Disneyland...finally

I won't go into too many details but I have had major problems with my computer and getting my pictures on it. I have lost so many pictures lately and I didn't want to risk loosing my Disneyland pictures so I waited until I got the problem under control.

Our Disneyland trip was AWESOME! The best part had to be when they found out where we were going. They asked where we were going right when they all got in the car from school and we told them it was a surprise. They made a few guesses like..

• redrock
• hiking
• going out to dinner
• camping

Then I put in a movie and didn't hear another word from them until we got to Baker, CA. Kyron recognized where we were and thought that we were going to the beach because this is where we always stop to eat. They were so excited thinking that we were going to the beach (had they NOT realized how cold it was outside..whatever).

Then finally I turned on my video camera and told them we were going to Disneyland! They all screamed and shouted with excitement. We were so happy to see how excited they were. I am so glad I caught that on video. Kenzi said she was most excited about the rides and seeing charaters. Luke and I laughed at her saying charaters. Where did she learn what a character was? The boys were just excited because it was our first time ever.

We went 2 days and it was the perfect time of year to go. We went on every ride at least 10 times and never had to wait. Kenzi became our little dare devil and went on every ride she was tall enough for in both Disneyland and California. Her favorite was Space mountain and Tower of Terror. She is crazy! The boys took off with Luke for awile and did big rides while Kenzi, Kooper and I did rides that both of them could enjoy. But it wasn't long until Kenzi was ready to meet up with the boys to go on "scary" rides. Kason is definatley much braver then Kyron. Kyron will go at least once and then be just as happy watching everyone else from the side. The boys thought it was GREAT that we ran into the Abbotts and that he got to go with Kyle on a few rides. Kason said next time he thinks it would be even funner to take a friend with him so they could go on every ride together:)

Being there just made me realize how much they are growing up and how they are just getting big and independent. Especially Kyron. It was a great trip overall. Kooper was much better than I thought that he would be. He was very happy just riding in his stroller with wide eyes staring at everything around him. I can only imagine how he will be IF we go when he is even a year older. Probably a nightmare.

The boys weren't interested in looking for "characters" or getting their pictures taken. So most of the pictures are of Kenzi. Beware there are lots of them. My favorite part was when Kenzi got to meet the princesses. She was the happiest little thing. The way she looked at the princesses was priceless and so sweet. They truly believe in them and it is so CUTE! Loved that part! It looks like Kenzi went to Disneyland by herself. I didn't get hardly any pictures of the boys (per their request).

Moving

We had a WONDERFUL time in California at Disneyland.
More to come on that when I get my pictures on here.

I will elaborate more when I post.

For now I wanted to share that we will be moving to Flagstaff, Az.

We are extremeley excited about this.

It is happining alot faster than I think I am ready for.

I have mixed emotions right now.

Excited to be in a place that we will eventually call forever home.

We will not move again.

Excited to be closer to family and friends.

Very Very sad to be leaving behind wonderful family and friends.

We have been extremely lucky to have a great ward and school.

My kids have the best friends which is always sad to see them leave.

It is hard for me to start over.

Kyron is alot like me and is very nervous.

I don't like to be the "new" family, but it is okay.

Kason and Kenzi are thrilled.

Kason is sad that he won't be baptized here and to leave his friends.

Kenzi thinks that she is going to get a puppy and a bunny

so she is very excited about going.

This is Luke's dream job and he couldn't be more excited.

He has a start date of March 30th so we will be moving sometime in March!

Just wanted to let everyone know what is going on.

We are excited about this new adventure and excited

for what the future will bring us.

I know it isn't time to say goodbye yet,

but we will miss it here and the friendships that we have made.

Memory card

I STILL haven't gone to get a new memory card.

It is driving me crazy.

When I do have the time to go Kooper seems to be taking a nap,

or I am busy just catching up for the day.

So hopefully tomorrow.

I will just have to make the time to go get it.

I will need it for Disneyland anyway.

So that is why there haven't been any posts lately.

But I did come upon these great pictures that I thought I couldn't pass on.

This is a little Hawaiian dress up from Aunt Amanda and Uncle Kevin.

This is from last summer.

Crazy how she has already changed and gotten bigger.

She doesn't look as "round" anymore:)

There isn't much to this outfit is there?

Let's hope that she doesn't want to dress like this when she gets bigger.

HaHaHa

Countdown to Disneyland

We are leaving for Disneyland

in one week!

I can't wait to see the look on my kids faces.

They have never been and continue to ask us when we get to go.

We are going to pick them up early from school on Monday

and just drive to California.

We aren't going to tell them anything.

I think that I am more excited then anything.

Luke thinks that I am crazy, and hopes that it is worth the $$.

I know that it will be.

Sunday football

I am sure you know that yesterday was a big football day.

The outcome was a great one for Kyron

and a not so great one for Kason and Luke.

The Patriots won and the Packers lost.

After the Packers lost Luke was sulking and

Kason said, "we should be so happy that they at least made it this far."

Only Kason.

We were hoping that the Superbowl would be between the

Patriots and the Packers.

It would have made for an interesting day in our house.

They got home from church

got all dressed

up and put black paint under their eyes.

I thought it made for a cute picture.

Pinewood Derby

This is the one and only picture I got of Kyron at his first Pinewood Derby. My cameras memory card had a blow out after I got my haircut and I haven't got another one yet! So I found my little old camera, ran out the door and the battery only allowed me one shot. At least I got that!

Right after they handed him his kit to build his car he said, "I have to go call Timmy because he is amazing and he will help me build the best car ever!" So during Christmas vacation while in Arizona that is what they did. Poor Timmy spent days helping him. Kason loved it just as much. They would stay up until midnight and get up early to start again. I don't know if they liked building the car or being with Timmy more. They miss him so much and when they see him it is like no one else exists. Thanks Tim for being so wonderful to help him. He didn't win much but he did get the "FASTEST LOOKING CAR" award. Haha! He totally enjoyed it!
