Disneyland!!

I'm finally going to blog about my family trip. We had so much fun!!! the first day traveling down to Sunny California was quite an adventure. The freeway got shut down at the Nevada California border for almost 3 hours. Luckily it was by a mall so we went shopping. We got in California to late to try and go to the beach, so we just went to the motel and went out to dinner and found a target so we could get swimming suits to go swimming at the motel. anyway, the next day we wake up early to go into Disneyland, we had the early entrance tickets, and Nicky has a fever and threw up. I felt bad for him. We gave him Tylenol and took him anyway. The first ride we went on broke down so we were caught in the line for about 35 min. while we were there we ran into Shawn's sister, who had been there since Monday. My Mom bought us tiaras that she found at the mall and she made us wear them on the first day there. Ok I was embarrassed, but oh well I will never see these people again, so who cares right? That was the best day there. Not to many people just perfect. We didn't have to wait very long for any ride.
We ate dinner that night at the Blue Bayou. It's the restaurant inside of the pirates ride. It was so awesome!!! I would say that was a highlight of the trip. The food was so good. The dessert was shaped like a pirate ship and it came with a souvenir sail. The fireworks were amazing!! The made it snow after that was so cool! I totally loved the new Buzz Lightyear ride. It was fun shooting the targets. Friday and Sat were pretty much crowded there and cold. Shawn and Scott stayed til midnight one night. They had tons of fun. We came home on Sunday from California all the way to Kaysville. We left at 7 am and got home at 7:30 pm A long ride! We had DVD's to watch, so it wasn't that bad. My Mom and Dad came with us a brought my niece. We really had tons of fun playing and might I add SHOPPING at Disneyland. It is so beautiful there at Christmastime!! Ps My score is zero cause Nicky just handed it to me

Christmas at Disneyland

Well, we are off to Disneyland. We love to go to Disneyland at Christmas and see the beautiful decorations. We went there 4 years ago, so its time to go again. I can't wait to see Nicholas's reaction to all of the rides and characters. Hopefully we will have time to go to the beach and play in the sand. We are driving so we have plenty of movies to watch in the car. Ok I should stop blogging and pack the car up. We are just so excited, our two favorite things together, (MY 2 favorite things) CHRISTMAS & DISNEYLAND!!!!!

Happy Birthday !!

Happy Birthday Donny!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, we are off to go down to St.George for Thanksgiving! yeah. It has been awhile since we went down there. I love going down there to see my family. We always have lots of fun playing games after dinner. This year it is Nicholas' Birthday, so we will have a party after to celebrate it. We always go the craft fair that is going on that weekend. St. George is always crowed and
packed this time of year. trying to go to the after Thanksgiving day sales is a total nightmare. Maybe this year we should just hang out at grandma's house and have fun. We usually have a tradition to cut down a Christmas tree; however, everyone has a fake tree so I doubt we will go this year. I love Thanksgiving time! I have so much to be thankful for. My life has been so blessed. I hope you all have a great THANKSGIVING!!!

Slowly but surely

OK, so it's time to blog again. Nothing really has gone on to blog about. The everyday life of a mom trying to raise a teenager, a tween daughter and a 2 year old, is quite full of drama and surprises, some good and some well, not so good, Especially if you add the naughty little puppy Shawn gave me for my birthday. So you would think I would have tons to blog about. Anyway, It is getting exciting that the addition now has a definite shape to it. The cement guy came and put the forms up to pour the concrete for the addition. I am looking at the size of it all and I am thinking my master bedroom is going to be a small room. Shawn spent hours digging a hole for the pipes to go in for the plumbing. I still think it will take about 2 years until its completely done. I am so glad that Shawn is so handy that he can do a lot of the work himself. I am also glad that he doesn't read my blog! :)

Bored, Nothing to blog.

Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a rut? I am feeling that way now, I have nothing to blog about. No fun events, other than play group, to talk about. Ok, there is the daily events that happen when you have a almost 2 year old a puppy and a cat running around. They love to drive me nuts all day and make so many messes for me to clean up. That is my life right now. I am so looking forward to YW tonight. I get to get out of my house and do something. Tomorrow the cement guy is suppose to come and pour the footings for the addition, we'll see if he actually comes. If he does, yippee I will have something to actually blog about and not go on talking about nonsense! Does anyone ever read my blog anyway? I always wonder if anyone does.
