Valentines, Disneyland, and Wizard.....Oh My!!!

I'm gonna do a quick update of the last couple of months so I can post about our wonderful trip to Spain. I like to keep things in chronological order (OCD). So here is what we have been doing since my last post.....

Mackenzie and I took a quick weekend trip to Idaho in January to visit our BEST FRIENDS. She has known these girls since she was 18 months old. They are all getting TOO BIG!!!

JP and I took a day trip to Long Beach for Valentines Day. We golfed, ate good food and sat on the beach taking in the sun. It was perfect.

Mackenzie had her 6th grade Valentines Dance at school. I surprised her and showed up with my camera. She was SOOOO mad!!! Probably embarrassed cuz I headed out on the dance floor to take pictures. HAHAHA!! Kelsey and Kayley however loved having me at their party.

Two of my sisters came to visit Utah in February with their CUTE kids. We had a fun snow weekend up at our parents house in Providence. I love seeing all the cousins together. AND, I LOVE all their adorable kids.

Our Annual passes to Disneyland expire in April this year so we had to take one last trip. We are getting so good at doing it cheap. Any better and it would be practically free.....don't I wish!!

Mackenzie was the star of the school play, the Wizard of Oz, and the twins were perfect Munchkins. It was a lot of work and preparation on their part and they did AWESOME!! So fun to see my kids develop their talents.

WOW...that was a BIG update. Next up will be our Spain trip!!!!! Coming Soon.....

14 Years!!!

JP and I took a little trip to LA and San Francisco for our 14th Anniversary. It was great to be alone, together for a couple of days. Of course, we planned our trip around food, family and sleep!!! We also went to a live taping of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in Hollywood. HILARIOUS! We weren't allowed to take our phones or cameras in so we don't have any pictures...but, you can sure hear us laughing in the audience. That was a fun experience and we can't wait to do it again. And, of course, we had to make a little stop at Disneyland. Just for a couple of hours. Boy was that weird going on the rides without the kids. Thanks to our dear friends, Carla and Trevor, and my mom for babysitting the kids. They were spoiled rotten. I don't think they wanted us to come home. Enjoy the pictures and all our self portraits!


Schooner or Later in Long Beach for Breakfast
(as seen on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives)







We stayed with Cara and Jeff and their cute kids in the Bay Area. AND, we got to do a date night with Laura and Mike at Fentons Creamery!!





We got to cruise the Bay Area freeways in this bad boy. I swear it felt like the BatMobile!!

Of course we spent a day in San Francisco.....that is where we spent part of our honeymoon 14 years ago!



Can't believe it has already been 14 years together. AND, I can't believe that JP has stuck with me this long. I love ya CHIEF!!!
