Wedding Dresses


Tonight at Young Womens we made Modest Wedding Dresses out of toilet paper! We gave them the guidelines that the dress had to go to their ankles, needed sleeves, and it couldn't be too low in the front or the back. Then they were able to design the dress for their friends. Morgan and Carissa were paired up, Alaina, Christina, and Emily were paired up. The girls had so much fun as did Laura and I! The girl's did an awesome job creating dresses. We were getting a little pressed for time so everyone helped dress Alaina and Christina! Then we did some posing for fun! Everyone had trouble at the beginning getting the dress to stay on! But the results were awesome!

Easter


Our Easter started off with a celebration at Riley Jo's school. They sang a couple bunny songs




Went to the dance room to dance! They did the Hokey Pokey!



Of course there was an Easter Egg Hunt!


Then we decorated eggs at our house and had and egg hunt on Easter morning. (Disclosure: Kyle desperately needed a haircut, but refused to get one. He has gotten one now. And Michayla wanted a cheesey picture!)









Disneyland


We took the kids to Disneyland. Rather, I took the kids to Disneyland! Chris, Bobbie (Chris' mom), the kids, and I all drove to Disneyland on Saturday. We left at 6:00 am and thought the kids may sleep a couple hours of that. Nope! They all stayed awake the entire drive. Including Riley Jo. They all stayed pretty entertained by movies and music, except Riley Jo. We had to stop a couple extra times because she needed the "potty." Yeah right! But we stopped anyway. After the 3rd stop in an hour. I finally told Chris that he needed to stop listening to music and making the kids use the headphones for the movie. So that Riley Jo could at least listen to the movie, she doesn't like T.V., or movies and won't leave the headphones on. At least with the sound coming out of the speakers she will at least pretend to watch it. We finally make it to the hotel. Bobbie and I take the kids swimming while Chris rests! On Sunday, Chris and I had to attend a presentation on a time share for Shell Vacation Club, then we were given 2 tickets to Disneyland. By attending that presentation, they also paid for our hotel room. Bonus!!! Then after the meeting, Chris flew home and Bobbie and I took the kids to Disneyland for the next 3 days. That's right, Chris drove us all the way to Disneyland just to attend the presentation so we could take our kids to Disneyland! He won Father of the Year for that trip!!!


We usually have breakfast with Minnie Mouse and friends, but this year we decided to have lunch with the Princesses. Riley Jo was in Heaven! We were able to see Ariel, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, and Jasmine. Tyler even volunteered to be in all the pictures! It was a great lunch. Cinderella and Belle were Riley Jo's favorites!
