Our trip to California!!!

We finally took the kids to Disneyland. Makayla has been begging for a really long time, she even started saving money to go. She saved $40!!! We left last Sunday and drove to Henderson, NV and stayed the night there and then got up and finished our trip to Anaheim. Before we checked into the hotel we drove to Huntington Beach. It was so much fun to see the kids running in the sand and playing in the ocean!!! They loved it. Tyson was scared of the ocean at first, but in didn't take him long to realize that it was fun.

We are waiting for the hotel shuttle to take us to Disneyland!!! We were SO excited!!! ( we are waiting in front of the hotel)

We made it!!!! Makayla was so excited to see the castle!

Playing in Mickey Mouses house.

Riding the little roller coaster in Toon Town

Granny took Makayla to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. She got to pick out a hairstyle with Fairy Godmother Carolyn, get her nails painted and makeup on. It was fun to watch! Makayla loved it!!! Disneyland really is a magical place and all the workers are the best!

Playing in A Bug's Land

Evan was obsessed with meeting Woody! That's why he wanted to go to Disneyland. We made autograph books and his had Woody on it. He was on cloud nine when he signed his book and gave him high fives!!! He was so happy he was doing cartwheels and break dancing walking down the sidewalk! Seeing him like that totally made the trip worth it!

Karen treated us with breakfast with Minnie and her friends. It was the best! The breakfast was yummy and we all loved seeing the characters! They got them to sign there books, get their picture with them, dance with them, give them high fives and hugs!

Makayla was so excited to see Belle. She is her favorite princess. We lucked out the she was one of the princess there that day! We waited in line for an hour but it was worth it. Makayla was in heaven. Princess Tiana and Ariel were there too. Belle is on Makayla's autograph book!

Tyson loves Mickey Mouse!!!

On our way home we went back to the beach.

We had so much fun. I think my favorite was the shows and parades. Makayla loved the tea cups, Evan loved the big rides and the Toy Story ride and the Monster's Inc ride. Tyson loved any ride he could go on and Ryan just loved being with the family! It was so nice to be away with our family and have such a great time!

On the way home we decided to just drive straight through and not stop in Henderson again. It was going great until we stopped in Mesquite to get jammies on, when we were getting on the freeway Tyson started throwing up! He was sick the rest of the way home. That was hard!!! We made it home at 2:30 Saturday morning.

Rodeo Fun!

Last weekend we went to a rodeo at the Golden Spike Arena with my mom and dad and brother and sisters (Minus Tenille...we missed you!). The kids were so excited to go! Evan and Tyson wore there vests and chaps and Granny made them and their cowboy boots. They were sooo cute!!! Last year at the indoor rodeo Makayla had an allergic reaction, she started to itch all over and her eyes were watering. So I took her to an allergist and found out that she is allergic to horses. So we gave her some benadryl before we went. She was soooo sleepy!!!! She fought to stay awake the entire time and she was still itching on the back of her neck. I felt bad. At the end of the rodeo while we were watching the last of the bull riders, Evan fell asleep sitting in his chair! I guess the rodeo was a little too long for him!:) Tyson loved the whole thing. He loves animals and isn't afraid at all. He wanted to go out and ride the horses. He was really into it!

Tyson is 2 years old

Tyson is 2!!!! Wow! He sure has grown up fast. He is talking in three word sentences and he knows how old he is. He just figured out how to jump with both feet off the ground and he LOVES to dance. At church when he wants to go out he will say that he has to go potty and he is not even potting training yet! He is a smart little stinker! Tyson you are such a joy to have in our home, we love you so much! Happy Birthday Tys!!!

Now we wait!

Well we don't have a for sale sign up in front of our house anymore.... we are taking it off the market and waiting for the house we want to go into foreclosure. The realtor that is selling the house we want has hired a mitigation company that we have to go through in order to make an offer and we have to pay them $1000 now and then the rest which would be a minimum of $2300 when we close on the house. It's so stupid! Our realtor thinks that the company is a scam, because when he called they couldn't answer any of his questions and wouldn't call him back when he left a message with them. He even talked to his broker and he thinks that the company is probably a scam too! So he said the best way to go about it, is to wait for the house to go into foreclosure. So now we wait! I just have to remember to keep having faith, keep having faith!!!!

Selling our house!!???

We have decided to try and sale our house and move to Hooper! The house in Hooper is really small and really old. It was built in 1919. It's on an acre and is right across the street from my mom and dads house. Right were I grew up! The back yard is fields and the Great Salt Lake. We could build onto the house in the future (which would be awesome) but we would have to redo the inside.... paint, carpet, tile, bathroom, kitchen!!! It would be a lot of work!!! The house is also a short sale so it's going to be crazy to see how all of this works out. We will have to have our house under contract and contingent upon us getting the house in Hooper. All I can say is if we are suppose to move out there then it will all work out. All I can do is pray and have faith and know that Heavenly Father knows what is best for our family!

Dancing at Weber State!

Makayla loves to dance in the Jr. drill and Jr cheerleading programs. This ones was at Weber State University. She did it with her cousins Raygan and Adyson. The kids loved Waldo the Wildcat!!!

Sledding!!!!!

I love sledding at my mom and dads!!! Growing up we would go sledding every winter behind the 4-wheeler in the fields next to my mom and dads house. I have so many good memories of going sledding. I love that I get to take my kids sledding there too! This year we bought a saucer sled, that thing can FLY!!! My favorite part is driving the 4-wheeler and whipping whoever is on the saucer off! It's great!!!!!
