Back From Disneyland!



WOW! What a week! We left for Disneyland on Tuesday and didn't get back till Saturday at 1 am! On Wednesday Kalob took master classes at Disneyland! He said it was so much fun! They did a Marry Poppins dance! I was told that Kalob did really good! It rained that day so it was pretty much pointless trying to look good! HAHA! All of the dancers and their families went to ride Tower Of Terror! I felt so bad for some of the girs cause they were so scared! Oh my gosh that is such a fun ride! After lunch we met up with Kalob's dance teacher Kylee and her fantastic family! They took us all through California Adventure! We had never been there before! We had the best time with them! We went on Screamin! Kalob's very first upside down roller coaster! He loved it! I kicked butt on the new Toy Story ride! It's also a game and I beat Kalob and Steven's scores! HAHA! I think we went on the Grizzly ride 4 times! We got soaked! But it was so fun! I wish we could go to Disneyland with Kylee and her family all the time! We went back to the hotel pretty early because Kalob was performing at Disneyland the next day and we had to be there at 8:30! Thursday was the big day! Steven took Kalob to meet everyone while I finished getting ready. The bus to pick us up was late and I was afraid I was going to be late to Kalob's performance! But I made it! He performed in 2 dances. The first one was "I Do" a tap number and the second was a Hop Hop number! I am so excited for him and a I am amazed at what he has learned in such a short time! He only started learning tap in August! I am so grateful for his dance teacher Kylee. Things have been tough for our family and we haven't been able to pay all of tuition but she has been so understanding and caring! I would have hated to pull Kalob from dance and have him miss this opportunity! No other dance school would have done what she has done for us! After he performed we met everyone over at the Tea Cups and rode as a big dance family! It was so fun! Then Steven, Kalob and I went back to the hotel to rest and have lunch! We went back to Disneyland for a little while! Friday we went back to California Adventure and Disneyland! There were a ton of people but it was still fun! We stayed to watch the fireworks! It was nice to just sit and share ice cream and watch the show! Saturday we left for home! I tried so hard to stay awake! Kalob fell asleep pretty quick and Steven and I chatted most of the way! It was nice having that time with him! I had such a fabulous time at Disneyland and I'll never forget it! I can't wait to go back!

ALL MOVED IN!

Well, we are all moved into the new house! There were some bumps along the way but at least we are here now! We had everything ready to go when it was time to put it all in the truck! Eric was here for the weekend and my dad came and helped and a few guys from the ward. I am so happy my dad came cause without him it would have taken a lot longer! Steven did an amazing job getting all the boxes together! We started at 6am! We had the truck loaded by 8:30. Well we got to the new house around 9 and opened the garage. The people we are renting from did not clear all their stuff out yet! They said everything would be out before we got there! It was so frustrating!! We were going to load stuff to put in the attic in there so we didn't have to bring it into the house! Plus the garage wasn't swept so it was disgusting! I have a real phobia of bugs and there were a ton of dead ones that needed to be swept! That really set us behind! They finally got here to take there stuff. So the people from our new ward were helping us and them at the same time. Oh well! We had to make the best of it! I have had a lot of cleaning to do cause I am a total clean freak! So before we put anything in the cabinets I had to scrub them down! That night our new neighbors brought us pizza and salad! I was so surprised! I already love the people we live by!
When Steven took back the truck and picked up our car from mom and dads they had a beautiful basket of fruits and bread and a roast! I am so grateful to everyone that helped us! We still have some unpacking to do but the rooms are pretty much all set up, thanks to Steven! He has been amazing!

Now I am sick! 2 garage sales and a move in 3 weeks has really wore me down! I have no voice and my cough is awful! I have not left the house in days cause I don't want to get anyone else sick! I just hope I am better to see Kalob perform at Disneyland! I will be so sad if I am too sick to go! So I am resting a lot and drinking lots of fluids. I am hoping and praying that I get better quick and that Kalob doesn't get sick before hand!
