Riding the fun rides!

On the jungle cruise. Steven's first ride at Disneyland!On the Casey Jr. Circus Train. (Steven was sleeping) Darrell having a tea party with the ladies, Karen, Kaitlyn, and Ellie! On the carousel Himlich's Choo Choo Train. Jeffrey, Brian, and Darrell on the Maliboomer

Can you see me on the California Screaming? I went on it once for Darrell's sake. It made me dizzy, but it was awesome. He, my brother Brian, and my nephew, Jeffrey, only rode it about 4 times. They have stomaches and heads of steel.

Meeting some of the Disney Characters

Meeting Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. This picture is my favorite, because my hair is in my face!Hanging out with Goofy! Such a nice guy. After waiting in line for about a half hour, we got to see Mickey! It was worth it, especially since my neice and nephew both made Mickey fall over..

Elastigirl! i really wanted a picture with her, so I can be a super mom like she is one day!

Getting wet and having fun!

Some of the favorite rides for our family were Splash Mountain in Disneyland

and Grizzley River Run in California Adventure!The Rowley boys after getting soaked after numerous runs on the rapids. After going on Splash Mountain. It was totally awesome! I can honestly say I've NEVER gotten that wet before on that ride. Darrell having some fun on the rapids. The wonderful guyser on the river. It was a hit! haha..I crack myself up!

To the beach, okay!

It was quite the cold day when we went to the beach, but we managed to have a bit of fun! :)

My brother, Trent, and his daughter, Makenzie, made this awesome sand turtle.Darrell had fun with the nephews while at the beach. Jeffrey stayed warm always staying in the sand :) Jeffrey kept commenting on how soft his skin felt after being exfoliated while at the beach! Having some fun!

Steven wasn't sure what to think of the beach with all the wind, and not to mention his 100.3 degree fever that day. Poor kid!

Cute Mousey Ears

I was so glad Steven let us put his ears on him so much. They were adorable! Having so much fun with dad! Checkin' out Mickey Mouse's Piano Hangin' with Mickey!

Wedding Time!

Darrell's brother, Casey, got married on Saturday, April 26 in the Bountiful Temple. It was a beautiful day, and yay, I have a new sis-in-law, Rachel! :) She's great! It was a fun day, but definitely a long one for Steven, but we made it through!Looking at the water with his cousin, Emily Steven and his Cropper Cousins. Yep, he was very happy! Our lil' family! This picture pretty much sums up how Steven was most of the day. It was so sad.

I just hope he starts feeling better soon!

Reception Shots

I was having quite a lot of fun with my dad's camera at the wedding reception. Here is some of my fun with the wedding cake! Darrell with his siblings. This is the second time they have all been together in like 7 years! It was sure fun! And of course, gotta get a picture with this good lookin' husband o'mine.

Picture Craze!

We tried getting a family picture, but Steven wasn't about to smile for any of those. However, when we gave him his own private photo shoot outside of the reception center, he had a blast!

Congrats Aunt Sheri!

Friday Steven and I were able to go to my sister, Sheri's, graduation at BYU. She now has her Masters Degree in Social Work! She's basically amazing, so I was grateful that we could go and support her. Steven just loves her, and it was a lot of fun!

Steven's First Haircut!

Due to hair in the eyes, and growing over the ears, I decided it was about time to give Steven a hair cut. We didn't end up taking too much off, but it still means my little boy is growing up!

Baby Animal Day!

Steven and I went with Trent and Megan's family, and some of Megan's family to Baby Animal Day in Wellsville. It was really fun! I didn't think Steven would be interested at all, but once I got a baby chick in front of him, he started to want to pet it. He also liked the baby bunnies. :) It was fun!
