"Splash" Mountain My Rear...


Just want to say for the record that just getting splashed would have been a treat - instead we got drenched and I think we may have had a little too much weight in the boat,
if you follow me...

Regardless, tons of fun...of course...

For Robyn...

A little piece of Disneyland for all my Disney Buddies...(especially Robyn!)
This is my whole entourage.
"Ready for lift-off in five, four, three, two, one.......blast off!"
(Oh, and Happy Pumpkin Day everyone!)

7 Month LID & a quick Hello!



Greetings from California and the Magic Kingdom fellow blogger pals! I actually made the trip back to No. Cali from Southern CA. today with my Mom and am sleepily typing this quick post to say that I will have pics from the trip for your viewing pleasure as soon as I get home to TX- but I wanted to wish AB and me a "Happy 7 Month LID" - I'm two days late, but what the heck.

This picture was drawn free-hand by my little sister - way to go Ashley! Mickey and Minnie were terrific hosts for our trip and we did have a great time. It's always sad to leave Disneyland...but I suppose living in Fantasyland is out of the question? I thought Peter Pan had some pretty cool digs...right up my alley!

There is no doubt that I am missing my husband and animals and it's always hard to be apart for long periods of time. Ten days too many in this case...can't wait to see you babe!

Meanwhile, I have a couple more days here before flying home. I'm planning on relaxing a little, catching up on sleep (my feet hate me after three days in the park) and I'm also planning on visiting my absolute favorite sushi joint - Mikuni. Can't wait!

Hope all is well for everyone - I just read all my linked blogs and everyone seems to be in one piece still. Check out Rod and Mary-Mia's gorgeous newly adopted twins and their current journey in China- they are too cute for words...

Back in a few more days ~ cb

Anton says "Thanks"

So, for the first time, it’s not Christie writing here, but Anton.

Hi everyone, it’s Anton.

Now that we firmly rammed into the ground; “who is doing the blogging”, the next question would be …why?

I just celebrated my 35th birthday today. Yippee. I am so NOT one to do big things on my birthday, so I did my usual routine. Alarm at 4:30, out by 4:45, doing laps at the natatorium by 5:15, finished by 6:15, and then school from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm (with rehearsals and such) followed by going home, having my birthday dinner with my wife, and then crashing at home. To be followed by her going to California for 10 days, which I don’t like much. I mean, its okay that she’s in California and all, but I hate being alone over here. This is why I married my best friend …

ANYWAYS, got caught on a tangent there. Bottom line: I got a real COOL present from the secret pal that Christie has, which now makes her MY secret pal. I got a cap with the Chinese characters for “father” on it, so that I could wear it when we go to pick up KJ. I wore it on Saturday, right out of the box; I thought it was so groovy.

So, to the secret pal out there: THANKS SO MUCH!!! For the rest of ya: HIYA! I might do this again in another year or so. If any of you live in the North Dallas area: come see the next play my kids are putting on. Nov. 2 & 3, 7 pm – Pioneer Heritage Middle School – The Phantom Tollbooth. It’s gonna be a very cool thing.

See ya!
Anton
