YAY!! :) I've had sooo many people calling, emailing, texting me and asking me whats the easiest way to save money on a trip to Disneyland.... Well i'm NOOOO expert! In fact, i've never even paid for a hotel or tickets to Disneyland, BUT, i do know some fun, easy ways to save. These are also great tips for the fair, carnivals, parades, and other theme-parks.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">TIP #1 : Make your own Autograph Books!</span></strong><br /><br /><p>It's been a long time since i've bought an autograph book at disney but if i remember right, they are around $12-$16 EACH! (OUCH!) I went to the craft warehouse and found small blank spiral notebooks on sale for $1 each. I got some of my scrapbook stickers out and voila! Cute custom autograph books! And there are plenty of pages to be able to use them for a couple trips to Disney, the fair, or anywhere else with characters!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8H14yyX3WZh5-Xd_PKVrHClT1jFUPk-deOyDi_8dsz9xYt8F2gFq6xJF49qZ4Ov7tatG_mRCoBRnz-QhUuK9dDMUsJg-0gKsUolGSELmh4ebTiS9vm2G4WsBzHFONJZo99tIFG5BqHX8/s1600/020711+002.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578826754030625026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8H14yyX3WZh5-Xd_PKVrHClT1jFUPk-deOyDi_8dsz9xYt8F2gFq6xJF49qZ4Ov7tatG_mRCoBRnz-QhUuK9dDMUsJg-0gKsUolGSELmh4ebTiS9vm2G4WsBzHFONJZo99tIFG5BqHX8/s200/020711+002.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySleMEGmvs6vDP4VVi4JgQFmZdk3zENt6xIuEZdOrQJVI6jHESxjrbQy2Umr4EfTNBnwpliW3TLQ5xqFKTvxFGtG8LaTHfbkUKoJqoxdxJZT2gAlB0l-PxMhhseNfZqeUK1wcVt6ElfI/s1600/020711+004.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578826756816743202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySleMEGmvs6vDP4VVi4JgQFmZdk3zENt6xIuEZdOrQJVI6jHESxjrbQy2Umr4EfTNBnwpliW3TLQ5xqFKTvxFGtG8LaTHfbkUKoJqoxdxJZT2gAlB0l-PxMhhseNfZqeUK1wcVt6ElfI/s200/020711+004.jpg" /></a><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtYDeFE0vQIHX9z88fvRyYFMmnaWru4zQzN8S1MMeCSbEOPm6DWW2frOeu2eCg6Sdp_PHhxDOTeNp_QOAunIqF1et8RwNyakrMxefNAiu4VeKnN1cueZL_TS5U9bHmilXHtzeXGJMvXI/s1600/020711+005.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578826762361833586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAtYDeFE0vQIHX9z88fvRyYFMmnaWru4zQzN8S1MMeCSbEOPm6DWW2frOeu2eCg6Sdp_PHhxDOTeNp_QOAunIqF1et8RwNyakrMxefNAiu4VeKnN1cueZL_TS5U9bHmilXHtzeXGJMvXI/s200/020711+005.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghD9pu6yUwGuaJR7dr0uHHJD3AlZaKxF7z6suMBxYtQzTzMcEPWtGrWbwWLBvekJk-OmwPr-L7B3iaqqzNbafOsRXL2ZULyhKQ0Nh6JAPUxfQl0bXk9Y_XG59fdy-yeVbnxKqvBUIoAEo/s1600/020711+007.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578826766227826658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghD9pu6yUwGuaJR7dr0uHHJD3AlZaKxF7z6suMBxYtQzTzMcEPWtGrWbwWLBvekJk-OmwPr-L7B3iaqqzNbafOsRXL2ZULyhKQ0Nh6JAPUxfQl0bXk9Y_XG59fdy-yeVbnxKqvBUIoAEo/s200/020711+007.jpg" /></a></p><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">TIP #2: DOLLAR STORE= YOUR BFF!!!</span></strong><br /><br /><p>This is probably my favorite tip; Souveniers and lights are E.X.P.E.N.S.I.V.E in Disneyland, as with any theme-park! A simple little keychain character will cost around $10 (again, OUCH!) The easiest way to save money on this is by going to the Dollar store BEFORE you leave! It may sound silly, but the Dollar store has A TON of Disney character items, and each is only $1!! I was able to get the kids several items each and i will pack them with us and give one toy to each kid each day we are there. And i only spent about $12 for everything! (that's 6 toys each!!!!) </p>If you are at Disney when it gets dark you will notice carts and carts that walk around selling everything imaginable that lights up! Glow sticks, necklaces, glasses, etc. A simple necklace will cost you about $6!!! BUT, the dollar store carries a pretty good variety of glow stuff! They even had light up swords and wands! The necklaces and bracelets all came in a pack of 4-6, so for $5 the kids can be a GLOWING SENSATION at Disney! Walmart is also a cheap place to look for Disney items before going.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqx2c5FFYy8NCf_KgMSVlRtoMup54MG5SBdLe8njf_Ch8k8-cngegqN12vgyPqMpbieRFN0b8zICv-ot7ppwBil4Dc1ZjE0-k4N_jBKyg-6FxPGX97C90F0LcX4HxNRM1wcUs8O7lb-pw/s1600/020711+010.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578827539106798850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqx2c5FFYy8NCf_KgMSVlRtoMup54MG5SBdLe8njf_Ch8k8-cngegqN12vgyPqMpbieRFN0b8zICv-ot7ppwBil4Dc1ZjE0-k4N_jBKyg-6FxPGX97C90F0LcX4HxNRM1wcUs8O7lb-pw/s200/020711+010.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWYSF8Zn7CKcAGzNfVYBwzVL6AVtAUwPZQR6RzYz8Z_RmshC-uXnPBk2dxhJK7kBLKA0h9PwfH6HM9AfcqsEcN_s7UmLnWSazxcl17apVL907bxtP0i2RBjir1LbQDfLQbiKG_VhEONuk/s1600/020711+017.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578828065622928370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWYSF8Zn7CKcAGzNfVYBwzVL6AVtAUwPZQR6RzYz8Z_RmshC-uXnPBk2dxhJK7kBLKA0h9PwfH6HM9AfcqsEcN_s7UmLnWSazxcl17apVL907bxtP0i2RBjir1LbQDfLQbiKG_VhEONuk/s200/020711+017.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">TIP #3: Make your own t-shirts!</span></strong><br /><br /><p>Of course, you can't go to Disney unless you are decked out in something Disney right?! i found these cute Disney Cars and Disney Princess shirts at Jo-Ann's, used my 50% coupon and got them for around $3 each. You can buy fabric markers and have the kids color them themselves before the big day! They can then proudly wear them and show them off!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzCZ3NCRFwLIGuRo4LtpBSrRSumCFtYzMeOM3TrhFCsvk5FV3fGSWrJcwy8bvCCcKQ19SWJEqqtzqEjR7UbLRTGdtybmVzhOeYzpl7z4rmkyCBN2lRgwHqXbY0qz7qd1_jnAgex7GBNQ/s1600/020711+009.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578827528633071746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvzCZ3NCRFwLIGuRo4LtpBSrRSumCFtYzMeOM3TrhFCsvk5FV3fGSWrJcwy8bvCCcKQ19SWJEqqtzqEjR7UbLRTGdtybmVzhOeYzpl7z4rmkyCBN2lRgwHqXbY0qz7qd1_jnAgex7GBNQ/s200/020711+009.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg3sspPGaB92ZKu6Xs1Yd94ol3SdjihMdPg8ZQ4WwO3cLdYcapxpUSGgeGHO4OsuZU7zpuNdStxE4dHvcRe-xxNLOp-Yq69LUJUxNrYUphgwSVgM0bN4npS2b5P2avPCTHb6aNRpmE3fI/s1600/020711+008.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578827525812255026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg3sspPGaB92ZKu6Xs1Yd94ol3SdjihMdPg8ZQ4WwO3cLdYcapxpUSGgeGHO4OsuZU7zpuNdStxE4dHvcRe-xxNLOp-Yq69LUJUxNrYUphgwSVgM0bN4npS2b5P2avPCTHb6aNRpmE3fI/s200/020711+008.jpg" /></a></p><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Tip #4: Coin Tubes</span></strong><br /><br /><p>Landen LOVES getting pressed pennies from anywhere we go! Everytime we go on vacation somewhere we always look for pressed pennies machines! Disney has a HUGE selection of them! Every character, every ride, every land, every EVERYTHING!! They even have a shop on Main Street FULL of pressed penny machines! it can get REALLY frustrating trying to dig through bags/purses to find 2 quarters and a penny for each machine. An easy way is to have the kids do chores before Disney that will earn them a quarter or two each. Then have them gather up all the pennies they can find between the couch cushions and put them in an M&M tube! Just about any grocery store sells these tubes full of mini M&M's, buy one for each kid, enjoy M&Ms, peel off the label, have the kids decorate the tube with their name, stickers, etc and organize the coins, 2 quarters one penny, 2 quarters one penny, till it's full! I will also attach a piece of yard to the bottles so we carry them easily! You may want to bring a sandwich baggie for all the pressed pennies!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnirmGad-yjF3LF45Ey-O7LPGz95KbRD8JqhUHqAAVS1ue_f3s0f7XTTpX6XCVtqr-KFqxQrZ4RpvCCVKoPPzLN-1su7CjxNNSK9XxUknE5zQzvCd9FDrF8XMj8exQAjdmNzQcxr0wSM/s1600/020711+015.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578828062150217282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRnirmGad-yjF3LF45Ey-O7LPGz95KbRD8JqhUHqAAVS1ue_f3s0f7XTTpX6XCVtqr-KFqxQrZ4RpvCCVKoPPzLN-1su7CjxNNSK9XxUknE5zQzvCd9FDrF8XMj8exQAjdmNzQcxr0wSM/s200/020711+015.jpg" /></a></p><p></p><p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Tip #5: Take alongs</strong></span></p><p>This year we are going to attempt driving (yikes!) but, it's only going to cost us around $600 to drive from Idaho to So. Cali and 2 nights in a hotel, instead of roughly $1500++ for airfaire. (kids ages 2+ have to buy a full price airline ticket!) So here are a few things we will be taking with us to survive the drive! (Besides your obvious books, toys and snacks)</p><ol><li>DVD player with new movies (library is a good idea)</li><li>Again, hit up the dollar store for new toys, sticker books, coloring books, playdoh, white boards, stitching patterns, etc. </li><li>WRAP toys! It may seem silly but wrapping new toys for the kids to play with will entertain them longer (just make sure you take toys out of packaging to prevent too much trash build up)</li><li>ALUMINUM FOIL! Bring a tube or two to make aluminium foil animals/figures/hats, etc.</li><li>Potty break? Bring a kids training toilet, it is small enough to fit in a car and instead of pulling over every hour for kids to go potty, use the portable toilet. Also, bring a thick burp rag or reusable diaper to put on the bottom of the potty so prevent splishing and splashing of toilet goods til you can dump it. </li><li>Headphones for the kids! After listening to cartoons for a few hours, mom and dad will get SICK of it! </li><li>Have the kids pack their own backpack with a few of their favorite toys and keep it accessable to them throughout the drive. </li><li>Lap Desk- I bought these lap trays/desks for each of the kids to take with us in the car. Since they are both in carseats it's hard to do anything on your lap, but these will allow them to color, play, even eat without making a big mess in my van! They make actual "car trays" online but those can be pretty spending. I found these at Hobby Lobby for $6.99 each and they'll work perfect! They even have little cubbies to store crayons, coloring books and more in them! </li></ol><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkKSyfPzF6pEVoX0GwxYjJorRFSjo0jA__NtUB-iEGVxpsKtVFHsDSPI13gnhSTfYARJ6LJ4QSP7BRnY9tZMDogemtwzPpjf_IgraLMLNPNShW5fXGyStEBvEyBHtTkbLo__MnSPEOaY4/s1600/lap+trays"><img style="WIDTH: 158px; HEIGHT: 145px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578864185191455282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkKSyfPzF6pEVoX0GwxYjJorRFSjo0jA__NtUB-iEGVxpsKtVFHsDSPI13gnhSTfYARJ6LJ4QSP7BRnY9tZMDogemtwzPpjf_IgraLMLNPNShW5fXGyStEBvEyBHtTkbLo__MnSPEOaY4/s200/lap+trays" /></a><br /><br />Make seek and find jars, you can buy colored sand at most crafts stores and find random objects to put in the jars. Make a list of what items are in it and have contests to see who can find that item first.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6AWEeq0KU_ny48DtQa8x09efA7ODXaBs8-AGJO1KmAWecjGqK5YOE4IEqj2F7gV0_XKToP4THl8KdSdlJfRSTvstZsVxe4enXX8WezzoWhL6IfMx6qSk8IUi-03PI-_bbw84C_RMMOEw/s1600/020711+012.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578827541558439650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6AWEeq0KU_ny48DtQa8x09efA7ODXaBs8-AGJO1KmAWecjGqK5YOE4IEqj2F7gV0_XKToP4THl8KdSdlJfRSTvstZsVxe4enXX8WezzoWhL6IfMx6qSk8IUi-03PI-_bbw84C_RMMOEw/s200/020711+012.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yTJclxqIKSYANXGNjzZDTLO6d8ihbE9skZ5SFhgvSrsZMkA32UcR1eLFOVPfp97u_0Ml3iM3Hon5W1L3QU3LAE1wwGFnA1A4LLmCH0jEJlI5PLS8Rvg69B1t4pn1EOypLlwPYzeCwcI/s1600/020711+014.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578828047144836194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3yTJclxqIKSYANXGNjzZDTLO6d8ihbE9skZ5SFhgvSrsZMkA32UcR1eLFOVPfp97u_0Ml3iM3Hon5W1L3QU3LAE1wwGFnA1A4LLmCH0jEJlI5PLS8Rvg69B1t4pn1EOypLlwPYzeCwcI/s200/020711+014.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Tip #6: FOOD, need i say more?</strong></span><br /><br />A typical "fast food" meal at Disneyland will cost you around $12!! Stay at a hotel that has a free breakfast buffet and FILL up before you go into the park, that will last you a while! Your not "supposed" to bring food into Disney but we've been able to bring in snacks for the kids without any problem. Granola bars, fruits, gold fish, fruit snacks, and refillable water bottles are a great way to save! One apple at Disneyland will cost you almost $2!!! You can also bring a cooler of food and leave it in your car to go have lunch or rent a locker outside of the entrance and go have snacks/meals, doing that for one meal will save you on average for a family of four around $50! Another idea is to bring a toaster to your hotel, you can make several different meals with just a toaster. Toast, bagel sandwiches, waffles, etc.<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Tip #7: What to bring into the park</strong></span><br /><br />Bring your own ponchos, even if it doesn't look like rain, bring one for each family member and your stroller just in case! You can expect to spend around $10-$15 for ONE poncho from Disneyland, but you can often find them at (guess where?!) THE DOLLAR STORE! Even if it's raining most of the rides/attractions stay open during the rain, most people leave the park or don't go on rides during that time so it's perfect!<br /><br />Bring your own stroller. A stroller rental from Disneyland will cost about $10/day and they are uncomfortable and offer no room for storage!<br />Camera, extra batteries, film (do people still use film?)<br /><br />Change of clothes- Forget the "you may get wet" caution sign in front of splash mountain! Let's face it.... YOU. WILL. GET. DRENCHED! Bring extra sunscreen and DRINK WATER! LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Tip #8: Don't forget the Beach</strong></span><br /><br />You can't go to Southern Cali without making a trip to the beach! Make your list to the Dollar Store even longer by getting beach toys at there! I was able to get sand molds, beach ball, buckets, shovels from the dollar store!<br /><br />Everytime we go to the beach i bring an empty, clean baby food jar and have the kids fill it with real beach sand and seashells they found, then label "Kaylee's 1st trip to the beach" etc. It also makes for a fun Find and Seek Jar afterwards!<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Tip #9: Princess at home?</span></strong><br /><br />If you have a little princess at home and she wants to dress up as her favorite princess DO NOT buy a costume at disneyland! The Pixie Place kiosk in the Boise mall now sells Disney princess dresses. They are not like costumes, they are light and comfortable enough to wear all day, even on rides. And they only cost $30! They are machine washable and they even make them for 1-3 year olds! In case you've never looked around for princess dress pricing, $30 is GREAT!<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Tip #10: CityPass</strong></span><br /><br />If you are planning on being in so. Cali for a few days, the best way to save money is getting a CityPass. Getting a citypass gets you admission into Disneyland, DCA, Universal Studios, Sea World, and the Zoo. It's about a 30%-40% savings to do that.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Tip #11: Parking</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong><br />Parking in the parking garage is going to cost about $15/car! Killer!! One tip we usually do is park in the Downtown Disney area. You get free parking for 3 hours. You'll have a little ways to walk, but you can walk through shops making it less boring but just move your car every 3 hours.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Tip #12: Child Swap</span></strong><br /><br />•Adults with kids don't have to stand in line if the ride is only for the adult.<br />◦Example 1: If Mom wants to ride Space Mountain but Dad and kids do not, tell the guy working the ride and show him your family. He will let Mom go in a special, shorter line.<br />◦Example 2: Mom and Dad both want to ride Space Mountain but they have an infant who can't. All 3 wait in line and when they get to the front, tell the staff you want to trade off. Mom rides first while Dad and baby wait; when Mom is done, Dad takes her seat and rides immediately.<br /><br />*****************<br />A far as hotels, i'm definately not the person to ask, but i know that staying off-site you can get a decent price hotel, especially off season. AAA, and travel agents also offer discounts.<br /><br />For tickets into the park, again i'm definately not the person to ask because i've been over a thousand times and never paid, but getting a "park hopper" pass is definately the way to go. This will get you into Disneyland and DCA and you can go back and forth as much as you want. Also buying more than one day at disney will be cheaper. (i.e. a 5 day pass is cheapest!) And it may sound silly, but check craigslist or ebay for discounted tickets. Often times people will pay for additional days but not be able to make it. Just do your work and make sure they are legit before purchasing!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">ADDITIONAL TIPS:<br /></span></strong><br /><br /><ul><li>Even though Disneyland closes at (let's say) 9pm, main street shops stay open til the LAST PERSON is gone! So do all your shopping at the end of the day! Last year, my family and i were the very last people on an empty main street at 2am! It's kinda neat to see Disney with NO ONE there! </li><li>If you go to guest relations you can get a FREE button if you're there for a special occation, birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, 1st trip to disney, newlyweds, family reunions, etc. Just go to guest relations and ask for a specific button and everyone can get one free! </li><li>USE FASTPASS! Fast pass is a ticket that gets you a "go to the front of the line" sort of thing. You can get only one per person per every few hours. So, if you want to go to splash mountain but the line is 2 hours long, get a fast pass, go on a few less busy rides, come back any time after your ticket says and wait a MUCH shorter time! </li><li>A Character meal is TOTALLY worth it! These cost more than your average $10/person meal but they are TOTALLY worth it! You can sit and eat really good food and have the characters come to YOUR table! No waiting in line after line in the park, you can take pictures, get autographs without even leaving your table! There are SEVERAL different character meals.</li><li>Disney Princesses no longer walk around, so you have to look for specific area where they will be and the line is usually pretty long! So have one adult wait in line while the other takes the kids on another ride. </li><li>Here's a trick that the hubs and i did in WDW, i don't think it's "technically" allowed but it saves time! get your fast pass for just one ride and use your spouse's ticket to get a different fast pass. You can ask the ride attendent for a stroller pass and that allows one person to get in the fast pass line. So technically you are 2 fast passes at the same time and get to go on 2 rides in just the fast pass line.</li><li>Even though your fast pass says, "use between 2:00pm and 3:00pm" that doesn't mean you have to go in that hour block.

Landen walked out all sorts of excited and said, "MOMMY, I SAW A BRAND NEW BABY! I think we need a baby in our house."<br />Me: Oh really? You want a little baby in our house everyday that you will help take care of and be the big brother?<br />Landen: YEAH! That would be SOOOO fun!<br />Me: Well would you like a baby brother or baby sister?<br />Landen: I want 2!<br />Me: Oh well i don't know about that! I guess you'll just have to talk to daddy and see what he says.<br />Landen: No, let's not tell daddy, let's keep it a secret from him! :)<br />_____________________________________________<br /><br />Later that night Landen asked me to tell him a bedtime story so i climbed in bed with him and started making up a story... here's how it went:<br />"Once upon a time there was a little boy named Landen. Right before Christmas he was being a really naughty boy and wasn't doing what his mommy said and was always fighting his little sister. So when Santa and the Elvs were looking over the Christmas list they noticed that Landen had moved from the Nice list to the Naughty list! That meant, that Landen wasn't going to get ANY toys for Christmas this year, he was pretty sad and......."<br />(interupted by Landen)<br />"Ummm mom....? I don't like this story!"<br /><br /><br />LOL! Definately things we want to remember! Oh how i love my little buddy! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-70285800111211390262010-11-18T18:24:00.000-08:002010-11-21T21:38:33.332-08:00Bella Bow-tique!I finally got a facebook page for all my bows, tutus, headbands and more!

HILARIOUS!Funny story i have to post super quick before Warren gets home from work! So the other day Warren was taking a shower. While he was getting out i took his towel, clothes and ran off. Since i hadn't done any laundry (yeah, yeah) there was NOTHING for Warren left. So he came running after me. (Don't worry, kids were in bed as this as about 10pm) I quickly ran out the front door and through everything on the front porch as far as they would go. Warren ran after me (buck nekked) and while he was outside i flipped on the porch light and SCREAMED at the top of my lungs! Oh man, i have NEVER laughed so hard in my life! I was literally on the floor rolling around laughing!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-71600293126802771402010-10-13T15:15:00.001-07:002010-10-13T16:28:43.147-07:00Now selling bows!Well i finally decided to sell my bows, headbands & bow hangers!

After doing some research we believe he is called a "Katydid" It's like the spawn of a grasshopper & leaf. It was pretty interesting. Kids enjoyed playing with him for a little while, until he pooped on Landen and Landen chucked it! Since then we've seen a few more outside. They are quite cool little bugs!<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfN3msoAJyUQqUEo3iaq9hTHOXLUS6PD6YkqlcujH3XRb3-klaF37rpvdQaNmHpptM7RVBXmxZebw4TPyd0A6jvAt7kUvnS6YzJQzWt78m_8UtQFLJ28w1xJ_fLRBC6OxA7ZUtAh84xyM/s1600/misc.+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527654136071942866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfN3msoAJyUQqUEo3iaq9hTHOXLUS6PD6YkqlcujH3XRb3-klaF37rpvdQaNmHpptM7RVBXmxZebw4TPyd0A6jvAt7kUvnS6YzJQzWt78m_8UtQFLJ28w1xJ_fLRBC6OxA7ZUtAh84xyM/s200/misc.+003.jpg" /></a> <img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527654128395615922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZY2qQXS11kjN8Kn7G_1bmfO_k5CiyZT5jHY3FDHcuARoPS3lbTxjkRQGkzJ7ovytZElvSAg-SmXeOiEpovtFrD-HyfSzEy2Tp1CNvLHnboPk4s0OHShSHDmbgES_bmwrKAfq2D69UwVk/s200/misc.+002.jpg" /></p><div><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDE1PcbYJiJ-A3c1RogWhgJYn0td5hJ19Q8M524HLSqGyWLPXOewWHQ_NSiozLHhKimicXoNBMyqR8IRMY3Xkw2csMSyGUC0wwLwbpLw9wLwUZYKfEM4DkITNy6xNtxLsNpChMeIp3bPc/s1600/misc.+004.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527654140213879122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDE1PcbYJiJ-A3c1RogWhgJYn0td5hJ19Q8M524HLSqGyWLPXOewWHQ_NSiozLHhKimicXoNBMyqR8IRMY3Xkw2csMSyGUC0wwLwbpLw9wLwUZYKfEM4DkITNy6xNtxLsNpChMeIp3bPc/s200/misc.+004.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFQ0X5u61QiVEdQE5kNpTwO54nodBeXhTGkcB7Epdyrk9aaejkBcdqwBmShfA7Y7a5w8WA3cHAXKVXnj2xm3eYgsJjjzyqJVYHElRtdD5SVVqBnnuCVSiSOwUPgMhgViFI25M-I9-0r4/s1600/misc.+005.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527654448446106274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbFQ0X5u61QiVEdQE5kNpTwO54nodBeXhTGkcB7Epdyrk9aaejkBcdqwBmShfA7Y7a5w8WA3cHAXKVXnj2xm3eYgsJjjzyqJVYHElRtdD5SVVqBnnuCVSiSOwUPgMhgViFI25M-I9-0r4/s200/misc.+005.jpg" /></a></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-61664211589734257262010-10-13T14:54:00.000-07:002010-10-13T15:06:58.944-07:00TombstonesI had been looking EVERYWHERE for cheap Tombstones to put in your front yard but have had NO luck!

Conference, laundry, cleaning bathrooms and having the in laws over for dinner! (i know it's supposed to be a day of rest but i can never just SIT and watch something) Can i just say, THANK GOODNESS for TIVO! I would NOT have been able to enjoy both sessions today without it!! <span style="color:#6633ff;">"Not expressing gratitude is like wrapping a present and not giving it".</span> LOVE this message!<br /><br /><br />After conference tonight i hoped online and happening to be browsing craigslist. I found an ad for a free 1 yr old PUGGLE (beagle & pug) I, of course, being an amazing wife decided to call and ASK Warren permission first! :) After i rapidly got off the phone with the hubs i called the guy in the ad and he said if i had called 2 minutes sooner we could have had the dog, but some little old lady was on her way to come pick it up :( I was, oddly, pretty bummed. But a couple hrs later the guy called me back and said she never showed up! So we could come get him! Coinsedence? either way JOY!!! So Landen and i drove "all the way" to the other side of the subdivison to check out the dog. His name was Trek but that his original owners called him Toby. Ready for coinsedence #2? Literally a couple days ago i told Warren, when and IF we get a dog we need to name him Toby.... It was MEANT to be! Toby was destined to be our dog! So you bet, we picked him up and took him home tonight! He is the SWEETEST little dog and he is awesome with the kids!!! He is so loving and so calm! Plus hes a 1 yr old so that helps! Landen has been begging for a dog and this one, for some reason, felt right. Hes adorable! The kids have been chasing him around night!<br />So welcome to our crazy, busy, nutty, not so little anymore family Toby. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYN891NgbeoUtavJUz29QEvgZYpQh4NjO0MPqyiewxI_lCfxujGhwhgoHziJ4tQETFN7rERgOqXWNYZ2DYjzGjVUlr4C5uFq7ymbXtWOXob-JV7jxR-DgFo8z3orradHXA4IE3z27rovc/s1600/sunday+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524016759856623682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYN891NgbeoUtavJUz29QEvgZYpQh4NjO0MPqyiewxI_lCfxujGhwhgoHziJ4tQETFN7rERgOqXWNYZ2DYjzGjVUlr4C5uFq7ymbXtWOXob-JV7jxR-DgFo8z3orradHXA4IE3z27rovc/s320/sunday+003.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Speaking of adorable.....(playing with daddy's glasses)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7bNj_wCPbs3MjkbhKGayXd6Waj3Si3eTgbbiJ6MES3hdxx582gDonqNMv9RdtJwTybIHpGABUv7Q1TCvJUOhhSVTn9dojOLF_jUVLX7RYRa2TrwWli2wlL0Lmkax0iAwMDDHryFu3iG4/s1600/sunday+001.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524015317146860130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7bNj_wCPbs3MjkbhKGayXd6Waj3Si3eTgbbiJ6MES3hdxx582gDonqNMv9RdtJwTybIHpGABUv7Q1TCvJUOhhSVTn9dojOLF_jUVLX7RYRa2TrwWli2wlL0Lmkax0iAwMDDHryFu3iG4/s320/sunday+001.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiLHVnb7msYMnHX70l1WqfCsb2A_PcHrp2_0DIVXPd-qG89uysPAGOa2hn2jT2aRJsvS45HUgKIZ1cPkh0AVBW9eqGJkB2dcg4d5DHJTWKu56t4ZPqDpoX_mfNRF-vVVsDxwAtP3l4D8/s1600/sunday+002.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524015323275712418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiLHVnb7msYMnHX70l1WqfCsb2A_PcHrp2_0DIVXPd-qG89uysPAGOa2hn2jT2aRJsvS45HUgKIZ1cPkh0AVBW9eqGJkB2dcg4d5DHJTWKu56t4ZPqDpoX_mfNRF-vVVsDxwAtP3l4D8/s320/sunday+002.jpg" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-18812891316376803402010-09-17T07:53:00.000-07:002010-09-17T08:08:01.275-07:002 Special Birthdays!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5XRiN0M-oijUsjs8cTU3wN1Ov3WVRkE2OA1RNRtiKobVtweRSfeqn1CJzxCZO29mmCMF8GDSNzpWYAaGHoVL8Fprjvdw2PhaZtL8ioKguulqupFUgbLZ_7XSSwFblzLWtWZr0aZAYB_0/s1600/Picture+127.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWp4Xi-eUkof_58Ouhz81e0mnA-MvdhDP02Hn3HDABNZntlLYNfgyWOWTSAx-jlXsH1pBc9F9ww7FzQNs803qX9y7U1PBxtPbYNs75WqHhowZ7JWnHnkNzfsMdwPqFh43HcOQfjwGu7w/s1600/mirror.bmp"><img style="WIDTH: 256px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517896466276088354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWp4Xi-eUkof_58Ouhz81e0mnA-MvdhDP02Hn3HDABNZntlLYNfgyWOWTSAx-jlXsH1pBc9F9ww7FzQNs803qX9y7U1PBxtPbYNs75WqHhowZ7JWnHnkNzfsMdwPqFh43HcOQfjwGu7w/s320/mirror.bmp" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXCzdr6geVhYXJZEB4HnpRPO_hyfXzoHaVwuIdqVIstLfd-3WL89q64IYrtcRRd7nTGOtdmUrQNSGgEb0sgPs4OZlPV7-BdPmDSHEUTLCVqmdMS__7PW_HY5HUh4Y7c7CYrFLIAj8OJ0Q/s1600/new+kaylee.bmp"><img style="WIDTH: 234px; HEIGHT: 178px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517896455329641522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXCzdr6geVhYXJZEB4HnpRPO_hyfXzoHaVwuIdqVIstLfd-3WL89q64IYrtcRRd7nTGOtdmUrQNSGgEb0sgPs4OZlPV7-BdPmDSHEUTLCVqmdMS__7PW_HY5HUh4Y7c7CYrFLIAj8OJ0Q/s320/new+kaylee.bmp" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNi4oTQ3wKfaPIkyeTxYnIEAY8NTBmcMNAyWIjxvfvEEKSICL17PzSKmeHDBW9h4R4fPiM-dq6-3jKzpFXxUHXYXLWM8XSrinmSZaBa7V_fEe4u6vHUbpWomeM3ogubwimxJN_0v4nrO8/s1600/May+misc.+047.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 241px; HEIGHT: 184px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517896475072696898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNi4oTQ3wKfaPIkyeTxYnIEAY8NTBmcMNAyWIjxvfvEEKSICL17PzSKmeHDBW9h4R4fPiM-dq6-3jKzpFXxUHXYXLWM8XSrinmSZaBa7V_fEe4u6vHUbpWomeM3ogubwimxJN_0v4nrO8/s320/May+misc.+047.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#cc33cc;">Today is Kaylee's 2nd birthday!! I cannot believe where the time has gone! I was going through old pictures to find some to post of Kaylee and i got very tearful at how little she used to be and WHERE IN THE HECK DID 2 YEARS GO?! Honestly!!! Kaylee is such a sweet, sweet baby girl! She's our little monkey, very mischievious & sassy (tiny but mighty, and you better not forget that!) but she's also such a girly-girly, has to take her makeup, her purse, her jewelry, everywhere she goes. We will go through 3 or 4 different outfits and shoes before she decides on one to wear! (she's going to cost us a fortune in clothes and shoes alone!) she's still so tiny and petite just like mommy. She finally graduated out of her 12 month clothing (well, some of it) and is starting to get into 18 months. She is so snuggly and so loving. She has started to say the family prayer and LOVES it! She's so sweet! We are very blessed to have this sweet, sweet baby girl in our lives! Last night we had a little birthday party for her with cake, ice cream and loads of presents! She is a spoiled spoiled little girl! And this afternoon Kaylee is having her little girlfriends over for a princess lunchin! I am so excited for it! Pics to come! </span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#cc33cc;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LITTLE PRINCESS KAYBEAR!</strong></span> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517898032810505362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkp146NWRX69sCVrF8r8p8YmJMTmP-57kWbFFFoFaiiUanPDgtbh-tA253E9fYAberhgOYHlQXalLe68hxqsslbQ81X4zwBhsdZ8CwRSmHheTiz4q7ZFzlpH0Y5qEVaPaTTfjOOu5dMkA/s320/Mimi+Here+-May+006.jpg" /> <p align="center"></span><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Today is also very special because Kaylee shares her birthday with her Great Grandma!

(even warren is still in bed) i thought i'd get online and do a quick blog update. <br /><br />On sunday Landen gave his first talk in primary! i was (am) so proud of him! He was supposed to give the scripture one time, a few months ago but was too scared. So when i got the call for him to give a talk, i immediately wrote his 30second talk and we practiced a couple times a day! I gave him a picture to hold (to hide behind) and told him that were going to "read a story to all his friends in primary" (that seemed to help... far less scary then a "TALK") he was so proud! he gave me the biggest grin and sat up and waved to me when i walked into his room. He asked grandma to come listen too, since daddy and grandpa were gone that day. He got up and stood at the podium so proud, and did an awesome job! I was so proud of him! He's my little trooper!<br /><br />Warren, his dad, new brother in law Michael and grandpa went hunting last week. They went archery hunting had a great time. Landen was very sad when he found out that daddy was going to try to shoot bambi. But once he realized that daddy would bring home the dead dear and he could touch it (oh to be a boy!) he was hoping daddy would get one! sounds like there was a few close calls, and several arrows unaccounted for, they all came home empty-handed. But they all were thrilled to have some bonding "boy time".<br /><br />Warren and i have "unofficially" decided it still isn't time for a new baby yet. but as warren mentioned, it's not set in stone and things may change. it just isn't the right time yet, despite how baby hungry i think we BOTH are. Is it weird to say that and then tell you we laid in bed a few nights ago thinking of baby names? LoL... yes, we are weird. So for now... we will stay away from our ward's drinking water and it'll just be the 4 of us for now :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-7237458029579261672010-09-09T10:10:00.000-07:002010-09-09T10:58:47.860-07:00Tessa & Michael's Wedding<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5467354d5449324e6a593d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5467354d5449324e6a593d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=google&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Personalize your own <a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks/" target="_blank">free digital scrapbook</a></td></tr></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-48020566163915273002010-09-08T21:00:00.000-07:002010-09-08T21:03:21.917-07:00Stanley 2010<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5467354d444d334d6a513d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5467354d444d334d6a513d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=google&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Make your own free scrapbooking design</td></tr></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-46904292845640566232010-09-08T20:11:00.000-07:002010-09-08T20:23:28.810-07:00CraigslistAs i sat here posting new things on craigslist (again) i realized how grateful i am for craigslist! We have furnished our home from craigslist, made a 2nd (& 3rd) income off craigslist & have been able to purchase items that we NEVER would have been able to afford through craigslist. My daycare kids were found on craigslist, and i've been able to sell unused items, upgrade items & trade items for HUGE profits and/or NOTHING out of my own pocket! What a blessing! Every piece of furntiure in our home was "previously owned" except for 3 items.... our entertainment center (bought new for us), our bed (bought new for us) and our beautiful crib, which was hand made. Everything else... craigslist. If i buy something i have a nack for remembering what it cost us, even years later and when we are done with that item, put it back on craigslist for the amount we paid for it or a profit (90% of the time, a profit)! We are able to do SO much through craigslist! Recently, we wanted to the take the kids to the fair but knowing how much it actually costs to go is a nightmare! Well, i was able to sell a bunch of unused items for a good stash to take the kids, PLUS i was able to find tickets on craigslist to allow us to go TWICE! For a fraction of the cost! <br /><br />The biggest blessing of craigslist is the random kindness of strangers! There's been a couple times we've posted for things in need that we haven't had the money for at the time and the NUMBEROUS responses of people's willingness to help a complete stranger is amazing! Then turning around and being able to help others when they are in that time of need leaves me with a wonderful feeling and is a great teaching lesson for our kiddos. <br /><br />Do you craigslist?<br /><br />Kind of a random post, but i just wanted to express my feelings and my gratitude towards craigslist this evening! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-61122310009366434272010-09-03T15:06:00.000-07:002010-09-03T15:42:14.131-07:001st annual sisters weekendEnd of July my sister Kiersten and I decided to take a weekend (with no kids!) to go visit my other sister Kelli who works at Yellowstone. I kept a "mini journal" (more for humor purposes) of our trip. So here it is:<br />Day 1:<br />Left 1.5 hrs late<br />Saw Coyote<br />Followed herd of buffalo (too dark for camera)<br />Joked about bear attacking car<br />Laughed at "welcome to yellowstone warnings"<br />Kelli's sucky direections look us 30 miles the WRONG WAY<br />(2am) finally made it<br />Got locked out of dorm room<br />Went outside dorm room to see mama and baby calf, heard it move, ran away (slowly)<br />Kelli stepped in cow pie on the way into her window<br />Went thru 3 pens writing this silly list<br />Watching backside for "Goring"<br />(4am) (i've been up almost a full 24hrs) laughed ourselves silly and made a new friend, Gordon Ramsmee<br /><br />Day 2:<br />After going to bed after 5am we're awake by 9am :(<br />Went back to sleep til 11:30-harder to wake up than at 9<br />Watched bisen and cub from dorm window<br />Pulled over to see Elk on the side of the road<br />Souveneir shopping<br />Waited and wait for Old Faithful... it was.... eh....<br />Went on 3+mile hike to morning glory... saw tons of geysers<br />Back to hotel, ate frito salad (YUM)<br />Facebooked the hubs<br /><br />Day 3:<br />Wanted to be gone "early" left at 11:30am<br />Took us 42mins to drive about 1.5 miles because of darn bissen crossing. (They aren't nearly as cool anymore)<br />Finally got to Uncle Tom's Trail. It was extremely steep starting off. It made me tired thinking about walking up & nervous seeing obviously very well fit men and women heavily breathing on their way up.<br />Made it to the bottom-one word-GORGEOUS!<br />Dragged outselves back up, 335 STEEP stairs (i almost fainted)<br />Watched in awe as boy with 1 leg ran passed us<br />Recovered-went on a new, ,shorter trail to Brink of Upper Falls-Fun, Easy, Beautiful!<br />Started to rain & storm w hile on trail-we didn't care, stayed and took pics<br />Started to hail-already soaked, we ran to the car.<br />Drove back to hotel-listen to Kiersten complain about bissin traffic, i took more pics & still wished one would come up to my window- or ram us :) Does insurance cover bissen? hmmm...<br />Went to Kelli's resturant for dinner. Had Antelope (tastes JUST like hamburger), Bisen (chewy but GOOD), Elk (YUM!) & lobster tail (tastes like cheap crab)$80 later for 3 meals... ouch!<br />Attempted to have a mini fire on the beach for S'mores... FAILED!<br />Used a lighter in the car to roast marshmellows on a stick... still had my s'mores<br />Went the the Pub-played pool & table tennis (note to self:never enter contest with Kelli)<br /><br />Day 4: (final day)<br />Headed home :(<br />Tried to get last of remaining license plate states: I did find Maine :)<br /><br /><br />All in all, it was a great trip, and we had a wonderful time!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327929823606018147.post-83187139528122890652010-09-03T12:30:00.000-07:002010-09-03T12:40:11.100-07:00Favorites worth sharing!Just for fun.... here are a couple of my FAVORITE dances from this season of So You Think You Can Dance... <br /><br />This one is my NUMBER one favorite of ALL TIME!!! To make it even better while watching it... Alex (the white guy) is a trained BALLET dancer, Dancing with all-star hip hop dancer Twitch.... ENJOY! <br />Twilex!<br /><object style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/TLtSfYX8tJk/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TLtSfYX8tJk?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TLtSfYX8tJk?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object> <br /><br />Another favorite was by Robert and all-star Allison. "Fix you" Was choreographed by all-star Travis for his mom who has breast cancer and this was dedicated to fixing her.
