Dear So & So

Dear Strange Man who approached me in the grocery store,
You FREAKED me out.  I try not to be rude to people, and would normally help people out, but you were WEIRD and really creeped me out.  Next time you need advice on what to purchase for your 'friends 5th anniversary' call your mom.

Dear Amy,
I had a great time yesterday.  Thanks for inviting me.

Dear Mom & Dad,
THANK YOU sooooo much for having the kids this week.  We truly appreciate it!
Love, your grateful daughter!

Dear Jeff,
I had a wonderful time at Disney World.  It was so much fun getting our silly on.  Those Epcot Margaritas are so yummy.  I can not wait to do it again. 
=)

Dear Ian,
I have truly LOVED looking through the photos from our trip.  You crack me up!
Love Mom

Dear Lily,
I am sorry you hurt yourself so many times at Disney.  Not my favorite moments either.  I am glad you are such a trooper and bounced back so fast.  :D
Love Mommy.

{On the day we arrived at Disney World, Lily had scraped up her leg pretty bad when she was trying to get onto the Disney Transportation Bus on the way to our first park.  We definitely held her hand getting on all buses after that.}


Dear Stitch,
You ROCK!
Huge Huge Huge FAN.

Wordful Wednesday - Princess Merida

Two weeks ago today we saw our new favorite princess!  We were the 1st people in line to see her.  (Lily made a new friend in line...it was so sweet.  I will be posting more about her friend later.)

Lily was taken around to "find" her.  The people in her court were wonderful.

Lily showed her necklace to everyone including Merida.

I can not wait to share the photopass pictures of our meeting with Merida when I get them.  They are FANTASTIC!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 11th birthday to my little man!!  Hope you had a wonderful birthday!! 

Ian chose to have breakfast at the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom on his birthday because he LOVED eating there last year (they have sausage gravy and it's Ian's favorite). :D

(I am a few days late posting this to my blog.  Ian's birthday was actually on Wednesday and we have been on the go since.  The last few days have been a bit of a blur.)

On a side note....happy 4th birthday to my blog.  4 years ago on Ian's birthday I started this blog.

Sunday Citar - Ohana

'Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.- Lilo (from the movie Lilo & Stitch)

{Ian with his FAVORITE Disney character Stitch.}

We have had an interesting adventure over the last week since we have arrived here in this magical place. 

Many memorable moments that's for sure!  (From Ian slipping and falling & getting lost to Lily falling a few times (scraping up her leg pretty bad the 1st day we were here), getting sick by the side of the pool and getting her earring ripped out Sat night on the way out of Fantasmic & to me re-injuring my heal (from when I fell last Dec down the basement stairs) running to catch the bus Sat night.) 

I am glad we are experiencing all of them as a family.

LOVE

I love going on the Disney Animal Kingdom's Safari.  I get to see my favorite animal...

 

I could spend all day taking photos of them.

What a wonderful way to spend this morning.  

(When we went on our Disney honeymoon 14yrs ago, that was the year the Animal Kingdom opened.  At that time Asia had not been completed.)

We are now 1/2 way though our adventure.

Happy Anniversary!

14yrs ago today I married my better half.  :)

Today we are celebrating our anniversary at Disney World, were we went on our honeymoon 14 years ago.

This trip was the 1st time I had ever been on a plane.  I was terrified! 

It was also the 1st time my husband & I had been to FL or Disney World.  We had so much fun.


Happy Anniversary!!

LOVE you to bits!!

"If your had the chance to change your fate, would you?" ―Princess Mérida

Lily is very excited to meet the new princess Merida.

Lily requested me to make a necklace with Merida in her light blue princess dress with glitter. 

My mom made her a skirt out of Merida fabric I bought at Joannes that will go perfectly with this t-shirt I bought from Toys R Us.  LOVE it!!  :)  

Mom, thank you again for making so many wonderful things for me.  LOVE you!

Lily's Disney Collection

I have to share my daughter's Disney jewelry I made for our trip (about 1/2 of them are from last year's trip).

LOL, I think she has enough! 

...At least for now.  ;)

4th of JULY

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

Lily is such a ham and Ian's face kills me!  That look he is giving his sister for putting her arm around him is priceless!

We went to a party at my brother-in-law's house.  I took this photo after we got home.  The kids went outside to watch our neighbor's setting off fireworks.
