Our Walt Disney 2010 Summer Vacation!!

This year for our family vacation we went to Disney. We stayed right next to Magic Kingdom. It was a military resort so the deal was AWESOME!! They have a Breakfast and dinner buffet every day. The bus came every 30 mins. and would take you to all the different places on Disney property.The first day we went to the Air and Space museum and the first night was build your own cookie night, the girls had fun doing that. The next day we went to Magic Kingdom, it was sooo hot but we discovered fast past and had a great time seeing and riding all the rides. The second day we went to Blizzard beach, it was my favorite. They have slides for all ages, I didn't get pictures because I was so busy having fun that I forgot. We could have stayed longer. The third day we went to Animal Kingdom. We went on the Safari where you see wild animals up close. It was definitely a jungle experience. B- also went on the rollercoaster ride with her dad, it scared her so much she said she never wants to go again! Then on our fourth day we went back to Magic Kingdom so we could see the parade and fireworks. Our last day we swam and feed the fish and hung out at the resort. It was such a great vacation!!

Our Summer Fun, VA-Beach,Swimming Lessons, and Cheer Camp

Another thing we did this summer is go to Cape Henry Inn at Va-Beach. My sister and her family were able to come with us this year. The kids had such a great time, even if it rained a little here and there. Of course we couldn't leave without going up the lighthouse. L- we for the first time. It was a little scary but she did it. We also did a lots of swimming at the pool

and the kids couldn't get enough of the ocean even if it was cold!

The girls also had swimming lessons this summer just like they do every summer. They have both improved alot. B- is in level 5 now, she swims very well. She is working on diving off the diving board! L- is in level 2 again she is catching on but is still too nervous to try the deep end.

This was the first time the girls did cheer camp and of course they loved it. They learned lots of cool cheers they are still yelling around the house. They separate them according to age so L- was in the younger group and B- in the older. They had friends doing it with them so that added to the fun as well. I also really like their shirts this year.

About Us

K- and I met in Colorado in 1997 while I was serving a full time mission for my church. My companion and I were out tracting and we knocked on K's- door just has he was pulling up in the driveway. He thought we were the girl scouts bring him his cookies,(haha) he had ordered the month before. Once he saw who we were he let us in and we taught him the 1st discussion, and came back every week until he was baptised.

I returned home a few months later and we kept in contact. K- was very persistent and patient with me, but he finally asked me to marry him after 1 1/2 at home. We were married in 1999 in the Seattle, Bellevue Temple on April 9th. We have been married 11 years now and have lived in many places; Colorado,Conneticut,Washington, Colorado(again), and Virginia.

We currently live in Virginia. K- works for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District and has for the last 6 years first as a contractor then term and now perminent. He also is an E-8 in the U.S. Army reserves. He has served and worked in Iraq several times. He travels to different places on occasion, in and out of the country. He works very hard for his family and we appreciate all he does for us.

G- is a at home mom, she teaches Jazzercise at a local gym, she has been teaching for 5 years and loves it! She also teaches the youth at our church, will be subbing at the local schools and has been accepted into the Bachelors program online in the fall.

We have 2 daughters 10 yrs and the other 6 yrs they are full of lots of positive energy, they love ballet,swimming,biking, playing, and their American Girls.

B- is in fourth grade this year, she does very well. She is a very easy going child, gets along with most anyone, is very helpful at home and is a great babysitter. She loves to listen to music, dance, and is very good at it.

L- is very spunky first grader, always laughing and giggling and having fun, but also very sensitive, her drama will make her rich someday.

We also have a dog named Little Ann, she barks at everything, has more attitude then all us girls put together, and loves K- more then us. But we love her still the same, I guess;)
