disneyland march 2010



So...I always forget that blogger uploads them this way and that made this trip go backwards but it will still work. Be prepared for picture overload! This was our day at the beach. I have all the other picts on somewhere else so I need to try and find them. This was such a fun day. I wanted pictures from out there so bad. We had a melt down with Mylee about her shirt but it finally worked and she kept it on. This was after the beach! Derek LOVED it! He was such a mess when we left! We stripped them both down and had to go find a target to get them new clothes. Layne had to go get his auhi tuna tacos from this fancy restraunt we found so we had to get them kinda cleaned up. We went there and ate and of course, Derek decided to have a blowout! Oh well. Didn't know a single person there!

This was our last night in Disneyland. sniff sniff...I love this place! It is so much fun and even funner with kids! Me and My watching the fireworks! Loved it!

We LOVED the train this time! Mylee would say "ALL aboard" everytime the train dude would say it. We were cracking up! We loved the train cause we could take out the little chair Derek was hooked in and keep him strapped on the train. He usually would get his little nap in during that time. One night we were so tired we pulled out our loaf of sour dough bread and road it a few times and ate the entire loaf!

Mylee loved the ladybug ride! We would get turning and she would laugh so hard!





Mylee loved the character ones. She didn't like the real people as much. The chipmunks were alittle taken back when she ran full speed to give them a hug! Derek really liked Mickey. We decided to get him a mickey mouse to get attached too.

They loved the ride winney the pooh!




This was our last day to see eyeor and she loved him! Her little eyeor made her get alittle more attention then I think she normally would have gotten. They all called it a very loved eyeor. He was about to go inside and the lady had us wait on the side. He came over and played with her alittle bit longer. She LOVED it! He came and paid alittle attention to Derek too. Derek loved him cause of how soft he was!


Derek was wiped out! He was so worn out. We didn't stop the entire time. He really was such a good little boy this trip. Loved it!


My loved tinkerbell and was kinda scared of her friend!



Dad took grandpa and grandma back to the airport and we decided to go see all the characters and go on small world. Dad doesn't like this ride so we decided to call him and let him listen to the music so he wouldn't feel left out! It was so fun. They were both loving it!


Dad took grandpa and grandma to the airport so they wouldn't have to ride the bus with the chickens and I decided to stay at the park. I couldn't miss out on anything! When we walked back into the park all the characters were there and we didn't have to wait in line too long to see them. It was perfect timing.

Derek really liked woody and mickey. I was pretty suprised that he even noticed but he really liked them.


They LOVED the ladybugs over in bugs life! They were both cracking up so hard. Layne and I were laughing so hard at them! I think everything is funner for us with kids!













So if you notice, Mylee was kinda scared of princess and the frog. Can you tell we are from Utah? So sad! We were cracking up! and alittle embarrased. I waited in line forever to get her to see the princesses. She had fun seeing them! When we came out and got back in the stroller we asked her who her favorite was and she said Princess and the frog! What?!!! Dereks favorite was little mermaid!

Derek and grandma on Dumbo! He seriously loved the rides. He was so entertained this whole trip!

Mylee kept asking us if she could get a giant marshmellow. We could not figure out what she was talking about! Layne finally had her point to what she wanted and it was cotton candy! That is now the official name for it in our house!
Poor kid was so wiped out! This is when we would take a break and ride the train around the park!



This was their first time seeing eyeor! She was SO excited! She kept saying she was going to have big eyeor give her little one a hug. He got the hug! She was on cloud nine after seeing him!
Layne was trying so hard to act mad that he had to go on small world! I didn't really care though! One of my favorites!
Derek crashed in my moms arms on small world!

My parents went on splash mountain and didn't even get wet this time. They had their own log and came out dry! They decided they wanted to go on it one more time, later that night and they came out soaked! I was seriously laughing my head off! Layne was videoing them cause they were drenched! My dads hair was dripping! I wish I would have taken a picture of them cause it was so dang funny!






Us riding pirates! That was our first ride and we scared the heck out of Mylee! She warmed up later though!

This was by far one of my very favorite trips! We were so lucky to have my parents come out for a day with us at disneyland. They flew in Weds. and left Friday. It was a super quick trip for them but so fun! I'm so glad I have the memories with them and watching them with the kids! They really are some of the best parents! They rode the bus into our hotel from the airport and my dad thought he was on his mission again. They were missing the chickens but that was all. We were still driving or we could have picked them up. That night we went and ate at the mexican resturant with them. We walked downtown disney and got excited for the next day! We woke up bright and early and got ready. Mylee had a major melt down and thank goodness grandma was there to get her to wear her shoes! We were ready to pack up and head home! How sad a 3yr old can do that! After the meltdown from her and me and layne, we walked over to Disneyland! We were all so excited! We started at pirates and made our way over to Eyeor! My loved seeing him! Derek was loving Tiger! It was so fun having my parents there cause we got to ride all the rides and switch off with the kids. They are seriously the best. Later that day, my mom and dad kept the kids in Disneyland and Layne and I ran over to ride the rollercoaster and tower of terror! We about crapped our pants on tower of terror! We were laughing so hard! We decided to do that one again! That night after the park closed we loaded in the car and went to bubba gumps! It was so fun having them there. The next day we went in the park again and they went down to the beach and then back to downtown disney. Layne took them to the airport and I kept the kids in Disneyland! It was so fun. Layne came back and we stayed the night until it closed. Friday we woke up and headed to the beach. I had the kids all ready for pictures. Luckily I was able to get a few before My faceplanted into the ocean! Derek LOVED the sand! He crawled around everywhere. He was caked in the sand! We went and bought them some new clothes and headed to Laynes fancy fish taco joint. We were so out of place but who cares! We had to get our yummy food. About half way through our meal, Derek decides to crap up his back! We were laughing so hard cause we already were out of place. We gave all those fancies something to talk about! After that we headed back to Disneyland! I love that place! We stayed there until after the fireworks then headed back to sleep. Saturday we woke up and loaded up and drove back to lake las vegas to our fun hotel there! It had a fun swimming pool so we swam until it was time for dinner. We decided to go eat at Cheesecake factory, one of our many favorites. Across from it was a Claim Jumper and Layne had a brilliant idea to put our 40 on black and if it hit we would go to Claim Jumper instead. Well long story short, it hit red and we ate at a KFC instead! We thought dessert would be yummy so we went back to get cheesecake. Well, tempted again, same story...it hit red and we got us a dollar hot fudge sundae! So funny! It was such a fun little family trip! I loved every bit of it!

Wild animal kingdom 2010 march



We decided to head out of town a day earlier then wait for the next morning. I'm really glad we did. I think with Derek the age he was it would have been a nightmare! They did pretty good. Once Derek new he wasn't getting out of his car seat it was a breeze. They watched movies on the way down and we got into a marriott late Monday night. I think they new we were on vacation. When we got into the room they we both crazy wild! My was jumping on the beds and Derek was crawling around crazy! So excited for the rest of the trip!


We went to the wild animal kingdom the first day. So Tuesday morning we woke up and headed out. We drove straight down to the animal kingdom. The kids had more fun on this merrygoround then seeing the animals. It was pretty fun but next time we will wait until they are a bit older.









We went on the jungle safari ride. It was fun to see all the animals. I thought there would be lots more animals though. Derek was completely wild and didn't want to be held in the cart. He was wanting to go out with the animals. We walked the park and got tons of exercise! It was such a workout with all the hills there. We started at the merrygoround and ended there too. The kids rode it probably 10 times! They loved it! It made us super excited to go to Disneyland! We left there and stopped by a strawberry place that was on the corner a farm. California strawberries are the best that are just fresh picked! After that we drove up to the marriott right across the street from Disneyland! My mom and dad decided to come and fly out for a day at disneyland with us! They rode the city bus to our hotel cause we weren't there yet. I was cracking up cause my dad said it reminded him of his mission but wout the chickens! I'm glad they made it to us safe even though it was only 2.50 for them both to ride. That is why I love them! My next post is going to be on Disneyland! It is super long but so fun!

wrinkly feet





I can't tell you how much I love these 2! They are 2 of my favorite people in the whole wide world! I have been wanting to capture their wrinkly toes in the tub for along time now and finally took the time to do it. I knew that would be one I would regret if I didn't. I can't tell you the pure joy I get from being their mom. They can make me so crazy but I wouldn't trade my life right now for anything! I thank my heavenly father everyday for sending these 2 to me! They make EVERYTHING alittle more interesting and SO much more fun! Layne and I go through so much to try and get our little kids here with us and I wouldn't trade one thing we go through! I love them with every ounce of my soul!

Lots of random picts.


NO, this is not a giant turd. Derek has learned how to open the toilet lid and put things in it. This time he decided to put in matchbox cars in the toilet. He is getting so busy and fun!

I went into check on our chunky boy and this is how I found him. I love sleeping pictures and always forget to take them. I can't believe how big he is getting!


We were so stir crazy so we decided to go feed the ducks and play on the park for a bit. The kids LOVED getting out! It felt so good.


Derek loved the swings! His smile was this big the whole time he was swinging.

I was laughing my head off the first time we went and fed the ducks. My friend told me about popcorn and it's the best thing to feed them. They were running to us! I couldn't stop laughing at the reaction of the kids! Derek didn't know what to think and My got alittle nervous cause they weren't shy at all. I got bit about 4 times too! It was such a nice day to get out and did us all some good.
Derek didn't know what to think. I love his face in this picture. He was so scared of them!


My has been so funny lately. Poor quince! He gets tormented all day by the 2 kids.


This is why quince is so fat! He waits by Derek every meal and stills whatever food he can get. Derek loves to feed him too.

Layne and I were cracking up. My got this balloon from a cousin and was bouncing around on it everywhere.

Mylee playing dressups.
I seriously can't cook anything without my little shadow sliding the chair over to help. I would miss this so much if I didn't have it. I think it is one of my favorite things she does. Today we were making bread sticks to go with our soup for dinner. She had so much fun rolling them out and getting completely messy!


Our boring winter days! She decided to get a bib out and color. It looks like she had alittle taste of the markers too. Love this girl!

Is she really that old? First day of sunbeams! This was when she got home and her hair is so crazy by now! I really don't know where her 3 yrs have gone! I was so dreading this day. She loved it too. Good thing I had a taffy in my bag so that she could get distracted long enough that I could sneak out. She came home singing alot of new songs and had so much fun in her 1st day of sunbeams. I was definitely alittle heartbroken that she is already in primary but I guess I'll just have to get over it.
