Our Disneyland trip

We were very lucky to go to Disneyland with Kevin and his parents for 3 days! We had so much fun and got to ride ALL the rides we wanted and even some of them more than once! The weather was good and the lines were short and the kids were happy which makes me happy as well!!!!!! I have a lot of pictures so be patient........
 I love this picture, really you would think Kevin would have that look on his face since he hadn't been on Space Mountain since he was little and he said he threw up and didn't want to go on it but I told him he should at least try it.  I think Tate just got side tracked waiting for me to take the picture because he was so excited to go on it :)






  It was great that I got to see my cousins since they were there celebrating Amanda's little girl Raeley's birthday!  It had been over a year since we had seen each other.

I

                                                               It's a Small World.......






                                  
I kept trying to get that other kid to get out of the picture but it just didn't happen.



                                 
I think if my life was like something in Disneyland I would have to say it is most like Toon Town!  Sad how well my kids fit in there :)  It was lots of fun!

A favorite was the Autopia!!!!!  Kennedy was so excited to be able to drive it all by herself, and Sadie just kept saying "oh sorry".  She made me laugh the whole time!  And believe it or not Tate is a pretty good driver!!!!!!



 I love seeing Disneyland all decorated for Christmas but seeing the Haunted Mansion decorated as the Nightmare Before Christmas was way cool!!!!!!



                                Oh Sadie just cracks me up :)  She makes a good Mad Hatter!!!!!!
 Since the kids will be with Landon for Christmas we did a little Christmas with them while in Disneyland! I just love these kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what Kevin had been dreaming of Turkey Leg!!!!!!!!!!!
 And of course the only long line we stood in was the Toy Story Mania, but it was well worth it!







We had gone on Splash Mountain the first day and I got so wet (note to self, don't sit in the middle) so when the kids wanted to go on Grizzly River Rapids I wasn't going to go.  So me and Kevin's parents watched and laughed!  The kids loved it and they even went on it twice!!!!!













 We went and ate at the Rainforest Cafe one night and of course my kids had to climb on everything.....
                                                                  Twins???????

It snowed on us in Disneyland after the firework show, Sadie was loving it!!!!  What a cutie :)

                                                     I just love the Castle all lit up at night!


 The girls ran into 2 of their friends from school while we were there, how unlikely is that????!!!!!!!!!

And here is all the Character photos we were able to get while we were there...............................










It was such a fun trip!!!!!  We had so much fun, it was a great Christmas present Thanks Mike and Cecily!

Air Force Airshow 2010

We were able to go to the Airshow at the Base this year and see some cool things! The kids had a great time and it was really fun to see the jets and see the kids all excited :)




 I think our favorite part was watching the Thunderbirds do their Airshow!





It was really fun to be able to go with Josh and Kati and their kids! We were excited to tell them that Kevin and I got engaged the night before and are really excited to start our life together!!!! I am very lucky to have him, he his so wonderful to me and my kids love him too so that really helps! We don't have an exact date set yet but I will be sure to keep you posted on that! We will be getting married in Hawaii and then having an open house in Vegas :)

Pumpkin Carving and School Halloween

The kids were so excited to carve their pumpkins so we finally got it done last night.  I laughed as they were all grossed out by the insides of the pumpkin and they wanted to know if they had to get "all" the seeds and stuff out..........duh of course you do!!!!!










I made all the kids teachers a little goodie from the kids.  I think really I enjoy making it more than anything, it is nice to be able to have time to do these things.



Today the kids got to dress up in their Halloween Costumes and wear them to school.




Kennedy is a 'Punk Rocker' she is showing her attitude in the first picture :)


Sadie is Miss TinkerBell, and a very cute one at that!!!!!  She had every pose down :)





Ok I totally Laughed when I took the pictures of Tate, he is suppose to be a ninja and when I painted his face it looked better than when I took the picture.  I am still laughing at the pictures of him :)



I went in and helped in Tate's Kindergarten class with their Halloween party, first I stopped and got a picture of Sadie with her friend Oakley and of course the 5th graders were all to busy to get a picture of Kennedy.




Then after school we went to see Grandma at work so she could show off her cute monsters, got a picture of them standing in front of the water fountain in front of Tai Pans.

At least we know how long it will take to get ready to go Trick or Treating tomorrow :)
