Well if you haven't noticed I have not had anything to post for awhile and that is because my attention derived jack Russell terrier decided to jump on the computer cord and made it fall straight on the Internet air card and busted the computer input. So yep we were out of commission for awhile. Thank heavens we have a good warranty on the darn thing so we took it to best buy and they fixed it for free 99 (my favorite price). Anyways it seemed forever. It actually ended up being only 3 weeks but it felt like a year. I will get some good stuff up soon even though nothing has really happened.

Disneyland
Well we finally made it on a vacation! Clint and I decided that neither of us have been to disneyland in quit a while. Clint has only been there once when he was 8 and I have been there twice and the last time was when I was 15 yikes. It has been a long time since we have been able to just leave and go to disney land spur of the moment. Sunday night Clint's boss thought it would be nice to give him four days off so we packed up on monday and left for California. Now that we live in las vegas it is only 3 1/2 hours away to disneyland. We arrived there at about 6 on Monday night and we met up with our cousin Tandy who lives there. We ate ice cream and I finally was able to see their new addition Ella. The next morning we woke up at 7 and darted off to disneyland. We were able to ride all of the rides and we were there till 9 that night. It was a long day of fun but we had the best time ever. I really felt like I was twelve again and nothing can really compare to that feeling.
Here is Ariel. She was not as pretty as belle but I had to take a picture because she is my favorite character of all time
Well here it is the very last ride of the day splash mountain. We waited until after the parade and we sprinted to splash mountain and we got right on the ride. To my disadvantage it was getting dark and I got stuck in front row because my husband was being a big baby! I got drenched I had to take my top of and change into a jacket. p.s i even put my hair in a very tight bun and it still got drenched.
I was trying to get that dang sword out of the stinking ground but I had no luck at all.
At night the princess castle lights up pink and purple my two favorite colors so I had to take a snap thanks stranger for taking it for us.
Can we say creepy ! this is me when I am old. This just depresses me:(
Here is Clint hahaha he has a permafrown
Honey I shrunk the audience is still as funny as ever our favorite part when the dog sneezes on you is not part of the show booooo !
Jungle safari! that poor zebra is being eaten by the lions:(
HAha isn't it funny to see a grown man on a merry go round cause I do
here is thunder mountain is was not as scary as I could remember but it was still fun!
Here we are on the Davy Crockett canoe ride. As you can see we were not paddling and the guides had to help most of the way because my arm started hurting and there were like 5 kids on the canoe. By the end of the ride the guides were sweating and we kind of felt bad oh well pictures are sometimes more important right?
I wanted a picture of us with some mickey ears so we went into the store and found our favorite and and took a picture of them without buying them hahaha thanks disney:)
Here is one of our new favorite rides we went on. Finding nemo just opened this year and it was a blast. This was the longest line at disneyland so it took us about an hour to get on but was well worth the wait. It is a big submarine that floats around and has computerized nemo characters with jelly fish and lots of cool stuff. It really is amazing to see this ride and I always wonder how the heck they do it.
This by far is one of the funniest things we saw at disneyland. This little Asian guy was sitting in front of us at the parade and he had one of the biggest cameras I have ever seen hahahaha he was taking pictures of birds that were like 1000 feet away. Still makes me laugh

New Calling
Well Heavenly father has found a new church calling for me! It does not involve the nursery so I am more than excited. I have been called to the Young Women's Laurel Advisor. Yep I get to go to Girl's camp for the 7th year and I get to hang out with teenagers and go to youth night on Wednesday's. I am a little nervous because I am in charge of doing the lessons on Sunday's and I still feel like a young women myself. I sit in the crowd and I blend right in and that kind of freaks me out! We are planning our weekly activities so if anybody has any good lessons or activity ideas you let me know asap!

Think Twice
Oh my goodness. I found this article and I could not believe my eyes. This really makes you wonder what is being put into your body. I love all of this food too! I guess not anymore huh!
Top 20 Worst Foods in America
20. Worst Fast Food Chicken Meal - Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 piece) with cream ranch sauce. 830 calories, 55 grams fat, 48 carbs. Add large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.
19. Worst Drink - Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie (30 fl. oz.) 900 calories, 10 grams fat, 183 carbs, 166 grams sugar. The beverage contains as much sugar as 8 pints of Ben & Jerry's butter pecan ice cream.
18. Worst Supermarket Meal - Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie. 1,020 calories, 64 grams fat, 86 grams carbs.
17. Worst "Healthy" Burger - Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger. 1,145 calories, 71 grams fat, 56 grams carbs.
16. Worst Mexican Entree - Chipolte Mexican Grill Chicken Burrito. 1,179 calores, 47 grams fat, 125 grams carbs, 2,656 mg sodium.
15. Worst Kids' Meal - Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese. 1, 210 calories, 62 grams fat, 3, 450 mg sodium. It's like feeding your kid 1 1/2 boxes of Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese.
14. Worst Sandwich - Quiznos Classic Italian. 1,528 calories, 92 grams fat, 4,604 mg sodium, 110 grams carbs. A large homeade sandwich would more likely provide about 500 calories.
13. Worst Salad - On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef. 1,450 calories, 102 grams fat, 2,410 mg sodium.
12. Worst Burger - Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger. 1,520 calories, 111 grams fart.
11. Worst Steak - Lonestar's 20 oz. T-bone. 1,540 calories, 124 grams fat. Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature Lettuce Wedge and this is a 2,700 calorie blowout.
10. Worst Breakfast - Bob Evan's Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed hotcakes. 1.540 calories, 77 grams fat, 198 grams carbs, 109 grams sugar. Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as this stack of sugar-stuffed flapjacks, which is truly a heavy breakfast, weighing in at a hefty pound and a half.
9. Worst Dessert - Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. 1,600 calories, 78 grams fat, 215 grams carbs. Would you eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the calorie equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get their money's worth.
8. Worst Chinese Entree - P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein. 1,820 calories, 127 grams fat, 95 grams carbs. The fat content in this dish alone provides more than 1,100 calories. And you'd have to eat almost five servings of pasta to match the number of carbs it contains.
7. Worst Chicken Entree - Chili's Honey Chipolte Crispers with Chipolte Sauce. 2,040 calories, 99
grams fat, 240 grams carbs.
6. Worst Fish Entree - On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans. 2,100 calories, 130 grams fat, 169 grams carbs, 4,700 mg sodium. Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America. A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.
5. Worst Pizza - Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza. 2,310 calories, 162 grams fat, 123 grams carbs, 4,470 mg sodium. Downing this "personal" pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza.
4. Worst Pasta - Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce. 2,430 calories, 128 grams fat, 207 grams carbs, 5,290 mg sodium. This meal satisfied your calorie requirements for an entire day.
3. Worst Nachos - On the Border Stacked Border Nachos. 2,740 calories, 166 grams fat, 191 grams carbs, 5,280 mg sodium.
2. Worst Starter - Chili's Awesome Blossom. 2,710 calories, 203 grams fat, 194 grams carbs, 6,360 mg sodium.
1. The Worst Food in America - Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing. 2,900 calories, 182 grams fat, 240 grams carbs. Even if you split these starters with your friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your dinner arrives.
Sorry for the disappointments
