more details

Owen got sick our 2nd day there(puking) poor dude. because of that we missed our breakfast at chef mickeys which is a character meal. I was very upset by this and tried to reschedule but nothing was available. he was feeling much better around 10ish(we did a lot of praying) and then we went to the majic Kingdom(jason favorite). We were able to ride plenty of rides(11, i think) and everyone had a great time. we walked into the park about the time a parade was going on and I got all misty eyed!! it was awesome! the castle was something else! we had an awesome spot for the fireworks, which were fantastic!
our 3rd day:: Callie was super clingy to jason..figured out she had a fever:: she wouldn't walk or ride in the stroller. We went to hollywood studios. We had fun there but it was super crowded.. more than majic kingdom. We did the toy story mania(waited in line for an hour).. met lightning & mater, buzz & woody! we rode a few big rides. the tower of terror was frightening to me.. the boys loved it! it took you up 13 stories and then dropped you.. OMG!! then brought you back up again to different levels and did the same thing... it also opened up a "window" so you could see across the whole park. i was terrified! when the ride was done carter says that was awesome, let's go again!! we also watched disney playhouse live on stage. callie n carter enjoyed that one.
our last day was spent at animal kingdom.. in the pouring down rain. we rode on the safari.. way cool: owen and i rode a coaster that was a blast.. takes you up then stops.. then you go backwards in the dark... scarey!! then the boys and I rode something called dinosaur. that was cool as well. for dinner we ate at the rainforest cafe.. good food! however I was disappointed that I wasn't told that it wasn't on our dining plan. that was the end of our WDW vacay! We had lots of fun even though it was a lot to take in!

1st leg of our travels to WDW!

Where o where do I begin?! We started our journey to Florida early Monday morning... we stopped about 2 or 3 hrs. so the kids could stretch their legs. We ended up stopping in Jacksonville, Fl. at a Microtel so we could rest and shower before our last 2 hr. stretch. We arrived around noon.. and OH MY! the place is huge! I really didn't understand by looking at on line maps how big Walt Disney World (WDW) was!! It was overwhelming!
Of course our 1st day we were welcomed by rain.. and it rained most of the day. We just chilled in the hotel room for a while. We had our 1st dinner with Mickey, Chip n Dale & Pluto! the food was good and the resturant rotated.. very cool! Callie was so happy to see Mickey mouse that when she hugged him she told him " I wub you Mickey!" so adorable!! We spent our time at Epcot. We thought we did quite a bit but then we looked at a map and realized that there was a whole back section that we didn't do..LOL! WE were gonna stay to watch the fireworks and laser show but the kids were melting down and we just headed back to our room.

more blizzard pictures

** Snow... and lots of it ** Blizzard of twenty ten **

It started snowing yesterday around 5ish... it is still snowing as I type and it's 9:15 a.m! I hear the snowblower working overtime out there with Jason behind it.

So far we have gotten around 14-16" with lots of wind so that gives plenty of snow drifts. Before Jason went out to snowblow, I sent him out with my camera.. Here is what he came back in with..

the carport..

the drifts on the shed

The garage side of the house...

the front of the house

I'll have him take more after he is all done so you can see how deep it was in places

♥ Callie update ♥

I called the Doctors on Thursday.. . the Lyme test came back negative!
He still doesn't know what caused the swelling but the antibiotics seemed to have taken care of whatever it was.
Callie is back to her normal rambunctious self
Thanks for all the prayers that everyone lifted up in her name!
