Happier Times

As you can see there were also some happy moments in the Magic Kingdom...

Both kids loved the Teacups.

Dylan informed me that he was really good at driving the cars. I never got to see him because I was driving the car in front. Ken controlled the gas and drove as slowly as he could so that Dylan would have a nice long ride. I thought these cars were really hard to drive and felt like a bit of a fool as I bumped the rail over and over.
I thought Katie would absolutely love the horse on the carousel but she couldn't really tell that she was on the horse, so mainly she wanted the horse next to us that she could see better. Dylan refused to ride a horse at first so he sat in the non-moving sled. Once he watched everyone he wanted to give it a try and so my mom took him back later.

My mom took this picture with her cell phone of the second go around on the carousel.

And last of all- Dylan's new favorite ride: Splash Mountain. He likes rides where we could make a Dylan sandwich. It also made me feel much better to have him where I could keep a hand on him on the wilder rides. The biggest problem with Space Mountain was he was sitting in the very front all by himself! I am pretty sure the Disneyland version puts people two by two.

Up next... our beach adventures!

Wow, does Caitlin ever look like Dylan in that picture on the carousel! I'm glad you had some good times too. Joseph's favorite part of Disney World was the hokey train ride that hasn't been redone since the 70s.

10 years today

Dylan made me these hearts as an anniversary gift. Sweet, huh? Ten years ago I was newly graduated from college, in love and ready to get married! Well, technically I was freaking out about getting married, which probably made Ken feel super good. Most of you know this story and the rest of you probably don't care, but it's my blog, so ppppthhhht! Ken lived across the street from me during our last year of college (but curiously, we were 24 and 25. Oh, how I love BYU). He and his room mate spent many evenings, and when I say evenings I really mean late at night, in my living room talking to my room mates, Laura and Cheryl (hi guys!). I would emerge from my basement lair, tell them to pipe down and then retreat for my beauty sleep and morning classes. Ken would hang out then go home, watch a movie, go jogging at 3 am and then sleep until noon. Somewhere in there I assume he also studied a bit but maybe not. He probably just showed up and dazzled his professors with his ...

A few projects

I made this pair of puppies from this really cute crochet book: They were my first attempts at animals and they showed me just how hard it is to crochet evenly and then attach all the limbs correctly. Dylan and Caitlin accepted these two little guys and love them in spite of their lopsidedness. But I decided to try again: Following the same pattern I made these two little puppies. There are still many things about attaching limbs that I need to master. Once the puppies were stuffed their eyes never looked quite like they were supposed to and the noses were obviously stitched on off center. But I learned to pin the limbs into place with straight pins before sewing that that helped me out immensely. Here's the other project from the same book that I have been working on:

some things about me

Is it cheating if I reuse material from another place? Once in college I used a paper I had written for one class for an assignment in another class. I told the professor and he acted like he was giving me a free pass by accepting it. Whatever! I wrote it! Is it my fault that it fit the assignments for two different classes? Anyway, I hardly ever do these but I spent a really long time compiling this list for a facebook meme so I am reprinting it with permission from the author (me) here: 25 things about me. 1. I like the weather to stay between 67-73 degrees. Preferably with sunshine. I also love thunder storms on summer evenings in Utah. They smell amazingly fresh and rainy. I like to watch them from inside. 2. I have enough embarrassing moments to fill this list but one of the most embarrassing was once in college when I thought my car was dead. I called a room mate to come pick me up, she called her brother to come look at the car and tow it. He drove 45 minutes to rescu...
