He'll be back again someday!

These are some of my favorite pictures. The kids together building Frosty!

This was the first big snow of the year a few weeks back. I loved just sitting in the window and watching them as they together created in my eyes a masterpiece! They were so cute and the snow just kept on coming. i could not get them to come in they were having so much fun! Ryker even started a snow ball for Ethney so that she could help too.


Look at those flakes!



The proud creator! It was so beautiful that sunday morning. Everything was so white and pure. It was so quiet too. So peaceful!





The finishing touches!

Beauty and the SMILE!

I know that this is side ways, i can not fix it for some odd reason i have tried but try to catch that smile on Ethney's face ast the end.... makes it all worth it!

I will catch up with you next time and the other side of EPCOT! To be continued!

Just can not wait!

Standing in line for breakfast with the princesses!






A few stars we met along the way......


Wow.... never know who you will run into in Italy!




The Princesses!!!!!

Ethney favorite, She sang to Sleeping Beauty.... it was so tender!
Dancing and laughing!

Cinderella asked Ethney if she was getting married today.... she told Ethney that that was what her dress looked like when she got married to her prince. All dressed in white in a big castle. Interesting, everytime we pass a Temple of course Ethney sayt that that is her castle and someday she will marry her prince there too.






Love this picture..... Look at that smile!




Day 2..... Princess breakfast at Epcot!

Ariel! The little mermaid!
I have always loved Cinderella.... not sure the reason but she reminds me of my Mother!


Beauty and The Beast! Tale as Old as Time....


This one is my all time favorite! Ryker wanted nothing to do with these pretty little princesses! As you can see he had quite a time trying real hard not to smile or look at them. It was pretty funny


A little pricy but well worth the fun and excitement that Ethney had in her eyes to meet her little family of princesses!




Day 2... EPCOT!!!!!!

Epcot (my favorite, i think) was amazing... they had 2 worlds, the fun zones with all the learning and such like land and sea and senses and feeling and hearing and all these amazing activies that you can learn and grow....very educational. Ryker even said that it was one of his favorite parks not for the rides though... for the amazing food and knowledge that you can walk away with. This is the New World Center, i always wondered what was in there, now i know.



Norway! A fun water ride and of course the hats!

Crash testing ride, pretty fun, walks you thru how they test new vehicles and the saftey part as well!



THE MAGIC KINGDOM!!!! DAY 1..........


After the long wait, we finally did it! On the 7th of Novemeber we loaded up the kids and headed to the sunny state of Florida and spent 8 days in the nice warm sun, no lines and uncrowded parks to enjoy a little family time. And of course become a kid again ourselves. We had so much fun!
Ethney was such a trooper! She went on everything she could, Splash mountain ended up one of the favorites, not sure if it was the big hill at the end or the whole getting drenched everytime we rode it, but it was worth it just to see how excited they got! Ryker loved it! He wanted to go over and over again on all the big stuff. I was shocked that my little monkeys were so big!

Ride number one, not too wet, but not so lucky the next time around. Not a dry spot on anynoe in our log!



Of course the castle! Ethney was so excited to see where Sleeping beauty lives (her favorite) All she wanted to do was meet her and sing to her "I know you" it made me cry to think of the true magic in all there is around us.


Oh yes, To be a kid again!

BFF's


The Final touch!


Bryan thought that the hat was the final touch that we needed for the photos! Nice! Needless to say that he did not wear them in any of the family shots. He was a little beefed about the shirt he was wearing, he thought it made him look a little farmerish..... i thought he looked great. Anyway, i won the battle, next time though tuxes and gowns!

Who says you can't have fun taking pictures! Thanks Amy, for the great pictures! After months of trying to go and get our pictures taken we finally did it! we found the best spot up weber canyon and had a total blast getting some good shots.
