California/Disneyland - January 2011

10 plus years ago when we left BYU we moved to Orange County, California. We bought a small (950 sq. ft) house that was only a few miles from the beach. The weather was amazing. There was always something to do. Ahhh...those were good days. Then we had a few kids, moved out of the country, moved back to the US, and have since settled in where we're at. We promised the kids for years that we would take them to California to go to Disneyland. Well we finally did it! We took a week off from school and stayed in a two room suite blocks away from Disneyland. It was so much fun. While we were there I kept thinking..."why did we ever leave this place?" I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I can't wait until we can go again!

HaPpY VaLeNtInE's DaY!

We started our day with heart shaped french toast. That was followed by numerous parties at the school. Andrew's class did such a fun thing. Instead of buying/making valentine's they each wrote something nice about every person in the class. Andrew loved sharing with us what his classmates wrote at FHE.

We had heart-shaped meatloaf and pink mashed potatoes for dinner. Then of course cupid came and ding-dong ditch us tons of treats and gifts. The balloons and candy were a treat from mom and dad. I hope everyone had a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Look what Zach found!

You can't leave anything out with Zach in the house. I'm always going around calling his name only to find him shoving 10 pieces of gum in his mouth, breaking a well designed lego set, or playing the DS that was left on the ground. He knows how to find trouble!
