disneyland 2009

no... i have not fallen off the face of the earth. a few weeks ago my computer crashed!! i mean dead as a door nail crash! i wasn't even sure if we could get our past 5 years of pictures off of it. thankfully, the computer people were able to get the pictuers but that was it. so we had to get a new computer and wait to get our pictures back. so...i have a lot of catch-up to do.

i will start with our disneyland trip. we went in the beginning of november with my parents and had so much fun. it was the perfect time of year to go. no long lines and great weather.

i was worried about megan. this is the first time she was really aware of the rides and i wasn't sure if she would freak out or love them. lucky for all of us...she loved them. she was so excited to go on every ride. even the matterhorn. when we got off the first time she said "let's go again!!"

this was a big year for dallin too. he is officially tall enough to ride the big roller coaster at california adventure. he didn't even hesitate going on it! he jumped right on and went a few more times before we left.

no trip is complete without dinner at rainforest cafe!

megan was so sad when she couldn't ride the roller coaster with dallin.

walking with papa to disneyland

the castle at night was so beautiful!

with tinkerbell and terrance

we took one of megan's princess dresses. she loved wearing it!dallin got his face painted megan got her face painted too! megan's favorite ride was dumbo

i love disneyland! you can't help but be happy there. thanks for coming with us grandma & papa! we can't wait to do it again next year!

mirror, mirror on the wall...who is the fairest one of all?

megan loves to get into my make-up so i wasn't too surprised when she came out looking like this. in fact...i thought it was pretty funny so I picked up my camera and started taking pictures. i could tell she was feeling REALLY good about her self because she started posing...

POSE POSE

then i held her up to the mirror. her face went from this to...

this!

to make matters worse this was my lip STAIN! so when i went to wash it off it would not come off. megan kept saying "GET IT OFF OF ME!" i finally tried vasaline. after about 10 applications of smearing it on and then wiping it off we got it to fade a little. it took a few days for it to completly wear off. maybe this will keep her out of my make-up for a few days.

(meggie...i still think you are the fairest one of all! love, mommy xoxoxo)

this weekend we escaped to...

brian head!

we went to the top of brian head peak.


we played at the playground.

we went to the bryce canyon overlook.

we hiked to alpine pond.

some of the pond was frozen over. the kids had a blast throwing sticks and trying to get them to stick in the pond.

our nights were filled with cool temperatures, yummy hot chocolate from the cocomotion, movies and games of LIFE. we had a lot of fun and can't wait to go back for the snow!

tonight we made a countdown chain...

to DISNEYLAND!!

only 24 days left!
