So here is a little update on our trip. We found out that when our MAW manager went to book GKTW, they had just booked up THAT DAY!! So she said we could either go the following week or we could stay on Disney property. My hubby was the one talking to her, so he said...we will stay on the property. Thats what he wanted to do, anyways. So she said that once she gets the info she will let us know. So today we get an email from her with the flight info and the hotel info. We are leaving at 9 am and we will get to Orlando at 430! I was pretty happy about that. We have a direct flight so no layovers or anything. We get time to hang out and spend some good time at GKTW before we do orientation and get to our hotel. She said that we will be staying at Animal Kingdom but she didnt have any more info than that. She said that our wish granters will contact us about a send off party for Jacob once it gets closer to time. We see them on Saturday for the hockey game! We cant wait...the boys are super excited to go to another game.

Yay for Animal Kingdom and for a direct flight! AK is an awesome resort. The boys will love to sit on the balcony and watch the animals outside your room.

Yay for the direct flight & AKL AKL is amazing. I don't know much about it, but they have night vision goggles to use to see the animals. If you go to the food court, try the zebra domes. Have a great time at the game.

Woohoo we had MORE Mickey Mail!!!

The first one was from Dianemom2. She made the kids mickey shirts! Such great idea for shirts and again the kids just loved them!! A great fit on the shirts too! Thanks Diane!!

The next one is from Just*the*ten*of*us and she made the kids such awesome epcot mickey shirts!! Thank you so much! They fit them perfect and the boys just loved them!! Thanks Claire!!

I also got the umbrella holder for Jakes wheelchair from the first mickey mail we got! YAY!! It is awesome and works great. I cant wait to use it!

Sorry that I am getting here a little bit late. Things have been hectic lately. Thank you so much for posting a picture of the boys in the shirts. I hope that you all have a wonderful vacation at Disney!

We got more mickey mail!! YAY!!! It came right at a good time!! Jacob is NOT feeling well. He ended up having a seizure last night Hes never had seizures and in the past 2 months he has had 3 so we are pretty worried about him. But we didnt have to go to the hospital or anything. It is looking like it was a partial seizure and was not effected very much. Only to come in my bedroom at about 2am to tell me he had a seizure haha. So today he has not been feeling good. And when we got the package that was the first time ive seen my boy smile all day!! One package we got yesterday and one today.

The first one is from dis name goteamwood. We got the package yesterday. I just have to say I LOVE THESE SHIRTS!!! I was so excited to see them because I had always pictured my kids having these shirts. She went beyond my expectations. The kids absolutly LOVE the shirts as well. So much, that Tyler just had to wear his to school today. They were doing a dr seuss thing at school and he was so excited to wear them.

Then todays package comes from dis name disney anytime! She gave the boys packs of fun stuff to do. Jacob wasnt feeling well so im sure tomorrow he will be more excited. But Tyler was so excited about everything. Everything he pulled out of the bag he gasped and was like YES! Its my favorite! hahaha. I love how happy these packages are making my boys I rarely get to see them this happy!! Thank you so much Kristi!

I am sorry to hear about the seizures. I hope he feels better. And I am sure that it is hard on you too.

I am SO touched to see they love the shirts. I loved making them and I think they turned out really great, so much so I decided I need to make some for my twin boys! That is great that Tyler got to wear his to the Dr. Seuss thing. Perfect timing!

Sorry to hear about the seizures. I hope he is doing better now. I love the Big Gives. I love the Thing 1, Thing 2 shirts!

Sorry Jacob wasn't feeling well, hope he's feeling better now. Yay for Mickey mail to cheer him up. Love Tyler's expressions.

The boys look great in the Thing 1 & Thing 2 shirts, and the pixie dust goodies look so fun.

So we went to the hockey game with our wish granters. It was alright. They had gotten us a box seat for the hockey game with their company. Well I thought it was just gonna be us us 4 and then the 2 wish granters. But after being there about 30 min, a bunch of people started coming in. And our wish granters still were not there. About 2 min before the game started they finally arrived. We talked to them maybe like once. The guy had told us that he was a little disappointing in how much they are not involved in the planning and stuff. I guess he expected to do the whole thing, or something? I am glad hes not because he never would answer our questions or anything. We are dealing directly with the MaW manager now because of the lack of response from them. So if they wanted to be more involved, they should of been more involved from the beginning!! I am hoping they at least do some sort of send off party. We told him that we are keeping it a secret from the kids until the night before. So hopefully he can help us do something the night before and help us with the surprise.

That's a bummer. I'm sure the Disney part will be a much more satisfying!

 

[angel's momma]

Sorry the game didn't end up being as you expected, and that your wish granters aren't as involved. Hope you are able to have a party

 

[mommy2mrb]

bummer about the hockey game...hope they will make Jacob's send off party amazing for him!

Oh boy! What a week ive had. It is our schools spring break. So ive had my younger boy home all week. Since I homeschool Jacob, spring break is whenever we want haha. It is also my sisters kids spring break, who live in Dallas, so they came out here to Arizona for a few days. So we got to spend some good time with them. They left a few days ago. And then Tyler decides he wants to get sick, and Jacob decides that he wanted to have another seizure and puts us in the ER....fun times had by all!! hahaha sometimes I think im going crazy

Aaaaaanyways...we got some AWESOME mickey mail a few days ago I am still in awe of all that was put into this gift. SO many people helped and it just makes me a little teary to think of all the hard work that went into this by so many people!!

We were blessed with a finished scrapbook!! So when we are back from our trip we can put our pictures in and have some awesome memories of our trip!! I am so excited to be able to have this and to show everyone the scrapbook of our trip.

Thank you to everyone who put in time and effort into this scrapbook. It means A LOT!
