So katie and Mom went to see all the Princess, The boys went on all the fun rides and got to see Buzz, a favorite. However, the were probably sad they didn't get to see Ariel, they have had a crush on her since our first trip in 2004!

So, I am not very good at this bloggin stuff, but see the guys on the stillts???If you have ever seen Boyd put up a wedding, you know that he walks around on stills too. So, we decided that if the wedding business ever goes bad, we are going to move to California and get a job with Disney walking on Stilts! What do you think!?!?! Just planning for the future!

Disney etc.

More Disney photos!!

Surprise! We are Going to Disneyland!!!

We woke the kids up at 5:00 am and suprised them that we were one our way! We figured they could sleep in the car right??? NO WAY!!!

We stopped in Salt Lake to eat at Mcdonalds. You'll see how tired they are, heads down on the counter asleep! Then, thanks to Red box movies we had an alright drive down. Katie was the only one who had a hard time.

We arrived in Anneheim at 7:30 pm, just in time to hit the pool! The kids braved the big pool, Kim and Katie stayed in the hot tub for most of the time.

Then next morning we left as early as we could and hit the park. We spent most of the day split riding different rides. But everyone had a great time. We love disneyland!!!

Katie was so cute! Everytime we had to leave Mickey, she would cry!!!! Several times I had to tell her that Mickey had to go us the Potty. That she could understand!

The boys rode and rode and rode! thanks to short lines, we got a lot in in a little time. The weather was beautiful, 80's and 90's everyday. We all tried new rides and played hard everyday.

By the time we left to come home we were all so tired and grouchy. Katie still wanted to stay with Mickey and the boys realized they had missed AR parties but admitted that it was worth it.

We tried out some new hairdos this weekend, let us know what you think!?!?!?!

We had an exciting weekend filled with fun family and food!! We didn't have time to carve our pumpkins until Friday afternoon after school. But it proved to be a fun activity to pass the time until trick or treating! I think we may do it again next year! Don't they all look so cute in their skeleton shirts? The school doesn't let them dress up so this was our small rebellion! It was fun They had several friends who dressed up in the same shirts as well.
How about Katies Hair?!?!? We tried several different hairdo's this weekend, as you will see!
After we were done with the pumpkins we headed over to our friends, The Gordon's, for a dinner of warm soups and rolls then the kids all went trick or treating together. It was a beautiful night that is for sure! We even had our cousins Jessco, Mikki, Taylor, Keaton, Mitchel, Megan, and Brooklyn come with us.
Around 8 pm we headed home with our friends and cousins in tow and had a birthday late night party for Zachary. It was crazy fun! we watched movies, played games, and had a little bit more sugar! We a great day.

In the morning we got up and got ready for the baptism. I can't believe my Zachary is already Eight. He looked so grown up. There was definitely a special glow and spirit about him. It was a neat day. We had ALOT of friends and family that were there to support him. We are so grateful. He was baptized and confirmed by his Dad.

Then we brought everyone home for a yummy dinner. It was great to visit and be there with everyone. Thank you for all you did.

After everyone left we opened some presents and then took most of them back to the store. What can I say, I am not a very good picker i guess! Zachary proclaimed it was the best day ever after he got to pick out his own toys!
Then we went up to Julies for an unforgettable Halloween Party with our family. We had such a good time. Thanks Julie and Mindy! It was such a perfect weekend full of memorable events!

Its been a few weeks so I figured it was time for a new entry.......

This week i kept my kids home for a Mom day (but of course told the school that they were home "sick"). So, according to Murphy's law we all know what should follow, a week full of sick kids! we have each had it and then had it again. We have watched too much tv, played too many video games, and didn't even start on our new chore chart that we put into force on Sunday. But all that said we are just hoping for healthy bodies by Wednesday before we go to Bear Lake! Can you believe it is already time for our annual October trip??? Where did the year go?

Here are our "Off to School" photos for 2008.

Here we go!!!

Well, I think this MIGHT be considered an official START.....

So what could be important enough for my FIRST blog???

I guess I will have to look at what pictures we have......

You know, we had a great summer and we sure have great friends!





I just hope I can learn enough to make my bolg not looks so ordinary!
