What we've been up to-

Hope you don't mind a personal post...

For a summer that I wasn't planning on doing much we have had some unexpected vacations that have been a lot of fun. First my parents were so incredibly kind and took us to Disneyland...the girls dream come true.

Their first trip on an airplane! My oldest had the cutest giggle as we took off. Their excitement made it feel like my first time too.

One of their favorite things was dancing with the parade dancers.

And of course the long awaited breakfast with the princesses. We were lucky enough to have Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine and of course Ariel join us. The girls absolutely loved it!

The other favorite was getting their faces painted. They wouldn't let me wash it off the next day.

THANK YOU so much mom and dad. We had such a great time...an experience that I am sure we won't soon forget.

A couple weeks later we packed up again and went to Lake Powell (without my better half this time... awful Bar Exam) with my family. I have the best memories there. We went every summer growing up, if not twice, and I am grateful that my girls get to make those kind of memories.

She is getting so big! She rode the banana boat and did such a great job. Everyone got dumped off and she held on. She was excited and I even got a fist pump. I was really proud of her on this trip. She did a great job trying new things and was a great help to me.

When we got home, I had one day to wash and repack and we were on our way to West Yellowstone. Wow, what an amazing place! Everything was so beautiful...geysers, hot pools, the wildlife, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We had an incredible trip. I really wasn't ready to come home.

We walked down where the people are. It was an incredible view! Thanks for such a fun, much needed relaxing trip Grandma Sue. We sure appreciate it.

Wow these pics are amazing Keli. I cant believe what a good sport you are to pack up your kids and go on all of those trips, just packing for one stresses me out. We are headed to California next week and are taking Noah to Dland and cannot wait for his reaction! We need to get together soon, I feel like I havent seen you in forever.
