i so wish i could have made it but seth is keeping us busy and there was no way i could drive an hour one way this soon after having a baby. we went to the mall yesterday that's 20 minutes away from us and that just wore me out! :rotfl: i'm sure i will make the next one though. i talked to memom earlier and she said you guys had a great time. i can't wait to see pictures!
 
Glad you didn't get lost on the mountain yesterday! See you in a few hours!!! :yay:

Black Pearl tried to take us off the interstate once to go about three blocks and get back on. It was the weirdest thing. We didn't do it. ;)



Glad you made it and had lots of fun while you were at it. You know we all want to know why you were laughing 20 minutes into the drive. See everybody in a few hours. We might want to call ahead and reserve the Disney Store for a private event.

When it comes to Jill and me, you just have to be present to experience the odd things we come up with to laugh at.



Ooh - count me in for a Saint Louis meet!!!! I'm not that far....I'll have to check. Wouldn't that just be a blast?!

So I just looked :) and St. Louis is only about 5 1/2 hours from me!! Totally do-able!!

Add me to the Dis meet in St. Louis. It is only about 7 hours from me. I am so going if you have one.

I'm about 7 hours from St. Louis, not a bad drive for me either.....

We'll have to discuss the possibility after the first of the year. :)



Hope y'all have a wonderful time today!!!!! What a fun meet!! :grouphug:

Tracy

It was fun to see old friends and meet new ones. I loved seeing all the kids together.





Wow. in the last 2 1/2 wks DD started 6th grade, DS 2 - started daycare and I started teaching again. So I have been off the computer other than stolen minutes on facebook. I have missed soooo much here. I am starting here and working my way back.

Hi again to everyone here! Safe and fun trip Memom and family!

I hope both kids have a great school year. I'm glad you found time to check in with us even though you are busy.





I hope you all have fun at the Great Atlanta Cupcake Meet. I can't join you since a stomach bug decided to invade my home! I get to spend my anniversary at home

I can't wait to see pictures!

So sorry you couldn't make it. Hope you feel better.
Pictures tonight, hopefully.



I hope you all have a great time at the Atlanta Dis Meet today! I'll be with you in spirit, but my body will be on it's way to Orlando! We've almost got the van packed and hope to be on the road within a half hour. See you guys next Sunday.

Terri

You guys have a blast! :woohoo:



It's just under 6 hours from here so it's definitely not out of the question! It will probably depend on dates as to whether or not a few (or a lot of) Mops show up.

Yay for the Mops coming!



I can tell from FB that you guys had an awesome meet today!!

I'd like to request a DIS meet in the eastward direction someday pretty, pretty, pretty please!

How far east are you talking?



Hope the cupcake meet was fun! I'm definately up for a Meet Me in St. Louie meet! I think it's about 6 hours for me.

Perhaps we should look to see if there is a fair some weekend in late April or May (what's wrong with naming the meets? )

Awesome! We'll have to look at travel and hotel prices, of course.



The Great Atlanta Cupcake Meet was awesome! I think we all had a great time and made new friends. I think we should continue to do this in the future. I will try and post pictures later tonight or tomorrow.

I really do hope some of you Georgia people who live close can get together sometime. You are all so nice.





the Great Atlanta Cupcake Meet was a blast!!!! I know that Jill and MeMom will be posting tons of pictures!! Hollie just loves Brooklyn! They were like little BFF's, so cute!!!

We just loaded them, so they'll be up in a minute.

Hollie and Brooklynn were just naturals together.



It sure was awesome!! It was so nice to meet you!! I wish I had time to talk to everyone more, but whew, Hollie was wearing me out!! LOL!!

We did have an active little corner over there.



The cupcake meet today was fun. It was great putting real names and faces together.

It was. We were so glad you made the effort to come. Wasn't it great to talk with people face to face?



It sure was!! It was so good to meet you!!

We were so glad so many people came.



i so wish i could have made it but seth is keeping us busy and there was no way i could drive an hour one way this soon after having a baby. we went to the mall yesterday that's 20 minutes away from us and that just wore me out! i'm sure i will make the next one though. i talked to memom earlier and she said you guys had a great time. i can't wait to see pictures!

We did miss you and talked about cute little Seth. Maybe next time, you will be there.

Just take it easy for several weeks. Having a baby is taxing on your body.
 
So I just looked :) and St. Louis is only about 5 1/2 hours from me!! Totally do-able!! :)

We could meet in Iowa City and drive the rest of the way together! We did there and back in a day when UNI made the sweet sixteen in March, it's an easy drive!

You are going to think I am lying....but I thought about you today!! I thought, "I should PM kschafer and ask if she wants to carpool!" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: We should TOTALLY do that!! :thumbsup2
 
We had a great time today with some very nice DIS people.

We were fortunate enough to find a little alcove right at the top of the elevator that was empty, so we set up camp there.

Brooklynn and I set out the cupcake decorations.

micnminforever was the first to arrive, followed by Jackie and her crew.

dismeet014.jpg


Connor and Chelsea were both so sweet with Bella.

dismeet016.jpg


dismeet017.jpg


The girls opened up a fruit roll-up. Brooklynn knew what to do with it, but Bella did not.

dismeet019.jpg


dismeet018.jpg


Connor brought a big book with him, but I don't think he read much. He socialized with everyone. Such a fun guy!

dismeet020.jpg


Then cherokeemomma and her family arrived. More great kids and a very nice husband.

dismeet021.jpg


The kids started the cupcake decorating.

dismeet022.jpg


Bella and I made one together.

dismeet023.jpg


dismeet024.jpg


Then reelmom and her guys showed up.

dismeet025.jpg


One of those sweet boys has indicated that we were all imaginary, so we have kidded about that ever since we heard it. :goodvibes

dismeet026.jpg


Look what cherokeemomma brought!

dismeet027.jpg

So far we have HAPPY BIRT.

dismeet034.jpg


dismeet035.jpg


More coming.
 
The girls faces are precious when they see Trent. Is he still with you or are you back In TN?
Looks like everyone had a great time. Chelsea and Connor were really into Bella! Did they play with Brooklynn, too?
I must learn how to make mickey shaped chocolate chip cookies!

You guys should plan a meet up that way anyway, regardless of what happens with a St. Louis meet.

Yes we did!! Whew...

If I can keep my eyes open, I'll have some more in a few minutes. I haven't had a lot of sleep in the last couple of nights.

We had such a fun time just talking and getting to know each other. We are very glad this meet took place.
 
You're right, MeMom....Kschafer and I should totally meet up. We only live a few hours from each other. :thumbsup2

I love all the pictures! Looks like you guys had a GREAT time at the Atlanta meet!!
 

This picture just cracked me up! I guess it's my weird sense of humor but I was picturing Brooklynn saying "Hey! Smell my pit!" and then they became lifelong friends. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Looks like a good time was had by all! :goodvibes Hopefully Poolrat and I will be able to make the next meet.

I want to know what book Connor is reading! LOL
 
That looks like so much fun! Love the cupcakes and cookies! You can tell that a lot of care and sugary goodies went into each of them. I love seeing how all the bigger DISkids were looking out for the littler ones.

Such a fun day!
 
Safe travels you all! Have fun tomorrow!
One more request for the Disney Store....
If they have a plush 3 peas in a pod. I'm looking for that too!

I did not see the peas in a pod in a store. I may have seen a shirt but no plush. I will look closely at my pictures, in case my eyes missed it but the camera caught it. ;)

I made it back. We had some fun, and some adventures too. The meet looked great, sorry I missed it but around the time you were meeting, I was waiting forever for a bus, rushing to get on another bus and then having an adventure to the airport. :scared1:

I do believe that alone deserves a trip report. :rolleyes1
I am caught up here and with baby news. The rest will have have to wait until the morning while I am doing lots of :laundy:.
 
MeMom.....Love, love, love the pictures. Believe it or not I almost talked Ty's Poppy into a road trip to Atlanta last night. We really need a weekend away. I had the idea in my mind for a few days, but then his Mom had a unexpected trip to the emergency room and I think he was a little worried about leaving her right now. She is diabetic and has lost one leg already and on top of that she has heart problems. She has 3 adult children in our town, but we live very close to her so he feels (and so does his siblings) that it's our place to be here for her. But, I did show him everybody and now he knows that you all are not my imagnary friends, but that you are real live people.:) And on top of that really NICE people. He knows how disappointed I was about missing the Memphis meet. And by the way I'm all for a St Louis meet. It's only about 4 hrs for me. If Sarah had been in town she would have made the trip with me, but she was on her way back from Glynco Ga where her boyfriend just graduated from something:confused3 for the Fed. prison where he works. Trent saw where she posted on FB that she was in Ga and I told him. We might just be meeting him at DTD in October. I hope it works out.

Trent is still here. Jarvis arrive just after the party yesterday, too. They watched football yesterday, and Trent played with Brooklynn in the pool. In the evening, Trent, Jill, and Jarvis went out to pick up Chili's and brought it back to our room, which is a suite. We just ate and hung out until bedtime.

They did play with Brooklynn. Connor was very concerned about her not going past that yellow sign, which went out into the open part of the mall. Every time she went that way, he herded her back into the pack. It was so cute and so helpful! :thumbsup2 Chelsea had the unenviable position of holding Bella during the pictures. Bella is not one to sit still for pictures, so I give Chelsea lots of credit for sticking with it during the whole photo shoot.

The Mickey cookies were great! She said she had a lollipop pan she made them from. I will have to remember that. The ones dipped in chocolate with sprinkles were a huge hit.



You're right, MeMom....Kschafer and I should totally meet up. We only live a few hours from each other. :thumbsup2

I love all the pictures! Looks like you guys had a GREAT time at the Atlanta meet!!

We've enjoyed every DIS meet we've ever had. I would suggest you hook up sometime before we do a St. Louis meet. You won't regret it.

We did have a wonderful time. We are so glad we had this special weekend.

I think seeing each other in person shocked both of them for just a minute, because they have seen many pictures of each other. They both sort of stared and didn't know what to say for a minute. Five minutes later, they were carrying on a conversation like they'd known each other for quite some time.

Jill said during lunch they were debating over whether one of them was eating ham or turkey. She said that conversation went something like this:

Ham.
Turkey.
Ham.
Turkey.
Ham.
Turkey.

I think Jill said it was chicken. :laughing:



Looks like you guys had such a good time! :goodvibes

I'm cracking up over this picture!

I think Bella ended up destroying about three of cherokeemomma's cookies.
I don't mean eating. Just destroying.
She licked some of the sprinkles off one. It broke and fell to the ground, so someone gave her a replacement. That one got set down who knows where, and by the time the party was over, she was sucking on another cookie. She probably didn't actually eat one whole ear's worth between the three, though. Silly girl.



That looks like so much fun! Love the cupcakes and cookies! You can tell that a lot of care and sugary goodies went into each of them. I love seeing how all the bigger DISkids were looking out for the littler ones.

Such a fun day!

The kids were great together. cherokeemomma's teenagers not only came and joined in a bunch of DIS stranger/freaks, but they socialized willingly! GREAT kids. :thumbsup2

It is not sounding like your adventure was a good one.

Wigd is having no luck with her veggie hunt. She said she could get one on ebay for around FIFTY bucks!!! :eek:

Trent saw where she posted on FB that she was in Ga and I told him. We might just be meeting him at DTD in October. I hope it works out.

Everyone there was just so down to earth and friendly. We 'mixed and mingled' and got to talk to everyone. I think the only person I didn't have at least a one minute conversation with was Chad. He was helping out with Hannah down at the other end of the side of tables we were sitting at. reel mom's husband was probably a reluctant participant at the start of the meet, as she said he was very shy about things like this. I totally get that, because in situations other than Disney things, so am I. He did talk with us, though, about a possible Star Wars Weekend trip next summer, and the he and reel mom were talking to cherokeemomma's kids during lunch, as they all sat at the table beside me.

I hope you do get to meet Trent during your trip. He works so much, but I hope there will be a short block of time that works for him and doesn't disrupt your schedule, too. He's a nice guy and will not hold back from carrying on a conversation like he has known you before that meeting.

We sure would have loved to have you guys there yesterday, but family obligations come first.
 
Maybe I can put the first Disney Store pictures up now, and then I'll do the rest of the trip later.

After the meeting, eating, and greeting winded down,

dismeet072.jpg


we headed to the Disney Store.

The first shelf I saw had Disney Halloween things.

dismeet073.jpg


dismeet074.jpg


Brooklynn had a mission to find a Jessie costume for Halloween.

dismeet077.jpg


She did not find one in her size.

I love Minnie stuff!

dismeet085.jpg


There were DISers all over the store!

dismeet086.jpg


Cute baby things.

dismeet087.jpg


I was so excited to be immersed in Disney things again. I snapped away.

This was a contender for an alternate costume, since Jessie wasn't happening.

dismeet098.jpg


dismeet099.jpg


Hollie kept handing things to Brooklynn and saying, "Here, you want one of these, Brooklynn?" :laughing:

dismeet100.jpg


Bella was interested in a Toy Story suitcase.

dismeet103.jpg


This dress is very pretty in real life.

micnminforever came out with the biggest sack.
She did some Christmas shopping.
I saw an Eeyore sticking out of the sack.
Good present. :)

dismeet113.jpg


Brooklynn finally decided she was going to be Pocahontas.
Bella will be either Meeko or Flit.

dismeet115.jpg


dismeet117.jpg


Oh, dear Mickey, how good it was to sse you again!

dismeet116.jpg


Earlier, Jill and I had texted Trent that our hotel reminded us of the Contemporary. He asked if there was nothing we saw that didn't remind us of something Disney. I texted back, 'No, we can pretty much make anything into something Disney'.

The reason I put that in is because when I looked up at this,

dismeet118.jpg


it reminded me of Living with the Land. ;)

dismeet119.jpg


Look who finally showed up after the party and shopping!

dismeet120.jpg


Brooklynn said he was going to have to be faster if he was going to be at the party. :laughing:
 
The meet was so much fun yesterday! It was so great to see MeMom, Heather, and Jill again and meet everyone else! :goodvibes I was a little nervous at first because Connor had his nose stuck in a book -- I couldn't help wondering if he was going to be anti-social, but he finally put his book away when it was time to decorate cupcakes. Connor cracked me up keeping an eye on Bella. He was bound and determined to be her "keeper." He loved feeding her his leftover french fries! :laughing:

On the way home, Chelsea and Connor ate their brownies and declared them the best they had ever eaten!!!

We must do it again sometime!
 
Awww! It looks like such a fun time yesterday! I really wanted to drive up and meet everyone. It would have been a ton of gas...and I'm saving every extra $$ for our trip in 21 days :banana:!!

All of those treats look extra Yummy!
Maybe next time!
