Sunday Afternoon

Love how Elizabeth takes Scarlett on Sunday afternoon rides.

Jerusalem Dinner

My favorite Easter traditions is our family Jerusalem Dinner! We look forward to it every year!

Happy Easter

The girls woke up to an exciting little Easter egg hunt and some beautiful dresses. It made for a very happy morning.

This year I have talked a lot to Elizabeth about why we celebrate Easter. It's so fun to watch her process and think about it and answer her questions. I remind all of you as we celebrate Easter with our family and friends, let us not forget to REMEMBER our Savior for He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. Happy Easter Everyone!

Neighborhood Easter Hunt

I have the best visiting teacher, and she has the sweetest kids whom Elizabeth adores. My cute visiting teacher had a small gathering of kids and had a hunt in her back yard. It was fun to visit with some of our favorite people in the ward, and let Elizabeth play with her friends. Thanks again Tammy, we had a blast!

The Coloring of Eggs

My parents have a tradition of coloring Easter eggs with all the grandchildren and then have an Easter egg hunt. The Turners were out of town, so it was just us and the Taintors. The kids love coloring the eggs, and always have a good time.

It was fun to watch Scarlett this year walking around and picking up the eggs during the hunt. She caught on very quickly.

Later in the afternoon, we went and visited Ryan's dad, Papa Rod. Elizabeth looks forward to going over thee is see her grandpa and to see her old dog Poncho. Papa Rod spoiled her and Scarlett with gifts and Elizabeth was in heaven playing with the dogs.

Happy Birthday Lily

My darling friend Amity's daughter Lily and Elizabeth are the sweetest friends! We had them over to celebrate Lily's 4th birthday! I feel so lucky that we have friends like them and we truly love Amity and Lily so much! Happy Birthday Lily!

Elizabeth & Bubba

Elizabeth loves having her friends over, especially when we do crafts. We were lucky enough to have Bubba and his little brother over to play and we made our own little windup toys. They had a lot of fun together, Elizabeth always looks forward to when they get to come over.

Preschool Bowling

Elizabeth's field trip for March was bowling. Ryan and I thought it was crazy that we have never taken her bowling before. She had so much fun, and she was actually pretty darn good. I can't wait to take her again soon!

Universal Studios

There is defiantly a different atmosphere between Disneyland and Universal Studios...let's just say I missed Disneyland. However, I don't know if it was the weather, but Universal Studios was not that busy, so that was a blessing. We still had a lot of fun, and I think Ryan's favorite things was the back lot tour. The 3D King Kong was super awesome! I would have to say mine was the Water World show! Love that show every time!

Can I just say that our little Elizabeth is Super Awesome! She was seriously so brave! One of my favorite rides is the Jurassic Park ride, but at the end of the ride there is a 85 feet high near-vertical drop. Which of course scares me, so I thought no way would Elizabeth go on it! She was barely tall enough, but she really wanted to go on it, so we took her on it and she had so much fun. She got a little nervous and said her tummy had butterflies in it, but that she loved it! What a brave little girl!

After a long day at the park, we thought it would be fun to go eat at Pink's Hot Dogs. If you haven't heard of Pink's its famous! Pink's Hot Dogs is a landmark hot dog restaurant in Hollywood. It was crazy busy even late in the evening, but it was worth the wait in line! Unfortunately we didn't see any movie stars waiting in line with us.

Disneyland

Have I mentioned that I LOVE Disneyland! I love everything about it. I love that it's magical, I love that I can be a kid, I love that everyone is happy, I love the characters, I love the rides, I love that I can leave my stroller and not worry something will get taken, I love laughter and smiles, I love the gift shops, I love watching people. I just love the atmosphere of Disneyland and I will miss it and will look forward to our next vacation here!

I have to post my favorite picture of the day!

We got an awesome farewell with Tinkerbell waving goodbye to all of us!

Disneyland

I have decided that you can't come to Disneyland without experiencing the incredible character dinning! We have always done the breakfasts because we love breakfast food, but I'm sure any of meals are fantastic! This year we decided to do a Princess Theme breakfast at Ariel's Grotto. Elizabeth was in Heaven! She couldn't even eat she was to excited to see the next princess come out! It was so worth it to watch her giggle and get her autograph book all ready. She seriously couldn't stop smiling, it was the cutest thing!

The rest of the day was of course filled with magic! The evening parade was great! Elizabeth was so excited when Pluto came up to her during the parade to get a high five.

We are horrible parents, because for some crazy reason Elizabeth has never had cotton candy! She has found a new love!

Disneyland

Oh how I love the magic of Disneyland! I love walking in and reading the sign: Here You Leave Today, and Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy! That is exactly what we plan to do the next three days!! I think our favorite ride of the day was Finding Nemo...what a cool ride! We also learned that Elizabeth loves roller coasters! She was like begging to go on California Screamer but she was to short. She said her favorite ride of the day was either Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain. All this time we thought she was shy, we really she is quite Brave!
