Hi Ho Hi Ho it is off to Disney we go!

[jwallaceent]

Better late than never! I am just joining and will be following your trip report closely. I have the same flights as you .... just about a month later and my kids are close to your kids ages. I have a 14 girl, 12 boy, and my wish child is 4 ....... and I also have a 6 and 9 year old too. But like you I am trying to find things everyone can do but also understanding there will be a couple of times we will do things seperately.

YAY on your wish trip! I love our flight schedule!! It can be difficult and yes we will probably have to split some too. Thanks for joining in...good luck with your trip planning too! =)

What beautiful children you have, and what a sweet little girl Brooke is! It's late, but I hope she had a wonderful birthday!! She definitely deserves it after what she's been through. I'm so excited for her to go on her MAW trip, and even more excited that we'll be there at the same time! Mason and I will be keeping our eyes peeled, and we hope to see you there!

OH HOW WONDERFUL! I was hoping someone on here would be there the same time as we are! How exciting! I will be looking too! Thank you for the kind words...and I will extend her birthday wishes to her! All the best on your planning! Hope to see you....it is getting so very close!!

Do not mind at all! Thank you very much! The more the merrier!!

How cute another Miss Brooke and three! Is she as sassy as mine? LOL Mine keeps me on my toes, but I love very minute of it and wouldn't change a thing!

Thanks for checking in and following, I can not believe it is almost two weeks away!!!

We received our Welcome packet from Give Kids the World yesterday! I can not believe how fast this trip is coming....we leave two weeks from tomorrow! When I gave Brooke her mail and she opened it...she looked at her Nanna and said..." Nanna, I am so cited!" She is just the sweetest and I am so looking forward to this trip to relax and spend time as a family all together!!!

Aww! So cute. That's what this whole wish thing is all about! Glad Brooke is 'cited' for Disney!

Mine is definitely sassy! She's a whirlwind of creativity, imagination and drama--but I couldn't imagine life without her. She and her sweet, easy-going sister are my world.

Two weeks away--have you started freaking out yet? (Or is that just me?!!? LOL!!)

FREAKING OUT!!!! OMG YES MA'AM!

I have started packing, revised my itinerary(100 of times! LOL), booked our breakfast at Akershus, our send off party booked, scared of flying for the very first time, worrying I am going to forget something, ahhhh yes freaking out!

But in the end just being with my family and that time together is what it is all about! I can not wait to just be with family! =)

That is my plan to try to enjoy and breathe! I am very excited for it all to be so magical for my kids! I wasn't going to do an itinerary but then want some kind of plan but if it doesn't happen I am not worried. Also I would like to spend as much time at GKTW as possible!

Had to share...first off Brooke's labs this week were GREAT!! Her EBV, the dreaded one I HATE, is pending still. Transplant coordinator said no news is good news...I am so hoping for no news! Otherwise, we get a whole month off!!! When I said YAY our trip to Disney is in two weeks she said....well if you want to come in before you leave just to make sure all is ok you can....she knows I worry all the time...we have been on labs weekly for so long a month scares me when we get them! She said she was going to leave the ball in my court and let me decide...I think if she seems out of the ordinary I will if not then I will let her go til we get back!

Second...last night we were doing our countdown and Brooke looked at me and said do I have to go to Nanna's anymore? She knows if I say no we are headed to Disney...I said yes you have to go to Nanna's 8 more days then we go to Disney! She said..."all man I love Nanna and Pappaw alot mom but I don't want to go there anymore I would rather go to Disanee!" I about lost it. I called my mom and she was like why does it have to be about going to nanna's I said she said she loves you but...(it was just too too cute!)

Countdown is getting lower and lower each day!! 12 more days! Send off party Tuesday! Packing and cleaning this weekend!! I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful weekend!!

Our send off party was Tuesday night. Here are a few pictures from our night! We were very excited...well mommy was an emotional mess! Make A Wish is such an amazing foundation! They truly do put smiles on the faces of families...one wish at a time! It was so nice to see all three of my kids excited and smiling after what our family has been through these last three years...and our trip hasn't even started! They were beyond smiles to hear a limo will be picking us up!! Here are a few pics....

Limo! Awesome--the trip hasn't even started yet and the surprise just keep coming. What a memory this will be for the whole family. A time to just focus on being together and forget about everything else at home.

Sending you good luck and extra TIME for all of those last-minute plans....
