A Fun Memorial Day Weekend!

As is tradition we went up to Logan for the Memorial Day weekend, and though it was rather wet and cold we managed to have a really fun time anyway!  Friday Tony worked a half day and we went up to Bountiful and were at Eric and Jen's place when they brought baby Daniel home from the hospital, and I got some really good cuddle time in with the cute tiny boy!  Then we dropped Shadow off at my parent's house then we met my parent's up at the Hyrum State Park, dropped the kids off with them, and hit up the stores...the Pepperidge Farm Outlet, Gossners Cheese, and even had time to get to the USU Bookstore, where we got the kids each an Aggie shirt, Tony got a hat and I got a sock monkey!  Saturday we went to the zoo and played at the park and as we were sitting in Chic-fi-le for lunch we saw the downpour hit!  So then we went back to the motorhome and enjoyed it's comforts.  After dinner we went to Aggie Ice Cream and enjoyed the best ice cream on the planet!  Sunday we braved the rain and went to the Smithfield Cemetery to put flowers on my great grandparents' grave.  Then we took a nice drive while the kids took little naps.  The rest of the day we just relaxed.  Monday we went to Angie's for breakfast, then slowly packed up  and headed back to my parent's house where we stayed for dinner then headed home.  It really was a fun weekend!

These videos are of Tony and Elizabeth feeding the ducks...Elizabeth really enjoyed it!

Disneyland Videos

These are just some of the many videos we took in Disneyland...they're the ones I thought we the best.  I do realize there are still a lot, but it was hard narrowing it down and most of them aren't very long.  So here you go.
This first one is of our first day as we were heading towards the castle...I tried to get Elizabeth singing along but as it always seems to go the moment the camera came out she stopped...ah well.

This next video is while we were on It's A Small World, which was one of Elizabeth's favorite rides, and since we probably look at this blog more than anyone else I wanted to put it on here!

Okay! This video is of Elizabeth meeting Snow White for the first time at the princess lunch, and the all important dance!  Elizabeth was in a state of shock if you can't tell!

This one is of Elizabeth and I on the ladybug ride in "A Bug's Land".  She told me her Aunt Ketty would LOVE that ride, cause she loves ladybugs!  Elizabeth sure loved this ride!  We went on it two times in a row!!

This is one of Elizabeth and I on Tuck and Roll's bumper cars...I tried to let Elizabeth drive as much as I could but let's face it...she's a three year old driver so I ended up "helping" quite a bit.  She was excited she could reach the pedal though!

These next two are of Elizabeth's 2nd time on the carousel...she said she wanted the pretty horse and since we were 2nd in line it wasn't hard to get!  The first one is of us before it started going, and the second is of us while we were going around.


This one is of Tony and Elizabeth on the Teacups for the 2nd time...they had a ball!  Elizabeth even got a pink cup!!

This video is of Tony and Elizabeth at the end of the Autopia ride...Elizabeth got to go with me first then with Tony, but he tells me her driving skills didn't improve any the second time around!  She loves telling people about the car ride when daddy said "ow ow ow ow". :)

This last video was taken while at the amazing dinner we had at Thunder Ranch BBQ, as part of the entertainment they let the kids come up on stage and help with the Davey Crockett song...Elizabeth had a lot of fun with it! She is a natural performer, she had no hesitations at all about being up on stage...unlike one of the girls next to her.

Trip to the Zoo

This past Tuesday I decided it would be nice to have a zoo day...and I was so right!  The zoo was all but empty, there was the occasional little school field trip group but that was it...it was really nice!  Elizabeth just can't get enough of watching all the animals!  Devin even got into the fun this time too...Devin actually laughed at one of the monkeys swinging around, this is the first time he's shown so much as recognition of the animals, so I was thrilled at his reaction!  Usually he's throwing a fit, sleeping or hiding under his blanket...so this was a big deal for him!  It was a great trip!!

These couple are from this morning...Devin was just being so cute!
