Walt Disney World Photography

Disney is one of the best places to take pictures if you have the time to spend waiting or looking for just the right shot. I am hoping to go back again and spend a whole day taking pictures!

Disney World Trip

I have loved everything Disney since I was little. I had been to Disneyland many times growing up but last March I was lucky enough to get to take a family vacation and go to Disney World for the first time.

All the times growing up going to Disneyland I never got to meet Cinderella, which was sad because she is my favorite princess and my favorite Disney Character! Well in March we did a princess dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot! It was the most amazing thing I had done in my life! What happens is you sit down and through out dinner the princesses come around to the tables and talk to you and take pictures. Then they do a parade with the kids around the restaurant. One day when I have kids I will for sure be going back and taking them to do this. 

Here are a few of the pictures from our Disney Princess Dinner!

A Service Dog For Matteo!

On August 22nd you can text the word 'wish' to 80077 to donate $5 to help Matteo get a service dog!

This amazing little boy is Matteo. He is suffering from severe autism. His family is trying to get him a service dog and need some help. Service dogs are by no means cheap! Matteo has to wear a GPS anklet just incase he runs off. Here is what my friend Kelly has on the donation site, which I will add at he end of this blog post!

Dear Friends and Family,
Our son Matteo Chavez has autism, a disorder involving a spectrum of symptoms causing impaired and delayed learning, and difficulties with impulse control and social skills. We are seeking a service dog for Matteo, The service dog agency, Autism Service Dogs of America is a non profit organization located just outside Portland, Oregon. The donation level required for the dog is $13,500. Our family kindly asks that you help us in raising funds to provide Matteo with an ASDA service dog specifically trained to assist children with autism. An ASDA service dog will assist Matteo by helping us assure Matteo is safe when we leave our home. It is difficult to have Matteo in public, he has no sense of danger and often darts into streets, parking lots and has been known to run away. Having a service dog with Matteo will help keep Matteo safe while we are out in public. Also the dog will serve as an emotional anchor calming Matteo in public. Other families who have received these dogs report an increase in speech because the child talks to the dog as if he were a friend. Families that have received these type of dogs also report their child’s classroom learning and on task behavior improves with the presence of the service dog. While the benefits of service dogs for children with autism vary from child to child, early results indicate that children served by a trained service dog demonstrate marked improvement in mood, socialization, learning and general psychological and sociological development.

Please write Matteo's name in the memo section of your check or money order so your donation will be credited to the account of our son, Matteo. Your donation is greatly appreciated. Please make your check payable to ASDA and mail it to our address or ASDA directly as listed below.
Thank you,
Kelly Barriga Chavez

Songs That Remind Me Of Twilight #1

So I was looking something up on my facebook to figure out a date for a scrapbook page I was making and stumbled across this song. I had not listened to it since March 2011 and was surprised when I found that it sounded like something Jacob would sing to Bella! I just knew that I had to share it with you and see what others think.

I HATE SPIDERS!

What's To Come

In March we went on an amazing Twilight Vacation! I will be adding pictures and talking about all of the wonderful things we did on our trip!

This is just a sample photo of me standing in the ally that Bella goes down trying to get away from the guys following her.

We are leaving for vacation to Oklahoma today so once I get home in 12 days I will get the ball rolling on my Twilight Blog!
