Disneyland 2009 Pics

Disney Fairy! HELP!

I need people's creative help!! I feel like the White Rabit cause I just don't have the time!

As you know, we are going to Disneyland next week, March 16-21. So I decided to make a tradition for our kids. Instead of spending tons of money on things in the park, each night when we get back to the hotel (we are going to the park 5 days) there will be a wrapped gift on each of their pillows from "The Disney Fairy", or whatever name we come up with. Yes, I said "we" meaning you readers.

THIS IS WHAT I NEED:

I need a cute little saying to go with each gift. It can rhyme or not, I don't care. Just something cute and clever. Not even all the gifts are Disney related. I also need to come up with WHO left the gift. It can be a different character each night or the same person (example: Disney Fairy).

Here are the items (they are in no particular order of what night they will be given):

1.Mickey Mouse hooded towel I made- this is the only one I have pics of.

2. Silly string

3.Disney books

4. Elephant and Lion stuffed animal

5. Donald Duck and Buzz Lightyear cups w/straws

Ok now get your creative juices flowing and leave your sayings and ideas as a comment. PLEASE, I know you are all very creative and I am very short on time!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

A few more crafty crafts

These are a few of my projects recently.

My sis Cedar turned 13 on Feb. 28th and I wanted to give her something cool. So I thought a mirror would be good since most teens LOVE to look at themselves. So I decided to get out some ribbon and some knick knacks and this is what I ended up with:

I have been wanting to make some shadowboxes of the boys for a long time. Thanks to Hobby Lobby and their awesome sales I was finally able to do it. This is each of the boys suits they were blessed in.

They were so tiny!

I'm very baby hungry.

Good Job Rob!

This is a shoutout to Rob and everyone else on his soccer team.

Rob plays on an indoor league on Saturdays. They had the championship game this past weekend and they won....AGAIN!! This is the 2nd CHAMPIONSHIP IN A ROW these guys have won!

Good Job Rob and the rest of The Recruits!

Boys Room

If you know Landen, you know how OBSESSED he is with animals. Especially safari animals. He thinks he's an elephant. I hadn't done anything with the boys room, so I decided to give them a safari -type -theme. It's still a work in progress. But decorating can get REALLY expensive, so I got creative. I knew I wanted their names on the wall somehow, but to buy those "hanging letters" would cost me around $68 or so at $6 a piece. No way. So this is what I came up with, for MUCH cheaper!

I got the frames at Walmart for $1.50-$2.00 a piece, got on the computer and designed a safari background and printed it off, went to HOBBY LOBBY and got the scrapbook paper in zebra and giraffe print for under $1 total for all of it, and bought the matching ribbon on sale for $3 total and Wahla!

This lamp I got at Good Will. It was all white and plain (I should have taken a before pic) but the exact size and style I was looking for. So I used the leftover giraffe print paper and covered the lamp then added some ribbon for the finishing touches. It turned out pretty cute, as long as you dont look to close (lots of flaws!). But at least the boys are proud of their room.

Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary (by the time you read this it will probably be the 25th). Me and Rob got married February 25, 2005, later to be sealed for time and all eternity to our boys and to each other December of 2007.

Quick version of how we met:

I was living at home and taking dance classes at CGCC. A friend of mine (Cami Herbert!) was also living with us and her cousin was getting married in Sedona. Cami and I were totally broke and needed some extra money so we decided to go donate Plasma for the first time, same day as her cousins wedding. Cami, Sage, and I head to the Plasma place and what should have been a little interview of quick questioning and blood testing , turned into a 6 hour long process. They tell you to eat and drink a lot before you donate so we had a big breakfast before we left. But by the time we actually got to the "donating" we had nothing in our system. We get started and all of a sudden I turn totally pale and start to get really light headed and dizzy. So the people in charge run and get me a juice box and some crackers so I don't pass out. Then we finish, get our cash and race home. We were already running way later than we planned and we still had to get home and get ready and drive out to Sedona. Not only that but we had gotten the time of the wedding wrong. So we had already missed the ceremony. We were debating whether we should even go, then last minute headed out the door. We got to Sedona right in the middle of the dinner and felt really stupid walking in when everyone was already seated and eating. Everyone was just finishing up and the DJ started playing, but no one was heading out to the dance floor. Me and Cami decided we were both dancers so we should go get it started and everyone would follow, which they did. Then there were these 2 guys that came and started dancing with me and Cami (Rob and his friend Matt). Rob actually went to dance with Cami and Matt started dancing with me then half way through we switched and danced together the rest of the night (even though I thought for sure he was only like 19, turned out he was 26!). He gave me his number and told me to call when we got home to let him know we were safe. I did, but he didn't answer. But he did call the next day and the rest is history.

Who would have thought I would meet my husband at a wedding! A wedding of someone I didn't even know!

I LOVE YOU ROB!

Well....

Good news and Bad news.

The Bad news is that my headaches are back and now I have to go get a Catscan. I will either be getting it done tomorrow or Monday, depending on when they schedule me. I won't find out till tomorrow morning. It will take pictures of my brain and my sinuses so hopefully we can find out what's going on!

The Good news is that Landen is COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED!!!! YAY!!! He has done such an awesome job! He had a hard time going #2 in the potty at first, but now he has it down pat. He wakes up dry and doesn't even have any accidents any more. After only 2 weeks, he has turned from a baby to a big boy. He has even peed outside for the first time and he loved every second of it! What a boy.
