Disneyland



We had so much fun in Disneyland! We went with John's brother, Donald, and his family. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more! Apart from lack of sleep, too much junk food, and so much entertainment packed into five days our kids did surprisingly well!


We got there on Monday Feb 11th at around 9:30 and quickly drove to the hotel where we changed out of our long pants and sweatshirts to shorts and short sleeve to head to Disneyland! The weather was amazing, about 80 degrees for two days! The rest of the time was like springtime in Utah, which is just fine with me!


Janessa's favorite ride was Alice in Wonderland. We coaxed her to go on a couple of rides that she didn't really want to but she did pretty well! Isaac was our adventurous one and would have gone on anything had he been a little taller! His favorite ride was Pirates of the Carribean- he still asks if he can go on it everyday!


Janessa got an autograph book for the characters to sign and when the trip was over and she hadn't gotten all the signatures we both came up with the brilliant idea for Mom to forge the rest! She thought I did a pretty good job of forging! Hopefully this example doesn't lead to any mischievousness on her part!


We had so much fun being with cousins and family while we were there! John was lucky to have Donald there to go on the BIG rides with, since I was a little incapacitated and couldn't go on some of the fun rides. I was glad he was able to act like a kid for most of the time- he needed it!

Last Day of Hula

Janessa had her last day of Hula lessons on Wednesday. I am VERY sad but I need to give her a break and let her do something new. She was so good at hula, she didn't really like taking Tahitian but as you can see by the video she did pretty well. I am proud of her for sticking with it for a full year. Maybe after a little break for a couple of months she will want to start back up again. She loves performing so maybe once the performances start up in the summer time we can jump back in. We also loved going to the annual Ili' O Polynesian Luau in July and we can't miss it this year! We are going to miss, Miss Malia and all of her hard work! We love her and her family!

SNOW DAY

Janessa and Isaac finally talked Johnny into building them a snow fort.
