So far, our Summer Temple Trips have included:
-Mount Timpanogas
-St. George
-Jordan River
Yesterday we took all of the kids to the temple to get another picture! They had a fun time playing on the grass and looking at the beautiful temple. After the pictures, we took them to the splash pad and ate lunch. This is a cool tradition and hopefully we can continue to get a picture of the kids in front of all of the temples in Utah this year!
So I am in a scrapbooking rut lately! I just ordered 550 pictures through Walmart.com (great deal-9 cents per print!) and wanted to paint my scrapbook room/laundrey room to get back in the groove! My sisters came over and helped me paing a crazy color in the room-kind of like an aqua green blue color with orange accents! Pretty crazy for me, but it turned out so cute and I have my scrapbooking groove back now because I have some inspiration!
Since my sister just got engaged, I actally am going to hold off on the 550 pictures I just got in the mail and start on her scrapbook and guest book that I will be making for her! Wish me luck!
I am SO happy to announce that my sister, Ashley, is getting married! She got engaged to Brett Bardsley on the 4th of July in Chicago where he is doing his internship! Our family loves Brett and all of us are so excited for the happy couple! I am SO excited to help plan the wedding-it will definently take my mind off of 87 more days until the baby comes!
I have always wanted to be a wedding coordinator, and I love playing with my quartet in weddings, so this is going to be fun! I am meeting with my mom and Ashley tonight to start getting checklists in order since the wedding will be in 2 months! {The Middle of September}!
Congratulations Ashley and Brett!
We had a fabulous time on our family trip to Disney World! We were gone from a Sunday to a Sunday and celebrated Andrea's 28th Birthday and our 7 year anniversary while on our trip! The 1st day we were in Disney World happened to be my birthday and Regan made a big deal to make sure I had a good birthday. He got me some comfy shoes (airwalks) and then before the gates opened to the park, all of the crowd sang Happy Birthday to me! Then he went to the town hall to have me wear a birthday badge all day! Well, I didn't think much would happen with me wearing that silly badge, but all day long, TONS and TONS of people said happy birthday to me! It was very cooL!
We went to The Magic Kingdom 2 times, Disney Hollywood Adventures 2 times, Blizzard Beach, Epcot Center, and the Animal Kingdom all in 5 days! We were going strong from 7 am until 10-11 at night! We walked SO much in the humid heat, went on Every single ride we could and had the time of our lives! Regan was so on the ball with running from ride to ride to get us fast passes!
The first part of the trip, we stayed in this hotel that was $50 a night (let's just say you got what you paid for) and then the rest of the trip, we were in a Marriot Resort that was so deluxe! It had amazing waterfall swimming pools and the room was great! We felt like going from Paupers to Princes! The last day, Regan was determined to go to a "Gator Farm" so we drove to this place where Riley was able to hold a baby alligator with its mouth taped shut!
Thanks to Regan for making this American Family Insurance Trip! It was awesome to spend some fun quality time with our little family!
Sunny was in heaven when she got to go meet 3 Disney Princesses: Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Cinderella! She went right up to them, gave them hugs and kisses and talked to them about who knows what. They loved Sunny because she looked so cute in her Tinker Bell outfit!
Riley's highlight of our Disneyworld trip was going to Jedi Training and fighting with Darth Vedar! I don't have any pictures of it, just a video, but it was SO cool! I am glad he didn't freak out on stage because Darth Vedar was huge and kind of scary! Afterwards, Riley got to make his own light saber!
Here are also some cute pictures of the kids dressed up as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell with Captain Hook and Smee! They had a blast!
