MT. HOOD MEADOWS

Cole hit the slopes for the weekend. Perfect weather conditions for shreading on the mountain.

Maddy Turns ELEVEN!!!!!!!!

Mom looks out for all the eleven year olds in the school district with the mini cakes. Teachers love a sugared up kid. Thank goodness it was the last hour of the day.
The sugar intake was wearing off after a few hours so we decided to dig into the main treasure of goodness, a large cake made by mom. Awesome as usual and enough to feed a small village of 40! We were all on a sugar high to take us well into the weee hours of the next morning. Good times as always. The energizer bunny has nothing on a kid with cake in them!

MADDY ROCKS!!

Me and my Hot Honey @ Disneyland!

So Here are a few pictures Of Steven and I! We(mostly me) took so many pictures it's difficult to narrow them down to a few to post! So I probably, no wait I am going to post more after this!

It was just too much fun! I want do overs! I would have to say that it was extremely busy! I guess us and the rest of the world thought it would be a great Christmas gift to go to Disneyland.

The 5 days we were there the parks hit their MAX load of 68,000 people! YIKES! There were times we were stuck in crowds and couldn't move forward or back.. we had to just inch by inch make our way through. It was crazy! If I were rich I'd rent the whole park for a day to have to ourselves and a few of our closest family and friends too of course!

Hope you enjoy our pics!

At the airport waiting for our DELAYED plane!

On the Pirates of the Carribean Cruise!

Happy Birthday Elvis Presley!

He would be 74 today!

1. Watch your favorite Elvis Movie!Turner classic Movies are playing all day!
2. Listen to Elvis songs all day or at least one song!FYI if you have dish network there is an all Elvis radio station on channel 6013 SIRIUS!
3. Eat a crazy fried food concotion.. in his memory! Like fried banana, peanut butter & bacon sandwich. (I might eat a banana)

The Eighth Wonders of the World!

While standing in line for The haunted Mansion, out of the corner of our eyes.. we spotted two, not one but two seven foot tall giants!!! We thought the male was tall, but the famale was even bigger!
Thats the lady standing next to a normal sized person... WOW.

Okay so, we were just stnding in line for the Matterhorn minding our own business and we happened to see the evil witch from Snow White trying to disguise herself as a civilian! She doesn't do a very good job.. even without all the make up we still know its her!

Prancin' PRESLEY hits Disneyland!

Need I say more!! She was bursting with excitement! Sierra taught her a really cool dance and

had her do it in every line we waited in. Prancin' Pres is her dancer name!
Poor girl always got stuck in the back with Dad or Mom on Splash Mtn. she really wanted to ride up front until she saw how wet Syd got then she was fine with the amount of water she got!

Presley is a Ricky Bobby in the making! If you're not first you're last! Such concentration.. she even asked me to not take anymore pictures because it was distracting her! lol

Okay the big Orange in CA adventures that swings you around.. (can't think of the name of it) well Presley loved it.. no one else wanted to go on it with her so I did... and it actually scared me even more than the CA screamin' roller coaster! Presley loved most of the rides... the only one that really scared her was Indiana Jones... we made her ride it 3 times. She only complained once!

Can you tell she is having fun? DUH!!!

Everybody has a laughing place even SYDNEE!

Tips is sweede! Or in translation This is Sydnee!
Here Syd is getting some good advice from the toon town police!

Sydnee and Dad getting ready for their star tour to Mars! She was a bit nervous when our pilot was a little robot!

Sydnee loves to go fast and faster!! There is nothing at Disneyland that she doesn't like!

She really enjoyed telling everyone their seating assignments for each ride too!

Wait I spoke too soon... she didn't like getting soaked on splash mountain! Only because it was evening time when she got wet and it wasn't so warm outside anymore! She didn't mind if someone else got wet.. like for example me... now that's funny!

MADDY'S Happy Place!

Miss Maddy and all of her energy REALLY loved Disneyland and CA Adventures!
Waiting in line for the Indiana Jones ride.. little did we know that this smile would soon be wiped off her face. Maddy failed to secure her backpack in the jeep and it fell out on the first big corner. She panicked because her new i-pod was in it! 30 long painful minutes later they were able to retrieve it for her. We were all relieved. Lesson learned.. Hold on tight to your belongings on all rides!

See this food.... Steven and I got to clean it up off the hotel floor at 3am! Yeah.. it didn't look or smell much better then either!

Our last night in the park we got on the tea cups at exactly midnight and had a blast spinning in circles!

Maddy loved space mountain... rode it at least 6 times!

COLE of the SUN!

Cole has had the nick name "of the sun" since he bleached his hair.. but if he got to be in this sunshine more often that is what color his hair would naturally be! He also wants to live somewhere where the sun shines 365 days of the year! (AZ) This is Cole... incase he or anyone forgot his name we just had to refer to his t-shirt!
Waiting in line for the Indiana Jones ride! This was Presley's first time on this ride! It made for good entertainment when the big boulder came at us! She freaked out!

Cole and Steven with Buzz Lightyear Star Command

The Matterhorn was one of the favorite rides... especially when we timed it just as the 9:30pm fireworks went off! What an awesome view!

Poor kids.. I made them pose for pictures on every ride and everything in between! They did pretty good at humoring me. I'm glad they didn't give me their usual duck and hide! Thanks kids for being such good sports!

SIERRA and her BFF Walt Disney!

Sierra and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command! Sierra can blast the asteroids as good as anyone! Watch out she could take you down!We flew out on Horizon air with a layover in Seattle... we got to board the plane out on the tarmac.. it was very cool!
This is the wildest ride in the wilderness! Sierra could tell you word for word what they say when you get on the ride and off! I should know by now too... she is constantly saying it!

Getting ready to blast off to space... Sierra has a whole choreographed dance to the music on space mountain!

Here is another one of her moves!
