So many great pictures of the kids and all the gifts they have received. I love the one of Trace with all the water bottles. I think it is so sweet to hear yoor DD say "I've always wanted one of these". I have a feeling Trace is going to get alot of use out that camera. I guess he can even take it on Splash Mountain. The autograph book is really cool - I'm sure you guys will really enjoy Star Wars Weekend.

Hi Tonya!! I have to say your son is a boy out for my own heart! I'm also a huge Star Wars fan. And I love that your son has a creative side to him! Legos are awesome!! I'm impressed that he sketches out his own LEGO creations. Maybe he will have a future in Architecture or product design?

I'm so excited that you guys are going for Star Wars Weekends. This is my dream!! Trace is going to be on Cloud 9 for sure.

YAY for the Big Give! The ladies on the boards are saints among mortals, I tell ya!

Trace received a BigGive box today!!

He tore into it and found the note:

Thanks to Jill--disBoards ID--JASO202--for the wonderful water bottle holders. They are beautiful and are sooo us!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the fabric choices and embroidery. If you don't already...you really need an etsy shop to feature these. They are really going to come in handy!!

Thanks so much!! Jason, Tonya, Katie, Kelsi and Trace!!!

The last pic cracked me up!

Those water bottle holders are awesome! You're absolutely right Tonya, if Jill doesn't already have a Etsy shop selling these, she should open one. I'd totally buy a few of these!

 

[that's nice]

Tim must of cleaned Disney out of map's on their last trip

I can't take the credit for the maps.... it was Wendy's idea!

But yea, I think I added a few pounds to my luggage from all the maps I 'stole'

I am glad to see the package got there, and I am sorry that I ruined a surprise! Oops! I hope he will enjoy using the bag and have a blast doing the Hidden Mickey hunt!

You didn't ruin it. We were waiting for your special bag to come before we gave it to him. Thanks so much!! He absolutely loves it.

I think he will have a future in design. He loves to get the packs of Legos, puts them together and then create new stuff.

They are saints!!

We got the maps from Tim and Family too. I plan to bring them on the plane they will burn a lot of time

He LOVES the maps!! He had them ALL laying out on the bar checking them out making plans. Looks like we will be zig-zagging all over the place.

WOW! The generosity is overwhelming!! Thanks so much for everyone taking time from their families to make and put together special packages for my kids. It is soooooo much appreciated.

#1--from Allison&Malachi--disName: TEBI73

Inside the box was the most awesome Star Wars bag!! Trace loved it and all the characters on it. Inside was FULL of goodies!! I don't know how you stuffed it in the box.

Sorry to say after a late evening chocolate craving...the M&Ms were consumed. LOL!! Will have to resupply that. The book and hot wheels and Silly Beans (need to figure out what these are ) Everything was awesome!!! Thanks so much!!!

 

[billwendy]

Yay!!! I'm so glad the bracelets arrived!!! My mom wanted to help me out with a BigGive and she always makes pretty bracelets ... I didn't want her to ship them to me first and then on to you (I was worried with Charlotte's strange mail service they'd get delayed) so she shipped them direct! I'm so glad you like them!!!!

BIG GIVE PEEPS ROCK!!! What cool things!! Fabulous way to build excitment!!

 

[Tonyababyrn]

Things are pretty busy around here. Finishing up our school year, 3 photoshoots this week, travel to Houston next week to MD Anderson for Trace's checkup (with surprise Astros game ssshhhh), Make a Wish party the next week, then WDW the next!!! 3 wks to go!!!

Oh...and hubby's birthday is tomorrow. Trace has been telling him allll day "44 today, 45 tomorrow". LOL!! Turning 40 didn't bother him, turning 45 is!

Anyhoo...

Thanks to the secret agent who sent Trace a postcard from Disney this past week. He LOVED it!!

Thanks to the Stern Family (disname: mphalens) for the AWESOME Star Wars Weekend shirt and pressed penny holders. So clever and convenient. I think I like doing them as much as he does.

Awesome gives!! Thanks so much.

The kids received some great Animal Kingdom shirts from Liz (disname--babynala).

Kelsi modeling Katie's shirt (she's finishing up her 1st year of grad school, she says "thanks")

Next give is from Wendy!! (disname: billwendy). She sent the most awesome Mickey embossed binder for me to keep all my paperwork in ....whoops....for Trace to keep all his drawings in. She also sent some cute little k-nex mini sets and some pens/pencils. I should never hear him say "Mom, where is a pencil?" again. LOL

Thanks to everyone!!! We are soo grateful!
