Ringing in 2010, 6 months til we'll be back again

[MeMom]

I'm getting some too! They were both having trouble posting to facebook I wish I were smart enough to post them from my phone Did you see the bird one? I know someone screamed her head off when that happened!! The weather turned out beautiful today - it's really warmed up outside.

I did loan them my camera, so I'm hoping for more pictures when later tonight.....at least there better be some

Just talked to Jamie and they are taking lots of pictures. Between the two of them it sounds like they are up to all kinds of trouble - they got the manager called on them at Conservation Station (something about climbing on something) I told them to try not to get kicked out....

Trent just called me, actually. He said there were some kids sitting on the tiger's back and Jamie wanted to sit on the rhino's back (or vice-versa) for a picture. He said he hoisted Jamie up there, and the CM near them started yelling at them while the CM standing by the other one didn't say anything to the other family. Jamie is so small, I can't imagine she was much bigger than 2-3 other kids, but whatever. Different cast members allow different things. I really don't think anybody big or little should be climbing on them, really. They aren't that thick, and I can't imagine it being real comfortable. I believe they made it out w/o being banished, though, and are on their way to Magic Kingdom.

He said they saw a real crazy looking owl with orange eyes. He also said it was very crowded - a lot of cheerleaders.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Of course, you both (Jill and MeMom) know that the girls are adorable. I love the pics of Bella eating. You go girl! And the gator chomp? Tell her I said, "Alligator, alligator...eat 'em up! eat 'em up!"..at least that's what the gator chomp is for us here.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too - your first as a fiance.

You know Bella is going to be told to do all kinds of things by this group, now that she's able to mimick us. No telling what Trent will have her doing!

Pure sweetness! Those darling girls all dressed up for Valentines Day church!


Jill, I love their outfits, they look so cute for Valentines Day or perhaps a day at Pop Century.....


If you're happy and you know it smile real big!


Cha-ching!!

Those would be perfect Pop Century shirts, wouldn't they?

Looks like Bella got hold of a few fries from everyone. Brooklynn probably had oranges; she usually gets those instead of fries.
We better hope Bella's metabolism stays good, or she'll end up looking like me before long!

Jill--thanks for sharing your adorable girls with all of us---soooo cute!!
Bella will be walking soon

Any day now. Maybe she'll wait until this weekend when she's up here so I can see the first official steps.

You too!

Snow, snow, and more snow. We are supposed to get some tonight, but I haven't checked the Weather Channel today for the latest update.

When we switched to the deluxe plan, I gave up WCC in favor of AP (was trying to eat at as many signature places as possible) WCC is still on my must-do-someday list!

We have a 7:00 ADR so we will play the EWP by ear. MEK is staying at WLV the same week so I'm hoping they might be around that evening so we can visit the villas. If we miss it that night, we should be able to catch it another night (also eating cali grill and ohana dinners so we'll be sure to see it one of those times!)

You are going to be doing a lot of good eating! Yum!

Jill, you have two of the most adorable girls on this planet! What sweet little Valentines! I love the pictures of Bella with the fries! The bag is nearly as big as she is!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Same to you. Hope it has been a good day!

The Bella pictures put a smile on my face, this afternoon. She is such a little doll with the french fries. When she starts to walk you will have to share a video.

Yes, I love the videos!

Beautiful pictures of the girls!!
I love the picture of Bella with the fries...she looks as though she found a treasure!

Enjoy your Valentine's Day!

She looks like a very happy little fry thief!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!! LOVE and laughed over pics of Bella and her fries!!! Cuteness!

She's something. Those fries didn't have a chance!

Meghan texted me and said she saw a ton of cheerleaders too! And she's glad she isn't staying at an All-Star with them!

Jill, I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of Bella grinning ear to ear while she munched on french fries!!! The girls' dresses for church this morning are adorable!

MeMom, we do have the CD to the P&F. Can't wait until March 16 when we will own the movie as well!

I wish all my DIS friends a wonderful day!

Thanks so much MeMom for ALL the POP pics!
You really went out of yourr way to put so many on here.
There is so much to choose from...I love them all!

I showed my DMom and she said " it looks good"

It just looks so fun with all the palm trees and bright colors!

I think I want to stay in the 50's. (because of Lady & Tramp)

Those pics of Bella eating the fries are hilarious! She is definitely on a mission to consume as many as she can before Mommy stops her...

Very sweet matching outfits the girls had on today and Friday. Too cute!

Sometimes I wish I had two girls so I could have dressed them alike.

I'm glad I have gotten to experience one of each, even if I totally don't understand my son and all of his ways...

So glad to hear Trent & Jamie are having a great time at WDW!

I wish I was there today to see Wishes!

Great WL pics. Very cute girl pics especially of Bella eating the fries!

True. I haven't had many bad experiences, but I have seen them going through Magic Kingdom before - doing cheers. They were just walking through, but if I had to be around it outside my door non-stop as some people report experiencing, it would be a little rough.

We will very much enjoy seeing the movie again. They really do come out so quickly on DVD's these days.

I'm glad your mom approves. We like anything from the Big Wheel building over to the Jukebox building the best, but I have stayed in the Roger Rabbit and the Computer buildings, too, and they were fine. I guess I just relate more to the 50-60-70 themes. We don't ever request a certain building. We just leave it to chance and it's a part of the surprise when we get there. There are good things about all the sections.

I am glad I was able to parent both sexes, too. They are very different experiences, and even the two boys were very different experiences. They had/have different interests and personalities and talents.

Trent called earlier, but I missed the call because I wasn't at my phone. I tried to call back, but he didn't answer.

Great WL pics. Very cute girl pics especially of Bella eating the fries!

So glad you enjoyed the Wilderness Lodge and our sweet little girlies.

MeMom-I know you asked someone earlier about how much the Roo plush was. I ended up getting to go to The Disney Store today (pictures on my PTR) and they are $16.50 plus you get one free. I will be going back in a month to get The Princess and the Frog DVD if you wanted me to get you a Roo and/or anything else. I don't know if they will still be BOGO then though and I'm sure someone else could get one sooner for you but I wanted to let you know, just in case, that I'd be glad to get something for you!

 

[MeMom]

The cheerleaders I saw were shorter and probably squealier.

Jill said she thinks she has a set of Pooh & friends from Brooklynn's nursery that has Kango & Roo, Rabbit, and Owl. Maybe she can locate those and we'll be set. It is nice to know we still have the chance to get things from Disney Stores from our DIS friends, should the need arise. Thanks for the kind offer, and we will let you know.

Cute pics Jill! Bella looks like a stinker... she would have fun with Luke!

This is an awesome toe, I mean hoof, touch!​

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Oh my goodness...the cheerleaders...I've been there at the same time as them before and they drove me insane!!!!!!! But from what I've heard they'll all be leaving tomorrow so thankfully, I'll miss them Nothing against them, they just tend to be kind of irritating

I'm getting nervous about the weather...We're supposed to get a little snow late tomorrow night. After midnight I think. It's only supposed to be a little over an inch which isn't very much for Rhode Island. My mom doesn't think we'll have a problem because it's supposed to rain Tuesday morning so that will get rid of the snow. But I'll be nervous about it until we're actually in the air!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I so enjoyed the walk around the WL! I wanted to make it over there to see it all dressed up for Christmas, but never did.

And the pictures of the girls are adorable, as always! Yummy french fries! I love how she is just stuffing them in her mouth.

She's a mess!
Is Luke feeling better? He had ear infections, didn't he?

This is an awesome toe, I mean hoof, touch!​

Might this be a Hooterville cheerleader?
Arnold Ziffel's cousin, perhaps?

The pictures you come up with, Shocker...

you're such a HAM!
Oops. Maybe I should say that quietly around the cheerleader.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I know you will be glad to be in the air and on your way! Trent said it was a pretty day down there yesterday - sunshine, but still pretty cool. This cold snap has got to give it up eventually. I hope the weather will be excellent for your trip.

WL is the perfect place to be for Disney Christmas coziness, I think. I hope we can actually stay there during a December trip sometime, rather than just visit, but I was happy just to be visiting. I would make good use of that fireplace and a rocking chair in the early morning hours.

Bella's not one to let her food get away once she has captured it!

 

[Happydog]

Wow!! I just caught up with ten pages!!! Great photos, of, well, EVERYTHING!

So I guess I really missed that the princess dress changes, b/c I really didn't notice anything other than corsages on them that were "christmas" colors... it could have been my vantage point though! Great shots of the parade!!! Really nice close up of Donald and Daisy tooo cute!

And speaking of cute, what a silly girl with the french fries, that made me LAUGH. She looks so pleased with herself! And I am glad to hear that her surgery will be simple and easy to take care of.

Okay and then the WL photos... *sigh* such a beautiful resort! After the AKL this past week I was saying I think I like AKL better than WL, then I saw your photos and I am doubting myself all over again!!!!

What a fun set of photos at Pop! Too! The grounds are amazing.

Thanks for sharing and glad I am all caught up now.

Oh, and I love dumplings too....

 

[praisehisname]

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical! She is seriously enjoying those fries!

I just checked the weather again and the forecast for tonight has gone down to less than an inch of snow with rain tomorrow morning

It looks like it'll be a little cool tomorrow and Thursday but besides that it's pretty much mid to high 60's! That's perfect for us!

 

[disney<333]

Cute pic of the girlies in their church dresses.
Bella is really chowing down those french fries.

 

[MHTeacher]

Love the pictures of the WL at Christmas. We stayed there one year during the holidays, and it is even more beautiful in person!

Cute pictures of the girls all dressed their matching clothes for Valentine's Day. I can remember dressing my two alike when they were younger. Now that they're 16 and 13 they won't have any part in it....imagine that!

BTW, MeMom or Jill...did you get snow again? I'm having another SNOW DAY---two Mondays in a row!
