Happy 4th of July!!

I'm back online! Woo hooo! It seemed like our host blog site was down for a few days. I have quite a few posts to make, so bear with me.

First of all, we took our boys on a surprise trip down to Disneyland. It turned out to be a long 8 hour drive (there's a long story attached to the long drive, but that's for another time)... but certainly well worth it. We made a stop in Los Angeles to visit with Nana.



That evening, after checking into the hotel and saying goodnight to the boys, I headed out to meet up with Joni (kix) from 2ScrappyChixDesigns. I have chatted and swapped with this incredibly talented lady for a couple of years now and although she lives down in Southern California, we have never met! Well here we are, having a terrific time (picture was taken by her beautiful and equally talented daughter):

And now... a few pictures from our trip to Disneyland:

Ken's favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear (10 times!!) and this photo-op was the highlight of his day!


We met a mouse...


Not but certainly not least...
