Hi all

Nan~ tell Molly congrats on her first show! and YES, Aisling, I can totally see Molly being ready for her closeup!

Tig~ your puppy looks adorable with her new haircut. I love how your big doggie was being so good and just watching your son train Penny.

Kris~ I totally feel what you're going through with the behind at work and home thing. I feel the same way...thank the Lord that Spring Break is coming up!

I heard Baby's heartbeat on Thursday. It was so exciting! I just sobbed when I heard it....so comforting to actually have proof that its still inside me, growing. I go for an NT test tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous and excited at the same time. I mean the test can be nervewracking, but on the other hand, I'll get to see the baby for 20-30 minutes probably. Less than 8 weeks til we find out whether or not its a monkey!

Well- time for a snack and then bed.

Sorry I haven't been in on a regular basis, but Grim is, and he's much more entertaining than me

Miss you all!

Dede

Ya know - We were planning on going to WDW during the Super Bowl 2008 (Feb 3rd) with some friends of ours to get the heck out of town (they live practically next door to the new stadium). I figured we wouldn't be going now with the new Mousketeer, but you've got me pondering....

I think Aisling came up with the idea so we'll have to ask her for what dates...

Apparantly Chad says her laptop is due back any day now...He also says to say hi to everyone



I talk to him on MySpace, I'll pop over there later and ask him if Mom has a date.

I so can totally picture Molly in the spotlight~from River Bug to Movie Star

Are you getting a 3d ultrasound? Those are incredible!

Grim Loved your pics, don't want to rock your boat but Keith got 999 999 on his last run through Buzz We got held but and he took full advantage!!!
If you're planning on crusing again i think it should be 2007 in the Med!!

 

[nskjerven]

It was me.....Wilson's birthday is 2/24, I suggested his 8th birthday on the cruise ship....(we usually get that week off) next year 2007 they set sail for the Western (which is what Chicken has interest in, but I think we can not afford it so soon) so hopefully the 2008 will also be running that week too. I have looked but it only shows out to Dec 2007 now. I figure 2 + more months we'll see Feb 2008, ya think?

Now....AISLING.....WHAT WAS YOUR COMMENT ABOUT....YOU IMPLIED THAT THERE WOULD BE *ANOTHER* BABY, not Dede's & John's....People go back and read between her lines..... OKAY, I'm a freak .... but she quit her job and "could" have another baby right??? I may just have to call you today now that my life is back to somewhat normal.

Going to photobucket now to up load the Riverbug, back to post her shortly.

HI ALL

Hey everyone!! How's it going with everyone? It's going good around here. We just got about 5 inches of snow! Burr!! And it was finally getting warmer!! Oh well. I am hearing a lot about 2008 cruises! Sounds good. But sorry I am not going to be able to join you on that one. Because we are going 2007. Maybe we will hit a cruise together in the future! lol I hope. But for now my parents are set on 2007 as far as I know. IO don't know? Mayeb they will change their minds. I would rather go 2007 because its earlier but I would want to go 2008 with all you awesome people!! hehe Well I have to go get ready. We have Freshman Orientation tonight at the highschool Scary thought Highschool is just around the corner!! I am very excited but sorta nervous too. I am pretyt sure it is common though! hehe I am also getting to miss school Thurs. because I am going down to Indianapolis for a volleyball tryout! If your make the higher team you train for a week in the Summer and then go play in an International tournament!!! I am very excited! I hope I do good enough to make the top team! The tourney last year was in china and this year its in PUERTO RICO!!! Not a cruise but it will do! The only downside to it is they are picking from tryouts all across the nation! But if you make it you get a USA Jersey!! It's like playing for the olympics as a kid! Well I must go now. Have a great night everyone! i will try and post more often!!

Final Show

Come for your close-up Miss Molly

All the Riverbugs

Off to the cast party....

Ta ta,

Nan & Miss Molly a.k.a. Riverbug

 

[chickeninthecupboard]

nice photos Grim - thanks. Love the animals. Now Nan wants me to get her a camera like yours. Congratulations on getting the cabinets done your way.

Hi everyone else.

Tori - good luck at your try out. Let us know how it goes.

Tig and Jill - what's new?

Chad & Jesse - what'z up?

nighty night to all - time to honk shu -

 

[chickeninthecupboard]

I just noticed on my last post - it said "posts: 10" WOW! Can you believe that - 10! I better be careful - that many posts may give me cramped hands from typing so much. I make myself laugh - I even almost inserted one of those little "rolling on his back, laughing dudes with a wagging tongue" next door to this window. (Look right). I've always wondered if that poor little icon will choke on his tongue some day?

I figure at this rate I'll have as many posts as Tigggg by 2032!

 

[nskjerven]

okay I told the kids that I had a plan for Disneyland for Easter break, Molly says "I want to go to WDW" Help me!!!! Can I really spend 2 days flying to Florida next month????

Anyone wanna come and meet us for a quickie?

4/8/06-4/15/06 would be our dates.

I figure it's about the same cost to go to DL as WDW for us since we have APs for WDW and we don't for DL (well except mine of course) I think the hotle costs are a bit cheaper at WDW, if we stay moderate rather than AKL... Wish me airfare luck I'm going online tonight to see what I find. And then wish me luck talking Paul into coming with us.... like that's going to happen....

[minniegrl]

Good luck with the WDW trip, Nan!

I keep telling Grim that we need to go back to the world before Baby gets here. I mean where else am I going to do all of my baby clothes shopping besides World of Disney?

Tig, I think we'll do as many ultrasounds as we can! I can't get enough of them

Final yearbook deadline on Monday, woohoo!!!!

Yeah, if I stop~



I hope you can go Nan, and no-I don't think Paul would go back there just yet...it'll be a little longer than this before I get back there.

Hi everybody.

 

[KKB]

Trying very hard to stay OFFLINE and get caught up at work....we are getting there!
BAD news around here...transmission went out on the van Tuesday...THAT is a painful expense (OF COURSE the day after I spring for airline tickets to Vegas and concert tickets to Faith Hill & Tim McGraw!!!) Our van is only 5 years old!!! We contacted the dealer in Hastings (Dan's mom & stepdad actually bought it , and we got it from them...) That dealer is anxious to keep their business, so he is bending over backwards to help us. Looks like he is going to arrange to get the van transported to Hastings, and split the enormous bill w/ us. Still hurts, but not quite as badly (helps to offset those tickets!)
Looking forward to next weekend...St. Patty's, NCAA Bball, our fav band, and casino Monday...not too bad a (pre) bday weekend!
Crud...kids are back...
Gotta go
Kris

 

[Aisling]

I finally got my computer back, wrote out a looooong post, and then screen freeze. Very very annoying.



Nan, I finally was able to retrieve your phone message. I wasn't ignoring you, I just needed to read my cell phone manual to learn that the icon on top meant message. It's different than my other phone, and well, I'm a bit pathetic when it comes to contraptions/devices. I'll call you tonight after 9 my time, to use my free long distance! Not cheap, just trying to support my disney vacation habit!
And OMG I'm am so NOT pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hinting about Grim and Dede's baby, but then Chicken pointed out that the baby will be a toddler by the time I was referring to for a cruise. I'm a bit pathetic when it comes to numbers, too! Nan, you absolutely KILL me with your "go back and read between the lines, people!" I so freaking miss you! I miss all of you!

Kris, one word, ok two:slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Concerts, card playing, gambling, sports, date nights, you play as hard as you work I think. On second thought, don't slow down, it'll keep you young!

And Dede, is it yearbook time again already? Or is it the same yearbook? I'm lost. Nan, can you help me with this, please! Dede, I hope you're having a wonderful, easy pregnancy. I love the updates.

Tiggie, how's work? I know when you started, it was a lot. But you know what, I just cannot imagine you being frazzled, you're so calm and cool. Chad and I were joking that you should run for president!
I've really made a decision that when the 2008 dates come out, I'm booking. That'll give me enough time to be able to acquire some new debt! But really, my kids loved it so much, I know you probably tired of hearing that, but life is going by so fast, and why the hell not do what makes us happy? Yeah we should probably take a trip to the Grand Canyon or Hawaii, but we'll do that someday, too!

Oh that reminds me, have you all heard about the Adventures by Disney (I think that's what it's called)? Some awesome destinations, Hawaii, Costa Rica, England, Wyoming...a bit expensive, but piquing my interest. I just wonder how much of a "disney" experience it'll be, or are they just using the disney name for a generic set of tour destinations.

Tig, I think it's so cool that you have a myspace.

Bye for now, gotta do some housework so it won't look like I've been lounging around all day!

I was doing some catch-up reading, and Jill, I saw your posts on the Europe cruise thread, that you were checking out pricing. Thanks for the DU idea. I probably won't book through them, but I'm happy to be on their mailing list now. NYE 2007/2008 sounds so great.

BTW, are you doing the cruise mystery thing on the DCL site? Holy cow, some people are doing in depth analysis to figure the thing out. Morse code?? I have to go back to that thread and read the clues again.

 

[trinibjill]

I was originally looking into a cruise for either Sep 2007 or 08 & saw Sea Spray started the one you were checking out. It's kind of cool to follow the bantering back & forth & it's almost like a mystery novel everybody trying to guess where this repo cruises are going to.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I like being behind the scenes, maybe vice president (for Chad of course.)

Work is good, we're flipping the store from winter sports to summer right now. Gotta consolidate all the ski and snowboard stuff to make room for the surf, climbing and bike stuff. The skateboarding dept is expanding too. That's been the only department that will be consistantly busy all year round.


I'm glad to have you back with us Aisling, you've been missed too

I enjoy my myspace, I can keep in touch with the kids (all of my kids ) better that way

My mom and I were looking at that on the Disney Cruise page. We can'tr figure it out?? Half the page isn't coming up though so we can't get the morse code thing?? We typed in longitude and latitude into this world map thing and it came up with Russia and China and some other weird place I have never heard of!? But the weird thing is. is that the spots where the star is to tell the point you put in was in the MIDDLE of each place! It's fun but pretty hard! Tehn again my family is ful of dumb blondes!! hehe

How is everyone elkse doing?? We are all doing good here. We are going to see the play at the highschool at 7. Fiddler on the Roof. has anyone every seen it? heard of it? Do you know if its any good? Someone said it was great but i guess iam gonna have to find out on my own!

Talk to you all later!!!
