We've Been Tagged

The rules of the game should be posted at the beginning of the post. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. Ok. Ryan didn't know what to say, so I am going to give it a shot.
I vowed I would never marry anyone my parents liked. I did. I also said the same thing about cowboys, and I married both. Pretty scary. We've been
married now for 6 years.

2. I have no education other than High School. I had dreams of going to college, but mother nature had other plans for me. I don't regret it.

3. I love working with kids, especially those who struggle. I love to see the difference I can make in their lives even if it's as little as reading a book on their own. I would love to be a teacher some day. I guess in a way I already am.

4. Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday, next to Christmas. I already have my christmas village up, and have some decorations waiting to be put up as soon as I get the green light from Ryan (which is after Thanksgiving) and I waste no time doing it. I love the spirit the holiday season brings. I am sad I am not cooking for the families here, but they've moved on, (you know who you are :) ) But am looking forward to helping my mother in law with dinner this year, and visiting with the family. Also catching the day after Thanksgiving bargains. WOOHOO!

5. I have 2 church callings, I am still teaching the 5 year olds, and I am on the enrichment committee. I like them both a lot. I will be released from the Primary the end of this year. I'm kinda sad about that. We also have been blessed with a wonderful bishop. He has been the best thing for us, especially Ryan. Branson's baptism was the most emotional and spritual baptisms that I have ever been to, and that's not just because he's my son. It was that way because we were blessed with Ryan being able to do it. That in it's self was the most amazing thing. The spirit was definetly there with us that day.

6. Last but definetly not least: I have a rock hard shell, but am soft inside. I want to do everything for everyone, I want to help the poor, feed the hungry, heal the sick. I can't. I cry over things as petty as a soldier walking by, accomplishments my kids make, doing good deeds for others as simple as bringing in their trash can. Yep, I'm pretty sappy.

I am now tagging Kenneth, Amanda, Mariah

Branson's Baptism


This day was like a roller coaster for all of us and it was a big day for Branson. He did such a great job and he was very happy for all that could make it. He had his mother give a talk on baptism, and she did a great job, Grandpa (McArthur) got to give a talk on the Holy Ghost, and he did a great job also.

Ashleigh


This was fun. There was a place where you could walk into and see some of the animations. In this room were floor to ceiling murals. Ashleigh wanted her picture taken by this one.

Minnie Mouse!


Minnie gave the kids kisses. She was so cute!

Safari Mickey


It was fun to get to see Mickey Mouse twice. This time the line wasn't as long.

Stitch!


We didn't see Lelo, but we hurried up to have a picture taken with Stitch. It was fun.

This is in Brother Bear park.




This is probably one of the best additions to the park. It's themed around Brother Bear. It's like a park, but the kids get to do a lot of fun things, and it's shady. We saw Brother Bear and another Bear while we were in there, but Branson was too shy to have his picture taken with them.

Very Funny Guys!

I got DRENCHED on the river raft ride. The funny thing is that the people sitting across from us on this had full rain gear on. They didn't get a single drop of water. Just me. Ryan and Ashleigh was laughing hysterically.

This was taken in the "A" in CALIFORNIA Adventure Park.


This was day 2 of our Disney adventure. We waited in line for the California Adventure park to open. There were a lot of people. This is one way we passed the time away.

The "Goof" Ball!


Branson insisted on having this hat. He still wears it faithfully. It suits him.


This was the only good thing about standing in line for an hour. We had to weave through Minnie Mouse's house, and then through Mickey's. We got to have our picture taken with him at the end of the tour. The line was an hour long wait. It was fun though, and worth it.

They called Ashleigh "pirate girl".

Inside Minnie Mouse's House



Wow! That bed is hard.
Ashleigh is on Minnie's couch.
This is a fun thing to do in Disneyland. The only thing that stunk is the line.

Chip & Dale's House in ToonTown



Branson & Ryan climbed up in it, and Ashleigh stopped to take a drink.

The Magic Kingdom

Day one of our Disney Adventure.

KA-CHOW!!!!!!!! Branson & Ryan with lighting Mcqueen



For the cars fan in all of you me and mater
