First let me start by reintroducing the cast.
* I just pasted and recopied this from old TR.
Its Police officers Vanilla and Frog Toffee... I have no idea! lol Kids come up with the craziest things. They just walked out into the living room and I had to get this pic. The next night they were captin underpants and poopoo head. They keep me entertained.
This is my daughter and I at Animal Kingdom Sept 07 after Kali River Rapids. That was one hot miserable day.
This is my sister on the left with my daughter on the right. This pic is kind of backward because my sister usually wears makeup and my daughter doesnt. But that was a night when my sister took my daughter out for a makeover. It was a example of some of the sweet things that she does. Its kind of strange sometimes having a sister and a daughter close in age!
Since you are all following along on my sisters audition I thought I would show you some of her nicer studio pics. This was a pic that was done last year before her sweet 16th. I threw her a Mad Hatter party and she came as the Queen of Hearts. You can see how pretty of a girl she is.
This is the way she normally looks without all the makeup.
Here is my husband . This was taken at Ak last year. Every pic I see of us from that day we are miserably hot. I hope this year is cooler. I guess I should be saying I hope there is no hurricane as well!
This was on the most precious moments our whole trip. This was such a big deal to my son and he was so shy. The cowgirl was so good to him and really had no idea how much it could have meant to him . This is him taking the cowboy oath. He saw Woody prior to the show and wanted to hug him but they were going inside. He just collapsed of a broken heart. I have never seen him act like that. I went over to the handler and she gave him a few special minutes with the characters and when they came out for the roundup a few minutes later they all knew he was waiting and gave him lots of attention. Much to my daughters amusement they pulled me in as well. I had to dance with a big cowboy hat on my head. There on the side was my smart alec daughter laughing and holding the video camera. This trip I promised her I will get her back. lol
This is my other son and he loved when we got to the park early and got to ride the rides with the characters. He wanted to make in on time to ride on Dumbo with Stitch buthe left before we got through that blasted long line. I had no idea the characters came out early and rode the rides. Now that we know it will be something we aim for everytime. Its our goal that we will make rope drops this time. Last time we made it in about 15 20 minutes after opening. Which was good for us. But this time we want to get in before opening.
This is a typical example of my house. Here I am trying to take a pic for my myspace and the little booger runs up behind me and scares the crap out of me. Lol I had no idea he was in the pic till after I uploaded it.
And the crowning touch! Dont we look like we like we get along? lol I have to tell you the story behind this pic. This was one we used on our Biggest Loser application. My mom and I were sooo close to being on the now soon to air season of Biggest Loser. We made it past a couple hundred thousand all the way to NBC executives . Past casting directors and everthing. We were waiting on pins and needles and told that any we might be asked to hop a plane and fly to LA at any time . Well we didnt make the cut because in the end they had a certain slot to fill and in our case they needed a hispanic mother daughter to even out the show. We were also told we were top in line for the next season ( the one that started filming in a couple weeks)(* UPDATE the one thats airing now) . But my mom tired of the stress went ahead with her gastric bypass. Now the stress was pretty horrible. We worked so hard and had to submit video after video and give interviews and so on. We dont even get along so everything was a huge struggle for us. My friend Jen Widder was on season 5 ( she helped us through the casting process)and I went to go see her in NYC and got to meet Jillian Michaels. Wow is all I can say about the experience. I dont care of someone is a celebrity. I dont get nervous or impressed. But she was amazing and so so sweet. She gave me a big hug and told me that I didnt make it because God knew I didnt need the show. And that I was strong enough to do this on my own. I cried and she hugged me and we had a nice talk. She told me if I did get on the show she would kick my #$% . lol She lectured me against gastric bypass and gave me the best inspiration anyone ever could. I went out and got a trainer/ gym membership and havent looked back. I have a lot to lose so its really daunting. But I told myself I can eat what I want just a lot less. So far so good. Its not pouring off like it is with my mom . But its coming off at a pretty steady but slow rate.So at WDW I plan on ordering kids meals , getting fruit and that kind of stuff. All the walking will help to. Maybe my trip report name should be Disney on a diet? Sorry to get off topic but as you can imagine its a big part of my dynamic with my mother right now. Its like she wants to compete with me as to who can lose it faster. She is always asking me " So what are you down to now?" uggg
UPDATE: My mom has since lost over 65 pounds with her gastric. I am down 20 since these pics. A long ways to go but I am feeling better about it. My new goal for my December trip is to be at my goal weight! 80 pounds less than I am now. Its a huge help to have something to look foward to. I told myself as my reward I would book my first ever visit to Cinderella's Royal table . But thats abnother trip report!
Thats Jen on the right.
and 4 brothers. Yea...that makes lots of in-laws for me. I went to WDW last October, we have no plans for a trip in the future. So I am going to live vicariously through you so make sure we have a really good time.
If you haven't, read it now before you go, and surely NOTHING your sister pulls would be that bad! Go on, read it.... 
my 40th in the Heart of the Magic next year and I'm looking for ideas 
I feel so bad that you're having so many obstacles to your trip. It still just might work out. And as for your sister having mono - it's not always really bad. When I had mono in high school, I missed four days of school and just had a sore throat. No biggy.
She wants to be treated like she's "grown-up" but is not quite ready to let go of her little girl days.
. I was initially only joking about the soap opera bit but hey if the shoulder pads fit doll
