Yay!! I just can't get them smaller!! The first one with the flowers and me and the kids i did med (which is what webaster will said to do)..WAY too big...so these I did small...still pretty huge! Do ya'll do the tiny size?

 

[Monny2AE]

She's so beautiful- what a little princess!
Small makes them tiny- yours look to still be large size. I always have trouble resizing pics on photobucket. No matter what I do it still leaves them big so don't feel alone! I'm going to have to learn to try resizing them before I upload them like Meghan and Shelly suggested.

Sarah- have a great pain-free trip!!!

I'm in the Disney swing again and starting to get myself organized. I don't care what happens with my DH's truck- I'm making this trip happen and getting my tushy to Disney in January. So let the planning officially begin- I'm working on my binder today. Cross your fingers the kids nap well today so I can!

Your pics look great! She's adorable!

I use the Large size (640x480) and this is the size I get ~

Hey , have you talked to Trixiequilts lately? She needs to come visit even if she ain't vacating for a while!!!

Yes, I talk to her almost daily. I told her you guys were asking about her awhile back. I will tell her again!

I just uploaded some pics to my PTR/TR and finally was able to figure out how to resize them before uploading them!!! I feel so accomplished today!

Shelly I'm anxious for your report on CS at DHS! I swear if my family insisted on Pizza Planet again, I'll just have to let them go in without me. I'll go watch Muppets and they can eat! The lines are just terrible, then it's a fight to get the kids out because they (ok, HUSBAND) wants to play games.

Someone asked about WCC~it's in the Wilderness Lodge. They serve a "Skillet" family style, which is usually BBQ or grilled chicken (bone-in), pulled pork, brisket, sometimes they have peel and eat shrimp or pork, but we don't eat those anyway (although we took MIL one year and she LOVED the shrimp), mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, cowboy beans (which we thought were icky) slaw...I can't remember if there was anything else...cornbread maybe? All you can eat. The food is total backyard bbq type food which we love. The "antics" there are fun if you get servers that are into it-we've been lucky. Always ask to sit in the main dining room, otherwise you're too far away from the fun in my opinion. I don't want to ruin some of the surprises, but if you want more details let me know. I had researched it but didn't tell my family, so when they asked for ketchup, it was HYSTERICAL!!! They do stick pony rides around the restaurant, it's just a fun atmosphere! You can get milkshakes or smoothies if you're on the DDP, and they have great desserts, too. There are TONS Of mixed reviews on it, but we've had very good experiences there and plan to do it again next trip.

Hey, it's a good day!

So far I've, um... you know, and then I ...

Oh! I called a hotel and made reservations for some guest speakers coming to my department between November and March. It took me almost 3 weeks to get up the courage to do it. I hate making phone calls.

Thanks, everyone, on the vacation wishes. I'm SO ready to go. Sadly, I have just under 2 hours of work left!!

Kimberly,
What is an RRSP? Sorry...no clue!! Just think, you could do house renos and STILL go with the 4/3 ...right? How awesome would that be?

Do ya'll know what I am looking soooo forward to? Just sitting on the balconey with my little fam in our pjs and watching Wishes!!! AAAHHHHHH I am such a sap!! But, I do love it!!!

RRSP is a Registered retirement Savings Plan! Investing in your retirement while you are still young! You don't have anything like that in the U.S.?

I would so love to do that too! Sounds like a fun time to me! Wishes is on our top things to do list for next trip! We only got to see it in full once!

Yep, that's what I mean. I always copy one link from photobucket, come over here to the DIS and paste it to my post, and then go back to photobucket and copy the next link, come back to the DIS and leave a space/line between the last one and then paste the second one, etc. . .

Sorry I can't help you more!

This is what I do too! Looks like you figured it already though Shawna!

Yay!! I just can't get them smaller!! The first one with the flowers and me and the kids i did med (which is what webaster will said to do)..WAY too big...so these I did small...still pretty huge! Do ya'll do the tiny size?

I think you will either have to copy them smaller from your PC onto Photobucket OR make a copy ON photobucket into a smaller size. I don't think you can change the size as you post them!

Yes, I talk to her almost daily. I told her you guys were asking about her awhile back. I will tell her again!

HI TRIXIE!!! I really miss those daily posts of "eye candy"!

Well, I shipped off the girls to my Mom's for the afternoon so I could finish packing! Just wanted to take a break for a few minutes and say hello!

SARAH - Have a great vacation! I say take the cane and when your not using it for support you could have a little fun!

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll be checking in a bit over the next week! Toodles!

glad your planning is going well and you feel Accomplished!!! I really got scale those pics DOWN!!! Shelly--yours are the perfect size! I don't know why mine are so...so....mammoth!!!! Gotta work on that...mercy!!!

Kim(canada), yeah we have that, just a different name! Glad you got a little while to pack for your trip!!!

I just thought of a question of the day, type discussion. Do any of you totally clean your house, do aaaallllll the laundry and clean out your car before a trip? Just curious.... I do!! I am getting ready the whole week before we go...I just have this 'THING' about it all being as close to perfect as I can get it before we go. I absolutely abhor coming back to a mess....it then takes me at least a week to get all the suitcases and souvies put away when I get home. At least it's neat and clean for our exit and return and i can feel totally relaxed on the plane!!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Okay, trying this size thing again...Bless ya'lls hearts.. your gonna be soooo sick of my photobucket try-outs!!! If this works, it'll be the boys in their baseball uniforms this year.

they both had red, and were issued #11 without knowing it!!!

RRSP is a Registered retirement Savings Plan! Investing in your retirement while you are still young! You don't have anything like that in the U.S.?

We do. For us, it's an IRA - Individual Retirement Account. We have various "flavors" with slightly different names as well. And if it's through an employer, it's a 401K.

Hope you got all your packing done!

Keep those pics coming Shawna! I just love seeing pics of all the Snowbird families! Just so you don't feel left out, here's a pic of Madison that I posted in my TR last week.

This is Maddie in her Irish dancing costume with her hair all spiral curled. This was at her 2nd Irish dancing competition this year (it's called a Feis-pronounced FESH). She has her 3rd one coming up on August 8th!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Post that one of her with those roller/curler things that I thought looked like electricity!!! That was tooooo cute!!!!! And she was so happy in that one too!Didn't she just start soccer or something too?

 

[crzyred]

All the kids look so cute!!!

Well I've got a busy weekend. I've got family visiting from out of town. It's rather hard to be "excited" about this because one of them in particular I really don't like. But at least I work tomorrow and have plans for baseball on Sunday. They leave Tuesday....

So can anyone else believe that it's August?!?!?! Only 16 days til my 25 birthday. I'm having a "Mid-Midlife Crisis" about that... So I'm ignoring it .

Ok have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Thanks!!! I hope your boring/aggravating/weird or whatever family member finds something to do without you!! ha!!!!! Don't feel bad about turning 25--Sat I turned 35!!!!! I couldn't believe it! I just TURNED 25, how am I already 35? It's just nuts. But...have a wonderful weekend and a super happy birthday!!!!!

 

[EPCOT is a verb]

Hi guys! Just noticed that this is post #200 for me!

DD and I just sat down and total redid our planning for our trip. We leave in two weeks and had our entire schedule planned around going to morning EMH every day. We just came up with a Plan B that avoids the morning EMH but still keeps all of our ADRs. I think we need to have a family meeting to pick which of these two plans to use...

This is exciting!

I turned 35 in December, at least that's what the calendar said...I pretty much refused to acknowledge it! I had no problem with 30, or really any of the other ones, but 35 was tough for me. I feel like I should have my live in order, be in a home I love, have all of my finances in order, know what I want to be when I grow up...basically I felt I should have my **** together by now! But I do have a hot, fabulous husband and two gorgeous, smart, seemingly well-adjusted boys who adore me...I guess life's not too bad!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Ha!!! I know, I don't feel 35 either...it's really weird...like the body snatchers got me or something!!! I did have trouble with 30...I was VERY sad about it!!!! I don't know why, but I just didn't even want to talk about it.
I have a wonderful little family too, so I am super thankful for that! We all love each other very much---my boys even hug and kiss me in public.Usually!! Ha!! what more could a girl want?

 

[Monny2AE]

I love the pics of all the Snowbird kiddos!

I think I'm starting my midlife crisis too- I was okay with 30 but I'll be 31 in September and for some reason I'm dreading it. Perhaps my little guy starting K in 30 days. Or perhaps it's because DH and I decided we are definitely done having babies (and sending dh for a...well you know...to ensure it!). It's all catching up with me all at once. 25 seems SOOOO long ago! I was having my first baby and my life was just beginning! It's all downhill from here

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

You ladies are too funny! 25, 30, and 35 - I have you all beat at the ripe old age of 36! I was okay with 30. Although I do agree - things really go downhill from there! I'm really really dreading 40. I told DH no more surprise parties. I just want to hide when I turn 40.
