there are many more where these came from...

disneyland

We had a great time in California this year. The girls were adorable at Disneyland and thought everything was magical. The princesses were the high point, of course. Both girls loved the rides and Dylan was stoked that she was 40 inches and could ride mostly everything. The new Cars Land was wonderful, they did such a great job making it look just like Radiator Springs. We spent a day in Laguna as well and Dylan was loving the waves and sand.

Until next year...

 

 

This last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch...

im on a roll.

 

camping, school and dance is what we have been up to. disneyland is next on our list.

 

 

blogging takes too long

I'm not going to try and hide it, I'm addicted to Instagram. It's really fast and easy. If my intentions were not to make a blog book one day than I would probably just completely bag blogging. I have spent many of hours updated in the past so why let it go to waste right?

We have been busy as always and traveling around like fools. Matt and I had the opportunity to go to Cabo in July for our 7 year anni and we have been back and forth from Logan since then. Matt has a huge job up there so we try to travel up as much as we can. Dylan and Simone are growing like crazy and they are such a joy to have around lately. Seriously, Dylan is the best helper and loves to assist me in any chores around the house. In August the girls started preschool, BOTH OF THEM! I can hardly believe it myself. Simone loves her school and is so happy to be there. Dylan is getting a little bored with preschool but is excited to start reading this year before kindergarten. Both girls start their dance class today. They are so stoked to be in combo (jazz, tap, ballet) and cant wait to be up on stage in their fancy costumes and makeup. Simone reminds me everyday that she wants flowers after she is on stage.

I'm sure I am missing many happenings but I will put up pictures to explain the rest...

We love the new City Creek in Salt Lake City...

 Oh and let me leave you with the bad news... Viewer discretion is advised.

I had a mole removed that was diagnosed as Melanoma. Scary right? Luckily they got it all and we caught it early. I am healing well but it was not fun! WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN!
