Digital Pages

So this month I started my next class with Digital Scrapbooking. I am loving it!! I learn so much and it seems to easy to have someone walking you through each step. I'm taking it online at Jessicasprague.com, this is the second class of three called
"Now We're Rockin".

Disneyland

Yes, I still honestly beleive that this is the "Happiest Place on Earth." I don't think anyone is ever sad inside here...okay maybe two year olds that want out of the stroller or need a nap. :D
But we sure can have fun and my older kids had great energy that kept going and going
Love our autograph book, they were all so excited to meet the characters
Claire just thought everyone was "so nice".

Claire's dream came true when we were finally able to met --
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty

and Belle
She looked at them and then touched Belle's glove and her neck to see if she was real. It was the cutest thing ever. When we left she asked..."Where was Cinderella, Ariel and Jasmine?" I couldn't beleive she would know who she didn't see...so we had to tell her maybe they were at lunch and we'd find them later.

Disneyland Friends

Daris and Sara They helped us a lot with the kids :)
Mike and Connie Thornock Family
Mj and Susie Jensen Family
Allan and Karalee Newberry Family

Mom, thanks for the wonderful Worldmark!! Super close and wonderful accomadations. We were very comfortable there.





Disneyland

Disneyland was fun with the kids. We enjoyed Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Run away Train, (as we call it) and Toon Town. We hit all the big rides first in hopes that Claire and Sophia would be patient with the rest of us. By night time, we realized that we didn't take Claire to see the Princess's at the Princess Fair, nor did we go into Toon Town until dinner.
The Autotopia was the longest wait in the park, but who can resist driving the car?
Hurray!! Tinker bell and her friends are the newest thing in the park. We were shrunk down to Fairy size and then saw Tinkerbell and one of her friends. Claire thought that was pretty cool
The long awaited "Sleeping Beauty's Castle", Claire asked for days when we would be there.

Disneyland
Gotta Love it!





California Adventure

We spent 2 days at California Adventure. I think I love this park the more I go. It's filled with lots of adventure and high thrills. Grace and Hailey are tall enough to go on about everything and we really enjoyed ourselves. Here is a shot of Jared, Daris, Mike and Ashlyn on the Malliboomer. I was tickled to see Uncle Daris go a few times and Grace begged for more.
The kids bought a autograph book and that encourages them to go and approach the characters and ask for a picture and then sign their book. It was a lot of fun. Claire always walked up and said "hi" to each of them.
I had the younger kids inside Bugs World while Jared was with the girls on Sourin California. Once they joined up with us they all did the rides again.
Oh ya!! We saw Mator and Lightening McQueen, we got to take our pictures with them and then later that evening they were in the Pixar Parade. I loved the joy and excitement I saw on Grants and Claires faces when they finally saw them both. "Cars" has been a favorite thing in our house for the past 2 years.

Gotta have a picture by one of the letters entering the park!
