M.I.C - see ya real soon! K.E.Y. - Y? Because we like you

After we said good-bye to Grandma and Grandpa we went to California Adventure Park. It was fun to see the Pixar characters that our kids love.

Havyn helped entertain Jett with "if you're happy and you know it" during the looooong lines.

Clearly one of the highlights of our trip was for Krew to see "Ka Chow and Mater."

We loved every minute of our trip, can't wait to go again......in five or six years. :)

Happy 6th Birthday

When Havyn was 3 we promised her that we would take her to Disneyland when she was 5.

(We kind of hoped she wouldn't remember, but she reminded us from time to time since then.)

We were one day late and technically Jack and I didn't take her to Disneyland, but thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Saunders she was able to celebrate her birthday at Disneyland in style!

The Surprise:

After SeaWorld we drove to Anaheim and when Havyn woke up she

went on a balloon scavenger hunt to find out where

we were going to spend the day.

At the end of the scavenger hunt there was a shirt with Minnie Mouse on it.

(yes, the present was hidden in the oven, no, the oven was not on)

Grandma Margaret gave Havyn a makeover at the Bibbidy Boppity Boo Boutique. She was in Heaven!! Havyn picked out a Sleeping Beauty Dress, got her nails painted, hair and make up, received some bling and topped it off with a Birthday Sash. She was wished Happy Birthday from everyone in the park. See what I mean about celbrating her birthday in style!

We celebrated the rest of the day in regular Disneyland fashion. Rides, dancing, food, fun, tears and lines. We had a great time and Havyn loved being surprised with going to Disney on her birthday. Thanks so much Dave and Margaret! See you real soon!

Asking for Prayers

Please pray for my strength and patience during this time.
because.....

Potty Training is in session!

How do you spend the last day of being five?

With Sharks, Dolphins, Whales and Grandma and Grandpa!

V-DAY

Thank you Pinterest, my new camera, surprise Valentines from friends and more sugar than my kids need to eat in a week. All helped contribute to a very happy and wonderful Valentines Day.

Tis the Season

Tis the Season for walking around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights and not freezing to death.

Tis the season for unwrapping Christmas presents before Christmas.

Tis the season for snow.

Thanks to a surprise present from family in Utah.

Tis the season for childrens bellies to be filled with candy and cookies instead of fruits and vegetables.

Tis the season to remember the Son of God and

be thankful for the many blessing we have been given!

Merry Christmas!!

Excuse my Randomness

As I was looking through my blog I realized how many important, fun and life changing events have occured over the past few months and I have neglected to blog about them. So I am going to try to catch up on everything that has been going on in our lives and post them at random.

Havyn started Kindergarten at Blanding Elementary. It is a little weird to have her going to the same school I went to. Havyn calls the school the "Craynola School." She is standing by the crayons that my dad helped construct when the school was first built. Havyn enjoys school so much, especially recess. (what kid doesn't) She also loves story and art time and making friends.

I thought I better post about Havyn's first day of Kindergarten before next Monday, because it will be her last day at the Craynola School. We will be headed down to Yuma, AZ to soak up the sun and start a new adventure of our lives.
