Fun Surprise at Disneyland

So, today Jared and I went to Disneyland with his family. We spent our time with Jared's family at California Adventures. Jared, Chloe, Kelsea, Jake and Daddy Rummler thought it would be fun to run through those water parts in the Bugs Land. Chloe was soaked!!! Later that evening when his family left we met up with my family. We had dinner at the Pizza Port and went on a couple rides. My mom hadn't been on the Small World since they reopened it, so of course we went on that ride. Jared is such a good sport with going on the little kid rides with me. Anyways, so after we went on It's a Small World, we decided to go on Pirates... well unfortunately it was closed for some reason so we went on the Haunted Mansion instead. While we were in one of the rooms getting ready to go on the ride I saw Shawn Johnson from Dancing with the Stars!!!I was sad that Mark wasn't with her... that would have been amazing!!!!I pointed her out to Jared and he told me that I should go up to talk to her. I honestly didn't want to bother her because I am sure she just wanted to have a normal day and have fun at Disneyland, however, Jared decided to go up to her. He talked to her for a minute and told her that I loved watching Dancing with the Stars that she she is my favorite dancer. (Which is true). Anyways, I thought it was cool that we saw her in person. She is so tiny!!! Honestly if I was to stand next to her should would come up a little past my shoulders and I am only 5'3!!! We had such a fun day at Disneyland with our families. We feel so blessed that we are able to go to Disneyland whenever we want and are able to live close enough to family to see them often.

A Fun Read

So, my mom has been wanting me to read these books by Traci Hunter Abramson. I finally sat down the other day, and it never put the book down. In two days I read two of her books and I am looking forward to going to Deseret Book to purchase the third. Traci, used to be a CIA agent and then left to become a full time mother. She decided to write her stories that centered around the CIA and other Government organizations. If you like books that are like that, with a romantic twist, you will LOVE her books!

"When CIA agent Janessa Rogers meets the royal family of Meridia on assignment, she expects to use her skills in linguistics and security detail to protect and serve, but she doesn't expect to find herself engaged to Prince Garrett Fortier, Meridia's most eligible bachelor, as part of the security plan. And she certainly doesn't expect to fall in love with him."

"Brent Miller and his four Navy Seal Teammates work together to rescue 7 hostages in the Middle East. Then, by accident, he and Amy Whitmore, a LDS senator's daughter are left behind and need to depend on each other to find a way out."

Beach Day

I love Saturdays! This morning we helped move my great grandma into my other grandparents house. It was hard getting up early to do that, but thankfully we got done quickly. Since we got done early in the day, Jared and I decided to take advantage of this beautiful weather we have been having here in Souther California. We took a trip down to Huntington Beach where I layed out and read my book, while Jared went skimboarding. There was some people taping stuff for a new VH1 show and they taped Jared a little bit while he was skimboarding. He is pretty stoked about that! Jared's parents met up with us later and we spent time with them. Of course we couldnt leave Huntington without eating a burger from the best burger place... TK Burger. Mmmm.... it was so good.

We feel so grateful to live in Southern California, where we can go to the beach whenever we want. Hopefully this summer we can go to the beach a lot... we are hoping to plan a bon fire after school gets out!!

Playing Hookie

So, Jared and I had our Spring Break last week and decided that we wanted to take a day off of work. The weather was really nice so we drove down to Balboa and rented beach cruisers. It was so much fun!! We rode almost to Huntington! Now we want to buy bikes so we can do this more often. After the bike ride we had lunch at Rubys on the Balboa Pier then went back home and watched Marley & Me. I thought that was a really cute movie, but a very sad ending. Now, we are trying to figure out when we are going to take another day off of work to just go play at the beach.

Happy 9th Birthday Chloe!

My little sister turned 9 years old on Monday, March 30. I can't believe that she is already 9 and in 3rd grade. For her birthday we went to Disneyland as a family and had dinner at Ariel's Grotto. The food was so good, but it was so expensive. Chloe brought her best friend Brittney with her and the girls had a lot of fun. At dinner all the Disney princesses were walking around taking pictures and signing autographs for all the kids. Chloe and Brittney took pictures with Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Belle, and so did I. The next day my mom and I took Chloe shopping for her birthday. She got a lot of fun, cute clothes. I love shopping with Chloe because she is like my Barbie doll. I love you Goober!

Fun Find

My dad's cousins works for this company that sells purses. The company is called Miche Bag. If you haven't heard of it... you purchase one purse and then different covers to go with different outfits. They have about 40 different covers for the purses. I have so many purses in my closet and this is a way to cut down on the many purses. Here are some pictures of the different purse covers. If you are interested the link is on the side bar of my blog.

A New Favorite

Jared and I have experienced the best frozen yogurt ever!!!! Last night we experienced Pinkberry for the first time. It was absolutely amazing! We both loved it. We shared a plain yogurt and pomegranate yogurt swirl with raspberries. Everything was so fresh and wonderful. We are definitely going back for more. So if you haven't had Pinkberry... YOU MUST GO!!!!
