The Greatest Trip There Ever Was!

Landon should look a little more enthused when playing super mario bros. Just sayin.

I know that Packer fan has loyalty to Brett. As long as he's not playing the Packers I guess? I watched the pre-season Vikings game with Kris last night and enjoyed watching him get sacked in the 1 minute that he played. He just annoys me cause of all the retirement stuff and now he's acting like he's doing the Vikings some sort of favor by playing. I didn't see that on Sportscenter, I'll have to youtube it!

Haha how funny. I enjoy watching anyone but my team getting sacked!! His retirement stuff is SUPER annoying!

yeah i dont think he is that great of a QB he did good in ND but hasnt really been give then chance yet...so we will see.

cool pic at the game, that would be a fun seat to watch with the background.

Eh...we'll see how he does. He's really hot. Just doesn't have a fan base in Denver right now.

We do have quite a view here!!

Question: are my pictures on my last post looking HUGE to you guys? Because they are and I refresh it and others ones are. I'm so confused! I doublechecked my photobucket too and they are all the same size!

 

[jenny105]

Nope. They look fine to me.

somehow you ninja posted me, and i didnt even see that update...wow he has some pretty big feet what size isyour little guy in?

Does your dad like working games? I have a friend who is a state trooper and he really wants to be in a county where he can work our games.

That's awesome that your 7th grade math teacher was a HUGE Broncos fan! I love hearing about them in other states! I've never been able to really get into baseball. Though I find it amusing how everyone goes nuts for the Rockies since they were in the World Series once. Everyone starts calling October "Rocktober" and I just laugh.

He really likes working games, he gets to meet the football players! At the Panthers/Jets game he met the Jet's quarterback. And he gets free stuff from the games He'll come home with the visiting teams (is that what they're called in football?! I just know that's what they're called in baseball lol) *aka the team playing the Panthers'* hats and shirts with their logo on it. It's pretty cool.

The main reason I watch baseball games is because it's easy to understand what's going on... I really only need to focus on one person at a time- the batter/pitcher/person catching the ball! That's too funny! I wish North Carolina had a baseball team, that'd be fun!

I love the pictures of Landon playing in the kids area at POP! And I think your pictures are the perfect size, they're not huge and they're not small

That's a beatiful view from the stadium...unfortunately our view from the Ravens stadium in Baltimore is not nearly as nice lol My boss bought a suite for 5 years and everyone gets to go to 1 game...2 if we are lucky. Right now I'm scheduled to see Ravens vs. Browns in September. Lots of free food and alcohol=fun for all lol

You ninja-posted!! I'll give him the memo...

Nope. They look fine to me.

Weird! I think it must just be my stupid work computer!

Yeah, he has massive feet. When he was born, they wouldn't even fit on the ink pad!! I really don't remember what size he is in. I think 9 though.

That would be SO fun to work a game and come home with free stuff. I think most football stadiums call the other team the visiting team, but here in Denver, we call them the losing team. I wish...too bad we aren't doing too swell this year!!

Baseball is easier to focus on. Football is SO hard to follow. I seriously learn new stuff every time...there's just so much!! And it all happens SO FAST!! Thank goodness for instant replays!!

Thanks. He had a lot of fun there I heard!

I wonder why my computer is making my pics look all strange for me? Hmmm...

Another ninja poster!!

I really, really love our stadium. I think its the most beautiful one!! Even though I may be a little biased. How awesome that you get to go to one game for free, with free food and alcohol every year! That sounds amazing!! I apologize we stole the Browns hottest player. (We got Brady from them!) You will have so much fun!

Um, part of subscribing to your TR should be actually clicking the 'subscribe' button, right? I guess I was so ready to get out of work that day, that I just left! It's all taken care of now, though!

I can't believe how much Landon has grown since last year. You'll have to make taking his picture in the airport chair a tradition!

I bet Landon loved all the statue guys around Pop! Did you have a chance to explore around there?

Yay for Kona & the Poly! Ahhhhhhh it's just so relaxing there!

And you are a pro with those child swaps! Awesome!

I'm glad you've got your babysitting problem solved.

Love that shot of the Broncos' field. Max was watching the game yesterday (he DVR'd it) and I said, oh! look for Kimmy! I don't watch much PreSeason, I'm not thaaaat much of a fan!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Glad to hear that you've gotten your babysitting problem square away. There's nobody better than a grandmother to take care of their grandchild. And, you've got another person to help too!

Now, back to Disney. Isn't it the best when you wake up in Disney World?!?! You guys have gotten quite a few things done already and it's still fairly early in the day.

Can't wait to see who your friends are talking to!

 

[klacey1]

Great bonus pics from Steph! That picture of Dustin and Landon waiting in line for HM is PRECIOUS! You should totally print/frame it.
Also-- how did you like that Vera?? I always use the hipster in WDW (and when I go into the city and want to be hands-free/travel light), but I like the size of yours! Was having to pull up the flap every time you wanted something annoying?

I'm glad you got that whole subscription thing handled!! I always forget too!

I will totally make a bunch of traditions with pictures for Landon! But the airport one is one of my favs and a must-do!

We totally mastered the child swap. It was superb. I love that thing-genius!

I don't think I made it on tv. One day. If you couldn't tell, I had nose bleed seats for that game. But I don't care too much for pre-season either, so that's the only reason it was okay!

Thanks!! Hopefully, it all continues to work out with babysitting!

I do love waking up in Disney!! *sigh* I miss it so much!

Thanks!! That is a really cute picture of them!! There were SO many good ones!!
I did like that Vera but it was pretty big! The annoying part was that I often put my phone and camera in the front zipper pocket (to avoid the flap) and then it would become too heavy and the flap would hang below the body of the purse! I think next time I'll go with the hipster. The only reason I went with that one was because I was planning on putting diapers and all of Landon's stuff in it, but then I ended up putting his stuff that was non-valuable in his little backpack and just keep my valuables and stuff in the Vera. Hope that helps!

Who had been talking to Steph and Dustin?
The Liberty Square town crier!! He was just a treat! He was just so freakin JOLLY and you could totally tell he loved his job. At one point, he remarked that he loved it so much he would pay to be there. Haha—well we all obviously love it that much!! Then he asked us if he knew who he was and told us that he was the town crier! Stephanie asked him if he were sad a lot. (Jokingly…haha she’s not that dumb, I promise!) And he laughed. And then he busted out with “HEAR YE! HEAR YE! ALL THE WAY FROM THE GREAT KINGDOM OF COLORADO, WE HAVE PRINCESS KIMMY AND PRINCESS STEPH HERE WITH US TODAY!! “ Everyone was staring and clapping…it was so fantastic! Here we are with him.

He was amazing. If you ever see him and like attention, be sure to strike up a conversation with him!
So then we decided to head back to the castle. Landon started acting up. He got in so much trouble. Here he is being punished.

Okay, so he wasn’t really in trouble or acting up! But how cute is that? And I have to post that picture again with a wider view. Look how the padlock on the left is a hidden Mickey!!

Then, we started along one of the little trails behind the castle and came across the wishing well!! We didn’t have coins, so we only pretended to make wishes. Haha.

Then, who did we see in the distance!! A super fabulous step-family!!

They were super fun, as always. They noticed our princess shirts and make a big deal of it. They asked if Landon was our Prince and where our other one was (Dustin was sitting in the little seating area with all the other men) and when they asked if he were our Prince, we kind of laughed and they said, “oh, we get it. He’s the court jester!” We bid them farewell, and continued more towards the castle!
Finally, we reached our destination.

How gorgeous is that? I love my castle so much!! It’s gorgeous!! I could take a million pictures of it and not get tired of looking at it. So fabulous!
We were looking for some Photopass photographers so we could have our princess photo shoot. We got stuck behind the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! parade though so we couldn’t. Lucky for my little Toy Story lover, Woody was on the float right in front of us!

Landon was over the moon with joy when he saw one of his favorite characters!! He was pointing and laughing and squealing—so cute! I love when he gets excited!!
Standing there made us realize how hungry we were, so we decided to save our photo shoot for later and head over to Cosmic Ray’s! YUM!! Steph and I both got the chicken and ribs plate, while Dustin got a burger. This was so delicious!! The mashed potatoes were heavenly, and both our meat selections were divine! We sat by mine and jenny_105’s facebook friend, SONNY ECLIPSE!!

Landon was entranced by him! It was so cute! He loved it! Of course, then he got thirsty and instead of picking up his cup and drinking through the straw like a normal person, he decided to lick the side of the cup for the condensation. What a hooligan!

He was cracking us up this whole meal. Previously, my mom had taught Landon to eat something delicious and go “mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-“ and this trip, we had him put his arms up and shake his body while saying the “mmm’s” and we dubbed it “the yummy dance” during this meal! To this day, he will do it on demand! So cute!! I’m pretty sure I have a video of it!! I will have to double-check!!
After lunch, our tummies were full and we were ready to go!! Hmmm…where would we go next?!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Fun updates, Kimmy! Loving all the pics, this trip is so much fun! Landon is such a little character, isn't he? Love the last pic of him licking the side of the cup! LOL!! So funny!!!

Can't wait for more!!!!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

The town crier sounds like such a fun guy! I will definatly have to go on a search for him next time I'm at the World
The Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters are always a hoot, always fun interaction with them!!
I totally know what you mean, I could just walk around the castle forever taking pictures of it and all the pretty little details that was put into it
Eek, Cosmic Rays, Sonny is sucha rockin' guy!! He's so popular, it's always hard to find a table near him

 

[eecteacher82]

Love the update!!! Wouldn't you know that as soon as we got home from our mini trip to WDW today I hopped right on the DIS! I love the picture of Landon licking the cup! It is totally something Olivia would do (she actually did something similar this weekend on our trip...you will have read my mini TR within my PTR....lol, shameless plug ). Also love the pic of him "in trouble". Would you believe we have never taken pics in the stockade? Once again, can't wait to read more!

Aw yay! I will have to go look. Man, don't you just LOVE this age? I love all the silly things Landon does!! So funny! I can't believe you don't have pictures in the stockade. I didn't get one this year, but Steph and Dustin did. There was a line, so I didn't want to make people wait yet again! We took a while up there!

Another real life update:

So basically, my job is stressful but I have been loving it. I do a whole bunch of things at a car dealership, including billing wholesale deals, claiming rebates, title work, etc. Shortly after I started in the office (used to be a receptionist), another girl who did filing and ran errands and stuff quit, so they wanted me to continue my normal tasks and add hers in a little where I could. This has created way more stress, since often, my errands take 3 hours and filing always piles up so quickly. It's never done.

None of it is hard or anything I can't do, some things are just very time consuming so it gets hard to get it all, mostly because of that 3 hour run I have to go on, eating up my whole afternoon. (To be honest, everything gets done, except the filing piles up like crazy.)

Instead of hiring another person to just come file part time and go on the runs again, they want me to do it more and have taken away my other tasks. I'm not okay with that. Like seriously...it's such a step down and I could understand if I had been doing stuff wrong or not at all. But that's not even the case. I'm FURIOUS!!

Sorry...I needed a little rant!!
Anywho, yesterday, one of the mom's at my youth group told me about a job opening at her job where she has put in a really good word for me. The only drawback is that its pretty far--like 45 minutes--away. But she said, she could easily start me at $4 more an hour than I'm making now, and I'd start out getting 4 weeks vacation, and I could set my own hours as long as I went in AND the lady who would be my boss is a single mom too and totally understands doctors appointments and stuff like that. So please, please, pray and send good vibes my way about this job! It sounds so nice and I really don't want to do nothing but file at a job where I haven't gotten a raise in years because I've been lucky to not get laid off.

Sorry that got a little lengthy...my bad! But please just PRAY so hard that I get this job!! Think of it this way: more vacation time for me means more tr's for you to read!!!

 

[eecteacher82]

Fingers are crossed and I'm praying for you! The new job sounds amazing, and just perfect for you! I have no doubts that she will see you are awesome and the perfect fit!

 

[klacey1]

Oh, Kimmy, I'll totally pray for you + your job situation. This new thing sounds like it would be amazing for you-- I really, really hope it works out!!
I never knew there was a town crier in MK!! I just read your update out loud to DBF and now he's obsessed with finding him on our next trip! That kinda thing is right up his alley-- I think he talked to a CM in CHH for like 30 minutes, no joke!
Haha-- Landon is such a cutie! Love the picture of him licking the cup!!
