So my awesome sister in law Kim was able to get us tickets to Wicked!! We had such a good time! We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and it was amazing, then came Wicked! My mom and I saw it on Broadway last year when we went to New York, and I was so excited for my girls to go. It was awesome! I am so jealous of those amazing actors and their incredible voices! It was such a fun time, Aunt Stephannie, Grandma Thurza, Kim, Kim's sister in law Lori, and me and my girls are in these pictures. I hope we can do this again soon it was the best!

Wednesday we took Jace to the MTC. It was pretty strange to see him walk through that door and go his way, but I'm very proud of him for the choices that he's made! He's a good kid! I'm sure the people in San Jose will love him!

Disneyland '09

We got back last night from our trip to California. It was fun as always! We didn't want to come home! We really didn't want to be home when we saw the snow! Ah Utah in the spring! We spent 4 days in Disneyland and California Adventure, which I have to say I think our kids like the California Adventure even more than Disneyland now?! I think it's just a little more grown up or something. I am a Disneyland girl though! I love it! I love the way it makes you feel like a kid again and all the sights and smells, and tastes, mmm churros! Anyways, I can't wait to go back next year, and I have to say that the only good thing about your kids getting older is that we could go on all the rides this year. Sydnee is tall enough for everything we wanted to do so that was fun. We also spent a day in Long Beach, we went to the Pacific Rim Aquarium, it was neat but extremely crowded! We spent a day(or half a day) at the beach, it was a nice day like 73 degrees but down by the water the wind was blowing so it got kind of chilly! And I have to give an unpaid advertisement to the Hampton Inn and Suites, if you are going to Anaheim you seriously should look into staying here! They are so friendly and the beds ROCK! Which is the most important part to me! We have to have a suite cuz we have so many kids but it's nice cuz there is a kitchen and it has two seperate rooms so if someone wants to sleep they can and you can watch tv or whatever in the living room area. And it's right on Harbor Blvd so it's close to Disneyland. Anyways, we had a blast, it was so good to see the sun and wear flip flops for a while!

It has been forever since I posted and yesterday I got to take Sydnee to the doctor and the dentist yes all in one day! And I just have to brag about her! First off I have to brag that in 4 kids I have never had to take one of them to a pediatric dentist, they have just always been so good at the regular dentist! And poor Syd had 2 little cavities so I took her to the dentist and of course he was behind and had a few problems with other patients, but Syd sat there for an hour and a half, had her two cavities filled, she even had a numbing shot and never made a peep! I was so proud of her! We then had to go to the doctor cuz her sweet little playmate gave her a bad cough, no fun. And again she just climbs up on the table thing and answers all the questions and acts so big. I'm so lucky! She is just a good kid, our dentist can't believe how good she is either! Anyways, I can't forget about the other 3! Kenna is doing so well in school, she is a 4.0 student and is so good about her school work, she has a big group of darling friends that we have so much fun running around! She is so pretty, and I happen to know a few boys are chasing her but she's still running from them! YAY! McKayla on the other hand totally let's them catch her! ha She is also doing really well in school, she and Kenna are doing the competitive cheer and their squad just qualified for nationals but their coach decided not this year which is fine. They are also starting up softball again, Kayla actually practiced all winter with her team. She is clogging and dancing, and just busy! Colby just got done with Jr Jazz. His team finished with the worst record probably ever but they had fun! He is doing so well in school and is quite a good little reader I must say! He loves scouts and playing with all our neighbor boys! And Syd is still doing dancing even though she does not love going, but she loves pre school which is good since she gets to go another year! And singing- she loves loves singing! Her teacher always has some funny story of something Syd said there, she's quite the story teller, and they are usually embarrassing for me though! She is also really glad it's getting warmer cuz she got to take her new mustang outside and is having a blast giving everyone rides! I'll have to post some pictures soon!

Last night for my birthday Brandt and I met most of my family down in Midvale at Asian Star. It was so fun, we even got brave and tried sushi!! Anyways, thanks Kim and Jake, and Mom, Jace and Josh it seriously was the best!

Finally new family pictures! The last ones we had were when Sydnee was 3 months old so we were over due. This one isn't the best we had a hard time getting Colby to smile like a normal person! But thank you to Josie at Macfarlane Photography! Your awesome!

Fun with the cousins!
