Disneyland!

Inside Finding Nemo

Mr Toad's Wild Ride!

Flic's Flying Adventures

It's a Small World

The Whole Family

At the beginning of May we were lucky enough to tag along with Brian and his guitar students as they performed at a music festival in Disneyland.  We are grateful that Colton is so tall because we were able to ride on all the rides together this year.  The weather was cool, the lines were short and we had a wonderful time!   It was also nice to have Grandma Bird along for the adventure.  Colton's favorite was the train...which we rode over and over.  Megan liked Grizzly Bear Rapids in California Adventure and Parker liked Autopia and Soaring Over California.  I enjoyed everything, except my circular tour of Anaheim looking for our hotel.  

Easter Sunday!!

Lookit all that loot!

Aw...aren't they cute?

My awesome boys!!

Just us girls!

I love Easter Sunday!  It's so wonderful to go to church and sing about the Savior and His resurrection.  Brian, Megan and I were lucky to be able to sing with the choir and I was able to sing a duet with one of my BFF's Gabby.  Of course, no Easter is complete without the ham and cheesy potatoes dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert.  YUM!

Easter Festivities

Fun with eggs

Don't you just love all of the Easter festivites?  Egg hunts and easter egg dyeing (complete with the tie-dyed counter, floor and sink you end up with afterwards), lots of smiles and sugared up kids....I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Holidays are just more fun with kids...nuff said! 

Megan's 7th Birthday

Make a wish!!

I can't believe my baby girl is now seven years old!  Megan's birthday just happened to fall during spring break this year.  We decided to make things easy and go for the bounce house rental again.  Megan invited some of her girl friends over in the afternoon.  The girls jumped, made bracelets and ate cupcakes.  Later that evening we had some friends over for more bouncing fun, pizza, rootbeer, cake and ice cream.  Megan claims it was the best day ever!!

Fun show on the strip!

Dinner at the Rainforest Cafe

Playing the recycled drums at the Recycled Percussion show

Brian and I were able to go on a fun night out with our friends Christine and Ricardo.  We started the night out with a yummy dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.  The natives were definately restless that night.  All those loud and wiggly monkeys reminded me of eating out with our kids....well maybe not exactly!  After dinner we went to a fun show called "Recycled Aluminum."  It was an awesome interactive show and we enjoyed playing our makeshift drums with the band.  Brian got called up up on stage to do a drumming competition, but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of that.  We topped the night off with Cold Stone.  Fun was had by all.

Ward Talent Show

What good dance form!!

She is such a graceful dancer!

The Beatles medley

We had a ward talent show in March.  It was so much to see the variety of talents that are in our ward.  Our whole family was able to participate in various ways.  First, Megan did a dance to the song "Fireflies."  She choreographed the whole thing herself and did a wonderful job.  It was very impressive for a 6 year old!!  Brian did a Beatles medley on guitars with his friend Ricardo.  They had a lot of fun and got everyone singing along.  I did a mom's version of Bohemian Rhapsody with two of my mom friends in the ward, but we didn't get any pictures of that.  Apparently everyone loved my air guitar solo!  The whole family was in this one....from Brian on guitar, to the kids running around on stage.  It was a lot of fun.

Another season of Roller Hockey comes to an end

Parker and his team

Winner of the season's MVP award

In his element

Parker had a really good hockey season.  He was one of the top scorers and leaders in assists.  His team ended up winning 2nd place and Parker won the MVP award for the season in his division.  He was also chosen to play on the All-Star Team against the older kids.  Way to go Parker!!!
