Monumental Monday Milestones

Sammy has reached that milestone in her life that provides greater freedom, speed, and confidence!

Days of 47 Youth Parade

Our Stake participated in the this year's Days of '47 Youth Parade. Sammy had a great time dressing up in a baptism dress, waving as she walked the parade route, and enjoyed drinking from her water sprayer to stay cool.

Disneyland 2010

Sammy and I had some pretty great bonding time at Disneyland April 18-21. We flew into LAX Sunday morning, rented a car and headed straight to the park where we spent three days in a row riding rides, basking in the Disney magic and having a great time. Sammy was such a trooper opening and closing the park without a single meltdown fit. My Cousin Chaelyn went with us so she could be our Fast Pass Runner. Needless to say the only rides that we waited longer than 30 minutes were Toy Story Mania and Nemo's submarine. Everything else was a walk straight to the front of the line. I don't have a picture of it but my favorite memory was right after our first trip to Space Mountain. Sammy wanted to know how come there was oxygen in that outer space we could breathe while we were on the spaceship ride. These are the only pictures I took except for a few on my cell phone we sent to Daddy to give him the play by play. Because this trip was all about the rides, we only stopped for pictures if there was no wait. Yes we saw Mickey & Minnie in less than eight minutes combined!

Couples Retreat in the Bahamas 2010

Here's a few pictures from the Bahamas Brett and I enjoyed with Jeremy & Cami Young, and Scott & Christies Hardey. It was a great trip with fantastic friends on a beautiful island. Next time though. We'll stick with the Cruise Ship since doling out fists full of cash everytime you want to eat is not as exciting as you might think it would be.
