Pumpkinland!

For a fun activity my mom and I decided to take my girls and my nephew, Caleb to Pumpkinland in Orem. McKinley went there on a field trip with her preschool class earlier in the week, and Shaylie went there last year with her kindergarten class. There's a corn maze, play ground, light alley, animals, and of course.......PUMPKINS! The kids had a blast and we had a lot of fun watching them! Here are some pictures!

DiSnEyLaNd!!!!

FINALLY...............I'm actually getting around to posting some of the pics from our vacation. I would love to post all of them for everyone to see, but I was PICTURE TAKING MAD WOMAN and there are WAY toom many. Hope you have as much fun looking at the pics as we were having while they were being taken!












These pics were taken right after we told them where we were ACTUALLY going for our VACATION! (The crazy hair is due to a 10 hour car ride.)


Inside the front gates of Disneyland on our 1st day!











On the Buzz Lightyear ride we got to shoot the bad guys!












Just some cute shots of the girls!




































DAY 2


































DAY 3
On day 3 we took a break from the parks and instead took the girls to the Aquarium of the Pacific, Santa Monica Beach/Pier, and a Dodgers baseball game in the evening!











McKinley is petting a baby sting ray!


















































DAY 4





























We surprised the girls and took them to lunch at Ariel's Grotto where we got to eat with the Princesses! They got to meet and talk to Ariel (of course), Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Wendy (from Peter Pan). They had a blast and loved every minute of it!

Vacation!!!!

I haven't quite gotten to it yet, but we took the girls on a SURPRISE VACATION! We left on September 23 and came back on September 28. Marc and I decided that it was time to take the kids to Disneyland..........WOO HOO! Well, we got everything planned and reservations made and then had to wait for a whole month before telling the girls. Shaylie and McKinley didn't even know we were going on vacation let alone where we were going. They finally figured it out on Saturday evening when I was packing up the clothes bags and getting everything ready to leave the next morning. As soon as I get caught up with work stuff and things around the house I will actually post a blog with pictures of our vacation!
