Leaving Disney Soon

So we have spent 2 magical weeks in Florida. On our way home tomorrow. Not looking forward to the long drive home. I will type a long blog about the trip when I get home. Here are some pic's.

Brian went to Disney Halloween Party dressed as Packer Fan. What a Daddy's girl!!

My little man at the beach for the first time....

At the water pad at the condo. Aidan had a blast. He is all boy.

Taylor's first water slide. Both kids loved it. Yes, Aidan went down it with us.

This was taken and Finding Nemo the Musical. I am a Mermaid. She loved dressing up.

Sweet princesses

Enjoying Disney World!!

Hello from Orlando, Florida!!!

We are 5 days into our vacation and getting sad that it is almost half way over. We are blessed to be able to spend two weeks at the most wonderful place on earth. We have visited Magic Kingdom twice, EPCOT and MGM. We even stayed at the resort one day and relaxed. The pools are warm and the kids are loving them. Taylor had her singing debut at the pool karaoke party last night. She sang as loud as she could --- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I was so proud of my baby girl. My husband and I are enjoying the spa's--ALONE. Having my Mom here to help out with the kids is priceless. She has been very gracious and watched our kids so we can go out to dinner and enjoy some alone time. We went to City Walk one night and ate at Pat O'Breins. YUMMY!

We are going to the parks for around 6 hours a day, so no one gets to exhausted. We are still tired, but it is so worth it. Every morning when Taylor wake's up she goes around the condo and looks to see what Tinker Bell brought her. She loves it and could care less what it is, but loves the idea. The Pixie Dust is always there -- and it is SUGAR.. but, she has no clue. Innocence is so precious.

We are off to Animal Kingdom tomorrow. We spend Sunday and Monday in Datona Beach. Can't wait to see my babies play in the sand and enjoy the ocean. Aidan and Taylor are just the best kids and are mu super troopers. Did I mention that Taylor rode the Tower of Terror. Yes, my four year old is a brave little girl.

Look for more pictures to come throughout the week!! Miss you all and can't wait to share our vacation with you.

BUSY BEE.....

I have been so busy, I almost forgot I had a blog. Is that not so sad. The past few week s have been full of fun yet exausting outings. My Mom came in on the 1st from Arizona and she is staying until we go to FL. We went to the circus with The Wilder's on Thursday. My friend Saundra and I took the kids to Chuckee Cheese, Monday. Spent all day Saturday at a scapbooking camp, where I made 20 pages, that are super cool, met some friends downtown and we hung out at Rippy's on the patio. I am such a patio girl. My cousin Kim came in from Portland, OR and we went to Macorroni Grill for Dinner. She is currently visiting family in KY, but will be back on Thursday. Cleaned, worked, cleaned, planned a trip and so on.

I have MOPS tomorrow and hopefully a pedicure and manicure. I have a yard sale planned with my friend Beth for Thursday and Friday. I am so dreading it. Although, it will be fun to visit with Beth and not have kid's.

I must say that I am so super excited that we leave for Orlando on Saturday. I will admit I am totally dreading the drive. My mom will be driving with us, so it will be a very full car. We will be gone for 2 weeks. We will be staying in a 2 bedroom condo very close to Disney. The resort is super nice and I can't wait to go down the water slide with Taylor. We are planning to go to the Halloween Party at Disney, visit all four parks and go to Datona Beach for two nights. Brian and I are going to Universal Studio's for their fright night and to ride scary rides. I will share pic's with everyone when we get back.

I WILL FINALLY AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU THAT SAY I AM WAY TO BUSY!!!

Hope everyone has a great few weeks and enjoy this fall weather.

Blast from the past....

I had to share these pictures with you. I was cleaning out a picture box tonight and found some old pic's. I know not everyone thinks they were a cute baby/kid, but I was so cute. Not that I have a big head or anything, but look at that face. Do you think my kid's look like me? I see Aidan in the eyes. I had a lot darker hair than they do. Can you say hideous? That tub is so nasty. I have no idea where I was, but I feel sorry for the 70's. So here we are in High School. Can anyone say too skinny? I was 5'10 and 125 lbs. Yes, you read it right. I was really working it in this photo. I will say that at this point in my life I never thought I was fat. Now, 10 lbs later, yes, I was mortified. What I would't do to weigh 135 agian? Well maybe not. So hear I am with my sweet hubby. We were married 5 years ago in Montego Bay, Jamacia. I love this picture. The water makes me miss the ocean so much. We plan to renew our vows there on our 10 year anniversary. Really it is just a chance to go back to Jamacia. LOL

Me Now...... You say I don't see a picture of you now? That's right, I am always taking the pictures, so there are not many of me. Not worth sharing anyway. Let's just look at the before children "Me" and say Wow life sure has made me HAPPY!!!!!!!

Orlando Advice PLEASE

We are off to Orlando in a few short weeks and I am running out of time to research the area. I am hoping all of my travel savvy friends can help me out. I have been to Orlando and Disney World once before, but we only visited the park. I want to try and venture out into the city this time. So here are a few questions I have:

1) Any good short cuts when driving there?
2) Any good places to stop on the way? We will need many breaks I am sure. I thought Chattanooga or Atlanta, but don't remember seeing much after Atlanta.
3) We will have kids in the car for 10 hours, so any suggestions there. We do have DVD player, thank goodness.
4) Places to see in or around Orlando. My mom will be there, so we can shop and hubby and I can get some alone time as well.
5) Suggestions about parks or parking, discounts, etc.
6) Any advice at all!!


You all ROCK and I really appreciate your help!!!

Can anyone say - Crudy?

So that is how I feel. CRUDY!!! I feel as though my son has stuck peas up my nose and I can no longer breath. It is no fun. I HAVE to get better before next Wednesday. My mommy comes in to town and she will get sick just looking at a sick person. LOL We leave for Orlando on the 12th, so I really have to be better by then.

Feeling bad is not helping with getting the house ready to sell. So overwhelming.

Just wanted to tell everyone how bad I feel, so you could feel better than I do. HAHA

My weekend

So I am still wondering WHERE DID THE WEEK GO? I ask myself that all of the time. DO YOU? I remember being in 10th grade and sitting there thinking that 1st period was never going to end and would I ever be able to wait for my date that weekend. Now I close my eyes and the end of the week is here. Now--- I must say on those days when the kids are on my last nerve and everything is going wrong , the days feel more like 1st period. All the days just seem to blend together.

So, the sad thing is, it took me 5 minutes to remember what I did this weekend. I am so bad at remembering yesterday. So this weekend was not to eventful. Took Taylor to gymnastics on Saturday and the we came home and worried about how to get gas for church on Sunday. No gas to be found, so no church on Sunday. Found out there was gas in Kentucky, so we headed there to see my family. In all my spare time I packed and worked on the house. I do not feel like I am making much progress. It is never ending. That is about it for the weekend.

Today I met some girls from MOPS at Cornerstone and we let the kids play. I cam home for an hour and then it was off to take Taylor to dance for two hours. Stopped at Kroger's, cleaned out my car and ran into Dillard's where I found there are no good sales. This week is super busy and of coarse there is no gas and I have to drive a TON this week. Wish me luck on all my weekly adventures.
