I was tagged by Angie, this morning, so here goes.

Rules: Each player answers the question themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know that they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Disney World

Well, finally, here are some pictures from our trip to Disney World. We had so much fun. The girls have said several times that they miss Disney. This was Eric, and Maddie, and Ella's first trip to Disney. It was so funny to see their reactions to everything. Maddie and Ella somehow changed personalities while we were there. Maddie was "chatty Cathy". She couldn't stop smiling or talking. And the amazing thing was that she ran to all the characters and talked to everyone! Ella on the other hand was so in awe that she couldn't say anything to anybody. She walked around with her eyes as big as saucers the whole time. These are just a few of our favorite pictures. Here we are just before we left the house.This was Maddie and Ella's first plane trip. They were sooo excited!

Pop never looks at the camera. :)


watching the Festival of the Lion King...in awe
Princess dinner
Ariel loved that Maddie and Ella had the same color hair as her.



Epcot, or apecot as Maddie first called it

Maddie took this picture. I thought it was too funny not to include!

Maddie and Ella loved the teacups, but I had to include the picture of the 2 big kids!
Fresh off Space Mountain...yes I said Space Mountain. Ella is a thrill seeker, but Maddie surprised me again. She rode lots of rides that I never thought she would get on.



We got to be in the Family Fun Day parade in the Magic Kingdom. Maddie and Ella thought they had won the lottery!Ella's favorite ride. She's a little partial to elephants.I wasn't kidding when I said Ella's eyes were as big as saucers!

Let's Go to the Movies

*update* This is a movie clip below, even though it may not look like it. Just click on the play button.

You may have seen previews for this movie, but in case you haven't, I wanted you to know about it. It is by the same people who did Facing the Giants which is another must see. This one is about marriage. The preview looks really good. You can read more about it at this website.

Pardon me while I get on my soapbox for a moment. Y'all satan is after our marriages. If you are married, I pray that it is a stong, healthy one, but please don't become complacent. If he hasn't yet, satan will attack you. Marriage was God's plan...a perfect plan. The enemy wants no part of that. Mine has been attacked before and will be again. We have to continually work at it. We must guard our hearts and minds in Christ...continually. Plus, if we are going to support any movie, one based on Christian principals is a good one to choose. OK, I'm stepping off my soapbox. Thanks for humoring me. :) Now, go hug your spouse.
