Melanie's Pre-School Graduation!

Melanie has loved pre-school this year. She absolutely loves her teacher BillySue and all of her classmates. She did such a great job at her graduation!

Waiting for it to start.

"The rain is falling on the flowers."

Having so much fun!

She loves these silly glasses that went with a story they told.

Happy Graduation Day Melanie!

She was so excited that Grandma and Grandpa Blake could make it all the way up for her graduation.

I think the funnest part was Grandpa jumping with them afterwords!

Happy Memorial Day!

We had a really fun Memorial Day! We started the festivities on Saturday when we thought it would be fun to go out to Preston and get the hand scooped ice cream at Big J's. We decided since we were going all the way out to Preston that we would go out to Oxford to the graves of some of Brads ancestors. We really forgot how far Oxford was from Preston, a lot farther than we had remembered. When we entered Oxford it poured rain and the whole time we were there it poured even harder.

Melanie, Kaitlyn, Matt and Brad. Can you tell it is pouring rain?

This is when the rain was coming down the hardest.

We then headed down to Utah County. We started out at the Orem Cemetery, then the Provo and out to Payson last.

After leaving the Provo cemetery we met Brad's parents and Patetneet School for a picnic and to play. We then headed over to the Payson cemetery.

Matt and Melanie love to help grandma make sure the flowers have enough water.

Goodbye California!

We were so sad to say goodbye, yet excited to get home! We had a great trip and a lot of fun family time! I was so sick the whole trip, but got through it having so much fun! We can't wait to go back!

Our Airplane! Matt loved seeing and flying in all the airplanes!

Matt and Brad. Matt kept yelling at us "Mom, I am falling!"

Melanie and Kaitlyn. They did so good flying together it worked out so good because Melanie loved sitting by the window and Kaitlyn wanted to sit by the aisle right next to me.

Disneyland 2009 ~ Day 5

Today was our last day to spend in Disneyland. We have had so much fun playing at both parks and are sad that we have to say goodbye.

Splash Mountain, a favorite ride.

Jenelle, Julia, Melanie, Brad and Kaitlyn

A Happy Family in the happiest place on earth!
Melanie, Kristi, Kaitlyn, Matt, Brad

The girls loved the castle!

The Teacups again?
You would think this ride would have made me very sick being pregnant, surprisingly it didn't at all.

Our private Meet and Greet with Pluto
Matt, Brad, Will, Pluto, Melanie, Kaitlyn, Kristi

This is the biggest smile I saw on Wills face the whole trip.
Will, Mel, Kaitlyn

Saying goodbye to Pluto

I finally talked Will to go on the Monsters ride with us. he would not let go of my hand the whole time. He did end up liking it though.

Mr. Incredible. Matt loved this guy!
Kaitlyn, Melanie, Will, Kristi, Matt

Sully, another one of Matt's favorites.
Melanie, Brad, Matt, Kaitlyn and Will

At the Disney Playhouse show. What a fun interactive show that all the kids loved.
Will, Melanie, Julia, Kaitlyn

Another favorite ride, The Grizzly Bear Rapids. The girls each asked to wear a poncho for this ride, which I was more than happy to give them. little did we know that Melanie would go down backwards and her poncho would fly up and water gush into it. She ended up soaked, but was a good sport about it.

Brad and Kaitlyn eating Mickey ice creams waiting for the parade to start, Yummo!

This was such a fun Interactive parade.

Marry Poppins, one of Kaitlyn's favorites!

Daisy, Melanie's absolute favorite Disney character. We prepared her not to see Daisy while there because she is not very available. We were kind of disappointed in our seats we got for the parade until Daisy stopped in front of us for about 5 min. She pointed at Melanie and her daisy shirt and smiled at her and waved at her. Melanie's face was priceless. This is the best thing that could have ever happened. Melanie said see mom we did get to see Daisy and she was really close to me. She was so happy, which in return made me very happy!
