its 9 45 am in NY and Im bawling like a baby here! I have been reading the disboutiquers thread for over a year and altho I dont sew a stitch,the personalities of those women just keep bringing me back to their thread for a smile or a laugh, theyre such an interesting group of people(mostly women with one amazing dude )...and then I read what they have done for u(all within a three week time period no less! Im speechless, and that says A LOT for me! )

..fast forward to this mornin as I happened onto your thread, wow, what a Mom YOU are, Your family is so adorable and Im just praying like crazy for K to have a healthy easy breathing week! My faith in humanity has been restored tenfold and I only wish the very best in life to those who have given of their time, $, talents, materials, EVERYTHING, to someone they have never met, just boggles my mind actually!, thanks for a very uplifting morning my friends, and may u all have a wonderful trip! Ill be praying and watching for updates in here!!
Huzzzzzah to all u disboutiquers out there, u are what life is all about!!

Ok, I really hate to do this, but after a week of all the kids throwing up I am taking the easy way out and just posting the link to my blog. I would be more than happy to cute and paste the journal, but there are way to many picture to post here and I have the slideshow set up on my blog. The first 2 days trip reports are posted there. If you all would rather I cut and paste, just let me know....otherwise, grab some tissues, follow the link, and be prepared to be transported to our magical vacation!!! www.hoganclan7.blogspot.com

THanks for understanding!!!!

I am fine with the blog! It is so hard to post pictures from the trips. I know it takes forever to upload them where needed and then insert! Going over now to check it out!

I have NO idea how I missed all of this... I guess it was because I was in Disney World when you guys started posting? Or at least getting ready to go?

What a wonderful trip report so far!! I LOVE it! And I love your blog. Your family is just beautiful!

I hope that they will move this TR to the "Trip Reports" board so that everyone over there can see it as it unfolds. I can't wait to see what you guys do next!

Tell your son that I think he is the coolest big brother EVER! Wow...he has a lot of girls to help take care of!

I am sooo glad you all had such a great time!! I am of course sorry I didn't see you. Everyone in our group was told to keep their eyes peeled for 4 gorgeous girls that probably looked a lot like Lily!!! But alas we did not see you. The girls looked beautiful and I would say that Jamahl is quite a trooper to deal w/ all of that princess stuff...my DS is not that patient He usually taunts them. Your family is beautiful and I think that it is wonderful that you got to have such a special time and I am very proud that our mice were able to make that even more special for you!!!

Oh my goodness...Day 3...WOW....

What a day!!

I just loved the Barney interaction...cracks me up that they wanted Barney to talk... What did Barney do? Just shrug? Bless him! Bless them all!

And Sea World...we had such a wonderful time feeding the dolphins. And your one picture has inspired me to talk to my friends and see if we need to visit Sea World again...

The party looks amazing...How sweet that you guys all had a job to do to get the girls all ready! And they look amazing!

"you see, there was Disney Princess music still playing over the speakers, so that meant that she just had to dance and sing along. She was up on the stage by herself surrounded by volunteers who were taking the set down. She did not care, she stood with her feet planted shoulder width apart, arms out wide singing the final note. Her tired, breathy, quiet voice was just as cute as ever. I stopped to watch her and it was if the world stopped. Everything sort of blurred except for Keyan singing her heart out. I could almost see the pixie dust shimmering around her. She was like an angel. You didn't notice the trach, you didn't notice crossed little eyes, you couldn't tell her feet are as flat as pancakes. She was perfect in every way. All I know, is Gods angels are working over time at Give Kids The World and we felt their presence so intensely."

Now...You see...I am crying!! Like big tears...How incredibly sweet. What an incredible moment in time...and you have it forever!

And...to top that day off with Miss Merry...I don't guess it gets any better than that!

I can't wait to read more...I just hate that EVERYONE is not seeing this...I hope some other folks on the Trip Report site get to see this...Just wonderful trip reporting...great slide shows...So precious!

I just love your family.

Anybody who has not read day 3 on Stephanie's blog, needs to. I am so glad Mary posted this piece of it. I am boo hooing! Magic, pure magic.

Also, I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I really need some little girls! I want to take a Princess to the ball! I had better have a lot of money once I have grandchildren because we are going to Disney all the time!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read the blog and comment! I love knowing that I am getting the emotions that I felt across in my writing.

The princess lunch was set up by MAW. THey made the reservations after I inquired whether or not I should be doing that. We just used money from our expense check to cover it. It was expensive, but worth every cent!

Day 4 should be up by tomorrow night!!! Please keep reading

 

[mom2lilnick]

[oklamomof4boys]
