Diz-nee

The nicest thing about staying at a Diz-nee resort is that they plant bunnies along with the shrubberies. Really, they do. We see a dozen bunnies each trip. It totally rocks.



The actual day at the theme park kind of sucked. As native Floridians, we know better than to visit the Kingdom on Spring Break. Oh, what a painful lesson that is to learn again. Both kids were sick and grouchy. It was hot, then rainy, then cold. Bleh. So the next day we bought the kids lollipops the size of their heads! woohoo! sugar!



We went outside to play and watch for bunnies and eat candy. That made us all happy.



What? This trip cost how much? You must be joking...



But we got to hug Winnie the Pooh!



and Tigger!!!



and visit with our very good friends. it was totally worth it.



Sam and Lela love playing together. They are good friends. Sam can't say the letter L. I loved hearing him say, "wook Wewa, wook at dat!"



Jack has grown into a young man, almost overnight. He is an amazing person and just great with the littler kids.



drive 'em to the house of mouse, and Sam still likes the playground best.



no pictures, but Ethan and I once again stayed late and went on as many roller coasters as we could. THAT was the best part. Him turning out to be a roller coaster person is the most unexpected and fantastic gift.

I Loves My Mama

my mom sent me a birthday card with a bookmark (yay mom) that says:

I want you to know
that in my heart,
you're always with me.
Not a day goes by
when I don't
think about you,
care about you,
and wish
good things for you.

i know i'm a sentimental hallmark sap, but good god, is there anything better than that? i sure do love my mom. i am so very fortunate to have had her all these years. she has been there for me through thick and thin. she taught me how to be a good mother. i am forever grateful.

29 years later ***cough cough cough*** happy birthing day to you, mom. thanks for bringing me into this world, and keeping me alive and well all these ***ahem*** many years.


(i will be 29 for the 8th time tomorrow. my mom rocks.)
