3 years in a row!

We just finished our third year at Disneyland. We had an AMAZING time in California! Austin rode everything he could at Disneyland, his favorites are Buzz, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small world, and Toy Story Mania, and any ride with a steering wheel. He didn't like Matterhorn because of the abominable snowman. He loved putting his arms up on any ride with hills-he's a dare devil!

Parker loved EVERYTHING! He rode Mullholland Madness 6 times in a row, Tower of Terror, Screamin, Indiana Jones, and everything else! I asked him which was his favorite, and he said ALL OF THE RIDES!

Blake loves the fast high-flying rides. His favorites were Tower of Terror, Screamin, Mullholland Madness, Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mtn Railroad. On the last day of Disney Ryan took Parker and Austin back to the hotel and Blake and I went and rode more rides, we stayed almost till midnight! He drug me on Screamin and a lot of the "big kid" rides. We had a fun time running through the parks and hopping on rides!

We also went to Angel Stadium and the beach and walked out on the pier. It was fun watching the surfers and collecting sea shells. Parker and Austin both fell asleep on the flight home. We had a GREAT time and we're sad to have it end!

Sunny Cal!

We just got back from sunny California!! It was a blast-I'm still tired from the trip and had a late flight in-I'll post more pics later! So much fun, wish you all were there!

and.......ACTION!!

The cast taking the first bow. Blake's big Play was last night! It was sooo good, not your ordinary elementary production!! This years was

"My Bed is a Boat!"

Everyone did so good!! Blake was "Bad" a good wolf-hilarious character-he did great with his lines and they did a cool glow in the dark dance-only the paws & claws and feet and select parts glowed, it was awesome! I must say that it was the "Favorite" part of the play!! Here are some pics of part of the cast and Blake after play was over.

They all worked so hard. They performed at the High School Auditorium.
Blake's face paint

We loved having Grandma and Grandpa there. Blake missed Grandpa who is still recovering from his heart surgery, but I report that my Dad is doing much better and we have it on DVD for him! Blake had alot of fun! Parker thought he was special because he got to see it twice :) and it took Austin awhile to see Blake all made up, but I can say that my kids sat very quietly and watched the whole two hour production! :)

(I can't believe how big my kids are :( ! )

G-N-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

GIRLS NIGHT OUT! YAY!!

Lisa had the us come and see her new BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING, TOP o' THE LINE house!! It was GORGEOUS! She even made us dinner, LISA you are one in a million- I LOVE YA! SWAK! Anyway, we made aprons, YEAH, we sewed these cute adorable aprons! They all turned out so cute! Anyway, who out there wants to get together, I'm ready for round two (there is never enough "girl" time!)!!

Fun Family Night OUT!

Tonight we took the kids to the Draper Temple Open House. It was long for little ones, but we are glad we did it. I wanted to get some pictures (outside), but their wasn't a place for a photo opp. Afterwards we took the kiddos to "Goodwood BBQ". The food was good. Parker loves food, so he was crackin' us up. He got ribs. . . .you can judge by his face in the attached photos, he didn't even want to stop eating and smile for a picture! Hilarious, we had a great time!

Needless to say...PARKER LOVED IT! As for my picky eaters, it was so so.

OH YEAH...earlier today, I was folding laundry and Austin was watching Backyardigans. I walked out of the laundry room & this is what I saw, Austin watching it upside down (see his little piggies). I was laughing so hard, I had to take a picture. What can I say..he is one little wiggly monkey!
