Fall break Disneyland!!!


















Frank and the kids REALLY wanted to go to Disneyland this Fall Break!!! I was trying to be the voice of reason..... Disneyland is expensive!!! We don't have the money....7 kids in the car for 6 to 7 hours?? Is this really going to be a lot of fun????


We wanted to get one more trip in before Keigan graduates from highschool. We as a family feel our time is limited with all our kids available. Some of our ducks will be leaving the nest soon, so we have to embrace any opportunities.

Frank has a sister and brother in law that live in California and work for Disneyland. They worked their "magic" and shared with us their passes they get each year. They were also able to get us a room for a fraction of the cost. Another Disneyland perk....

We had so much fun. We took 2 cars. I had the girls and Frank had the boys. We were armed with movies and snacks....

It was alot of fun to go when your little ones know the Disney movies. Then they go on the rides and feel apart of it!!! They finished Its a Small World and The buzz Light Year ride was new. I got all the big kids on The Tower Of Terror(Kyler loved it by the way) Kyler is a thrill seeker. He also loved the Mickey Mouse Roller Coaster. I couldn't believe it!!!His picture they took is of him SMILING!!!! He loved it!

WE all had a lot of un. We did it with little fighting(I won't lie) and lots of help!

Rather than being glad I am home.... this time I am looking forward to another trip!

Desert Ridge Band Concert

The High school had a band concert last night. I am so excited that all 3 of my high school kids made the top band.

Of course I want to take a picture. And what I do not understand is why... can't I get any cooperation with these guys? Seriously they are old enough to behave....Right:)

Homecoming 2009

Kilean and Brie'el went to homecoming this year. Kilean went with a bunch of her friends and Brie'el went with Brett. I was very happy with their dress choices this year. Both girls were pretty without lots of makeup and super short tight dresses!!!
