----lovely breakfast yesterday!!! Thank you once again. Great setting----boy, you have a green thumb!!!
(pretend the thumb is green)
) I saw on the news the other day that there are two new little "kitty cats" of some sort that they just released for show. Were you able to see them??
somehow that doesn't surprise me that Courtney has no problem on thrill rides. It's amazing what some kids (and grown-ups) will or will not do. Wow, Chase has ridden Mission Space???? (where's the green pukey smilie??) Maybe one day he will get up the nerve to ride RnR ------easy for me to say!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I cannot believe the judge ruled in their favor!!!!! 
Unreal!!!!! I am just shaking my head as I read this!!!!! Did they say on what grounds?? Oh, I feel so bad for you guys!!!! 
I am sooooo sorry!!!!
) 
I think I'm going to sneak in your suitcase
it HAS been a stressful week. No way did I think that little ungrateful brat would have a chance at winning, neither did the atty! Mike thinks their atty paid the judge off
that is about the only way it could have went in their favor! OMG I can't believe your mom forgot Lyzzie!!! She should have called someone if she wasn't sure of the time! I would be furious too, regardless of it working out in the end !!Then the Dr.
yes.. less than a week and you'll be at wdw
Is that just insane or what!! I'm glad Kennys college fund is in a 529 plan and not just a fund in their name
Awww Thank you so much! The church had a dinner after the funeral, so Mike said that as our anniversary dinnerLinda and Mike....
funny guy! We decided to go out Thurs. night since we knew Fri. would be hectic!I know, we're both in disbelief! It is a lot of $ and has to be paid in 60 days, so he's not really happy about it, but not much you can do about it. I can tell you, Mike wants nothing to do w/him ever again. Its so sad!Linda, I CANNOT believe that Mike was ordered to pay that money!!!
YUMMM I love funnel cakes!!! Thank you pin-cess!Good morning puppies!!!!
Since everyone is still sleepy this morning, how about some sugar to get us going??
Funnel cake anyone??
Dig in....................(excuse me, that's my piece--hands off
hmmm, shall we now head over to Peter Pan in Fantasyland??
EVERYONE HAVE A STAR-GAZING SATURDAY!!!!!
I know...I see these wdw trips and cruises just flying right out of our pocketsGood Morning!
2X- Thanks for the funnel cake!
Linda- I can't believe Mike has to pay him!
Have a great Saturday everyone!
j/k... you'll have that. It really sucks. He might have won that $, but he's lost much more than that in the end!well, they were saying he was in contempt b/c his divorce decree said he had to put that amount in funds for ea. son, which he did. Everyone knew it was their college funds, the kid even admitted it, but b/c it didn't say anything in the decree that those funds were specifically for college, he's outta luck. You'll have that. Its just not worth being mad over anymore. We'll pay it and go on. Thanks so much. That year FLEW by!Linda----
Did Kenny do alright at the funeral??
Wow, what a week you've had!!!! You have such a great outlook though.
HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO LINDA AND MIKE!!!!
(or some are getting ready for vacation ) nahhhh, we know better----you are his true Princess-----I love the wedding pictures----I haven't seen them in a while---now that I've met you all, they are that much sweeter. It is really sad that money can rule relationships like that.
).
I missed you guys, but the house looks much better!!
Oh Thank you! That is an AWESOME cake!!! Thank you so much. Of coarse Kenny is teasing me saying that I look 30 now too
that little turkey!Thankfully the dinner was at the church afterwardsLinda----what a romantic guy Mike is!!! an anniversary dinner at the funeral home.
I can't believe the judge got him on a technicality like that!!!!
What are you going to do on your big day???? Have fun!!!!!
Everyone have a lovely Sunday!!!!
Today will be busy for me---I am going to a home tour with a friend, then I have to run over to my aunt's house to drop something off, then I am meeting my parents for dinner for a belated birthday celebration, then back to their house for cake, then home for some sleep and work early in the morning. And, wouldn't you know it, everthing is spread out all across the city, so I will be putting plenty of miles on that new car!!!! I best scrounge up some pennies to fill the gas tank (or shall I say scrounge up the $20 bills
Oh, and I forgot to mention a quick Target run this morning and then over to that same friend's house early to do eyebrows before we leave for the home tour. whew!!!
Kenny had fun writing in a card for me. It was a T-rex of coarse 
Mikes card was telling me to have fun quick b/c you get tired faster when you're old...like 30 then I had to remind him hes OLDER than me !!! I don't think we're going to do much today. Its been such a crazy week, I think I just wanna chill. Maybe have some cake and steak dinner on the grill! Have fun, sounds like you've got quite a busy day planned. It doesn't take long to rack up those miles. My car now has 240k miles Have fun celebrating your birthday 
Have fun at the home tours. that would be fun!Awww Thank you Michele!!Happy Birthday Linda
How adorable! Thank you Donna!!Happy Birthday to you!!!♪♫ Happy Birthday to you!!!♪♫ Happy Birthday, Dear Linda!!!!♪♫ Happy Birthday to you!!♪♫♪♫
I hope you have a blast on your Special Day!!!
it was a muddy mess and they had a BLAST! Our boys were covered in mud and the other team had a few girls on their team and didn't want to get muddy...we won 6-0 and we had the smallest kid as the goalie! It was a lot of fun. Then in the 3rd qtr. Kenny asks to go out, that his belly hurt. So, I head over there to see what is wrong and he says...my belly hurts, can we leave now to see Louis? Which is the dog he's been wanting to see!! I was ready to kick his bootie. I told him to get back in that game and he's not leaving early to go see a dog! 
I had him sit on a blanket...and did lots of laundry as soon as we got home. It was fun though!!
The food was amazing; we did change up our plans a bit and missed a couple meals, but we did get the chance to try the Brown Derby. I LOVED it. The Mexico ride is cute too. We also learned the joys of park hoppers. We are usually commandos, but this time we took it slow, took breaks during the day, and it was awesome. But that's great you had a good time with Mike's sister and mom. I can't wait to see the pics!
you'll have to let us know about the AKL rumor we heard...do the dvc tour and get a night there free how does it feel to be 92 that's adorable!! I went a few years w/o speaking to my mother as well
She would get away w/treating us that way as kids...but not anymore I am so sorry she made your trip so miserable!!! That is awesome you got the tea lights for such a great price!
I CANT wait to see your pix!!! watched a few movies...ate some brownies...just what I needed. At dinner Kenny says "mom, I'm sorry your b-day is doomed...we're not eating cake for dinner" silly boy!! join in w/us anytime!
Well, yesterday Kenny had a soccer game
I am going to stick some trashbags in the truck so he can sit on from now on
I'm Back!!! I am trying to catch up on what has happened while I have been away.
The trip was good and bad.
The good points: The weather was great. It only rained for two minutes on Friday, but otherwise it was nice. I got to see the Laugh Floor Comedy Club; that was really cute. The Flower and Garden Festival was nice. Epcot was beautiful. I was able to find the tea lights I collect (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy's, etc houses) at the outlet for $20 a piece (they are normally $50-100).
The bad: My mom and I are not speaking to one another. She screamed at me in the middle of Epcot (long story, but I was having trouble finding her keys and she said if I didn't give them to her, she would call security). She got nasty with us on several occassions, but during the times she was acting sane, we had a good time with her.
On the drive home, she got very nasty with Mike, calling him names and telling us to get out of the car (in NC). We made it home, but I want nothing more to do with her. She hurt my feelings more than she will ever know and I have no idea what brought it on. All I wanted to do was show her a good time, but it just ended so horribly. I was in tears most of the trip.
Mike sister and mom did join us Thursday and Friday. We had a great time with them. We did mention to them that we may come back in Sept, but didn't comfirm anything. I think that if they do come, we will just meet up with them in the parks and not worry about spending all our time with them.
It's strange to be back and I wish I were still there. I took MANY pictures and am trying to get them uploaded. I'll share with you soon.
We got home about 6pm that night and I was delighted to just hit the couch. I think Nathan was pretty tired too. At the zoo he complained that he just didn't think he could walk anymore!!! Some of the other kids were complaining too !!! Wimps!!! 
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
