Disneyland!

Our Disneyland Adventure!

We went to Disneyland for the Day Family Reunion.  We drove there on Friday, went to Disneyland on Saturday, and then drove home on Sunday.  It was a short trip, but very fun!

We were so excited to be at Disneyland, we took a lot of pictures right outside the gates...

And inside the gates! :) The weather was great and looked very promising for a perfect day at the place where all your dreams come true.

We screamed and laughed our way through Pirates of the Carribean, the Jungle Ride, and the Haunted Mansion.  We also went on the Winnie the Pooh ride.  The next ride we decided to go on was in Fantasyland...Mr. Toads Wild Ride.

As we were riding this kid ride, Tyler saw a hat in the flashing lights and decided to reach out and grab it.  At the very moment he reached down, the car took a 'wild' turn and swung him like a baseball bat right into the frame of the door! This is how I saw him when we came out of the ride...it was quite scary!

The Disneyland nurse lady came and cleaned it all up...and told us we needed to leave the park and go to the doctor so he could get stitched up.

As we left the ride, which was now closed down for 'medical purposes' Tyler was quite the star.  We spent an agonizing 3 hours in the closest ER...where many adventures took place all in itself.  That would take 2 days to blog about.  We finally made it back to Disneyland and continued our wonderful day at the park!

We ate with Tylers brother and his family at the all you can eat BBQ place...man it was good!

Although the fireworks show got cancelled, we still had a great day in California and with the Day family.  The moral of the story? Always keep your legs and arms...and HEAD inside the ride at all times!!!

The End.

Lake Mead!

Tyler and I went with our familiy to Lake Mead!  I have been going to Lake Mead since I was three months old, twice a year....I just love it there!!! We drove to So Jo and then drove with Jonny and Ashley...and Cubby :) I was nervous to drive with the dog but it was great! I feel like we bonded :) It was fun to spend time with Jonny and Ashley too! We stayed at St. George for the night and then went to the lake on Friday, camped that night and boated again Saturday. We stayed in St. George Saturday night and drove home Sunday! It was a pretty short trip, but I am so glad we got to go! It was so much fun, thanks for such a great time!

Here is Jonny Ash and Cubby while we are driving...cute little family.

Mothers

This here is my BEAUTIFUL mom.

This Mothers Day, I thought A LOT about how much my mom has impacted my life, and all of the wonderful things she has done for our family.

My mom is the first person I call when I have sad news.

My mom is the first person I call when I have the greatest news!

My mom has always been there for me, even when I was out of the country.

My mom has taught by me by her example.

My mom has a contagiousness about her, everybody wants to be around her!

I want to be exactly like my mom!!

Thanks for being the best mom ever!  I hope that I can be to my children what you are to me!  It seemed so much more real this Mothers Day that I will actually be a mom, and it made me really think of all the wonderful qualities you have and how amazing you are!  I love you mom! :)

Also with this Mothers Day, I thought a lot about all of the other 'moms' that I have in my life! In this picture are four of my best friends in the whole wide world, and the best part is I get to be with them forever! :)  I LOVE being with my Aunts, Granny, and Mom!  I am seriously the luckiest girl in the world!  They are all so wonderful to me. I love going shopping with them, as well as just sitting and talking about nothing!  They have done so much for me in my life.  I LOVE YOU GUYS!! :)

GRADUATION!!

             YAHOOOO!!! I finally graduated!!  I graduated in Family, Consumer and Human Development with an emphasis in Family and Community Services.  My college experiences have been sooo wonderful! I am so blessed to have had these years to learn and grow!  I cried last night because its all over...its bitter sweet! I am sooo happy to be done with stressful finals, long papers, studying and walking up the 'the hill' in the wee hours in the morning in the freezing cold winter!  But...I have met SO many wonderful people, have had so many wonderful leadership experiences, and learned so much!  I am so grateful for this wonderful experience! I am also so happy that my family could be there to celebrate with me! :)

This is my cousin Lane! His family was there as well, he graduated in Business!

This is how I was the whole ceremony....My arms raised in the air because I was so happy and excited!! :)

This is one of my favorite teachers!

I finally got the diploma! Well...the cover :)

An AMAZING weekend!

           This weekend was one of the most memorable of my life.  It was AMAZING to kick it off Friday morning by finding out what we are having...A GIRL!!  Oh my heck, to see her kick her feet...to see her beating heart and her spine and every part of her body was so amazing!  She is a healthly little girl!!!  She wouldn't let us get a good head shot because her forhead was resting on her knees...but atleast her legs were up so we know for sure she is a girl. :)  I CANT WAIT! Her name is Lily Rae Day, and her due date is September 28th, 2010 :)

           As you can tell in that picture...it was also Tylers birthday on Thursday but since he had work and school we celebrated on Friday!  We met my parents, Jordo, Granny, Gramps, Jami and Brax at the hotel here in Logan and then went to Firehouse Pizzeria to celebrate!  Here is everybodys mug shots...except Jami apparantly ducked out every time? Don't worry, I have a picture of her at the movie :)

After dinner we went back to my apartment for cake, icecream, and a parrrtayyy :) It was so much fun to have the family to MY house for once!  I love hosting :)  We even had a pinata!  It was so much fun, and thanks again for all of the presents for Tyler and for my graduation!!

We had to use this hammer thing that we got for our new tent because it was the only thing I could think of to hit it with! It worked...and it was fun to swing! :)

Braxton giving it a swing...

Thats Jordans arm up and propped ready to hit that sucker!

Yahoo! CANDY! :)

Finally...that night we went and saw Iron Man 2! We had to wait in a long line of college students...it was weird for my parents I think...welcome to Logan! Ha, we sat in the front section, but it was still way good!  Here is Jordan Brax and Tyler waiting for the movie to start...

And my mom, dad and Jami on the other side!! I was inbetween all of my most favorite people! :)  Thanks for a great celebration!  I am going to post my graduation on another one because this one is loooong!
