Disneyland!!!!!

Sorry! I know that this is way overdue! Here's all the info on our Disneyland trip.

We spent the week of Valentines day in California with Mickey Mouse! lol. Here's all the pics and videos. Well, some of them. If I put all of them on my computer would probably overload.

Here's Maren after the Indiana Jones ride. She was terrified! My dad actually had to carry her off. It's only funny because 10 minutes later while we were on Pirates of the Carribean, she was begging to go back and now it's one of her favorite rides.
There was a definate dare devil side of her that was brought out on this trip that we've never seen before. She went on and loved Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones (a million times), the Matterhorn (which has always been her favorite), and she was upset that she wasn't tall enough for California Screamin'. She even went on the Tower of Terror, though she hated it. She and Derik were very brave volunteering to go on that with me. My parents were gonna make me go alone. Their not heights people.

Here's me at the end of the first day with all our shopping bags. It was a suprisingly great feeling knowing that I had spent just about all of my savings in one day. Mickey ears are my tradition. I buy a pair every time I go. :)
If you look closely you can see how my jeans fade as they go up my leg. That's because it poured buckets that day, and my pant legs soaked up gallons of water. But it looks cool.

Here's a few of us on the tram on Tuesday.



Here's a couple of Maren and Daddy on Grizzly River Run, that's one of my favorite rides. Here's a few of us in random locations throughout California Adventures. I wish there would have been someone to take the pictures for us so that we could all be in one. Oh, well.


Here's some of us on the Catapillar Ride, with the Catapillar from A Bug's Life.Here's some of Dad and the kids on the Bumper Cars.Here's Samantha on the Spinning Ladybugs, and Dad,Derik, and Maren in a giant Chinese Take-Out box. Doesn't Samantha look cute in her new glasses?Here are some of us at the hotel. Daddy in his Indiana Jones hat, Me with my Build-A-Bear, Emmett, Maren with her Build-A-Bunny, Carrot, and Derik with his Build-A-Dino, Rex. Notice that Emmett, and I have matching glasses?Poor guy, he has to wear girl glasses. I'm so mean.


I don't have any pictures of Samantha and her animal, but she got a pink Build-A-Monkey named, Victoria.

Here's some of my amazing family on Alice's Teacups.

Here's a bunch of us messing around in the hat shop. These are some of my favorites. :)


This is one of my favorites of Derik and Maren on the Storybook ride.
Here are some of my awsome familia on Sleeping Beauty's Carousel.

Here's one of Maren and Mom on Space Mountain. I don't know how well you can see it, 'cause it's picture of a picture. And here's one of Samantha and Derik in Tarzan's Treehouse.Here's proof that I put the ALI in C -ALI-FORNIA!


Here we all are leaving the park on Friday. It was sad because it was our last day, but don't we all look dashing in our rain slickers? I look like a zombie. lol.



And last, but not least, here's one of what might be the best thing I've ever eaten in my life! This is my Mickey Mouse Candy Apple! It was a really, really good green apple, dipped in caramel, then they put on two marshmellows for ears, then they dipped it in chocolate, then the dipped the bottom half in white chocolate, then they rolled the bottom half in red sprinkles, then they put on two yellow jelly beans for buttons. Behold.

A Long Overdue Update

Hey all! WoW! I'm sorry that it's been sooo long since I've posted! There's a lot that's happened in my life lately, and things have gotton a little crazy.

First of all, we got back from Disneyland about a month ago, and we had the best time! I will follow up this post with one that is exclusivley about our vacation. :)

We had a bit of drama that surrounded our trip. We had been told that our tax returns, which was what we were using to pay for the trip, would arrive in our account on Feb. 3, and so we had been planning to leave on the 7th. Well, two days before we were due to leave our returns still hadn't shown up. We did some calling around and were told that there had been a problem and we would not recieve the money until the 10th!! This completly screwed things up as far as my dad's schedualed vacation time, and our hotel resevations. We were devastated and extremely dissapointed that we would no longer be able to make the tripe. I called up my friend Brianna, and she immediatly told me that i should come over and she would help me get my mind off the lost trip. We had a ball hanging out with her family, and her horses. I had THE best ride of my life while I was there and we went out on the trail with two of her horses, Kolby and Jack. We did all kinds of jumps and cantering. So I dedicate this post to Brianna. Thanks for always being there when I need you and give your mom and sibs a big hug for me! You guys are the best!

Here are a bunch of pictures that were taken while I was at their house. (Most of these were taken by Brianna little sister Frankie. She has a real career ahead of her! Theses are some of the best pictures of me in existance!)

This one is of me and Brianna on Friday after our shopping spree at Kohls.





This is one of the two of us waiting for Zack to get us our dinner. (He's their residant cook, and that night we had excellent chicken panin's. lol. just kidding. Zack is Brianna's brother.)



Here's another one of us! I have no idea what I was doing, I think I was playing with Miranda, but I'm not posiitive. I might have been talking to Paxton. :)


This is one on the right of my favorite's we were having soo much fun!










I look serious in this one because, I didn't know Brianna was smiling. I thought we were going for cool, straight faced. But since that's really not me, I look sorta of sick...I wish I'd smiled!




I don't like this one of me. It makes my nose look huge, which it is...but anyway, it's a good one of Brianna!

I LOVE this picture! It's one of my all time favorites! I'm going to frame it and put it on my wall! Brianna have I mentioned that you ROCK, Girlie? 'Cause you do! Not too many people can make me look good in pictures, but you have a lock on it! Luv ya!








This one is probably one of the best pictures of me ever taken. Frankie, you have a major career as a photographer in front of you. Chase it Girlie!

P.S. Did you notice how awsome my hair looks with that shirt? I might cry when it finally fades:(

Thanks you Miss Dana for doing it! You ROCK!

Now here are some pictures and videos took the next day. (I stayed the night.)

Here is one of me and the amazing photographer, Frankie!














These next pics are all ones that Frankie took without me knowing.














Here's one of Miranda. In case you haven't noticed, that girl makes bedhead look GOOD! lol.

Here are a couple more of Frankie. I don't know how she bends herself like that. I think she might have been a pretzel in another life. lol.


















Now here's a a couple that Frankie took of me grooming Jack. :) The Videos star Jack, Mojo, Kolby, Brianna, and me. Frankie is the awsome director who's gonna make me big! lol. One of the videos was taken on Tuesday night, and the other two were on Wednesday morning. :) And one of them is in their living room on Wednesday after our ride. It's got me, Brianna, Paxton, and Miranda eating animal crackers. And I think it's got a bit of Zack makeing lunch...I gave Frankie free rein with my camera, so I don't really know what all is on there. :)


Aliright! I'll talk yo you guys later, and tell you all about Disneyland and California!
