Kids at Heart

Have I mentioned that I am a kid at heart? I know I have before. That is exactly what a couple of my friends and I did the other night for fun. We were kids. HA!

 We love Disney princesses, so we had a little fun and casual princess party.

 Yes, I know. I told you we are kids at heart!

 We had Chinese take-out for dinner. So good!

 Carly and Sarah are the sweetest!

 We watched a couple of classic princess movies, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid. Yes, we sang along with the songs!

Every once in a while, you just gotta have a fun girl's night. That's what we did!

It was also a good reminder that we are God's princesses. I truly believe it!

 

For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them. Matthew 18:20

 

 

 

Tale As Old As Time

Don't you just love Beauty and the Beast? I love most all Disney princesses. I may be a little bit of a Disney fanatic. Amy, Tony, Leighann, Russell and I all went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3-D. Leighann is only about two and a half years old but she loved the movie! Here we are after the flick!

 The music in this movie is awesome. It was so hard for me not to sing along. Ha!

Leighann loves Disney princesses so much! Can't you tell? We had a fun time together. She is a sweet princess herself. :)

On another note, sorry I haven't blogged in a little while. It seems like January is always a laid back month. Probably because it may be "Christmas recovery time." :) I'll hopefully blog more soon!

All glorious is the princess within; her gown is interwoven with gold. Psalm 45:13



Disney World Part 2

I am posting part 2 of Disney World! We loved Disney's Hollywood Studios. See the Hollywood Tower of Terror? We rode that and it was definitely and literally "bottom lifting!" HA! I am sooo serious, it is pretty wild!
But the very first ride we went on was......ROCKIN' ROLLER COASTER!!!!! It was AWESOME! It went from 0-60 miles in 2 seconds! WOWSER!

Later we saw Beauty and the Beast on Stage. It was great and the music was fantastic.

Mama and I went to The American Idol Experience. No, I didn't try out. If I did, it would have taken a lot of time out of my vacation. Mostly, I only wanted to be w/ family more than anything. But we were part of the audience and got to vote on our favorite singer. It really felt like we were in Hollywood!

For dinner, we ate at Sci-Fi Dine In Theater. We got to sit in little "cars" while we ate. It really was neat. And Lauren got to meet up with one of her great friends, Anna Lee! They are like 2 peas in a pod!

Here we are being funny! Lauren and I busted out a duet!

The next morning, we headed to Chef Mickey's for breakfast! Logan and Lauren got to meet a few characters! Here they are with Mickey!!!

And Minnie was too cute!

And I had to get a pic with Minnie Mouse!

and here's Goofy!

We actually went to Animal Kingdom after breakfast. I didn't take too many pics. That afternoon, we headed to Downtown Disney!

We stopped in a neat store there and Lauren got to make her own Mouse Ears Hat!

I had to make one too. I can be a kid at heart lots of times!

Next we went to Logan's heaven...a.k.a. Lego Land! Logan just loved it so much!

Look at the lego people!

And he even became a VIP member! :)

We really had a great time there too! Part 3 is coming soon!

Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers. Proverbs 11:14

A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: Walt Disney World Vacation

I am FINALLY putting these pictures up! I hope ya'll enjoy them. Our plane took off early Saturday morning, March 20th. My Mama, Kathy; sister, Kelly; nephew, Logan; and niece, Lauren and I all went to Disney World together. We had a blast! Just ready---for a major picture overload!

Here are Logan and Kelly on the plane ride! They were very excited.

We arrived at our resort, Port Orleans Riverside, around 2:30 or so. It took us a while to find our room but when we finally found it, we were relieved! :)
A Mickey towel design greeted us on one of our beds! Oh, and can ya'll find any "hidden mickey's" in the picture?

This was Logan and Lauren's 1st trip to Disney World. They are showing off their 1st visit buttons!

We took the bus to Magic Kingdom and guess who we saw!

If it wasn't Chip and Dale right in front of the park! :) They were too sweet and cute!

And we also met Pluto! What a sweet dog! HA! We were having fun already!

So pretty!

Love Cinderella's Castle. I got all excited just like a kid when I saw it, I have to admit!

We headed to Fantasyland and our 1st ride was...

Mad Tea Party! What a classic ride at DW!
We also rode Dumbo, It's a Small World, and others.

Cute picture of Lauren by the wishing well.

Kelly and I ready for Mickey's Philhar Magic to start! And ya'll-it was fantastic! We laughed SO hard!

Cinderella's Golden Carousel

Kelly, me, and Mama having fun
We ate dinner at Tony's Town Square in Magic Kingdom then walked back up Main Street U.S.A. to see:

Electromagic Parade!

There's Mickey Mouse himself!

Cinderella, Prince Charming and a mouse! So neat. We just loved this parade. Lauren and I ate our Mickey ice cream bars while enjoying this parade! :)

The parade ended with Minnie Mouse. Sooo fun!

I have to tell ya'll this story! It is something else! We debated about staying for the fireworks and almost left Magic Kingdom. However we stayed there for the show, "Wishes". I sat down on the curb. I was tuckered out by this point. Then I saw this tall man with glasses. I thought, "He looks like my Uncle Charlie.....hmm. IT IS CHARLIE!" So I said, "CHARLIE SAXON!" I know I sounded like some loony! HA! But he saw me and we couldn't believe he was there!

Here is a picture of Mama with her brother, Charlie. He, Aunt Kim, and my little cousin, Camylle are from D.C. so we don't get to see them very often. We didn't even know they were at Disney World until we saw them! HA! Isn't that something? We were too excited to see them!

The next day we went back to Magic Kingdom! We rode the ride in The Haunted Mansion!

Spooooooky! It was fun though! We also did other things that morning. But it started to rain HARD. We took a break at the resort then headed to dinner at Epcot.

So cool!

We ate at Coral Reef restaurant. It was awesome to sit near the aquarium. We enjoyed it a lot.

And my dessert:

We finished dinner just in time for the fireworks, "Illuminations." I didn't get any pictures of it though. However, we did run into.....

Charlie, Kim and Camylle again! It was their anniversary the week of this vacation so I had to take a picture!

And here we all are again at the end of Day 2! Epcot hosted a flower and garden festival while we were there so we got to see many gorgeous arrangements, topiaries, and more!

Well, I hope ya'll enjoyed Part 1 of our DW vacation! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Your arm is endured with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Psalm 89:13

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes...

What do this:and this remind you of??
Well, The Original Mickey Mouse Club was close but not close enough!


We are going on a vacation to.......

WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

And yes, I am as excited as a little kid!

Mama, Kelly, me, and Logan and Lauren are going together in March!

We can hardly wait! I just had to post and tell you about my excitement!

Yes, Russell and Eric will be working hard in Arkansas while we are gone, but I'll get Goofy's signature for them! HA!

With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord, He is good; his love to Israel endures forever." Ezra 3:11
