We went to the Animal Kingdom today for the first part of the day and then we went to the Magic Kingdom for the remainder of the day and the Very Merry Christmas Party till MIDNIGHT! We only stayed till 11 (we got our money's worth). We had a wonderful time.

12.18.07 - MGM

We went to MGM and it was really neat we did the Great Movie Ride and we were selected as the the Great Movie Ride's Star Family and we received some VIP treatment, they took us to the back way to the front of the ride and we we had reserve seating for the parade later that day it was fun! We met the Incredibles, Remi and Emile, Handy Manny, Jojo and Goliath, Mike and Sully.....and many more. We did the Playhouse Disney Show and david and I rode ROCKIN ROLLERCOASTER (again) it Rocks!

12.17.07 - Epcot

Today was Grant's first time to see Epcot. It was amazing as usual and we started the day off with Spaceship Earth (it was closed becuase they were remodeling it, but they were having a sneak peak before the official opening on 12/21). Grant was not real sure about this ride, but it is just a must do! we continued on to Test Track this is one of David and My favorite rides (we got to test it before it officially opened many trips ago) Grant did not like it becuase it tips over a little and he decided that this was not safe. He also complained becuase it gets hot and cold in two of the tests. It was a WONDERFUL DAY!!!

12.16.07 - Our First Official Day in the Park

Today was our first official day and we decided to start out at the Magic Kingdom and we had a blast. We were able to get Grant to do the scary rides once before he knew what to expect. We met many of Grant's favorite Characters, and filled two autograph books during this trip.

12.15.07 - Arriving at Disney World

We made it to town tonight and with a the parks being open till midnight and a ticket for an extra day we decided to make a run for the Magic Kingdom for Grant's first glimpse of the Disney Magic! We saw the Wishes fire works show, the Spectro Magic Parade and the lighting of the Castle; we were also able to ride the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin ride and it is still one of Grant's favorites!!! How can I forget the monorail???? Grant got to ride the monorail for the first time also!

12.14.07 - Drive to Disney World

Well this morning we started our drive to Disney!!! we were so excited but we just spent the entire day in the car. We stopped in Pensacola and went to the beach and wiggled our toes in the sand and picked up seashells. Here is a photo from the most beautiful beach that I have EVER visited (we are already discussing going back when it is warmer).

12.9.07 - Christmas Program at Church

Well today we had our Christmas Program at Church. I had to get up and leave with Grant after the Song that David had several solo's in but it was wonderful and we are done with practice for the year!!!! (sorry I didn't get a photo!

12.8.07 - Kayla's Birthday

Tonight we all went ot dinner to celebrate Kayla's Birthday at Gringo's They made her go into the main dining room to sing to her it was so cute. Then we all went back to our house to open presents and eat cake. Kayla also opened her Hanukkah gift and she got the Tiara for her charm bracelet from James Avery. We had a great evening.

12.8.07 - Gingerbread House Day

Today was the Annual Gingerbread House Day at Church. We had a lovely time building our Gingerbread House and if I do say so myself I think that it turned out pretty nicely.

12.7.07 - Old Town Spring

Today Grant & I drove up to Spring and met the Brown's and went to Old Town Spring for a Shopping Day. We had alot of fun checking out the neat little shops. In one of the shopps they had a beautiful nativity set that Debbie was looking for. Then we went to the Little Dutch Girl and I found my Coffee! Here is a photo of Ben & Grant

12.1.07 - December One

Today we experienced a football marathon. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I have grown to love heading to the local stadium and watching the local high school team win/play football, but there is something about football on tv that rivals the excitement level of golf on tv for me. Danny and Brian, I am terribly sorry because two of the games today were your teams. I was just about to go into football meltdown when I ws finally allowed to change the channel. I would have gladly watched Hannah Montana just to escape football hell. Well it is time to call it a day.

11.26.07 - My Guys are Sick

Well first it was David and then it was Grant. We have pretty much been in isolation this week and it has really been a drag. Stock hint...Buy stock in the corporation that holds Lysol and Oust. I am confident that I have affected their bottom line this last week. (knocking on wood) I am still fine :-)

11.22.07 - Thanksgiving

This year we have many things to be thankful for:

- Dad (Paw Paw) being with us to celebrate.
- Our Friends
- One year in our new house.
- Our Family
- My health (after my surgery in March)
- Our Jobs
- Another memorable year.
- The fact that we understand who we need to be thankful to...

I pray for continued blessings in the upcoming year.

11.21.07 - Family Photos

Yep, it is that time of the year again. We stopped by before Thanksgiving to get the yearly family studio photos...

Again I bought the copyright and I thought that they turned out pretty cute.

11.14.07 - Emergency Surgery

Well tonight after Church we received a call from Nana that they were taking Paw Paw in for Surgery. This was quite a shock! I went up to the hospital and spent the night with mom in the waiting room. Around 3PM I went home to try to get a little sleep. It was a very stressful night. Thankfull we were blessed with a very positive outcome.
