Our Disneyland Vacation!!

Well, I finally was able to make it back to "The Happiest Place on Earth." Last time I was there was 1987. So you can do the math, but it was a long time ago. It is amazing how much I thought I remembered, but really didn't. It was great being with my kids and watching all their expressions. We are definitely going to have to go more often. I took a ton of pictures, so I'll just post a few. Enjoy!



This is me, my mom and my sister standing in front of California Adventure.

Ethan thought Peter Pan was really cool and funny. It's crazy how much these characters really look like the cartoons. They do a good job with that.

I think Belle was my favorite princess. We went and ate at Arielle's Grotto, so we got to see all the princesses, and Belle was so cute.

We also ate with Seth's side of the family at Goofy's Kitchen. It was fun.
This is in California Adventure, A Bug's Land. So cute.My mom and her grandbabies in their matching pj's she bought them.Obviously it's Chip n Dale!!Reese loved the princesses. She just kept starring.We were also able to go to Sea World. It was fun, but it rained on us the whole time, and it was cold. So I think we were out of there by 3:00 that afternoon. The kids had a good time though.
All in all we had a great time. I can't wait to do it again. Next time hopefully it won't be in 20 years!!

Another Tag! Bow-chick-a-wow-wow!!

The Hubbie Tag

What is his full name? Seth E. (you all know his last name, and yes, it's just an initial) How long have you been married? It was 7 years on Feb. 16th. How long did you date? Um, lets just say not long! :) We met and were married within 5 months. Yeah, I know. How did you meet? He dated my roomate. Sorry Tanna. Who eats more sweets? I would have to go with Seth on this one. Who said "I love you" first? Him How old is he? 27. Who is taller? He is for sure. 6'2" to my 5'4" Who is smarter? Him. He's like a human caculator. Who does the laundry? I do. Who pays the bills? He does. I probably should get more involved with that, but what are ya gonna do?? Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Him Who mows the lawn? I don't even remember what a lawn looks like. How sad it that!? Who drives? I usually let him, but he scares the crap out of me. He says I'd probably have a heart attack if I went a day with him to work where he does Valet, and ya know what, he's probably right. So, no thanks. Who is more stubborn? Well, I'd say him and he'd say me. So who knows. Who kissed who first? He did. Who has more siblings? Holy cow, one for me!! I do. 6 to 4. Who wears the pants? I like Kendall's answer for this one, which was...I think we both keep each other "in check."

So now I'll tag...Lisa F., Melissa, and Kimmie. Have fun girls!

Nothing Like Best Friends!!

K, so my wonderful friends from Orem came to visit me last weekend, and can I just say I had so much dang fun. I seriously miss you guys so much and can't wait to do it again. Thanks for thinking of me and for the great times! More to come for sure...!
Can you tell it was about 2 or so in the morning when the "giddy" starts to happen and we want to take pictures. Aren't we beautiful??
K girls I wish I looked that HOT in a swimsuit. I think Reese have you both beat though. :)
Especially when she walks like that!Two of my favorite people for sure.
And I must say I LOVE my double chin. Its (i think) one of my best features.

All in all girls I had a great time with you. You are the best and I can't wait to do it again. Til next time.

Holy Cow, I'm actually posting!!

Well, hello my adorable friends and family! I've been getting a lot of trash talk, so I thought I'd throw up a few pictures! :) Sorry it has been so long, I guess I just got really lazy or something. Anyway here are my cute kids at Easter time. My mother-in-law sent then some little matching outfits, so it was fun to get them all dressed up.


Reese had her 1st Birthday April 17. I can't believe that she is already one. Crazy!! It was kind of a low key day. We got her a couple gifts and let her eat away at her cake. It was a fun day.


Now I know there's not a ton to look at now, but it's a start, right? So I will do my best to hop back on the band wagon and post more often. See you real soon!

Thanks Jess! I love ya for this!! :)
