We are here!!!!

We spent the night at a hotel near the airport. When we got to our room it was a suite. Sweet!! The kids got their own room with a Jacuzzi tub. We got up at 6:00 a.m. this morning to get on our flight. Jag was a little scared on the plane, but all the kids did well. When we got to the car rental place they said they could upgrade us to a minivan for $20 extra. :) One of my customers gave me a bunch of free car rental days so we didn't end up spending much on the rental at all. We got to the Contemporary and our room was ready. We look right out on the Castle. We should have a great view of the fireworks. There is a computer in our room so I can keep up on the blog at least for another day. However I have no way of uploading pictures. We just got back to the room and we are all tired. We had a really good day at the Magic Kingdom. There wasn't hardly any lines. We ate at the Crystal Palace. Winnie just loved the characters.

We didn't plan it this way but we fly out for Walt Disney World on our 20 year anniversary. The kids are excited. We are going to stay the night at a hotel near the airport because our flight leaves early. I am going to try to gain all the weight I lost this summer back in one week of gluttony at WDW. Wish me luck. :) Everyone keeps telling me it's going to be hot down there, well it's been hot up here. We are meeting my parents down there. They took off a few days ago and are driving. It was nice because we sent most of our luggage with them. I'll be sure to post pictures of our trip when I get back.

2006

This year our family was complete with the addition of baby Winnie. We named her Winter Darling Wilson so that she would have the initials that were the same as Walt Disney World. We thought at first we had another sweet, quite, little baby like Lexi but we are starting to think she is going to be our orneriest.

Sammy Retires!!!

My dad finally retired from Anheuser this year. Well he isn't retired because he still works there a few days a week. We went down to Disney to celebrate and my sister and her family surprised him by showing up. We got off the ride It's a Small World and there they were her and her husband and all her kids.

The biggest thing to happen this year was we added an entire 2nd floor to the house. We as in the Amish did it for us. There 3 - 4 guys that came every day during the week. They would arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 am. The moment they got here they started banging and hammering. This year was one of the wettest ever. There was like 80 some days it didn't rain but we got our 2nd story on without any rain at all. The 2nd floor is for the kids it has 3 bedrooms, 1/2 bath and a play area.

Lexi goes to Kindergarten.

It seems like yesterday, that little Lexi got all dressed up in her uniform and got on the bus to go to her first day of school. We followed the bus to make sure she got there alright.
This year when we went to Disney, Chandra's family came along. We rented a 2 bedroom suite that looked right out onto a golf course. We kept a leash on Jag the entire trip. :) He found this Tigger and just loved it. I also became an uncle for the 3rd time. My sister had another little girl. She can hold her own with her brother and sister.

2002

Our sweet little momma's boy was born this year. Lexi was a sweet older sister. She helped out as much as she could. The stuffed horse he is laying on was mine as a kid. I used it as a pillow for many years.

My sister and her husband decided to move out to Indiana, due to his work. We decided to try to sell the barn and buy the house they had just added the addition on for my grandmother. We put the barn on the market and within 1 month we had it sold and was moved out. It was hard to sell the barn because of all the work we had put into it, but the new house was next to my parents and my aunt and uncle's place. It was also off the road more and we didn't have to worry about the kids playing.
