The Land of Disney!



Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!


  Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!





   We were lucky enough to have one day in Disneyland with Adams parents and have them be a part of Rachel and Carters first experience in the park. I never thought the highlight of my trip to Disneyland wouldn't be the rides, but would be meeting the characters! From Aurora to Cinderella or Mater to Tinkerbell, we had an awesome trip!


 I couldn't believe how much Rachel lite up when she saw and got to talk to the princesses, she would run to meet each of them and they were all so amazing with her.It took a bit of work to get her two favorite princesses Belle and Ariel, but with three days in the park we were up to the challenge. Carter felt the need to share his food with almost every one of them, and often is doing so in the pictures.




Carters favorite parts were seeing all of the mickey mouses on people shirts and hats and would get so excited each time he saw one. He also loved the Buzz Lightyear ride and was adorable to watch in the Tiki Room, especially with his love for birds he just stared and kept saying "Woah!"



Cars Land was quite a treat! They did an amazing job at making it look just like Radiator Springs. Carter has been absolutely obsessed with Mater and Lightning McQueen, and we were looking forward to how Carter would react when he saw them life size! Turns out, he likes the toy size version a lot better!


   He also loved the day we went to the beach and fed one seagull a Cheeto, which lead to a whole flock swarming around us until every crumb was gone from the bag. He never really made it to the water, but would run away everytime it got close to him and he just kept saying he wanted more birds. Rachel on the other hand was a total fish, and loved jumping over and into the waves with Adam.

   Wahoo! I finally have a hobby I enjoy that I can do easily, no matter the season, at home! I used to love to design dresses on cartoon figures when I was a teenager, but it never amounted to more than paper and pencil because the sewing machine intimidated me too much. For Christmas this year however, I got a sewing machine (white and lime green -my favorite color!) and I have been having some fun putting some ideas into practice. I haven't made anything super fancy or unique yet, but I am definitely just a beginner so I'll have to give it some time! Good grief, zippers are going to take me some time to figure out! It looked terrible on the pink dress, so I decided that the detachable flower should go right there and only you and I will ever know! Besides that, I think even my primitive dresses turned out pretty well, it helps when you have a really cute daughter to model the dresses you make and inspire the excitement to create! Isn't she adorable!

A few new cakes

Still very amateur, but this is a phone book cake I made for my brother to ask a girl to a dance. He left clues in the book as to which page to turn to to decode both his first and last name. Cute, but I had no idea how hard it would be to frost a smooth layer of frosting over a saran wrapped book!  Here is my version of a Tinkerbell waterfall cake I made for my niece. I even wrapped the waterfall around to the back and had Vidia there too. To make the water look a little shinny I added some blue food coloring to some light corn syrup and spread it all over the water. I was pretty hay with how it turned out, especially since I am making this up as I go!  For my nephews birthday, all he said he wanted was a cake that had toys on it. I finally got a little more from him when he said he would like a Cars cake with Mater coming out of the cake, so here it is!

Corn Maze Mayhem

For four years now fall has come and gone each year with my husband and I saying that this will be the year we finally make it to a corn maze together.   It might sound kind of silly that we wanted to go to a corn maze that badly, but really it has become a joke to us more than anything. This year however, we finally made it, but it was a lot more than we bargained for… We went to the maze soon after they opened in early September (we knew if we didn’t go soon, it would probably be another four years). We got there a little after 6:30 figuring that would give us over an hour of light which should be plenty of time because when you try to get lost at a corn maze it undoubtedly takes you 20 minutes and then you try to backtrack and get lost for real so you can enjoy the corn maze a little longer. So, there we were, strollers in hand ready to cross off one of our life goals together –plus two additions- and have some fun doing it. We were feeling pretty good at first that we knew rig
