Meeting some of our favorite characters

2009-03-12T21:39:00.000-05:00

Jojo's circus will always have a special place in our family! Both of the kids just love them!

Lainey actually liked June! Can you guess why? If you look at the picture, Lainey loved her BIG pearl earrings! What is her deal with earrings?!

So perfect!

2009-03-12T21:31:00.000-05:00

I found this shirt for Cory yesterday, bought it, and made him wear it today!!! It is so fitting of him! I think he secretly likes it!

Lightning McQueen

2009-03-12T21:28:00.000-05:00

As far as Carter is concerned, this is the whole reason we came here! Nothing else matters now!! He was so excited! I bet we sat and looked at Lightning for 30 minutes. We went to some shows, ate lunch, and had to come back and see him again!

It just amazed us how realistic they were. There was not a detail missed!

Hollywood Studios

2009-03-12T21:21:00.000-05:00

Tonight we had dinner at the Pizza Planet. I am the best mom in the world and let them have Mickey rice krispy treats for dinner! Carter wanted to know if Mrs. Karen can make him treats like this next time!!!!

Little Miss Sassy

2009-03-12T20:40:00.002-05:00

Lainey thinks she is such BIG STUFF!

The Water Slide

2009-03-11T16:31:00.003-05:00

Carter loves the slide. He comes down and runs right back up the steps to do it again.

Cinderella's Royal Table

2009-03-10T20:36:00.000-05:00

Yet again, Lainey's not happy!

Mary Poppins is my favorite! I just love her! Carter thought she was so funny because she kept singing "Spoonful of Sugar". He said she talks funny!

EPCOT

2009-03-10T20:00:00.000-05:00

After spending the morning at the pool, and taking a long nap, we went to Epcot for the night. We had some very good fish and chips for dinner (thanks Shawn for that recommendation!). I had no idea I looked this big, no wonder everybody is saying they feel sorry for me!

We went to the Nemo and Friends show with Crush (the turtle) and it is an interactive show were Crush can talk to the kids and the kids can ask him questions. Crush picked Carter out of the audience and asked him were he was from. Carter said from his mommy and daddy! Then Crush asked him were his mommy and daddy got him, Carter answered, "God". It was so cute!! We loved the show!

As we were leaving the ball was all lit up. I love this picture!

Lainey lovin' her new sunglasses

2009-03-10T19:35:00.000-05:00

I got Lainey new sunglasses before we left and she of course just loves them! She is so sassy!

fun at the pool with daddy

2009-03-10T19:24:00.000-05:00

Cory and the kids had so much fun at the pool. I sat my big hiney in a chair with a huge diet coke and relaxed! It was wonderful! The weather has been absolutely perfect, sunny and 80's. You just couldn't ask for better!

Chef Mickey breakfast

2009-03-10T18:51:00.001-05:00

We just got our internet back so I thought I would try and catch up. This was yesterday at the Chef Mickey breakfast. Everybody had lots of fun except Lainey!! She still is not fond of the characters. She told Cory that she wanted to see them but she didn't want them to touch her!

Our Resort

2009-03-08T16:05:00.003-05:00

This place is unbelievable!!!! We are having a blast.

the pregnancy diet!

2009-03-07T20:40:00.000-06:00

I asked Dr. Beverly (OB doctor) if there was anything I couldn't do on this trip. He said to just use common sense so, I thought dessert for dinner made perfect sense! Thanks doc!

Dinner with Pooh and Friends

2009-03-07T20:38:00.000-06:00

Lainey was not fond of the characters at all but Carter just thought it was so fun! It was a great way to start off the week. I think it helped to ease them into the characters.

We're here!!

2009-03-07T20:30:00.000-06:00

It just doesn't get any more magical!

Leavin' on a jet plane....

2009-03-07T20:27:00.000-06:00

We had a delay for an hour and a half due to "maintenance". That didn't sound good to me but neither did driving with Lainey! So we had alot of plane watching time! Carter just loved that!

Lainey doing a little light reading! She looked so little in that huge seat!

Lainey and another little boy got to help hand out snacks to everyone. But for all of you that know Lainey so well, she pretty much just grabbed her snack and ran off!

Disney or Bust!

2009-03-07T20:19:00.000-06:00

Here we are leaving the house! All excited!

t-minus 12 hours

2009-03-06T20:52:00.004-06:00

When we tried putting the kids to bed we had a little trouble. They are so excited to say the least. You be the judge!! (turn the music off on the side to here the sound)

MORE DAYS !

"A dream is a wish your heart makes."

2009-03-02T14:19:00.000-06:00

....and my heart has been wishin' for a long time! I can't believe this is finally happening! We just completely booked our first trip to Disney World! We will be leaving March 7th and coming home on the 14th. The kids are really excited but I know they don't grasp how big this really is. We are flying out of Nashville and staying at the Grand Floridian Resort. We have 6 character meals and tickets to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. Carter is so excited about seeing Lightning McQueen! I hope you all will follow us as I will try to post everyday! (You notice the word--try!)
