February happenings

February started with our little vacation/early anniversary trip to Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm!!! This trip is what got me through the cold days of January. I LOVE Disneyland and this might be the last time we go for a while (mostly because I don't want to take a baby) and so we made the most of it! Our friends Seth and Cindy met us there and we enjoyed 3 days of Disneyland (minus the boys one day because they did Six Flags) and a day at Knott's Berry Farm.

this was mine and Allan's first flight together. It was fun! :D

Snakes! :) Love the Indiana Jones ride!

Our whole trip was just fantastic and I love that we got to do that together. :) The rest of February was not as exciting, but we still did fun things:

yummy breakfast rolls I made for Valentine's Day.

Lindy FaceTiming with her cousin Abby on her birthday:

Our finished product! with curtain! (remember when I did this shelf project?)

Lindy came to town suddenly at the end of February/beginning of March. We opted to take her at that time instead of in April when we were originally going to her so we did some really fun things!

Here Lindy is coloring a shirt Grandma Koni sent her for her birthday.

Lindy modeling her new shirt. :)

Discovery Museum at Thanksgiving point with cousins!

We might have worn out this cute girl....

We took Lindy, Sammy, and Rusha all to the swimming pool:
 

Rusha wasn't so sure about it....

Sammy was SO excited to have his cousin here!

After swimming we got ice cream. :D

Before we left on our vacation our microwave died. We FINALLY got a new one and then FINALLY put it in, my husband had a weird vision for making this happen:

My bestie Tiff! :D

My friend Tiff asked Allan and I to come down and teach swing dancing at a ward function. So we did! It was a lot of fun. :D

And that was February in a nut shell!!

Disneyland Recap

Allan and I had THE BEST time in Disneyland/California Adventure. Seriously, it was wonderfully whimsical and that makes it happy in my book. :o)

Last time I went to Disneyland (which was also the first time EVER) earlier this year, the group I went with didn't care all too much for stopping and meeting all the many characters. Allan on the other hand, actively LOOKED for opportunities and we found them! We were able to do SO MUCH in 3-days, it was grand. :o)

Here are just a few pics of the fun times we had:

We made those awesome t-shirts!

My very first character meeting EVER!

"Flight Attendant Minnie is hottest." - Allan

"Oh my gosh! It's Tinkerbell!!"

a cute pic in front of the castle. :o)

why yes, i point my toes in my tennis shoes....

Jack Skellington!

MICKEY MOUSE!!! :o)

Needless to say it was a wonderful vacation and I keep wishing that we could just live in Disneyland because that sounds like an AMAZING adventure. :o) Until next time.... ciao!

Disneyland October 2012: the Preview

This is one of those adventures that has happened on a whim. :o)


It all started with me realizing I had a floating holiday that I needed to use before the end of the year. I'm not going to VA for Christmas this year and that's when I usually use my floating holiday. So in talking with my awesome boyfriend he suggested that I take it on a Thursday before one of my normal 3-day weekends. I thought this was a brilliant idea and we took a look at the calendar and decided that taking it next weekend would be perfect. Allan is currently unemployed, so we decided we would go somewhere fun. We talked about a lot of different ideas from going to St. George, to Denver, to Park City. We then turned our minds to go going to Disneyland. Well...we put a post up on a facebook to see if we could fill the car with others and we did! So....now we're going to Disneyland next weekend - during Halloween time! I'm so excited about this! I've heard Disneyland at Halloween time is the best thing ever, so I'm very much looking forward to going out of town with some friends and my awesome boyfriend. :o)

See ya when I get back! :-)
