A Much Awaited Reunion

I was excited when Kirsten, my long time friend, and her daughters met up with us for a couple days. We first met at Disneyland - I wanted to go to Fantasmic while it was still showing. Kalli and Hannah got along perfectly. They loved the show. Kalli's favorite part was the big steamboat with all the characters on it at the end .They couldn't take their eyes off the show. It was amazing - I loved it too!

The next day we met up with them at our house then took off to Woods Cove - my favorite Laguna beach. We were there for hours and the kids had way too much fun with each other.

This is the first time Hannah and Olivia have been to the beach ever and I think it was a hit!

For dinner, we met up with Jesse, another friend from high school who lives in LA. I thought Ruby's would be the perfect place for a bunch of sandy girls (and one little boy) in swimsuits to get some food. It was perfect and lots of fun catching up.

On our last day, we met in the middle at the Castle Park in Irvine. I was watching Tanner that day and I was a little worried that he might not want to be with all the girls, but he fit in perfectly!

We had so much fun, I am glad we could spend some time together! Until we meet again, Kirst...Thanksgiving in Utah?

Quick Trip to Disneyland

Hello, from Toon Town

We are so lucky to live close to Disneyland and have annual passes. We love that we can come for only a couple hours and leave with no regrets, because if we really want to, we can come back next week. I love this place!

Back to the Great D-Land

Kalli, Treyvan and I headed to Disneyland after a 2 month hiatus and spent most of our time at Princess land. Kalli and Tess got to listen to Cinderella tell her story then they danced with Belle, Snow White and Jasmine.

Wendy and I got to sit and watch - it was great.

I love this pic!

Disneyland - We're Back!

Finally! Our blackout days are over. We hit up the 'Happiest Place On Earth' and didn't miss a beat.

Yep, we both enjoyed the carousel

the teacups are always a must

Knock, knock, who's there



We went to the Princess show for the first time and Kalli was bedazzled by it. She was so excited to see the princesses and her favorite - Cinderella - come down those stairs and dance with them. We will have to hit this show up more often.


Winnie the Pooh is always a psychedelic treat

Kalli ducked during the Jungle Cruise to avoid some of those 'scary' animals

Thank heavens we made it through alive!

Don't worry Disneyland, we will be back soon!
