Jedi Training


Wyatt did the Jedi training and got to fight Darth Mal. It was fun to watch him go through the training. He had a blast!


More Disneyland



Maisey had to get Minnie ears just like her cousin Brynlee. One of the best parts of Disneyland was spending time with family. My kids loved going on rides and spending time with their cousins!. It was so much fun!






The Teacups



One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip! This is what Disneyland is all about. Trey was so happy! You won't catch me on the Teacups, so I was grateful that Jeremy, Shawn, and Taylor took the kiddos. Trey and Maisey had a blast! Ella didn't like how fast they were turning them so cried for most of it. So fun!








Ariel's Grotto



Kevin got Maisey and I tickets to lunch at Ariel's Grotto. Om my goodness Maisey was in absolute heaven! We had some pretty amazing food and Maisey loved wearing her crown and coloring while we ate and waited for them to announce the princesses. They would announce what princess was next and the look on Maisey's face was something I will never forget. She was so excited to see all of them. She wore her princess Aurora dress and thought it was neat that one of the princesses was Princess Aurora herself! It was so much fun to spend a girls lunch with the Princesses!

Trip to California

What a great vacation we had over Thanksgiving. We had so much fun at the beach, Disneyland and spending time with my brother and his family. My niece got baptized while we there and it made the trip extra special. Most of my family was able to go and it was great to see everyone in sunny California. I have to divide up my posts. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the pictures and blogging about the whole trip so I am going to break it up. We left on Friday the 18th as soon as Kevin got off work and stopped to stay in St. George. The next day we traveled to California and of course we always try to stop in Barstow for Mad greek. The kids got a kick out of all the statues and giggled at some of the ones that didn't have clothes on.




We wanted to stop and see the ocean before are Disneyland trip got under way so we headed for Newport Beach. It was about 65 degrees so I thought the kids would just want to put their feet in the water. Well after their pants were all soaked I decided we better get the swimsuits on and let them play. They didn't seem to mind and played in the sand and water for awhile. Maisey didn't remember the ocean and at first it was fun to watch her run away from the tide.











We had a great time and made lots of memories. I absolutely love the ocean and was thrilled that the kids got to have so much fun playing in the sand and water. After everyone was good and cold and wet we headed to our hotel room at The Desert Palms and hung out in the hot tub for awhile and then we got ready for bed and rested before out first day to Disneyland!

Trip to Reno



My friend finally had her sweet precious little girl Ellee. After being six days overdue, the doctor decided it was time to come into this world. My friend Tami is absolutely amazing and I can already tell she is going to be one great momma! I got to hold this precious little one all weekend. It was so nice that Tami's mom (my second mother) was there also. I ate some fabulous food that Eric's mom made for us one night and Tami's mom Tina and Dean made a wonderful dinner the second night. I was spoiled! Good food, friends and a newborn baby to hold. Who could ask for more? It was hard for me to leave but I knew there was a husband and kiddo's that needed me. Tami is doing great and little Ellee is one of the best babies I have ever seen! She never cries and his such a good little baby! I had a rough time leaving and a even worse time coming home. My flight was delayed because of mechanical problems and so I hung out in the airport for six hours! Well I finally made it home and Kevin was waiting at the airport for me with the kiddo's. I sure did miss them a lot!

Lagoon 2011

So after seeing Carly's cute post of Lagoon, I realized that I had forgotten to do a post of when we went to Lagoon in August. We went for Ken Garff day. Two of Kevin's brothers and their families came and my sister Amanda and her family. It was a lot of fun! Maisey and Trey loved Bombora and Maisey wanted to go on it over and over again. I think she went on it about ten times. We had a really good time! My kids absolutely love Lagoon!
