Love the update...Dh and I hope to make this party someday!!

I just watched all 3 Pirate movies in the last 2 days..you can't leave me with only half that picture!!

Aww so cute! I love Ray's ears over hat look.

 

[jwwi]

Fun start to the P&PP. Luke looks like he is really enjoying himself in the Tiki area. I love everyone's pirate ears.

Now I know why Ray looks familiar, I was in Atlanta for the 96' Olympics too! I am sure I saw him at the track event when I saw Michael Johnson and his famous gold shoes! Great family experience, we had such a great time at most of the events we attended. Sorry, Baseball was boring, but it was so inexpensive compared to the other events we attended. I just love the Summer Olympics too!

Dawn, those pics of Luke are adorable! I love the walking toward the castle, but the pirate lollipop is really sweet too. Those Elvis moves are really funny! Living with a 3 yo, you never know what will happen next!

Looks like you met someone really special at the party????

 

[Marjol]

Great update!

We were just ahead of you guys at the P&P party... we were there around 4.15

And this totally cracked me up - you got some really fun pictures of your DH!

IT WAS WINKERS!!!!!!!! i was so happy to see her.....and completely not expecting it. we had planned to call each other at some point tonight but i never expected to see her without planning it! i ran over to them and gave her a hug. i'm sure when they first saw me they thought, who is this crazy person with pirate mickey ears on running towards us and screaming?????? we talked for a few minutes and i think her kids were kinda shocked that i knew all their names. it was so nice to finally meet winkers and her entire family. i was supposed to meet up with them last year at epcot and we changed our plans last minute.

i realized as i was eating that i TOTALLY forgot to meet flat jordan and to introduce winkers to my flat friends. so as we were leaving casey's i found them outside eating and told her we had to get a picture with them. she had forgotten too! great minds think alike.

the flat people hit it off really well!

anna took this as we were walking away from casey's and when i saw it later i realized that winkers and family were in the picture!

I thought it was neat meeting you and Ray. We Cherie had a great time with our little mini visit.

In the picture, you can see Cherie, Bailie, Evan, Ethan, and Myself. Hunter's head looks like a bush in the background. if you look carefully, he is looking down at the table. I had to look very hard to find him.

I think if I had a lollipop that size, I would pull off the same face that Ray did. I might have even snuck a lick or two.

and i say babies because otherwise if i say "a child" or "a baby" then i have to explain to 10,000 people why i don't want to have more than one. most people don't get that so i don't try to explain it.

Hey....being an only child is NOT bad. I speak from experience. And I think I turned out ok

you WANT twins? are you high, clarie? (<---- shout out to my favorite movie of all time, "steel magnolias"!)

I thought we had already had our 1-2-3 kiddo discussion

That is a great movie!

As far as the twins go I've always said if I were going to have more than one it better be multiples . As with any pregnancy if it happened I would just hope I could be as blessed as the 2 couples I'm closest to that have twins. They both had healthy full term pregnancy's and that just doesn't always happen with more than one. And they got a boy and a girl out of it....what more could you ask for

I'm glad you got to see Winkers And that she got to meet me

I love this pic and the video is hilarious! I wish the tiki's hadn't stopped. I would have liked to see more of that dancing!!

All your P&P pics are great I'm sure I've already told you my faves

 

[KristinAnne]

Great update. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the P&P Party.
Is anyone else nervous that Michael Phelps' 8th gold medal relies on a relay??? I hope no one is having an off night!!!!

 

[micandminforever]

Luke's so adorable as a pirate and as Elvis. I am looking forward to the rest of the pictures, and report on P&PP night.

 

[Beana9802]

Great update! Great movie quote! That's one of my favorites!

Luke is one cool kid!!!

Hi Dawn!

I've been MIA for two weeks because I had to go back to work. But I guess I shouldn't complain b/c my students seem really great this year. I teach first grade, BTW. Anyway, I have been working 12 hour days - it is always like this in the beginning of the year - and have not been on the Dis in two weeks. The housework is piling up and the magazines are piling up, and the shows on the TIVO are piling up, but I had to check back into the Dis and catch up. Great updates!

Glad to hear Sherman is okay. One of my parents' dogs, Samson, just recently went on thyroid meds. My parents have the dogs shaved in May due to the GA heat and some of his hair didn't grow back. The vet said it might be his thyroid and so now that he is on the meds, the hair is growing back. Weird huh? He is almost 5 and he is a real big doggie at 105 lbs. It is pretty much all muscle the vet said but I think he is not as toned as he used to be.

Did you hear the PotC music used for one of the floor exercises during the women's all around? I totally teared up when Nastia and Shawn did at the end and during the medal ceremony. Also, I totally screamed last night when watching Phelps race. I was screaming, "GO, GO, GO!!!!" I thought he had come in second also.

I noticed in the photos of your figurines there were some 3D glasses! Did someone forget to turn those in? LOL

I love Jon and Kate Plus 8 also. I get an email every week letting me know what Disney related shows are on each week and that is where I found out about Jon and Kate Plus 8...b/c of when they went to Disney. I got hooked after watching and now watch every week.

When I went to MNSSHP a few years ago, there was a Villians show in front of the castle and then the Villians had a meet and greet afterwards. Yes, Malificent was there!!!!!! Not sure if they still do that now though??? This was two years ago.

Mom and I ate dinner at WCC in December and we had trouble getting a bus from there also, but we were looking for one to the MK. It took FORever.

I've eaten at Ted's once but did not have bison. Apparently, it is actually good for you. Better than cow.

When I have kids, I want two...so I'd prefer twins. I know it would be tough, but I'd just rather have them all at once.

You get passholder mail??????? I have an AP and I don't get anything. They must not have my updated address or something. I tried to figure out who to call to change it and when I called Disney, they said they didn't know either!!!

As for the 96 Olympics, I went down a few times and one of those days was the day of the bombing. My then current bf and I were right around where it occurred about half an hour to an hour before it happened. Very scary!

And lastly, I went to a family reunion today and I think I was near you. The reunion was in Hoschton and we got off 85 in Braselton. I saw a sign that said Jefferson and pointed down a road to the left. Was I close??

 

[winkers]

My kids were kinda freaked out that someone knew all their names! If they only knew all the things I say about them on the dis!

It was so much fun meeting you in person! I felt like I knew everyone with you, but thought it would be weird if I started talking to them as if I knew them. It's kinda like meeting a celebrity. You feel like you know all about them!

 

[Spartangirl]

Great update and FUN pics!

Luke is adorable!!!

Great way to start the party by riding POTC!

That's really cool that you had a "surprise meet" with Winkers and her family!

Can't wait for more!!!

 

[disneymom1980]

I agree, Luke is adorable! I love the Tiki video. I hope I manage to catch my girls doing some cute things like that .

Just wanted to let you know that I finished my countdown calendar.....thank you for sharing the idea. We won't be able to start taking mickeys off until the beginning of September though .

Here it is....

They didn't have the exact colors that I wanted, but I think it turned out pretty well.

 

[IluvXU]

Great update! Love all the pictures of Pirate Luke. I am so excited to see the Pirate and Princess party pics!

 

[VandyFan10]

GREAT job....I love it!!

Early Sept will be here before you know it!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

I'm not sure, but I think I know what's coming up next!!!!

(Um, hurry! )
