Welcome to crumby hotels in California

Vacations rule!  We had a great time in California with our .  friends Ben and Darcy.  They be part is that they are money conscious just like us!

We got a really inexpensive hotel, because who wants to spend their whole vacation sleeping anywho?  Here is a picture of Kyle the Covert in his investigating while wearing flip flops outfit he wore to church.  

We spent the rest of  Sunday relaxing on the beach reading.

 Day #1 Disneybaby... Here we are on the tram ready for a day of rides... and magic

 Kyles favorite ride, It's a Small World

We decided to grab lunch in the park, but unfortunately if you don't feed me for long periods of time I get grouchy.  The problem was I chose the shortest  yet slowest line in the universe.
But here is a picture of Our buddy Ben with his huge turkey leg!

 We love pumpkin mickey

Day #2 California Adventures

One of my fave things is the bugs life show, where we became honorary bugs and got to wear awesome glasses.

 I swear we walked down this pier like 12 times, but when you stroll it in the dark its magical

Knotts Berry Farm was really empty... so we snapped this with snoopy

This one gets you really wet

All animals love kyle... this male flamingo is really fond of him...

After this show I want to be a dolphin trainer

Kyle didn't want to leave the shark tank/  but I bit him and he did

This is one of the most beautiful temples ever!

Hola!

This was a delicious icecream that helped me get through the 12 hours

Half Marathon

This story all begins with a girl named Kelsie.  She is really cute and fun and I want to be just like her.  One day she asked me to run with her.  Told her I hated it.  But somehow she convinced me to sign up for a half marathon.  At this time I had never run more than a mile in my life and those high school gym days stunk!  But like I said I signed up.  Trained for 8 weeks with some fun fun girls and did it!  I can't believe it!  What a blessing I was able to finish!  I did it in 2:30!

Kels and I were the pink ladies!

The only disappointing thing.. the tiny medals.

5k

I always tease Ky because he doesn't run with me... but this last eekend he did!  He ran our stake 5k.  Laura ran with me.  This is Ky leaving us in the dust.Here is Laur.. .she  did great. but i am not going to lie... I gave her a piggy back for a t least a mile of the race. (don't worry it was spaced out)

Ky ran so fast he won 3rd place in his division and got a pedometer!

here are the victors!

Homecoming

Both twins were asked to homecoming.  Don't worry I know their dresses are not modest.  But lets be honest  their isn't much you can do.

Mom and Em were over at Amy's friends house helping her get ready while I got Joni off.  Her date Caleb smelled so good.  I know because I helped pin his flower on him. 

This is Joni ready to get off of Hidden Cove Drive, and away from embarrassing family

Amy wanted me to fix her hair and when I got their Emily and cousin Sarah were doing a great job!

she ended up looking like a super model... 

Here is mom Em, Baby Avery and I
