California Adventure June 26th 2007


I've gone to these Disneyland parks a thousand times and never ran into to kids carnival at CA Adventure. It is so much fun for kids Makenzie's age. We didn't have Makayla with us this day, she was visiting at aunt Cindy's. So, I think we had more time to spend on the little kid things.

Makenzie is very independent. She has to do everything herself. She would not let Daddy do the driving. She could do it herself!





Makenzie Goes to Disneyland almost every month with my mom and Dad. She wore a Minnie Mouse dress every time for a year and the employee's actually started knowing her and calling her their little Minnie. Than she got a sleeping beauty dress. And, today she wanted to dress like Tinkerbell, only this dress isn't the real thin and she loved it. We had it at home and it didn't cost me a penny, these princess can be quite expensive!

Makayla's 4th grade talent show last May

I am still trying to catch up so bare with me when I get some old pics in here!


Las Vegas Baby!





Eating Breakfast at The Hotel. Makenzie looked so grown up to me.












Thursday morning, Makayla rode to Vegas in a stretch Limo with my Aunt and Uncle, Todd and Cindy. They were going to a World leadership group convention and Makayla was going to have fun at the pool. I have never been in a Limo before so I wanted to go too of course!
So, I flew into Vegas Thursday Night after a full day of work and stayed at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay and for 2 days I enjoyed the beach. Mind you this is the thursday 3 days before leaving for Yosemite which requires major packing. I got to ride home in the Limo and I got home late sat night and left for another 8 days just a few hours later. Mind you, Mike did all the packing for Yosemite and let me and the girls go lounge around a pool. What a Man! All that for a Limo ride and some fun in Vegas. It really wore me out!

Yosemite July 2007

July 15th we left for Yosemite with our neighbors , for an 8 day trip. It always feels like were in heaven when we go camping. We tent camp, so we get a little weary of the bears at night. We just make sure Makenzie is real clean from the sticky marshmallows around the campfire, we would want the bears to come and lick her in the middle of the night. As you can tell from the pics, the scenery is beautiful, but as for us our hair is wind blown and there is no such thing as Make-up on these trips and keeping Makenzie clean is about 10 outfit changes per day.

Hike to the top of Lembert Dome with a view of Tuolomne Meadows.





Hike to Soda Springs.

Drinking the spring water, it was disgusting!



this is the Baxter Family, Julie Geo, McKinzie, Jaden, Jace, and Alanah. They are our neighbor's. Makenzie was so happy to have her friends join us.










Yosemite Valley





This is the beautiful Half Dome.



Olmstead Point overlooking Half Dome way back in the distance. This is on the way back to our campground after visiting the valley. The valley is almost 2 hours from Tuolomne Meadows because they lowered the speed limit to prevent cars from hitting the beautiful bears and birds.
