Our Disneyland trip

While Jeff and Jens were hunting I took Sidney, Cade & Molly to Disneyland. Julie (mom), Julie (sis), Suzanna and all the kids came too.

I love how cute Disneyland is decorated for Halloween. It is my favorite time to go. Of course I have never seen it during Christmas. I would probably love it too.

Julie (sis) and her kids rode down with me. 6 kids under the age of 8 years old in the car....LONG trip! Actually it wasn't that bad. They were all really pretty good. Julie (mom) and Suzi rode in Julie's car. They followed me there and back. And considering I drove about 90 mph both ways, that wasn't very easy to do. As I wove in and out of the California traffic, I only lost them once. Suzi didn't see me exit, but she was able to eventually catch up!

We always go down over fall break. We go on the Mon. Tues. and Wed. prior to or just after. We actually never go on the Thurs. Fri. and Sat. of fall break. It has always been great. We walk onto every ride. We walk on Splash Mtn. We walk on Grizzly Rapids, we walk on Pirates. But this year, we went on the Thurs, Fri & Sat. It was INSANE!!! 50 to 90 minute waits for those rides. I'll never make that mistake again.

The Haunted Mansion is re-done in the Nigthmare Before Christmas. It is decorated so cute.

We saw a ton of characters. I only took pictures of some of them.

Molly was scared of the Characters.

But Cade sure isnt! He kept teasing them. Frozone and Mr. Incredible both came after him and played with him for a second when he would tease them.

I took all 4 of the kids to Disneyland by myself in April. We flew down so that was a little better. This time I just had the 3 and we drove. I love Disneyland but I'm fine NOT to go back for a while. Too much work!

A Hunting We Will Go...

Jeff drew out on the deer hunt so he and Jens went hunting over fall break. Jens lives everyday to hunt and fish, so to be able to go deer hunting with dad was just AmaZing!

Their camp

They went with a bunch of Jeff's friends that he has had FOREVER and all of his friends boys.
Oh the MIGHTY MEN!!!---Right in the middle of their element!

Jens and his horse Guss

Jeff's brother Scott got a deer after about 10 minutes of hunting. I don't think anyone else was quite as lucky....or at least their wives were not quite as lucky! Venicine anyone???

Tea Time

Suzi took the granddaughters pictures at Great Grandma's house. They turned out really cute. Here are some of my favorites.

A Little Better Weather

Jeff and I took the kids and Jaxon & Averi and went to our house down south. The weather wasn't as warm as usual but it sure beat the snow and rain! Jeff and the boys went to the college football game. Our friend Scott is the offensive coordinator for the team, so he got Jeff sideline passes. They won 16 to 6 so it was a fun day. Don't ask me why I didn't send the camera with him but I didn't. But Scott's wife Jodi and his son Nick came over to our house later, so at least I got a picture of them!

Molly pulled the main bathroom toilet paper all the way down the hall and around the corner into the master bedroom. What a mess.





Cade, Averi & Jaxon in the hot tub.

Jens, Cade & Sidney in the pool.

And Jeff napped by the pool.

The clubhouse sits on this golfcourse and the house is just ext to it.

Sidney and Averi rode their scooters all over,

and Jens and Jaxon played catch in the backyard.

I know that these diseases are very serious....but this sign on the front of the buiding just caught me funny. Just something about seeing it in print!

Cade and his funny way...

Cade can make his eyes go cross eyed so funny! It cracks me up everytime he does it!

Weekend in Las Vegas

Kathy, Lisa & I tagged along with Jeff, Glen & Jesse to Las Vegas this past weekend. The guys had some conference meetings so us girls went to play.

We stayed at the Bellagio hotel. I love how they always change their gardens every few months. Of course being fall, it was themed that this time.

This tree would look around and raise his eyebrow at you. It was kind of neat.

Jeff had a nice win playing in the casino...so since I won't gamble (i'm just toooo tight to even lose a quarter) I figured I may as well enjoy his win. Kathy, Lisa & I went shopping. I figured since Jeff is the one who won it, he deserved something. So I bought him these cuff links to go with 2 different ties he bought last month. Then I headed over to Brighton Collectibles and got myself a cute necklace.

And seeing as how I am a handbag freak, I of course couldn't pass up one of my favorite brands and just had to get this bag. I LOVE the color! And after all my shopping was done, I still had enough leftover to pay the babysitter for the weekend and still brought about $500 home! Thanks Jeff!

We went to see Cirque Du Soleil "O". It was AMaZinG!!! But what Cirque Du Soleil show isn't amazing? I have seen Mystere and Ka and they are both incredible. "O" was amazing because most of it was in water. Amazing diving and acrobats! Here we are after the show with some of our friends Tony and Sarah.

Glen, Kathy & I went to Madame Tussauds. I have been there before but it is always fun to see again. Here Kathy & I are with Jamie Fox

The "Rock"

Glen with Cameron Diaz

Doesn't Jessica Simpson look so real?

So does Princess Diana

Whenever I am in a hotel with a long hall, I always think of that creppy Stephen King movie, The Shining. I had to take a picture to show you. Can't you just see 2 ghostly girls holding hands and saying, "Come play with us Danny. Come play with us!"
