Kamryn and Brynlee's first airplane ride!

On Friday we went to Disneyland. But first Linda and I took Maudi and Kamryn to Ariel's Grotto to have a princess breakfast. And let me tell you...it is the best thing to do if you have little princesses yourselves. You get to have breakfast with the princesses and each princess comes to your table and greets you and takes a picture with you. The food is great and it was so nice to have all our pictures taken with the princesses done so that we had the rest of the day to ride the rides.

Princess Kamryn and Princess Maudi waiting for their princess breakfast. You will find throughout the rest of these pictures that Kamryn was not in the mood to take pictures. I don't think that I got her to smile in one of the princess pictures. I think she was also a little nervous to see that they were real.

The breakfast consisted of all kinds of fruit, cheese, meat, danishes, bagels, cakes, and much more. The main dish was scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. It was great!

Princess Snow White! Kamryn was a little intimidated by her.

I was a little bummed that she wasn't excited to see Snow White or Belle. She has really liked those two princesses the most lately. But not this time!

She warmed up to Cinderella more than the others, but she still didn't want to smile for the camera. Oh well!

And last, but not least, the Fairy Godmother! She was my favorite. She was so bubbly and cute and she just loved to see all the girls in their princess dresses. We got a picture with Ariel as well but the picture didn't turn out that well.

Jasmine wasn't at the breakfast, but we happened to catch her in the streets. She wasn't very friendly though.

Kamryn and Maudi had so much fun together. And they got along so well!

Brynlee didn't care what we were doing. She was so happy the whole time and she just smiled and smiled. I think she would have had more fun at the princess breakfast than Kamryn did.

Kamryn LOVED the Incredibles. She happened to spot them and she kept saying "Credibles, mommy". So we walked by them so she could see them and she wouldn't take her eyes off of them. She was way more interested in them than the princesses.

Kamryn's favorite ride was the Teacups. She cried and cried when we left.

And finally we get a SMILE!

Brynlee liked the Teacups too!

She liked It's a Small World, but she didn't like the noise. In fact she did this on all the rides that made alot of noise. She did this more than she smiled.

Disneyland was decorated in Halloween decorations and it was so cute. I love, love, love the fall and I especially love Halloween. So having it decorated in Halloween stuff made it so much fun for me.

Left: Lindsey, Me, Taylor, Boma Michelle, Kamryn and Bompa North!Taylor and I taking a rest for a minute. We were so tired by the end of the day.

This is Taylor's sister Lindsey who is going on a mission. She is the reason we went on this trip. Thanks Lou, we are gonna miss you and we love you!

Riding Pirates of the Carribean with Boma Michelle.

Pirates of the Carribean is not a good ride to take little kids on. She was a little scared!

They had a little farm at Disneyland for Halloween and Kamryn loved the little goats. They were just her size so she didn't feel intimidated by them.

Once again...we had to go on the Teacups for Kamryn. Brynlee liked it alot. She was so happy and her little legs were kicking so fast.

Bompa North and Uncle Matt spinning themselves until they were sick.

Left: Marlee, Lindsey, Taylor, and Ashley!

Kamryn wanted to ride Alice in Wonderland, and all the adults were good sports with hanging out on the kid rides. Thanks guys! I know that I flooded you with pictures but we had so much fun and we wanted to share it with you.

Newport Harbor!

On the last day we went to Newport Harbor! It was beautiful, but the weather was too cold to get in the water. So we walked along the boardwalk and watched people fish. And I have to say that it is disgusting to watch them fish. As soon as they get a fish they gut it right there on the boardwalk for everyone to see and after they are finished they feed it to the seal's. As you walk along the boardwalk you can see fish tails, blood and fish guts. Uuuhh....it was so gross!!!! And it stunk so stinkin' bad. But the most rewarding part of the whole boardwalk trip was that we got to see the seal's. I had never seen one before (other than pictures and on t.v.). They are so cute!

Now can you see why I didn't like walking on the boardwalk? I happened to walk right passed a man who had just caught a fish and..... of course he chopped off the head right as I was looking over to see the fish. It was pretty sick! I know that all of you fishers out there probably think that I am a wimp, but I had never seen anything like that and I hope that I don't ever see it again. It makes me not want to eat fish again. YUCK!

These next few pictures are of the seal's that we got to see! They swam all around us waiting for someone to drop off some fish guts.

As you can tell, Kamryn wasn't too fond of the fish guts either!

DANCE!

Kamryn started dance class on Wednesday and she was so cute in her little dance outfit. I pulled it out to show her what it looked like, and the first thing she grabbed was the too too and she said "Oh cute mommy"! And I think it is even cuter on her.

Our little Ballerina!

Rock out Kamryn!

She was so excited to go to dance class, she couldn't even wait for me to put her shoes on. She was out of there.

This is her dance class. I know you can't see their faces but I figured that it was gonna be to hard to get all the girls to look at the camera at the same time. Sorry!

She jumped way more than she danced. She was so full of energy and she didn't want to sit still. My friend Mauressa is a dance teacher and she decided that she was gonna teach dance in her basement. It works out just great. Now we just need to work on Kamryn's listening skills. She didn't want to sit down and stretch or learn how to do some tumbling tricks, she just wanted to shake her booty.

Kamryn and Teagan! Best friends forever!

Flag Football!

Flag Football has officially started for the boys. They are having a blast and so are the wives. Their team name is the Elders and Heathens. The team consists entirely of Gonzaga Law Students. It is so much fun to watch them and to cheer for them. They are such a good team, and they haven't lost a game yet.

Huddle boys, huddle!

Kamryn had so much fun cheering for her daddy. She kept saying "yay, daddy". But she really was way more interested in the football. She's our little tom boy.

NICE BUTT, Taylor!

It was a little chilly so we had to bundle up really tight. Poor Brynlee was so cold.

These are Kamryn's friends who come to the game to play. All their dad's play football too.

Left: Kamryn, Abby, Teagan, and Kamay!

Yummy.....Licorice!

Kamryn wanted to play with her dad so bad! She ran out in the field a few times to get him to play with her, but I always managed to get her before she got to him. Mom always ruins all the fun. But when dad was sitting out on the sidelines she immediately ran to him to play.

Kamryn and Teagan decided to start their own football team. They were tackling each other and playing so cute together. It was pretty funny!

Brynlee and Pierson had their own football team as well. Pierson loves to tackle Brynlee down all the time, even when we aren't on the field. Pierson is Teagan's little brother. His mom and dad are Beau and Mauressa (our really good friends, and they are the ones that we are moving next to at the beginning of December).

I am so proud of you babe and you do so well! I love coming to your games and watching you kick butt.

Here we are again at the second football game. It was even colder than the last game. But Kamryn and Teagan didn't seem to mind. They both had a blast being the football teams cheerleaders. "Go Elders and Heathens"!
