The Great WALT DISNEY

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

"I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."

"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."

"All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them."

Heavenly Spring Break

And boy do I wish it was still happening! I've only been back at work for like 2 and a half weeks since then and for some reason it's killing me. Seriously, have I mentioned that I totally have an entire gray streak/chunk of hair right in the front of my head? I think six years of classrooms full of children is causing some premature aging. Whatever. One month left.
Anyhow, Spring Break started with a lovely weekend of General Conference and some Easter festivities. Honey and fam were up here from California for Andrea's baptism and Leslie's new baby, Braxton's blessing. I have no pictures from any of these events, which is highly uncharacteristic of me. However, I do have great photos from the trip I later took that week with my roommate Jessica to my homeland. We stopped in Vegas to see Natalie and her cute family. Carson has the best cheeks in America:


We spent some time at Newport Beach with Carrie and her little guys


All of Carrie's children eat sand, it's a family tradition.

The next couple of outings were to an Angel game where we ate delicious garlic fries and changed seats a lot of times and then to Disneyland where we tried to avoid the mass crowds by doing random things:



Like the Shooting Gallery

and the Monte Cristo sandwich at the Blue Bayou

...walking through Chip and Dale's tree house

and taking a quick nap...

But the best event of the weekend was the MS walk at UC Irvine to support Mike, Adriane's husband. He's the bomb and we had a great time on our march! The H.S. crew was there with their kids and I love any chance to see them all!

Adriane and Jude (she has make up on, I do not, lol)

Oh and then we met up with Jess's friend, Melissa, and went to Olvera St. in L.A. for some taquitos and to beautiful Hermosa Beach to see Ryan and Kim perform in their a cappella group, Soundstage. They won the competition of course! (We may have stopped at Disney Studios in Burbank to try and sneak in...yes, it was my idea)







Ryan and Kimmy. Their group is amazing! I'm so proud of them!

You have too much fun! Thanks for coming to see me and the baby! I have a picture idea brewing in my head with that cute Mexi shirt you gave Asher.
