DISNEYLAND . . .
This summer we took Zach, Lauren and Elizabeth to Disneyland for three days. On the way there we stopped in Vegas and stayed at the Bass Pro Shops casino and hotel called the Silverton. After that we headed to L.A. to stay in Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for 3 nights. This was there first time to Disneyland and they loved it!
Lunch at Pirates of the Carribbean.

Lauren's Baptism
Lauren was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on July 2, 2011. Lauren, we're so proud of you for making this choice and hope you'll continue to make good choices for the rest of your life. We love you!
I'd love it if anyone who views our blog would like to make a sweet comment to Lauren in this blog posts comment section. That way when we print our blog off into book form she'll have those comments to see for the rest of her life. Thanks!Friday, August 5, 2011
JULY 2011
We took Haylee, Zach and Lauren to Vegas for a weekend to see the Rush concert. I'm not such a big fan but Chris and the kids definitely are. We stayed at a really nice and NEW place on the very south end of The Strip called South Point.
Elizabeth stayed with Grandma Maddy for the weekend and was totally fine with it. She had SUCH a good time!
That night we went to the Rush concert.
Before the concert we had to eat dinner, of course.
At the concert! The kids absolutely LOVED it. Three hours was too long, though. I think 2 hours would have been perfect. Both the kids and I were ready to go home. Plus it started pretty late in the evening so we were all up way past our bedtimes.
Saturday was spend doing a lot of sight-seeing. I think we spent most of our time in the arcade at New York New York. Haylee was bummed because she wasn't tall enough for their roller coaster. She was seriously only an INCH too short! The kids loved the virtual roller coaster, though! So it all worked out.

Painting the Kitchen
Last year our master bathroom bathtub leaked and we had to tear the kitchen ceiling down because of it. But....that meant we got a new ceiling, and better yet, new lights! But it also meant we had to repaint the kitchen. Ugh. It sat unfished for months. I usually like to paint, but painting the kitchen with all the edges and stuff just seemed so daunting. I finally got Chris to agree to help me with it. This may be the only time I see him with a paint brush in his hand!
Here's the semi-finished product. I really like the color, the pictures don't do it justice. Now for new cabinets and countertops! =)
Princess Elizabeth
The last couple of years I've signed the girls up for the Lehi Princess Party. Lauren was too old this year so Elizabeth went alone. She didn't seem to mind. They have lots of fun princess activities there and lots of pretty older girls dressed as Disney Princesses. Elizabeth loved it! I'm not sure where she got her cheesey smile for the day, but she was doing the same thing at the party. Silly girl!
