"Look mom, Elle's castle!"

Elle's favorite part of the trip was seeing the castle, which she thought was hers. She loved the princesses, and tinkerbell. But most of all she loved being with her family. We had such a great trip. Thanks mom for getting the hotel and setting it up! We had a blast!





Epcot was so amazing, there were a ton of little countries to visit. We had pastries in France, gelatos in Italy, and sushi in Japan. It was a lot of fun!





we had so much fun at the Animal Kingdom. The safari was so amazing. Who needs to go to Africa now.

We are off!

We are off to Disneyworld tomorrow morning! Look for fun vacation pictures in about a week. Everyone pray for me. 6 hour flight with 2 kids. AAAHHHHH! Lucky Kevin will be on a different flight since he is only going for the weekend. But hopefully it will be worth it.

I hate white walls!

A couple of weeks ago while the girls and I were in Bakersfield visiting Kevin I decided to go by Home Depot and buy a gallon of paint for the dinning room. Much better Venetian Cream. I hate white walls!



I even had my own Cinderella to do the work for me.

poor man's pool

We have had this pool for a couple of months in our living room. we were just using it as a bounce house type of toy. We finally took it outside and filled it. Elle loves it. It is much easier than worrying about her in the big pool. Thanks Costco!

Elle is a swimmer!

Well, not quite. But she is trying. Or being forced. One or the other. Anyway, Holly gave Elle her second swimming lesson. After it was over Holly told me that next time I can't be there since the first 2 times I was a little to quick to rescue my baby. But she did great!

Wicked Weekend!

Kevin and I decided it was time to go away for the weekend, just the two of us. So this last weekend we went to San Francisco. We Stayed at this beautiful hotel called the Fairmont, we went to dinner at the steak house we have been wanting to try that is on the top 5 list of best steaks in the country. And we went to see Wicked. It was so much fun. We walked all over the city and pigged out on Chinese food in China town. I am so glad we still would rather be together than with anyone else. It was a great trip. We even managed to squeeze in time to go house hunting since we will probably be moving to the bay area in the fall or next spring.
