Disney Part 1

Part 1 of ? Let's face it I have enough pictures for the next 10 years from this trip alone.

We had orginally planned this trip for Thanksgiving 2007. But then God called us to adopt again and we thought maybe we should wait until our new little guy joined the family. Then the next Thanksgiving Ty had just joined the family and we thought maybe this would overwhelm him while he was adjusting. And we didn't want to set the bar high that this is what we do every year for Thanksgiving. Ha! So 2009 is our Disney year
We've had a great time. The kids have walked and walked and walked. No strollers for us. (well for them) Although several times I have wished for a stroller for me.
We all love this Buzz Lightyear ride. We remembered this one from several years ago. I liked it the best until on the second time we rode it. Somewhere in the middle of the ride I dropped my camera on the floor of the car. So I reached down and picked it up and shoved it in my pocket. Then at the end of the ride I tried to turn around and take a picture of Mia and David and my camera wouldn't work. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't come on and then I noticed the battery had fallen out. And the battery was nowhere to be found in my space car. So I guess I'll add camera battery to my Christmas list
Yes, we had matching shirts on the first day. And honestly I wish we would have had them for every day of the trip. It was so easy to locate and keep up with everyone. Next time we're going to have neon green, and sunshine yellow and hunter's orange as well.

Christmas Ideas

Stefanie over @ http://www.nihaoyall.com is hosting a Christmas idea post. I LOVE this idea because I am always looking for great gifts that don't involve plastic toys that last all of 10 minutes.

So, to enter her contest I thought I would give you all a little glimpse of what some little boy in our house is receiving this Christmas. (since he can't read I feel it safe to post this...but please don't tell him)

My friend Emily and I traveled to Canton, TX for the 1st Monday Trade Days, and I found this awesome TeePee.

This is truly an American made product by two really nice people. No mass-production here. And the fact that the Tee-Pee collapses easily and can be stored under a bed makes me happy. Add to this that there are no batteries involved and I'm truly giddy......

They make many different fabrics, including camo and a sweet princess one. We got the denim one trimmed in Red. (We try to be gender neutral as much as possible)

And the cost is very reasonable. Even with shipping. Visit their web-site www.texasteepees.com to see more.

Disclaimer: I do not recieve comission for any teepee sales...ha!

Trick or Treaters

Trent as Rocky Balboa.... He loves this costume. Thanks to the Grey Davis, Trent was able to score a really cool costume. But oh this robe.... Gayla brought the costume over a few weeks ago. Trent couldn't wait to get into it. He LOVED IT!

But his favorite part of the costume is the robe. So for a week, everyday when he got home from school he changed out of his clothes and into his robe. Gayla says it's like his smoking jacket. I was thinking more like Hugh Heffner. Gayla says," not to worry but if he ever comes out of his room with a girl on each arm then you should be concerned. "

Mia had options this year. Which is never good for a 5 year old girl. Our friends, the Harveys gave Mia this Bride's gown a few months back. She loves it.... but then she was also given a sleeping beauty costume. So up until a few moments until Halloween she waivered back and forth on which one to be. But in the end the Bride won!
A friend of mine tried to convince her to trick or treat in one dress then half way through change to the next dress.... Um! NO! That's not going to happen.

PEACE, LOVE and Kaylee

The Gang ready to head out for some candy action.

Ty's new favorite movie is Toy Story. He would watch it every day if I let him. He's so cute he says "Mom I Love You, Beyond Infinity"
