Disneyland

This last weekend some of my side of the family decided to hit the road to the Happiest Place on Earth. We had so much fun! HUGE thanks to Amanda(my sister-in-law) planned and executed it all, and I'm sure it was quite the feat! Thanks so much!

All Smiles Before we Left Provo!

We decided to break up the trip and spend one night in Vegas. We stayed at the Stratosphere, and then walked the strip the next morning, catching a Water show at the Belagio, A-MAZING! (This was really my first time to Vegas)

Spencer decided he needed Mariah to hold his hand the whole trip,.. SO cute!!!!

Then we headed off to California. We settled into the hotel when we got there, got an OKAY nights sleep(how well can you sleep the night before Disneyland? It's very comparable to Christmas Eve)

So I won't bore you with the details, but here are our pictures of our fun 2 days at the land of Disney.

Bailey did pretty well. She was VERY Happy when we let her out of her stroller to talk around, and usually that was in the souvenir stores. She very quickly found this Mickey Stuffed Animal, and we waited until the last hour at Disneyland that we would get it for her. She hasn't let it out of her sight since. She LOVES her Mickey. She has never attached herself to anything before and so I think this is a fun thing. We tried talking her into Minnie but she wanted NOTHING to do with her, so Mickey it is. But when usually if she wasn't running free, or on a ride, she was screaming. She didn't want to take any naps, and I don't blame her! How can you sleep at a place like Disneyland!?

We also decided to start a new little tradition. We found a really fun Christmas Ornament at Disneyland and we thought, it would be really fun to start getting a Ornaments everywhere we travel. We don't have TOO much catching up to do, but we will so we have our travel tree! Hopefully someday we will need a REALLY big tree,.. meaning we have traveled a lot!!

Lil Archie!

Tonight Peter and I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Gala Honoring John Walsh from America's Most Wanted

It was hosted by OK which stands for Operation Kids. They benifit kids in many different situations but more so lately with The Department for Missing and Exploited Children. It was TOATLLY awesome! Collin Ray performed,.. if you don't know(which I didn't) he sings songs like "Here in Little Rock" and "One Boy, One Girl, Two hearts beating wildly"

Anyway,.. Peter and I were feeling a need to leave early because Bailey was being watched by Schmally(Melanie,.. thank you, You are a lifesaver!)EVEN though there was to be a guest performer. And Peter's sister needed a ride back to her place,.. so we exited quietly and then we decided to have a little photo shoot in the hallway and then I picked up my things, turned the corner and Peter kept nudging me while I was buckling my dear camera in her home, and I looked up,.. and there he was

And so I went up to this poor akward teenage boy, and asked him if he would kindly pose with a married old mom of 1. After we stood there waiting for him to finish his text, I prep-ed the camera for Peter and,.........He is little,.. hence my weird akward leening,.. and I don't care what ANYONE says,.. Skinny Jeans are so ugly,.. ESPICALLY on guys!! BLEK!!! But Here he is,.. in all his amazing vocal glory! See it and weep. Even if everyone in this picture is akward!


Yes,.. I know,.. We are awesome!

Drunk Pictures are my FAVORITE!

On days like today, when Bailey REFUSES to take a nap until 3:45, I just have to think of the bright side, and I usualy look through my pictures and here are some of my favorite, Funny Baby Pictures. Enjoy them like Peter and I do,.. that means Laughing histarically!

What a Weekend!

WOW! We had a fun filled,.. extended weekend.

Friday: Jim-bo and Julie's amazing wedding. Really,.. Julie was RAVISHING, and Jimmy,.. well he was Jimmy! ;) Thanks to Andy and Emily for babysitting all day, I know Bailey had a blast playing with Evie in the Sandbox.

Wedding Pictures

It was really fun for us to be able to be there for the sealing. It was very reminiscent of our wedding day. Peter's dad performed their sealing, and ours and so the messages were very similar, but this time I was able to pay attention and it was awesome!

CONGRATULATIONS JIMMY & JULIE!!

We are really excited and happy for you! Have babies soon!

Saturday and Sunday are always great when you get to watch Conference in your jammies. Saturday Night is always fun too. All the boys go to the Conference Center and they usually go to dinner after, and the girls always try to think of something to do and start a tradition, but the tradition is, to not really start a tradition, and eat food and just hang out and talk. We even got in a little Wii action! Let me just tell you, I am freakie awesome at MarioKart! Watch Out! (not really but I would like to think I am!)

Sunday I was able to go to the Morning Session of Conference with Schmalgal Rock (Melanie) and be there for Music and the Spoken Word. I love MoTab, it almost makes me want to join the ward choir. We had a fun night playing games and just hanging out. Thanks Jan and Lynn!!

Monday, Bailey and I went and hung out some more with Mel, we just can't get enough of her! And then as soon as Peter came home from work we went to the Pumpkin Patch! We had SOOOOOOOOO much fun and decided to make it a tradition from now on! I can't wait till next year, and we will have somewhere to put carved pumpkins next year(hopefully!) Here are the pictures!

We recommend Hee Haw Farms to anyone with small kids! We had so much fun!

The Wish List

I don't like downer days,.. but today was one of them. I got bored this morning and Bailey and I went and walked around the mall. While we were there, I saw a sweater I wanted and a pair of shoes, and I passed them up cause well,.. No money hunny!

Another thing that has been making me itch my wanting spot is,........ drum roll,...... We have found a house that we REALLY want. We are just waiting on a few things that will lock in our location and I think we will be making an offer!

So of course, wanting these things made me think of all the many things that I want and I decided to make a wish list. So here it is!!!!!!

This is THE house,.. Doesn't look all THAT and a bag of potato chips from the outside,.. especially because of the lack of landscaping but this is what has me sold!

I know,.. it's amazing!! I want it so bad I can barely stand it! So if I have this,.. I need these,....

Bosch Mixer,.. I have wanted one of these since I knew they existed,.. since I knew I existed!

Ahhh,.. Pots and Pans that don't shed Teflon into all of your food would be AWESOME!

All I really care about is having the Water and Ice Dispenser,.. I would be okay with a few other things too

I don't necessarily want THIS bed,.. although I like it,.. but I just want a new one,... a nice big, King size bed, with a mattress that I can't feel the springs when I lay on my side, a memory foam topper on it, with 800 threat count sheets, and an amazing down comforter. If I could have all the bedding in white,.. I would totally but Kids and white don't really mix that well!

You might not be able to see what this is,.. but if I have a new closet,.. I will need new things to fill that closet! So I want a new wardrobe. But I will have to wait until I lose weight. BLEGH! I guess I better call the plastic surgeon cause let's face it,.. I have become pretty comfy in my nicely warn in spot on the couch.

Speaking of couches,.. I could use a new one to break in with many episodes of Oprah, House, Heroes and of course The Hills,.. LOVE IT! (I really do love this couch!)

We will be so excited for Peter to be done with school in December,.. we are pretty sure that we are going to Disneyland in February,.. and I can't wait. I have been once,.. and we went for a half day,.. what can you really fit in, in just half a day at Disneyland,.. not much,.. let me tell you! So Bailey and I can Oooh and Ahhh over the princesses together! Can't wait!

I just know that once my tan is for sure gone, and I look in the mirrior at my deathly pale face with dark hair(I should join the Cullens!) I am going to cry! I know it! So that means we also need a vacation to Hawaii! PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!

I watch too much house. Dr House's attitude is rubbing off on me and is apparent by my attitude today.

I am going to go scratch my wanting spot and drink my sorrows away with a HUGE Dr. Pepper,.. maybe my 3rd one for the day!? So what!? ;)
