Disneyland the First Day

As we are anxiously waiting for the park to open my kids are soooo excited. We're a little excited too.

Teacups with their cousins. My mom offered to watch Nytis one day so we only had the older kids and we brought some cousins a long to help out, which was really nice. They could ride with the kids and help entertain them.

I love his looks.

Dumbo. Unfortunately I don't have a shot without Megan's hand in her face because the sun was in our eyes.

While the big kids went on Splash Mountain, I took Jonah and Megan on the Winnie the Pooh ride. Megan was not sure yet that she wanted to go on Splash Mountain. She didn't want to get wet. By the end of the day she went on it and loved it.

Jungle Cruise.

Again, while Dan took the older ones on Space Mountain I took the little ones on the Omnibus and the Horsedrawn trolley. Megan wasn't sure at first about trying Space Mountain, but then her and I went on it later and it became her favorite fast ride, much to her dad's delight.

We bought the kids Mickey Mouse hats this year. A pink princess one for Catherine, of course.

A Lightening McQueen one for Jonah, of course.

And what else, but Tinkerbell for Megan.

Mommy and Catherine on Big Thunder Mountain. This is Catherine's favorite ride.

Megan was on it at the same time on the other side.

Waiting for Mommy and her cousin to get off Indiana Jones. This was the only ride the girls didn't go on because they weren't tall enough.

Crashed finally.

I finally got my driver's license. Yeah!!!!!!!

Oh, Jonah was soooo excited about the Autopia. Through the whole line he kept saying "Cars! Cars!" And he was so excited to steer the car with his Dan. It was like watching a kid at Christmas morning getting everything he ever wanted. It was so much fun.

Megan loved driving too.

It's not easy taking pictures from the car ahead.

We ended that night with the Astro Blasters.

Total: about 32 different rides, plus some of them more than once during the week of Thanksgiving. I have a truely amazing husband to get us on so much.

I'm pregnant!!!!

So for most of you this is old news, but it has been brought to my attention that I haven't mentioned anything about this pregnancy of my blog, so not everyone knew about it. So here are a few pictures of me. I'm almost 37 weeks in these pictures.
I'm having this baby in less than 2 weeks by c-section. We decided to be surprised with this one so we don't know what it is. I have a pink afghan finished and I'm working on a boy's quilt, but other than that, we have everything we need for either a boy or a girl.

Hiking

We went for a drive up American Fork canyon and took a couple hikes. The kids can't stay away from streams and water, of course. At least here it is a lot more mild than farther down the river.

Jonah was so excited to be out hiking around. He loves to be outdoors and go walking places. Dan should definately have his scouter to do things with.

Hiking up the trail to the Timp cave. We only walked part way up. It's such a beautiful area. The girls really, really wanted to continue all the way up to the cave, but it was 1.5 miles and the tickets were already sold out and we weren't planning on it from the start, so we didn't. We walked a little ways though and the girls keep bugging us to go back and go all the way up.
