ARIEL IS 17!!!!!!!!




We can't believe it! Ariel turned 17 on October 16th.
I remember having her like it was yesterday...
I was at a 2 for 2 weeks, (2 weeks over due:) and finally she decided it was time, if you know anything about Ariel she does everything in her own time, this was no exception.
With only 4 hrs of labor she came, tiny, so small I was actually afraid to unwrap her from all the blankets they had her in. She was the smallest thing I had ever held. We stayed in the hospital for 2 days which is not the norm but she was not breathing when she first came out so they wanted to watch her. It was a blizzard the day I got to take her home, we made it home, got warm, got settled and then she started to cry and cry and cry...I fed her, held her, sang to her, fed her again and finally asked my mom why she wouldn't stop crying, "did you change her?" was all she said and in that moment I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I cried, while she cried and somehow I think she knew I was a beginner.
And so the last 17 years have gone...Her crying, me trying... and somehow she knows I am still just a beginner, trying so hard to guide her and yet somehow falling short but never giving up.
The only words that truly describe the last 17 years are sung by Reba McEntire "You're gonna be"
I love you Ariel, You are my whole life, my whole heart and the window to my soul. Mom

DISNEYLAND!!!!



We went to Disneyland for UEA weekend
and it was a blast!
Everything is decorated for Halloween which just happens to be one of our favorite holidays!
There is nothing like the Haunted Mansion during Halloween and the Tower of Terror was so much fun we rode it over and over again,
we even posed for a pic!

I also must mention the beautiful weather!!!!!! I wish I lived in sunny California, Utah is nice but it will never be southern Cali!
