My Disneyland ABC Scrapbook

I have been working on a little 8"x8" scrapbook that is Disneyland ABCs. I used pictures from all of our family trips, from 1982 to the most recent one this past May. It was fun to look through the older pictures, as well as the new ones. I love making little scrapbooks like this. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pages. If you would like to see all of them, I uploaded them to a set in Flickr  Click Here

Albuquerque Trip

We took a short little trip to Albuquerque this past weekend. We drove down there on Thursday, and drove home on Sunday. It was fun to visit Mike's parents, and friends that are down there. We were able to see the 6th Harry Potter movie on Friday night. I thought it was one of the best Harry Potter movies so far. 

On Saturday morning, we went to the aquarium

There was a really cool tubular jellyfish tank

After the Aquarium, we went to the Botanical Gardens

There is a really neat miniature train there

They had a fun children's garden area with fun things to explore

On Saturday we got to hang out with some old friends. It was really fun.

The girls enjoyed spending time with Grandpa and Grandma

Marolynn had gotten a package of Noah's arc stickers, and Nora loved making pictures with them. She made quite a few while we were there.

One way I kept myself entertained on the drive home was taking pictures out the car window. It is quite a pretty drive, and we saw some amazing clouds. 

Nora and Evie figured out how to hold hands from their carseats. I thought it was really cute and took a picture. From then on, anytime Nora got bored, she would grab Evie's hand and say "Mom! Mom! We holding hands. Take a picture!"

It was a short trip, but we had a good time!

Nora's 3 Year Portraits

I'm a little behind, but I finally took Nora in for her 3 year portraits. She kept bouncing around the set, but in the end, the pictures turned out really cute. I love her smile. 

Make Yourself Comfortable...

Silly Sabrina!

Our Other New Kitty

Around the same time we got Sabrina, another new kitty started showing up at our house at certain times. Her name is Meow-Meow, and she is very friendly, and sure meows a lot. The funny thing is, anytime she comes to visit, Nora mysteriously disappears.

Lavender Fields

Bethany called us today to tell us that it was Lavender Days at the lavender fields in Mona. We didn't make it out there in time for the different activities, but we did get to see the gorgeous lavender fields and took lots of pictures. The girls were delighted by all the purple flowers! I'm glad we had a chance to see the beautiful fields at their peak, right before harvest.
