My Birthday at Disneyland !!!

Patrick took me to Disneyland again this year for my Birthday!
Just the two of us went, and we had a fabulous time. We stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel which was wonderful. We got the 3 day park hopper pass so we went on all the rides we wanted over and over. We saw all the parades and different shows they had going on too. We ate dinner one night at the Blue Bayou which is in The Pirates of the Caribbean ride and it was AWESOME!! We also at dinner one night at Goofy's Kitchen which is in the Disneyland Hotel. That was really good and fun eating with all the different characters like Goofy, Pluto, Mulan, Minnie, Mickey, etc.
Since we didn't have the kids with us, we went on all the big rides as many times as we wanted and didn't go near the little kids rides. It was fun going in the shops and shopping in Downtown Disney District and just being together.
It was one of the best birthdays ever!!!

Flagstaff on the 4th of July

We decided to get out of the heat and go to Flagstaff for the 4th of July with the Riedlinger side of the family. We all took our trailers, rhinos, and quads and had a nice 4 day vacation. It rained for at least 2 or 3 hours each day which cooled it off and made the weather perfect!! The kids had a great time playing in the rain and riding their quads. We watched fireworks on top of one of the big mountains and had fun!!!

Field Trip to the Science Center

Wow it has been forever since I updated this!
It's been a busy end of the school year and summer.
I can't believe it's already the end of July and school starts in a week and a half!!! Yeah we are excited around our house if you couldn't tell.
Well let me recap the last few months...Tyler went with his 1st Grade class to the
Arizona Science Center and I was one of the chaperones along with some of my favorite moms Denise and Natalie.
That is a great place to take the kids.

Tyler and the scorpion!!!

I'm sorry it has been so long since I posted anything. I will post more soon I promise. I do have a funny story real quick. Tyler is in 1st grade and he is doing a report on desert animals and he picked scorpions. He loves to go out at night and go scorpion hunting with Patrick and seeing how many he can find. Well he got this great idea to capture one and bring it to school to go along with the report. Well last night they went out and got one and put it in a tupperware container. They brought it inside and it wasn't dead yet, so i told him to put it back outside and then in the morning hopefully it would be dead and he could take it to school. Well sure enough in the morning it was dead, so i duct taped the lid on so he wouldn't be able to take it off at school and he took it. I had to help out in his class today, so when I got there, all the kids kept asking me about it. Come to find out he was so excited to show everyone it had been sitting on his desk all morning long and everyone kept looking at it. Needless to say I took it home with me when I left because it was causing too much drama. The ideas kids come up with!!!

Rockin' Out!

We love Rockband at our house, so when Rockband 2 came out we knew we had to get it. My sister, brother-in-law and nieces came down to visit for a few days after Christmas and they really wanted to play it. We even got grandma to play the drums!
Tyler has now moved onto the guitar and has gotten really good at that. Patrick needs to watch out!!!

Way TOO Many Presents!!!

We had a great Christmas and Santa was very generous this year. The kids got way too many presents! Tyler and Riley got new bikes. video games, star wars toys, batman toys, games, clothes and all kinds of other goodies!!
We had a great time celebrating with our families and friends.
