M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

You have not experienced Disneyland until you have gone with Grandpa John! A three year old? No problem. Hold 'em tight on Space Mountain. And that's exactly what we did. By the way, the 40" height rule can be bent if you are 38 1/2".

We spent fall break in Disneyland with Grandma and Grandpa and had a blast.  It was Payton's first trip on an airplane and she loved it!

The first day we arrived it was a little bit rainy.  On the Disney website it said, "If it rains while you are in Disneyland, consider yourself lucky."  We loved our rainy day.  There was nobody there and it doesn't really rain in California.  It's more of a mist.

Occasionally Grandpa let us go on some of the little kid rides.  Grandma and Payton are now officially space rangers.

Grandma and I just about got kicked off of Main Street USA for running, but Payton was FIRST in line to meet the princesses.  If you want a heads up on how to make this happen, let me know. We were successful!

The boys loved California Adventures.  We "Soared over California" several times.

No trip to Disneyland is complete without the family picture with Mickey.

So much to blog about.....so little blogging!

Okay, so obviously school started. My goal was to update our blog as soon as I got caught up at work. Well guess what? I'm still not caught up but I thought I'd update anyway. Fall has been crazy at our house as usual. Although it is my favorite season, it also seems to be the busiest. We love football and have spent many hours at games this year. Corbin played on both the JV and the Varsity teams this year, Bryce coached an 8th grade team, and we had season tickets for BYU. One week I physically attended SIX different games. That doesn't include our beloved Cowboys that we watch on tv. That's a lot of football for one mom. In addition to standing on sidelines, here are some other things we have been doing:

The 4th of July was spent in Idaho with the cousins. We also took the kids to the Tauphus Park Zoo one day.

Corbin sitting on a chicken....not sure why!

Bryce, realizing he is getting old!

Bryce and I celebrated our 5th anniversary in St. George. We went to the Tuachan Theater and saw Annie. I loved it, he survived it.

Before school started, mom and Payton fit in a few more goofing around days.


The annual tradition for Labor Day? Onion Days of course. You can't be a resident of Payson and not attend Onion Days.

Grandma Deana has even gotten in on the Onion Days tradition for the last three years!

Cameron John got his Aarow of Light award. Way to go buddy!

Fall came and with it the yummy food, colors and activities. We always take the kids to the pumpkin patch in Santaquin.

Dad and his girls!

The boys had their pumpkins picked out pretty quickly.

Payton, however...not so fast. So many pumpkins...so little time!

Her biggest challenge was choosing a pumpkin she could carry.

Finally, the perfect pumpkin!

The thing I'm most excited about this fall: Payton started DANCE LESSSONS!!!!!

And Bryce's biggest event: His team went 13-0 for an undefeated season! Go Cowboys!

(Is there any other name for a football team?)
