. the CM thought it was really cute that he asked that. :goodvibes

anna took this while waiting to get on the crazy elevator....

09-6.jpg


being scared!

10-6.jpg


after luke and i got off the elevator, the CM showed us where to stand once i was ready to come back up and so then we headed into that hallway you come into after you get off the ride and found a seat on the wall. it was right next to where you view the pictures. while we're sitting there a bunch of pop warner cheerleaders get off at once and they were SO LOUD!!!!!!! :cheer2: that was really the only time during the whole trip that i noticed them though.

a few seconds later my phone rang and it was ray. i put it on speaker so luke could hear and he started laughing because he could hear anna screaming. it was cute.

here's the redneck picture of anna, chris and ray. they're in the middle row on the right side. i don't know what anna's hand is doing!

11-6.jpg


so then it was my turn! ray stayed with luke this time and anna, chris and me headed back over to where the CM had told me to wait. a few seconds later the elevator door opened up and the CM unloaded a couple of people and then took us back up. we got on the ride within seconds. this child swap thing is great! :thumbsup2

me and anna planned how we were gonna "pose" and we got chris in on it, too. i love this picture.....it's one of my favorites from the trip! chris is supposed to be sleeping but you can't tell. we're just gripping each other in fear and screaming our heads off!!! :rotfl:

12-6.jpg


i think i called erica during this ride. :upsidedow so both my hands were occupied - one holding my phone and the other one gripped on anna. well, that was the first time i'd ever ridden without holding on to the handles and it was AWESOME!!!!! every time we'd drop i'd come out of my seat like at least 6 inches. so fun! and so scary at the same time. :p

continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=30104550&postcount=779
 

we came out of the gift shop to find this.....i love these pictures too. they're like best buddies! ray had bought him a goofy pez.

13-6.jpg


14-6.jpg


looking up at the tower....so pretty!

15-5.jpg


it was around 12:15 at this point and we had 12:50 ADRs at sci-fi dine-in theater, so we started to head that way. as you can see, the sun was coming out and it was turning into a pretty day! it was still chilly though.

16-6.jpg


we stopped on sunset boulevard to get some more photopass pics. anna took these while we were waiting in line....

17-6.jpg


18-6.jpg


we had no idea she was taking this one! i love the sky - so blue!

19-6.jpg


photopass pictures!

20-6.jpg


notice ray's shirt. i bought that for him when i came with erica last september. the storm trooper is eating a mickey ice cream bar and it says, "get a taste of the dark side." he loves that shirt.

21-5.jpg


as anna, chris and luke walked up to get their photopass pics made, luke again wasn't having it. he was trying to hide behind them! :rotfl2:

22-5.jpg


they knelt down to try to get him to be in the picture but he kept hiding behind chris.

23-5.jpg


then he peeked through and the photopass guy caught it! it was cute! he's wearing chris's sunglasses here. :cool2:

24-5.jpg


we then headed to sci-fi. took this on the way - i love this picture too!

25-5.jpg


i checked us in here.....

26-5.jpg


anna, chris and luke wanted to see the streets of america set so they headed over there while i checked us in.

27-4.jpg


28-5.jpg


this area will look COMPLETELY different when we are here later in the evening!!!

while we were waiting on our table ray, chris and luke walked over to star tours so they could get some pictures on the speeder bike. while they were over there they started the jedi academy. i was so glad ray got to see some of it because he's never seen it before!

29-4.jpg


he only took one picture!!!! boys!!!!!! :rolleyes2

he did get this one though....

30-4.jpg


and these.....

31-4.jpg


32-4.jpg


up next.....a very yummy lunch at the drive-in and shakes that are out of this world....literally!!! :drinking1
 
I was gonna say how great of an update this was and how fun you all are but seriously... what's up with Ray and that Red Sox hat?! Doesn't he know that the Yankees are the only team worth rooting for? I mean seriously...

:laughing: Loved the update! Your TOT pictures came out great, I love the poses! And the PP pic of Luke with his head popping up is too cute. Can't wait to hear about Sci-Fi! I always hear such mixed reviews on here but we loved it on our last trip.
