Pool fun with grandma!

Okay, now I REALLY want a pool , more now than ever before. We are livin the good life here in Florida. Mike and Chase are at Universal Studios today, and the girls went to Paula's sister's house to swim. It was pretty cloudy, so we didn't improve our tan lines, but we had fun anyway!!

WONDERFUL world of Disney!

WHEW!!!!! is all I can say today, after spending 12 hours at Disney World yesterday! It really is an awesome place. I grew up in California, so was priveledged to visit Disneyland a few times, and also went to disneyworld here when I was about Chase's age. I'm so glad the kids could experience it for themselves. Just the castle is magical - it turns different colors at night, and they have an AWESOME parade at night - it's a light spectacular! It was cool to go on It's a Small World with the kids, knowing I went on the same adventure when I was little....here's a few pics of many taken yesterday. Oh, and today was THE day, that Brooke became a princess. LOVED it - she also met Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty and Alice one on one in a private viewing room- cool!

Florida Fun

Well, Florida is a blast. It is saturday and we are taking the day off from sight seeing, whew. We went to downtown Disney thursday and shopped at Lego world, Princess store and Goofy's candy shop. We also rented a boat and took it our for 45 minutes (we did this last yr too!) the kids took turns driving it. FUN!! I think that;s my favorite thing so far. If we ever win the lottery, we are buying one! Then we went to this cool place called Wonder World. Kinda a cross between the science center and magic house. Cool. Yesterday we drove to Clearwater beach (sorry we didn't hook up with you guys Kelli) For some reason, I thought you guys were gone home already. We got Lees message at 4pm as we drove out of town. We were hot and TIRED after a fun day of being on the beach. We got down there at about 10:15 and got a good parking spot, thanks for the tip. After a few hrs on the beach we went to Ports pizza, YUM! Mike and i got a pitcher of beer too! Then we headed down to the pier. After that we were done!! Next yr maybe. It would've been awesome to see you all and maybe take a rest inside to make it longer down there, but oh well. You sure have been livin the good life (to use Chase's words) down there!! Tomorrow we will hit Disneyworld!! Julie, thanks for keepin an eye on things back home! Miss everyone. Really enjoying our time with mike's dad and Paula!!

We made it!!!

Well, I did it.....I survived the plane ride and we are here in Florida now! Thank God for Xanax!! I was sooooo calm and actually ENJOYED the flight. The kids did great too. Brooke sat next to the window and Loved looking out at the clouds. Chase was in the middle seat and we gripped hands on take off and landing. They got their "wings" from the flight attendants, who, by the way were very nice and talked to the kids a lot. Mike did great too thanks to his Bloody Mary at 8am!! The male flight attendant looked like Hugh Grant, but was pretty fruity if ya know what I mean. We are at Mike's dads house which is beautiful. We just took naps.....gotta love a good nap after a stressful am. Chase gets his own room with a queen sized bed and tv. He is soooooo excited. Well, goodbye for now.

I....HATE....THIS.....COMPUTER!!!!!!!!

So, we install our new printer, and life was good for the evening! The next am we go to log onto our computer and can't, but Chase can get onto his. We have different log ons for parental control. Well, my brother-in -law was great and helped us figure out the problem.....only when we logged back in, it was like we got a brand new computer......EVERYTHING WAS GONE, pictures, music, email...................sigh................sigh again. I have several disks with backup on them, but of course that doesn't happen smoothly. I have been able to recover some things, but very randomly. I have some pics, in all different places, but am missing Christmas and others. Just found my Easter pics somewhere random tonight. Plus the computer has shut off about 9 times in the past 30minutes..............I think I have to go to bed now.
