Hi!! Joining in! I followed you over from my PTR. Your kids are so cute!!!--and your plans look really good!! We will be staying at Pop Century for the 4th time next month...our boys love it!! It really is such a fun resort! Your dining choices look great as well. So many good ones that I'd like to try! We normally do the regular dining plan and find that to be a lot of food. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the DxDP!!

Can't wait for more!

Thanks for joining in!
I have heard good things about POP so we are excited! Alot of our ADRs will be firsts for us....the DP is also a first....the more I read about DxDP...the more I kind of get scared that it will be a TON of food! But DH wanted it!
I need to get an update soon!

Hopping on!

The pics are adorable!

Looks like you have everything planned more or less from sun-up to sun-down. Teach me your planning ways Our plan so far aside from using TGM is waking up and winging it

Thanks for coming over to my PTR! This will be the first trip that will actually have be 'planned' by day...before we have just gone w/the flow! So...we'll see which way we like best! I made my ADRs first then planned by day according to where the ADRs are located. I also checked out the park hours too but in the summer they are open later!

So..these past couple of weeks have been crazy!
My DD had started dance class...then DS started baseball season (well just practice right now)...dance is only 1 night a week, thank goodness...but bball practice has been usally 2 - 3 nights a week...plus DS homework... and then throw in a trip to Mississippi w/DHs family for his Grandma's 83rd Bday....then DHs 30th bday...We had a surprised party for DH! I actually surprised him...he had no clue!!
Here are some pics from the past 2 weekends.....oh...and then our Spring Break is next week (3/15 - 3/19) ..we are going to New Mexico to stay at my Dad's new vacation house! Hoping that they still have snow!! Some REAL snow...us Texans just don't know what REAL snow is like I am afraid!

On to pictures...

Hi Heather!

Those cakes are GREAT! Love the Star Wars cake too - so creative!

Hope you have a fun spring break trip to New Mexico! Did I read that right....you're hoping for SNOW???!!!! Up here in Wisconsin our snow is finally starting to melt! We've had 1 week or so now with temps in the 40s and we can't wait for it all to melt! We're ready for spring! Hope you guys have a great time!

Have fun in DC for Spring Break!

Dance and Baseball--how fun! What type of dance class is your DD taking? DH's cake is great! Love how you were able to surprise him. Have a great spring break in NM!

Love DS birthday treats as well--super cool!

DD is taking ballet/tap/gymnastics @ The Little Gym...she is still very shy (she does not go to school yet and i have been SAHM with her from birth) in the class but usually warms up at the end and participates & loves the gymnastics part of class. All she talks about though is being a ballerina! Who knows!?!

 

[martinolichfamily]

We are back from Spring Break in New Mexico! Now to get everything caught up at home! DH wasn't able to make the trip w/us at last minute due to work. So....work offered him $ towards our summer trip to WDW! That was a plus in a way...it almosts pays for our whole trip! But we missed DH alot over Spring Break!

Here's some pics...

Snow @ the House

White Sands

Alamogordo Zoo

This little guy was too cute...he would 'smile' at us and 'talk' to us...it was funny!

Inn of Mountain Gods Casino @ Ruidoso
Fountain in lobby...very neat!

Driving...Sierra Blanca in the distance...so pretty!

Shopping in Ruidoso..cute strip of shops...didnt spend much time though..next time!

Toy Train Depot in Alamogordo

Space Museum in NM

McGinn Pistachio Tree Ranch ... YUM-O!

Now...to update on our WDW Trip!!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

It looks like you had a great time. Too bad about DH not getting to go but at least his work compensated. Wow, that is great!

We did...we are going to try and go back in August..when the snow is long gone!!
Texans and snow like that for too long just dont go together!! At least for me!

Sorry to hear DH did not make it on the spring break trip. Looks like you had fun despite it.
