Disneyland & Calico Ghost Town : November 19-20, 2012

We went to Disneyland with Jinnefer and the kids, and Jason and Sarah. We all had so much fun being together and riding all the rides. The kids loved watching the parade and seeing all the characters. It was a wonderful trip and the kids are all excited to go again. The first two pictures are of us in line waiting for the Bug's Life show to start. The kids were scared in the interactive show. 

Waiting in line for the bumper cars in the Bug's Life area. Our day got off to a slow start because we tried to do Car's Land first and it was too crowded.

Waiting for the Pixar Parade to start.

What a super duper Cooper!!!

Alicia & Parker on Casey Junior.

Some of the following pictures are of us in Calico Ghost town. The kids thought it was pretty neat also. We rode an old train, panned for gold, and went in an old creaky mysterious shack. Some are still of our wonderful time at Disneyland.

Thanksgiving Break 2012

 We took a trip to CA for the Thanksgiving Break. We stayed at Jinnefer and Derricks house and the kids had a great time playing together. Our first stop took place on Sunday which was the Aquarium of the Pacific Ocean. Then we took the kids to Long Beach and they loved rolling around in the sand.

Halloween 2012

Parker dressed up as a Storm Trooper, Cooper was Spiderman, Scotlyn was a Vampire Parrot, and I think mom was a zombie football player. We had a great time trunk or treating at the school, going to Boo at the Zoo, and trick or treating around the neighborhood. 

 Carving pumpkins is always so much fun. Especially when you have lots of seeds to roast.

August & September 2012

 Scotlyn Arline turned 9 on August 27. She had a Justin Bieber birthday party at Leo's Place and had lots of friends attend. Her nana made her a peach cobbler for her birtday dinner dessert.  Her birthday meal was chicken melanasas with garlic cheese rice which is her favorite!!!!

 

 First day of school 2012: Scotlyn is in 4th grade and her teacher is Mrs. Mikkelson, Parker is in Preschool and his teacher is Ms. Joanie, Cooper is Preschool and his teacher is Ms. Barbara. They all attend Snake River Montessori School.

 

 We took a trip to Seattle with Matt one weekend.

 Grandma Ramsey came out from Iowa with Bonnie & Steve and stayed for about 3 days. Grandma and Grandpa Mikkelson were also able to come up from Souther Utah for the visit.

Jackson, WY - August 7, 2012

 My mom and I took the kids to Jackson for the day and we rode the Alpine Sled at Snow King. You had to ride a chair lift to the top of the mountain where the sleds were waiting.  Scotlyn got to go down 3 times and the boys two. They all loved it so much that they wanted to spend the whole day there. We went into town and had lunch then made hour and a half trip back home.
