Friday

I ended up making a total so far of...drum roll please....about $87. Not bad for not having much stuff. Ryan had fun catching bugs all day. The weather got better and it was much cooler than it has been. That was nice. It is suppose to be really nice the rest of the weekend. I will keep you updated on the sale progress I know you are all on the edge of your seats.

Oh here are some pictures from our trip for Charity so she doesn't get too bored.

Have a great weekend ladies.

Rain

Well I am wet. It started raining on our yard sale again. We got most of it covered. I can't wait until tomorrow, the rain should all be over. I made $7.50 this morning before I even got here, BUT we haven't had any customers since then. Oh well. I am sure things will pick up once the rain is finally gone. I have been working on lots of stuff for Bethany's shower. I have soooo much to do and it is 2 weeks. Unfortunately most of the stuff has to be done at the last minute. Mom and Julia are helping me so we'll get it done but I have a lot of work to do on my house. It is a mess. Oh well it will all get done next week.

The girls are all better from all their aliments. I still have to give them medicine for 3 more days but they are better. Violet still looks funny because she has been shaved in so many places but at least they feel better.

I really have nothing to blog about as you can tell. I am just bored. Oh well bye bye.

Yard Sale

I am sitting at Dad's house at the yard sale. The rain did terrible things to our tents and stuff last night. But the people are still coming. Dad has made a little over $80. so that is really good for a Thursday. I can't believe how many people are out going to yard sales on a Thursday. It is unreal. We don't even have half the stuff out yet. Hopefully they will do really well. I don't have much stuff but who knows. I have a lot of toys, so Saturday will be my day. I have made $3.75 today. go me! It is hot and very humid. Very yucky outside. The weather is suppose to better Saturday and Sunday. Well that is all. I will take pictures later when I get my camera out of the car. Bye bye now.

Nothing to post

I really have nothing exciting to post about. We took a family trip to get ice cream last night after dinner. Even the dogs went. That was fun. We went to Dad's today to get ready for the world's largest yard sale this weekend. Then we came home and went swimming, we were all hot and sweaty. Now we are sitting around in our jammies. Kev grilled yummy filet mignon and baked potatoes for dinner. Yum-o!! That's about it. Nothing exciting! So sorry.

Last Year with Smiley

Here are the pictures of Smiley and Ryan last year. They were listening to a talk by last years guest. They were that way the whole speech. Last year Ryan wasn't with Kevin and I at all he sat at Smiley's table where he was selling things. He put backs on the pins and bagged stuff for Smiley who has trouble with stuff like that. They love to hang out together.

Ryan and Smiley

Herer are pictures of Ryan and Grandpa Smiley. He may be the sweetest man to ever live. Sonya and Crystal will know what I mean when I say he may be even sweeter than great grandma. We met him 4 years ago at this Disneyana convention and from the start we loved him. He took to Ryan right away and Ryan to him. Not a normal oh I like this guy but you actually love him instantly. He considers Ryan his Great Grandson and tells everyone that is what he is. He means it. He is just so sweet. He gave Ryan a set of K'nex today that his other Grandkids are done with. It is of the ferris wheel and it is all put together.

Anyway my point is everyone loves Smiley. After I took the picture of Ryan, Smiley and Bill Farmer (the guy who voices Goofy), Ryan and Smiley went around asking people if they wanted their pictures taken with them. They even added quite seriously that they weren't charging! You wouldn't believe how many people said yes and posed for pictures with these fools. Smiley makes the drive and the hotel all worth the trip even if we did nothing but see him. You should see the pictures of the 2 of them last year. I will post them later.

STill in Dayton

Okay this is the second time I am typing this post. I tried to publish it earlier and it just disappeared. Oh well. We had a good day today. We did tons of trading and shopping. I got some great deals. Ryan was an angel again today, must be something in the water up here, I'm thinking about bottling it for home. We went to dinner at Outback, yummy. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun. We play all the pin games tomorrow and win lots of prizes. Today they had the guy who does the voice of Goofy and tons of other characters here. It was actually kind of interesting to hear his stories. Kevin and Ryan are still in the lobby trading but I have a headache and am sick of crowds so I am going to lay down. I took pictures but forgot the camera in the car so I can't post any. I will tomorrow. K, gotta go lay down. Chow.

Dayton

Well ladies I am in Dayton. I am so excited. We got here early so we went to Walmart. My wonderful husband found a card for the Cri-cut machine that was Disney. He bought me the Cri-cut machine. I am so excited. I even bought a pack of paper so I could use it this weekend. You don't even need a computer to use it. We are already having fun. Ryan has made a little friend and it is wonderful. He hasn't said Mommy in over an hour. It's amazing!! We have already made lots of trades and seen friends we have made in years past. The pin event doesn't even start until tomorrow. The hotel is very nice so all in all it is turning out to be a good weekend. Have a good weekend girls!!!

Friday

Here is a quick little update on our lives. Ryan lost his 3rd tooth yesterday and the tooth fairy brought him 2 VMK pins he is collecting. He was very happy. I finally got the guest list from Bethany and finished the invitations so they are ready to mail. We are heading to Dayton for the weekend for a Disneyana convention. It should be fun, we play lots of games and pin lots of prizes. We do a lot of pin trading too. Mom is at home with my sick girls who I feel guilty for leaving. Mom babies them as much as we do so they should be fine. I will update you all as I can. Have a super duper weekend!!!

Pictures

Here are some more pictures from our trip. I love Chewy.

My Messy Fridge

Here is my messy fridge. I'm not sure why you want to see it but here it is. I didn't clean it before the picture so it is really messy.

My Upside Down world

Violet attacked my face when I stood on my head on the couch. Boy that was easier when I was a kid.

Crazy Vet Trip

This morning I took our 2 monsters to the vet. Yes, both of them at the same time. Wasn't that a wonderful thing to attempt. Neither one of them walks well on a leash, they are nuts. It wasn't too bad going in because they were excited. But after the horrors they went through in the vet they were freaked out. I nurse about the size of Bethany offered to take one of the girls out to the car for me. I gave her Mira, thinking she is the best behaved. Well the door opened up and that 98 pound monster shot out of the building dragging that poor little girl behind her. Of course Violet couldn't let Mira get out first so she drags me out into the parking lot. They are crazy!!!! We all made it home safely but from now they go everywhere separately or with both Kevin and me.

Oh the horrors they went through? They both had their ears shaved. Well under their ears, they hated it, the shaver scared Mira to death when they used it on Violet, she tried to scratch her way out the door. Then she peed on the table when they tried to touch her with it. It took the Dr and 2 nurses to hold her down, then they had to call in a third nurse to help them. It was nuts. Violet had to have her chest and neck shaved. The poor baby has a staff infection from her collar, it happened while we were gone. It looks nasty but the dr said it will be much better by tomorrow. They both have ear infections.

I have to spend 10 days treating them both. Poor Violet isn't going to be happy when I have to scrub her chest but it must be done to help her.

Anyway that was our crazy vet trip. Tomorrow I have to take the cat. That should be easier but no less stressful because he hates to leave the house and cries the whole time. Then he pees in his cage on the way home, EVERY TIME!!!

Cheesy Gift Shop Pictures

Here are some of the pictures from the cheesy gift shops. David really loved them. We didn't buy much from Orange World but we bought a few things from the big wizard one. It was much nicer. I wish I had gone back there, I wanted to get a few other things.

SeaWorld

Here are some more pictures from Sea World. I love to compare the pictures from pass trips with these. We take pictures here every visit.

Your Blogs

Okay ladies I am getting caught up on all your blogs but I am not commenting because I am so behind and no one will read the old comments anyway. Just know that I am reading them. I am laughing with you, praying for you and interested in your lives and enjoying the cute kid and puppy pictures.

Sea World

We fed dolphins and pet them at Sea world it was awesome.

The boys all fed and pet sting rays. I don't like them so I just took pictures.

Candy Lady

When we went back to EPCOT Ryan got picked by the candy lady. He chose a squid. It turned out adorable. He loved it. It is also the first one that has ever made it home in one piece. In past trips he has gotten a dragon and a golden eagle.

We are home

We are home safe and sound. We got home about 5. It really wasn't that bad or a ride. I slept some. David slept through the whole state of Tennessee.

Here are some pictures of the boys and Jack the monkey with sombreros on. Oh also a close up of David's scorpion candy. We broke off one of the claws so I took the pic from the side but you get the point.

Star Wars Pics

We have had a wonderful vacation and are now driving home. We are about 5 hours or so into the trip. We are not driving all the way through this time. We are stopping at a Holiday Inn tonight. In about 2 hours.

Here are some pictures from Star Wars weekend. I think this was Ryan's favorite part of the trip. He loved meeting all the characters. I loved seeing Chewy, my favorite. The guy who did him was great.

I love the picture with David and Creepy Antennae Lady. That is what we named her, I don't remember her real name. We stopped to get a picture and she just stared at David, so he turned and stared back. It was too funny. She never broke character so we just walked away. She was really good. Ryan's favorite was Darth Maul.

I sent some of you an e-mail with a link to our photo pass pictures. Let me know if it worked and I'll send it to anyone who wants it. Some of the pictures are really cute.

quick post no pic

sorry early morning breakfast, late night,no time to post. Will post later if possible with pics. game will continue at home. took lots of pics for it, no time to post it. bye

Magic Kingdom pics

After Sea World we went to the 2 Disney outlet stores, then we came back to the condo. David and Kevin had wet shoes from the water ride they rode hours ago. Well Ry fell asleep so I sit here posting for you girls. Kevin went downtown Disney to trade pins and David is here talking NON STOP and driving me nuts!!! He is reading this and very proud of himself. Someone please help me. Poke out my eardrums or something!! PLEASE make him shut up. He was just talking to jelly. I am going to bed as soon as my pictures upload. If David follows me I am going to actually kill him. I think maybe Dad and Julia neglect him at home, he is starved for attention, OR maybe they are both just deaf...I wish I was. He is loving reading this. I think he needs serious help!!! Oh there are my pics. GOODNIGHT

Potato Head Pieces

Here all the Potato head pieces I crammed into those little boxes.

Shamu Express

Ryan rode the Shamu roller coaster twice today. He was terrified and thrilled at the same time. It was so cute. I took these pics from the car in front of him. David and I also took our own picture. We had a lot of fun at Sea World. Ryan just loves the animals. They redid the shamu and dolphin show, I thought they sucked. They added stupid stories and too much theater crap. I mean it like a show like the Lion King show but I wouldn't like it if I was excepting to see actually lions. The new shows didn't tell a thing about the animals and had very little to do with the actually animal. It was stupid. They also added all kinds of "family" rides. Basically kid rides that parents can ride too. Those were really fun. Ryan also played in the water area. We fed dolphins and the boys fed sting rays, they loved it. I will post more pics once I download the good camera.

Ryan Pictures

Star Wars weekend pics Ry took. Bye Bye off to Sea World.
