Confessions....and more

My friend Linsey told me about this lady, The Pioneer Woman, and her blog and her Marlboro Man. I'm hooked. I'm addicted. I find myself turning Paul into my own Marlboro Man. If you have time, go check out her website www.thepioneerwoman.com and read the story Black Heels to Tractor Wheels about how she met the Marlboro Man. Read about her Lodge Remodel. Read about her Homeschooling tips. Read all kinds of stuff! It's way cool. I feel like she's my friend! I know, I'm weird!


Paul and I got to go see Lion King on Saturday in PHX. It was AWESOME! I cried about three times...and that was just in the first 15 minutes. The costuming, the dancing, the singing, the percussionists....all AWESOME! Next up WICKED? Anyone want to go? Let's do a big group deal!


And Taylor has officially learned how to say "NO" correctly. Right now it's still cute, but we'll see how much longer. But she also says Peekaboo, which is way cute, so then I just have her say that after and I smile.

And I will also be watching Confessions of a Shopaholic this weekend. Can't wait! With my big tub of popcorn! That's right, I said it!

Disneyland Withdrawals!!

We had a great time!!!

It was wonderful to spend three great days at Disneyland. And as much as you think I'm crazy, I'm ready to go back! The kids were great! It was fun to have almost the whole family there, and I'm grateful my parents were there to help me out!

Steph - I missed you taking pictures! So I didn't do a very good job, but I did get a few!

And just a tip to you all: if you can, it's totally worth it to take your kids out of school and go at the end of January!!! Tuesday and Wednesday were so empty! The park wasn't even handing out fastpasses becuase there were no lines! It was awesome to run up Space Mountain and get on right away!
