Alex and Me
My dad's cousins daughter I met on facebook.

We got to see Papa's grave site for the first time.

My beautiful cousin paula turned 33!!! It was awesome that we got to celebrate her!

Early spring break = no long lines

We had the greatest time at Disneyland. The kids became roller coaster junkies, and went on the "baby" rides just so Marcie could have some fun too. We purchase $25.00 undies for our 4year old who pees in her pants. Good times! Ate a $48.00 lunch, had TONS left over, carried it around all day and made the kids eat leftovers for dinner.
Got a picture with the KING and QUEEN...

met up with some of our most favorite people...

got a hug from a princess...

and made some really MAGICAL memories!

Three Days without Water

The other night during FHE we were talking about testimonies and really making it a point to help them understand it's what they know to be ture. We gave the kids the oppertunity to share theirs if they wanted to.

Grahams testimony:

I'd like to bear my testimony.

I know the church is true.

I know that if you go three days without water you'll die...

Hey, it's TRUE!!!!

Memories for Me

The greatest Macky and Papa EVER!!!!

You'll shoot Your eye out

Thanks Papa!

I am happy to report no eyes have been shot out, only our neighbors window.

Happy Camper

Tonight as I was putting the kids to bed I had to keep reminding Graham that he needed to brush his teeth. I told him that if he wasn't brushing his chompers by the count of five that he wouldn't be a happy camper. His reply ( very excited):

Wait mom, where are we going camping?

They crack me up!
