Callie's Baptism

Callie chose to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints today. It was a perfect day including her big brother accompanying the music, her big sisters (next door) singing with her, both Grandma's spoke, and her Dad baptizing and confirming her a member. It was a beautiful blur of a day. I'm just happy I got a before picture with them all in white. I'm so happy she made this decision and is choosing to follow in the Savior's footsteps.

Snow Day!

The weather lately has been incredible! Supposedly the storm of the century has come to AZ and I love it. Probably because I don't have to live in it. It snowed in Scottsdale Saturday and Flagstaff received 35 inches of snow last Thursday, the most snow they have ever had in one day. Heading to work I was surprised when my car door was frozen shut! So crazy! We decided last min to drive to Payson and play in the snow. We didn't even need to drive all the way to Payson, just pulled off the side of the road and played for about an hour or so. Our friends joined us and I'm so glad they did. The Morris Family has 3 of my kids' BEST FRIENDS. Such cuties.

Disneyland

For Christmas I made the kids Mickey Mouse shirts and bought tickets to Disneyland for 3 days. I have never taken my kids to Disneyland and was starting to have some serious mom guilt over that. The plan was to leave April home with Ron while I take the older 3 myself. Thankfully I’m a genius and asked my Dad if he would like to join us. Being the fun Grandpa that he is he accepted!!! He really saved the trip I’m so glad he joined us. I had planned and planned this trip thought about attire, food (GF and snacks), I researched the Disneyland app and website, checked the weather... etc. The weather threw me for a loop. I knew the forecast was rainy for 2 of the 3 days we were there. But I didn’t take into account that rain in California weather is a lot different than rain in AZ. It’s COLD!!!! And clothes/shoes NEVER dry out. The rain made for nice short lines but also very cold and wet climate. I used the hair dryer a lot for shoes and kept putting clothes in the laundry mat dryer to help keep my kids as warm and dry as possible. 









   




Callie got to meet Minnie Mouse and Tinker Bell. Some of our favorite roller coasters were Guardians of the Galaxy and the Incredicoaster. I LOVED watching my kids experience things. I was really impressed with Callie and Noah. They are not normally adventurous about rollercoasters. They went on ALL of them and loved it! Mason (when he wasn’t pushing buttons or pestering his siblings) was quite the crack up too. He has such a zest for life and a quick wit I love it. My Dad was really sweet about staying at the hotel with whoever was worn out or cold. On the last day Jenessa even came and played at Disneyland with us!! She’s a Disneyland fanatic/expert and it was super fun having her there. She recently moved to California so she took an Uber to our hotel and stayed there Monday Night. Callie and I really enjoyed our girls night and last day of fun with her.
