Say Bye to the Long Hair











That's right, I finally cut it ALL off! I got tired of the long hair and decided to go against my husbands wishes and cut it. I went to the salon and took Riley Jo with me. I then met Chris and the kids at Tyler's baseball game. Chris didn't recognize me at first because he has never seen my hair this short. In fact, my hair hasn't been this short since High School. It took him a couple hours but since the parents at the ball game approved, I think it was easier for Chris to like it. I may never go back to the long hair! It takes me longer to do my hair now because I actually style it, but it's a lot cuter now.

Disneyland


We took our kids to Disneyland in April. We had a blast. I was a little nervous about the drive down since Riley Jo is potty trained now. But she did amazing. We stopped twice each direction. That was for our older children as well though. We got down there on Saturday afternoon and went to Disneyland. We walked through the gates just as the Parade of Dreams was ending so we were able to watch. Riley Jo seemed to like it the most since all the Princesses were there. I thought that was a great way to start our trip. We then decided to start in Fantasy Land and went on the Snow White ride. Riley Jo didn't like it too much. Then the kids wanted to go on Pinocchio so Chris took the older kids on that and Riley Jo and I went to stand in line for King Arthur's Carousel. She didn't like that ride either. In fact she wasn't thrilled over any rides except for Buzz Lightyear so she could shoot the gun. The kids all had a great time and the lines weren't bad. We also went on the new Nemo Submarine ride and everyone liked that. Kyle even rode Hollywood Tower of Terror twice and says he will ride it again. Michayla and Kyle both rode Space Mountain and loved it! Kyle's first time on Space Mountain he had his hands up the entire time! Tyler, Michayla and I stayed every night until close and Chris took the two younger kids back to the hotel. We were able to see Fantasmic and ride extra rides since there wasn't a line. It was so nice to get away and have some family time together.
