A little anxiety plus 5 days of bliss...

Our Disneyland vacation was a SUCCESS!  Not only was the trip amazing, but the suprise to the kids was classic and we had a ton of adventures along the way.

Here are some of my favorite pics from our trip.

As I mention in an earilier post, we didn't tell the kids that we were going to Disneyland, let alone leaving town. B and I picked them up from school on a Thursday afternoon. As they climbed into the car, they looked around and noticed that the car was ready to go somewhere. We promptly told them that we would be going to Las Vegas. THEY SCREAMED in excited! Haha! Little did they know....

  We pulled into St. George just in time to get the phone call from Goofy and Mickey letting them know that they were on their way to Disneyland! This video (although it is partial) shows exactly how our kids feel about the Happiest Place on Earth. OK, so the video won't post, so I'll figure it out later.

OUR LITTLE ANXIETY 30 MINUTE STOP

We then got stuck in an elevator at our hotel in Las Vegas for 30+ minutes. I have NEVER had that happen, and let's just say, I NEVER want it to happen again. They kids were scared to say the least, but we got out and moved onto bigger and better stuff!

Best part of all.... Not a line longer than 10 minutes long AND Halloween decor was up! Elggren bliss!

Hot Lava...

 

Ladies...

See these ladies.....

(sorry about the pic quality)

I LOVE THEM MORE THAN THEY WILL EVER KNOW!

shhhh....

I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!! WE ARE GOING TO DISNEYLAND IN 8 DAYS!!!

(This is from our trip in 2009, notice we are missing Anna.  It will be her first time!)

 But the BEST part about my excitement..... my kids DON'T know!!!!  They think that we are not going back there for at least another year! 

Disneyland.com has a special offer that when you book through their website, you can schedule a phone call from some of your favorite characters and THEY can be the ones to break the news to the kiddos.  So, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy will be calling the kids the night before we leave!

The camera will be ready to get the kids faces when they find out!  Stay tuned AND DON'T SAY A WORD!

The men in my life...

My little man started Kindergarten and LOVES it!  I can't believe how big he is.  I love that he adores school and can't wait to get there to learn.  He came home the other day and told me that he wants to build airplanes when he gets older.  How convenient that Papa Tim does that too.

 My BIG man turned 38!  Hard to believe that when I met him,  he was only 27! 

The kids attacked out of a dead sleep at 6:50AM in the morning with silly string.  Needless to say... B looks tired!  Happy bday B!

Love my men!

$2 Tuesday...

I had a this grand idea to take Will and Anna to Thanksgiving Point last Tuesday, because everything has a $2 entry fee per person!  Well, long story short, EVERYONE else had the same idea as me!  It was PACKED!  But we still had a great time!  Can't believe summer is almost over.... I can't WAIT for fall!

I am a Pin head...

I am COMPLETELY obsessed with pinterest.com!  I stumbled onto it the other day and LOVE it!  BUT, the problem is, I now want to completely redo my house, update my wardrobe, I feel less than creative but completely inspired AND I need a new camera!  That's all!
