Time to DOUBLE up!! 2 for 1 Pre-TR!!!!!!! TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED!!!!!!!

[that's nice]

I was just thinking that your security clearances needed to be upgraded a bit- you know you're kinda like Syndrome- our #1 fan! (and we ARE the Incredibles )

Here, here! I say an amendment is in order.

You know, a lot of us joke about laughing out loud, waking the kids up with snorts etc..., or spitting coke on our screens. Seriously, it's been a long time since I've REALLY LOL- maybe since I read an update from Mrs. The King, but this made me crack up--- out loud! I'd say the above might be a slightly understated; you know that part about being intoxicated and immature. (Next time I say "NOT" in my PTR, I'll know what I mean! )

LOL Your funny! Well after I read your post, I feel compelled to post a few pictures from that night... I am not at liberty to show embarrassing pics of every one else. I'll just post the one's of me and a few others that I can show.

Well my plans lets say I am still brainstorming. A lot of things have changed so I will update soon when I have a basic Idea on things.


I love your pictures Glad you had a fun trip.

Due to popular demand...... The Tuesday night pics!

After the kids were in bed we moved on out to the deck with our cocktails.

We spent the last two nights out here so we decided that we needed a change of scenery. We went inside and were met by MJ having his own beverage.

MJ wanted to hang out with us again so he hopped on Branda.

We headed to the basement and started mixing up the drinks. Once downstairs, MJ moonwalked over to the plug-in fireplace. He is such a celebrity, we had to snap a few pics with him.

The girls wanted to play a game and somehow Monopoly was brought out!

I knew this was a bad idea. When I start playing a game I want to play till the game is over. Well with all the consumption going on, I knew this wasn't going to last long. The girls were chatting and not paying attention. Then some how Britney 'Branda' Spears showed up.

Of course there were more drinks being made.....

The Monopoly game came to an end... because Dave and I couldn't take it anymore. LOLOL That's when the trouble started. We had no other outlet to curb our enthusiasm (drunkness) that Dave and I started wrestling.

Branda wanted some too!

Then, with my back turned, Branda tackled me and everyone jumped on me.

After we pealed ourselves off the floor, thats when the pillows started flying. Branda hit my head with a pillow and her hand must of hit my head as well. The next day she couldn't even move her pinky.... it was swollen and black & blue. We all calmed down and kept the party moving...

A few non-flattering pics of me. LOL

The night continued and ended around 2 for the girls and 3:45 for Dave and I !


There it is in a nutshell. I hope i don't get flamed for this!!!!!

Tim, those pictures are hysterical!!! I haven't had fun like that since college. Oh, the pre-kiddo days! LOL

I love all of the other pics from your trip as well. It looks like Juliana and Victoria and Alex had as much fun together as you adults did. LOL! Glad you guys had such a great trip.

Sometimes you need to just get nuts!! LOL It's nice just to get away from the every day grind. LOL (and we definitely did! )

The kids really did have a blast! They are coming to CT in October for a wedding.. we can't wait to see them again!

 

[that's nice]

I said a while back that I would post a few pics of MNSSHP from our October 2008 trip. (This was before my DIS days!!!) Melody's mom came with us and we stayed offsite in a condo. Juliana wanted to be Cinderella and Melody and her mom wore Halloween shirts and I just wore an orange t-shirt.. until I bought my MNSSHP tee! LOL When we go this year, Melody and I are both wearing costumes... I just don't know what I'm going to be?

 

[All7OfUs]

Whoa! It's freaky how MJ got around! In the fireplace, on Branda's shoulder; man can that guy move!

Pillow fights? How totally immature! And so totally fun!!!! The only flame is: Why on earth would anyone try to play Mono. when drunk?? I can't even win when I'm sober. Give me a good game of Scrabble though... mmm, hmmm... that's where it's at. Have you ever heard of Settlers?? That's MY game!

So, no idea on costumes yet?? gotta see those!

One time many years ago, Melody and I we tried to play scrabble after having a few and let me say it didn't turn out to well.... unless you like to play scrabble with all 3 & 4 letter words.LOLOLOLOL

I don't think I've ever hear of Settlers?

I'm not sure what we are going to be. Juliana says she wants to be Tinker Bell.. but I know when it comes down to it she will want to be Cinderella again! LOL
I don't think I will look good in a Peter Pan outfit LOLLOLOLOL If I can pull off Captain Hook though, that would be cool

 

[that's nice]

On a serious note......

I probably won't be on here much, if at all, this weekend. I have to work today and tomorrow. Sunday is Melody's birthday so I'll probably only check in at some point.

On Monday morning, Juliana has her 3 month scans. She needs an ultrasound and x-ray then after that she has her oncology appointment. She has been complaining recently about pains in her abdomen. We think it has to do with her being more aware of her body. We think it is gas pains and pressure from her holding her pee until she relieves herself. We are hopeful this is all it is. I think we are a little more stressed (worried) about going on Monday than we normally are. If you don't mind keep Juliana in your thoughts that everything will be OK.

good thoughts and prayers for Monday's appt.
have a good weekend

 

[All7OfUs]

We will certainly do that! How utterly stressful it must be to just not know! But at least she can tell you when something's "not right" now. PLEASE let us know how things turn out!! We all really DO care and want to know!

BTW, Settlers is a European game a bit like Risk and a little like Monopoly (only vaguely) where you gather "resources" to build settlements, roads and cities. We really like it.

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

I love the MNSSHP pics!! Gets me super excited for our upcoming trip! (And makes me rethink not attending the party )

I will definitely keep Juliana in my thoughts and prayers this weekend and on Monday. Hope you guys have a great weekend and Melody has a happy birthday!

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

Phew, I'm all caught up again! Sounds like you guys had a great visit with your friends in Indy! The kids are so adorable together and your MJ pics are so hilarious!! Hey it might be worth a mint so treat him well!!

I'm so excited to go to our first MNSSHP this trip!! Thanks for posting the pictures and she sure was a beautiful princess!!

I hope your wife had a great bday (today right?) and I'll be saying prayers for Juliana tomorrow and I hope everything goes well for the scans. I can only imagine how stressful it is so hang in there and think positive!!

I'd like to thank you all for the kind words and of thinking of Juliana. I hate the waiting for results and the unknown is always the scariest. I will feel better once we get the results to her tests.

It seems like a cool game... Do they sell it here in the states (that you know of)?

I love the MNSSHP pics!! Gets me super excited for our upcoming trip! (And makes me rethink not attending the party )

I think with a 8 month old? and a 2 year old you would be fine missing it. Juliana didn't even make it to the 9pm fireworks... but she was also awake from 5am with no nap. We went to the party on our arrival day. We are going to relax on our MNSSHP day and hopefully she will make it a lot later this year.

Phew, I'm all caught up again! Sounds like you guys had a great visit with your friends in Indy! The kids are so adorable together and your MJ pics are so hilarious!! Hey it might be worth a mint so treat him well!!

Who knows.. maybe Branda will bring MJ to Disney when we go and he can experience Disney too!!!!

When are you going to MNSSHP? We are going to go on Oct 6th.

 

[onelilspark]

Thanks for the MNSSHP pictures It looks like so much fun!

And good thoughts sent your way for Juliana.

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

It appears it will be Oct 1st for us! I know we'll be heading home the day you arrive so have fun!! Maybe we'll pass you in the airport and you'll see our sad faces and we'll see your happy faces! I can't remember if you were flying or driving though?

Again, good luck on the tests tomorrow and praying for positive results for your cutie pie!

After that last round of Indy photos, maybe you don't want to share the last 2 days with us??

 

[StefaniLyn]

Waiting for test results sucks. I'm keeping Juliana in my prayers. I hope her test results look good and she continues to be healthy. Thanks for the info over on my DD's pre trip report! I'll be looking into Fairy Godmothers and 1900 Park Fare.
