DISNEY TRIP...part II

Here are MORE pictures and A LOT more video of our trip!

While I am uploading everything and going through the pictures McKayla is sitting beside me sighing and saying "I wish we could go back there mom".."can we go back again some day?".. She really really really enjoyed herself! :)

Anyway..in no particular order..here are the latest...

This was us in the van driving down!~ Not a bad trip at all...at least I thought.


We are headed out for our 1st day....


Papa and KK all tuckered out! :)...


The parade was cool!~ The kids loved it...


LOVE my boy!~ :)



She FINALLY gets to meet Minnie!~... :) (its a video so click on play! :)



Popo and Bug at Tomorrow Land...where Bugs favorite ride was....SPACE MOUNTAIN!..

We had to come back a second day to ride Toy Story 3...3D...(because you couldnt ride it the 1st time we tried..there was a 3 hr wait and all the fast passes were gone!)...it was cool :)

The line for this was ATROCIOUS!...(is that even spelled right? lol)...

You got on a ride that you spun and shot things...it was pretty cool! :)

My WANTED poster! :)

KK at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids set.... (was too crowded to have fun)

I can't believe I actually rode this! NEVER AGAIN!!!!...

KK was So worried about her Papa! lol


She LOVES him so!

I LOVED this...it was one of my favorites!!~..

Right before the Cinderella dinner...KK was "sprinkled"...how cute! and a great idea!

Me and the honeybunch...~



So excited!~...

McKayla's 1st Day of School!!~

I CAN NOT believe it! (say in the Little Einsteins voice)

My "baby" is no longer a baby! She is OFFICIALLY a Pre-Schooler!!!

She has been waiting for this day since we went and checked out schools around our area back in Nov. I, however, can probably wait another, oh, 4-5 years! :)

It's funny.....but it seems SO much HARDER this time around then HERE..when it was Sam's 1st day!!

I re-read that post...and I guess it was just as hard. But there... I at least had Kayla as my distraction...NOW...I go home to an empty house~ Can I handle it? Stay tuned to find out! :)

Anyway..here are a few pictures from her 1st day!~

Getting ready to leave....she is getting very impatient...

She is telling me here "I have told you 3 times mom...let's go"

Walking in...giving me the thumbs up! :)....

Standing at the front door.....

Inside....she won't even look at me she is so excited!!...

"You can leave now Mom" She says about 25 times (NOT exaggerating!!)

I only get this nice picture because I promise her it is the last one and I am leaving after if she gives me a nice smile!~ AMAZING!

Her classroom! (or half of it~ :))

LOVE this girl!!!

P.S. She is gone from 9-11:30....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Happy Mother's Day!!! '09

What a FANTASTIC Mother's Day! We went to Virginia on friday to spend the Mothers day weekend with Brad and the family...

Sunday was Mother's Day...and the 3 mile breast cancer "walk to empower"...the whole family came out to support my mom. A survivor. I have A LOT of breast cancer that runs in my family. Both grandmothers...my mom, and aunts. We walked in honor and memory of them as well. I wish I had gotten a picture of my back.

It said "I walk in honor of: The best Mom in the whole world, Pat Talcott
My grandmother's
Rhonda's Mom
Aunt Sue
all women

Here is our team: It was called "Blanket of Care"....



In addition to the walk, the kids got to ride the metro from Springfeild into D.C...it was their first experience on a train, and BOY did they LOVE it!...

Here we are walking into the metro...
