Disneyland Pictures

Some of my family went to Disneyland last week for the week. They drove down and went to the two Disneyland Parks for 3 days. Paisley is still too young to go. We have decided 5 would be a good age to take her. We are a Disney Family. We absolutely love it there. Well worth the money. Here are a few pictures that the family took that I thought were great.

Here is Kyanne and Jeneva with their dad Thomas.

Kyanne and Jeneva again.

Here they are racing in a car.

With good old Mickey.

Girls again with their dad.

My mom went too, but like me she does not like to get photographed. My sister went and my brother Michael too. They all had a good time. I am glad to have them back.

I Totally Recommend These...

George and I have been thinking about getting these two things for months now. We finally bit the bullet and ordered them up. Target had a 25% off sale and free shipping, so we took advantage of it.

Before this toy bin holder we were using laundry baskets...not so attractive as this cute thing is. Love it and Paisley can see all her toys better. It is very sturdy and does not tip over.

We needed a little table and chairs for Paisley when she colors and has snacks. Here is Jeneva and Paisley coloring. Or should I say Jeneva coloring and Paisley eating the crayons while I am telling her not too.


Once again, very sturdy and wipes off clean every time. Paisley seems to enjoy them too.

Paisley's Purses

You all know Paisley loves shoes, but she also loves purses. Recently Paisley's grandma Lestenkof when to Korea and China and brought Paisley and myself back one of these cute purses. She carries it around the house with her often.

Grandma Ewing just went to Disneyland and brought her back this pretty purse too. It has Minnie on it. Kyanne decided she needed some big sunglasses to spice her up. So there you go.

What a week...

We had a busy week last week....hopefully this week will be quiet.

The week started out on Thursday taking my cousin Jason out to dinner while he was in town doing his Navy reserve duties. He is 25 and a really sweet man. My cousin Jennifer and my brother Steven joined George, Jason and I for dinner. It was fun having all the cousins together around the dinner table.

Then Friday we were invited over to our good friends Tony and Tallie's house for a graduation party. Tallie just graduated with a 4.0 and her bachelors degree in buisness administration from Chapman College. Here she is at her graduation. We are so proud of you Tallie!

We had so much fun hanging out with friends from work. We were only going to stay an hour or so, but we ended up staying for like 3.5 hours!!! When time flies like that you know you are having a good time. We laughed so much my cheeks hurt.

Then Saturday I had the Primary Quarterly Activity from 10-noon. It was a lot of fun and I am so thankful everyone showed up and did such a great job for the kids. If any of you are reading this...thanks again for all your efforts.

After the Primary Quarterly Activity I hit a couple of garage sales and walked away with a new jacket, dress and sweatshirt for Paisley. I also found the cutest dresses for Linda Johnston's little lady too. One even had a bandana headband and it was red with polka dots...love it...you will have to ask her to see it...it is sooooo cute.

Then after the garage sales Paisley and I made 70 bags of popcorn for my lesson on Sunday. Paisley ate a lot of popcorn while I popped a lot of popcorn!!! She loves the stuff.

Then after all of that our neighbor across the street which also happens to be Dr. Dawn and her Hawaiian husband invited all the neighbors over for an imprompto fish fry at 7pm. It was a little late for us, but we decided to make an appearance because it was so nice of them to ask us over. In addition to asking us over for dinner...George and the husband started talking about fish and he took George into his garage where he proceeded to give George tons of frozen fish that he has caught over the year. He is an avid fisherman like George. I am not a big fish person, but to George this was heaven. He gave him salmon, halibut, lincott and a few others that I can't even remember what they were called. Did I mention George was in heaven!!!

There again we only wanted to say hi, but we stayed for like 2 hours!!! The fish was fabulous and we were able to meet all the neighbors that we did not know. They are a great group of people. We really have a nice neighborhood...that will be a sad part about leaving when we finally sell the house.


Sunday was Paisleys first day in nursery at church. For the special occasion I had picked her out a first day of nursery dress from Pottery Barn Kids. She looked absolutely lovely in it. Word to the wise...don't buy dresses that you have to button up down the back. I had to chase Paisley all around the house trying to button 12 buttons. Whew! I was sweating.


I just love her to pieces.

Then after church we had the family over for dinner. It was Michael's 25th birthday on Friday, so we celebrated. Here is the monster himself. It is nice having the family back. They went to Disneyland this week. We really missed them all.

Yes, more cake!!!

And that about wraps up our busy week.

Save The Date-Pampered Chef Party

Hi All,
I am hosting a pampered chef party on Thursday, July 9th.
My house...6:30 p.m.
Everyone is invited. Save The Date!
If anyone knows me...you know I throw a good party.
There will tons of food and the theme is Chocolate Bliss!!!

House Selling Update

Well, I was told that the market would pick up in the Summer and it sure has. We had 3 walk throughs last week and 2 every week for the last few weeks. That is really great! No offers yet, but keep your fingers crossed.

We really need more space, however...not sure that we want a bigger house payment. We bought our current house about 6 years ago when the market was really down and we only pay $700.00. You can't even rent for that.

I guess it is the price you have to pay. Anyways, I just wanted to add that there is one other nice perk to house selling. My house is continually clean...just in case we have a looker and get that call from Nerell that they want to see it in an hour...sometimes 15 minutes!!!! Yikes. Those are the scary ones.

Anyho...thanks Nerell for all you do for us. You are a great agent and friend!

For the rest of you...if you know anyone that is looking...send them our way. We are still asking $210,000.00. You can't beat the interest rates. They hit 4.375% last week!

Paisley's New Pool

Since is was 82 degrees yesterday, we decided to get Paisley a pool. She loved it! Here she is playing with the water sprays and here is a little video.

I have to add in that Paisley has many many swim suits, but George said she did not need it, so there you go.

I hope you all had a great day in the sun like we did!
