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

Nice group pic from NYE. Just wish I could see a little more of MeMom!!

Drew's pics are fantastic:worship: I sure wish I could get fireworks pics like that!! But then again I do not have the camera he does I'm sure:rolleyes1

Disney Live looks like lots of fun. Bella sure looked like she was enjoying it.

Looks like Terry Bradshaw:lmao: That had me :rotfl2:

Have an awesome week MeMom & Jill!!
 
I forgot to mention last night that Caleb and I went to Columbus yesterday and we went to the Disney store (and others too of course LOL). Caleb got a good sized Easter Mickey Mouse for $8 and a squeeze handy manny toy for $2.50. They had Handy Manny swim trunks/swim shirt (can;t think of the name of them right now) towels and flip flips. I told my mom about them and she bought the set minus the flip flops for both boys. I Just didn't think Caleb would keep the shoes on and plus you cannot see Handy Manny once they are on...so I didn;t think it was worth it!

I also went to Toys R Us/Babies R us (its a combination store---its HUGE!!) and They had Toy Story 1 and 2 for $16.99 and I had $5 off coupons for each one...so i got them for $11.99 each and the rest of their non blu ray dvd's were buy 1 get 1 free...so he got 2 new Handy Manny videos. I'm thinking I will let him have one handy manny dvd now and the rest can wait for his birthday or christmas.

Wow...I just realized most of the things I bought yesterday were Disney! Disney should thank me! LOL!

I went to Toys R Us yesterday as well. I got Toy Story 1 and 2 and had a $10 off for each one so I got both of them for a total of $14 plus they each included a free ticket to Toy Story 3,

OOhh where did you get the coupon?
 

OOhh where did you get the coupon?

i think you had to have the two movies previously to get the $10 off coupon which I didnt have so I could only use the $5 ones. I think I will give the two movie tickets to my brother so he can take my nephew since Caleb will be too little to sit still that long, It will be nice for my nephew to do something with one of his parents just him after his baby sister arrives!

481]Here are some of Drew's pictures from New Year's Eve.

The sweet girls.

drewdispics2009245.jpg


drewdispics2009248.jpg



Time for the big bash!

drewdispics2009252.jpg



drewdispics2009253.jpg


And here is a picture of the whole group.

drewdispics2009261.jpg


Brook & Henry, Kathy, her daughter, Jill & the girls, me, Katie, her sister, John, Trent, Drew, and Jarvis. Dave was back there with me, but over to the side, so you can't see him.


Drew's pics are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's definitely got the "it" factor!!! You gotta be so proud of all of your kiddos and grandkiddos!!! Your such an awesome family!!! Love the group shot at the end and I had to chuckle that you were hiding in the back...hahahaha. I hope you're not shy in person! :hug: OK I know its way ahead of time but we really need to coordinate a trip for the summer of 2011. My family outvoted me and wants to stay off-property in that Windsor Hills house. :rolleyes1 We are thinking possibly the beginning/middle of August 2011 before the hurricanes and free dining. :thumbsup2

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to check in really quickly. The picture of Bella that Drew took is one of my absolute favorites. It has been a busy week down here in Alabama - Bella's appt in Birmingham, her 1 year pictures, and last night we went to Disney Live with friends and had a blast! I hope to get some pictures up this afternoon, but I have a busy morning ahead of me because of all the errands I have to run for my upcoming busy week - Brooklynn has karate, I have a staff meeting, then we have our schoolwide Easter egg hunt and spring parties on Friday not to mention the fact that as soon as that is over we are headed to Nashville for Bella's party on Saturday and I have to have everything done and ready for that to be transported up there. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Darn if your day/week doesn't sound crazy like mine! Here's some pixie dust pixiedust:pixiedust: energy that you can get it all done!!!

You made me start thinking of our Cape May breakfast again, so I thought I'd look up some pictures. This may help you make a decision.

The guys were ready to munch down, and the Beach Club lobby is certainly a nice waiting room.

Sorry I didn't get clearer pictures, but maybe this will show you some of the food and the basic atmosphere. This will be a 'do again' for us, no doubt.


OK Wow ...that just looks and seems like an awesome breakfast! Too bad the real Cape May isn't as fun :rolleyes1

So I promised Disney Live pictures from last night.

We went to Red Robin to eat first. We went with some friends of ours and their little girl MaryBeth.

Brooklynn enjoyed her dinner of Sprite and cantaloke.

Bellarie eating her grilled cheese sandwich after eating mandarin oranges and half a basket of fries.

The girls before we headed to our seats.

The show is about Mickey and the gang having a talent show but they have to go find the talent.

We had a blast and the girls went straight to sleep when we got home.

Awwwwwww the girls together are so cute!!! Love the show!! :banana::banana: I had to chuckle this morning when my Brooklyn was responding to Disney Playhouse on tv...so cute :cutie: That Bella is just so adorable!!! Love her huge appetite!!!

He would just tell you to give him what you think it is worth.

He would have to give me some idea!!
I have a friend that I've GOT to call. She said she would do it for us (and did our wedding pictures for our gift), but she's not the one carrying the baby...it's me :goodvibes....and I'm really mad at myself that I haven't done it before now b/c now I'm starting to swell :guilty: I think I'm starting to get to the miserable point :rolleyes:
I'll let you know what we decide to do, and if I get Sue to do it or not. Matt is going out of town this coming weekend too, which makes it a little harder also :rolleyes1

Maybe we can come over next weekend when Jill and the girls are here.

I would love for you guys to come by anyway and see the babies room if you want! If not we'll definitely set it up after he's born, which you might rather do anyway :upsidedow

The show looked like such fun!!! Glad you guys had a great time :)
 
Where are the people from that had the NYE webcam? (forgot their names, too many pages back, I'm catching up!) I was surprised to see Iowa State shirts

You do have a busy week ahead of you - I loved all the pictures from the Disney Live show. It looks like the girls had a blast (Red Robin is Abby's favorite place to eat - she always gets mac and cheese and cantaloupe).
 
Thanks!! How are the Birthday plans coming?

I have two boxes and one bag packed up for traveling on Friday. One box is goody bag stuff, one box is plates, napkins, and decorations, the bag has all my Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals in it. I have also filled 5 dozen Easter eggs for the girls to take to school for their egg hunt on Friday. Mom decorated what she could yesterday at her house. Still on the list - buying the food, making 2 dozen cookies for Brooklynn's class for Friday, making Bellarie's cake, making bumblebee cookies.
 
Drew's pictures from NYE are just gorgeous. He got such amazing fireworks shots! :thumbsup2 Looks like tons of fun. Being at WDW on NYE is definitely on my list of things to do.

Jill, good luck getting everything done this week! You're one busy lady :goodvibes
 
Oh wow, that show looks like it was a lot of fun! :goodvibes

It did look cute. It must have been a little different seeing real faces on certain characters instead of big heads. Jill didn't mention if Brooklynn had any comments on that.



The show looks like lots of fun! Isn't nice to have stuff like that to hold you over between trips?!

It is nice to have the Disney pick-me-ups in between trips. We really love the Disney on Ice shows.



Nice group pic from NYE. Just wish I could see a little more of MeMom!!

I just don't like to be in pictures. I always look horrible, and it shows in pictures. It takes the enjoyment out of looking back at the pictures for me when I am in them looking so funky.

He has a nice camera, but it's not nearly as nice as what he'd like. His was under a thousand, but some of his school friends have thousands of dollars worth of stuff! :eek:

I am glad we only have four days with kids. State people are coming Monday and Thursday, so it will be a nerve-wracking week.



Wow...I just realized most of the things I bought yesterday were Disney! Disney should thank me! LOL!

Maybe you should have moved here and helped us keep our Disney Stores open! :laughing:



OOhh where did you get the coupon?

Hope you got one! :thumbsup2



It will be nice for my nephew to do something with one of his parents just him after his baby sister arrives!

That will be a special thing for him. :goodvibes

I actually am pretty quiet in person. I talk when someone talks to me. It's best that way at my school. I don't like to be in on the chaos that sometimes goes on, so I eat lunch in my own room and don't frequent the office or the teachers' lounge. It's just my nature to mind my own business, and my principals seem to appreciate it. At church, I have my regular friends, but I am not good about making new ones. I meet new people when their kids come to summer camp, though.

When it comes to Disney talk, I get a little less shy.

August will be out for me until I retire. That's when we start school. October is the earliest I feel comfortable taking off. I'd love to have the free dining, though.





Drew got some awesome fireworks shots! Disney Live! looks like lots of fun.

I told Drew this afternoon that you guys were complimenting his shots.





He would have to give me some idea!!

The show looked like such fun!!! Glad you guys had a great time :)

This will be a busy weekend, anyway. Jill won't get here until Friday evening, Saturday we will be putting together a party, and Sunday is Easter. If you do ever decide you want him to do some pictures, we'll work it out.



Where are the people from that had the NYE webcam? (forgot their names, too many pages back, I'm catching up!) I was surprised to see Iowa State shirts

Dave and Kathy are from West Des Moines.



You do have a busy week ahead of you - I loved all the pictures from the Disney Live show. It looks like the girls had a blast (Red Robin is Abby's favorite place to eat - she always gets mac and cheese and cantaloupe).

We'll have to do a Red Robin meet sometime after you have the baby. :)
Maybe Erica can come, too.



Thanks!! How are the Birthday plans coming?

I have a table filled with Winnie-the-Pooh things that Stephanie (Jamie's mom) gave us. Jill shopped yesterday for supplies. Since it's just Drew and me here, we can leave it on the table all week. We'll put it all together Saturday morning.



Drew's pictures from NYE are just gorgeous. He got such amazing fireworks shots! :thumbsup2 Looks like tons of fun. Being at WDW on NYE is definitely on my list of things to do.

Jill, good luck getting everything done this week! You're one busy lady :goodvibes

You will enjoy the beach on NYE. :cool1:
 

Understand that me introducing myself could only happen in Disney World or concerning Disney-related things. In real life, I have a 'speak when spoken to' philosophy. That way, I'm not bothering anyone who doesn't want to be bothered. ;)
I totally understand. I am getting better myself since I am going to conferences most times by myself. That night I did not want my friends who I traveled with to think I ditched them :laughing:. I did have fun that night.

Dave and Kathy were every bit as nice in person as they were in PM's back and forth. They take many vacations & cruises a year to WDW, stay in all the nice places, and they have to have mega-bucks to do all that, but they were not one bit pretentious. They invited me in to see the room, and they welcomed everyone to set up camp in their 'yard'.
Yes I second that. I talked with them for a bit and if you look carefully we are to the right of the swing but way down close to the water. I did wave at the camera earlier that night.



The tecdavidt family and Trent.



Look at Kathy's face. She clearly already realizes she has invited a lunatic to share her party. :laughing:
Poolrat came by, also, but she was with friends down at the beach most of the time, and I don't think she made it into any of the pictures.[/B]

I'm sorry I couldn't stay. I was just beginning to tell my friends about DISing and they already think I am a little nuts.:crazy: now I have let more out and they are sure I am nuts :laughing: I did stand right in that spot and wave to the camera to everyone watching.

Here are some of Drew's pictures from New Year's Eve.

Yes, it was spectacular!

And here is a picture of the whole group.

Oh Yes those are fantastic - He needs those for his portfolio!!!

Brook & Henry, Kathy, her daughter, Jill & the girls, me, Katie, her sister, John, Trent, Drew, and Jarvis. Dave was back there with me, but over to the side, so you can't see him.

Just pretend I am next to Memom!!!! Behind Jill.
I just don't like to be in pictures. I always look horrible, and it shows in pictures. It takes the enjoyment out of looking back at the pictures for me when I am in them looking so funky.
I feel the same way about me. Yes I went out on a limb with the one above but i feel safe here.:hug:

For me it I am way less shy about Disney. I will talk to you until you run screamming.:laughing:

I told Drew this afternoon that you guys were complimenting his shots.

Give him another compliment from me!
 
Once again, I am amazed by Drew's photos! He certainly has quite a career ahead of him!

Looks like everyone had a great time at Playhouse Disney Live! how fun!!
 
I stole one of the fireworks pics as background for my laptop-it replaces one that you took of the castle. Avery and Bella will be having their parties on the same day. A's is at the ice skating rink :)

Yep, that's you! We understand about your friends. You have to take things slowly with non-Disney folks. Weren't the fireworks just out of this world???



*********************************

I am watching this Life show on Discovery Channel. The animal world is a brutal one sometimes. Parts of this are hard to watch, but it really helps me be able to relate things to my students better when I see this intimate look at animal life.
 
Once again, I am amazed by Drew's photos! He certainly has quite a career ahead of him!


I hope so. Maybe he can treat his mom to a night at a deluxe resort some night in the future. :laughing:

I will tell Drew. He'll be happy.

Our party is in the Hundred Acre Wood...but you'll see a little Old Key West in the background. ;)

We'll look forward to seeing your party pictures. Skating is always a good party for kids.
