Over the Edge

After dinner on Thanksgiving day, my brother took us rapelling. Yep. We went over the edge of a cliff and then did it again it was so much fun! The kids were naturals! I realize it is much easier for a little person to maneuver their body weight down a rock wall than some us big people. We would all like to do it again and would brave a larger face next time. This excursion was at the Hobbit Caves in Logan Canyon. It's a great way to burn off those extra turkey calories!

Turkey Time!!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at home this year. We had a lovely feast...except that the candied yams caught on fire!!!

We are truly blessed with many things...the best of all are friends and family!

Birthday Babe!

We are just having such a hard time believing that our baby is 7!!! She is zany and fun and beautiful and we are blessed to have her in our lives. We celebrated with gifts in the morning and a family trip to McDonald's for dinner. She got spoiled rotten, but she is worth every ounce of it.

Just a side note: My memory card in my camera had an error as we were finishing up the big day. I was not able to get the pictures onto my computer and was so sad to think I had lost them. I took the card to Inkley's and they were able to recover the images. Hope you never have this happen, but if you do, don't despair, there is hope to save your precious pics!

Halloween Happenings

We had a great Halloween this year. Our highlight was definately the kitty litter cake. Yep, that's it in the pictures. The kids and I made 3 of them this year. We took one to a neighborhood party, and sen the other 2 to work with G and Uncle T. It was a hoot!

The Happiest Place on Earth

Disneyland was amazing. We all loved our first experience there. We rode all the big rides like Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, California Screamer, Soarin' Over California and Splash Mountain. Hannah rode everything the boys wanted to and giggled the entire time. She was afraid of nothing. The highlight for Dax and Graysen was the Jedi training Academy. Dax conquered Darth Vader and his clone troopers and Graysen battled head to head with Darth Mal. It was awesome! Very happy memories.

California Adventure

We finally did it! It took us 2 years to save the money to go and it was everything we dreamed it would be.We spent 10 days in California. It really was a blast. Not one of us had been to Disneyland and we enjoyed every bit of it. We also took 4 days to hang out in San Diego. That was awesome! The kids had also never been to the beach. We got to hang out with our favorite Calif. family, the Mendozas. They joined us at Sea World and had us over for dinner and karaoke one evening.We also went to the Wild Animal Kingdom. We enjoyed the up-close animal encounters. It was really the trip of a lifetime.
