Rock band and fall leaves

A couple of weeks ago, our neighbors invited us over to have pizza and play rock band. I have never played before and it was so much fun. Now I can see what all the hype is about. Here are a couple of shots of the Hiltons, Westenskows and the Wettsteins. What great friends!



Then last Sunday I decided it was time to do our yearly drive to the mountains to enjoy the fall leaves before everything is covered in snow. We drove up to LaCaille and took some pictures of the scenery. Here is a typical Morgan picture.


Here is a picture of Morgan enjoying one of her favorite past times: running! The girl loves to run. She is training for her first marathon.




And here is a self-taken shot of us. We never have pictures of the two of us, so I thought I would share.

California 2008

Morgan has been begging John and I to take her on a trip to Disneyland; so we went last weekend and it was so much fun. We flew into Long Beach and stayed up there and just drove down to Disneyland one day.

I had heard that you could make reservations to have lunch with the princesses where they come around to your table and talk to you and you can take pictures with them. So I made us a reservation and we got to meet all the princesses, (well the ones that were there that day). There was Arial, who Morgan announces to everyone that she was a human, and not a mermaid like she speculated, and Belle, Aurora, Jasmine and Snow White. It was really cool. They were very much in character when they talk to you; so Morgan thought it was soooo awesome. Here are a couple of pictures of her with the princesses.


Belle is our favorite


John thought Jasmine was dressed too revealing but I had a feeling he was only saying that because Morgan and I were there...

John thought Snow White looked terrible. I thought she looked great.



Here is Morgan waiting for our name to be called for the lunch. Eveyone thought she was Cinderella...

The next day we went to the beach and Morgan had more fun there than she did in Disneyland. She freaked out when it was time to go. Here are some pics of the beach.









Here is one last "classic picture" of Morgan posing on the lifeguard shack.
