A Quick Update

Ok, so here's the thing... I SUCK at updating our blog. Honestly, I need to hand all responsibility for it over to Gordon. It's like a journal. I was never able to keep one of those either. I can't believe it's been 5 months since I last posted.

In June we went to Disneyland with the Meier family. The girls had so much fun. Miranda keeps asking to go back. We told her she had to learn to go potty in the toilet first. Little did we know that motivation like that really works. She got her "big girl underwear" almost two weeks ago and hasn't had an accident since. Oops! How do I explain to a three year old that we still have to wait 3 more months for Daddy to get enough vacation time??

Our first day at Disneyland was kinda rough. Our girls don't usually get out of bed until 9 or 10. We had them up by 7 (6 Mountain time) so we could get there before the crowds and go home for a nap later. Miranda had a meltdown while waiting in line for Buzz Lightyear. She needed that nap!


Of course, that all changed once she got inside. She LOVED Buzz! This is BY FAR her favorite ride. She always talks about "Big Buzz" and how she is going back to see him. We probably rode this ride 20 times that week.


Here we are saying, "Hi!" to Sully. Claire did not trust the Disney characters. She kept a wary eye on all of them.


On the way home we stopped by the beach. We couldn't get too dirty because we had to drive 5 hours to Vegas before we could shower. HAHA Have you ever heard of NOT getting dirty at the beach? Oh well, it was fun anyway. Claire was not happy with Papa for getting her that close to the water, but Miranda loved it.


This is one of my favorite things that happens when Daddy comes home. The kids attack him before he can even get in the door. They're sitting in the mudroom because Daddy couldn't get any further.


And here are the girls and me playing with camera instead of cleaning. Miranda loves to say, "cheese". Claire, on the other had, is impossible to pin down long enough to get pictures.
