The Year of A Million Dreams!!

Well we spent a very long week at Disneyland. It was fun and all, just not as exciting as Disney World. But, overall we had a blast. We stayed with Bean and John on Sunday night, on our way down. Usually it only takes about 10-12 hrs. to Bean's but, Sunday, it took 15 hrs. The had the ag station checking every vechicle and it was backed up for a good hour or so. And we had head on Santa Ana winds. Sunday night was rough, Colton was sleeping in the same bed as us and then about 2:00 am, he started screaming, at first I thought he just didn't know where he was or that he was stuck, but when the screaming didn't stop and lasted, I knew something was wrong, I figured he probably had another earache. So, Matt and Dad gave him a blessing and he immediatley calmed down. I love the power of the priesthood, it's amazing. What a great blessing to have a husband and a father who is worthy of holding and using the Priesthood.

We decided to take him to instacare, because, by the time he is screaming they are usually bad. He never shows any signs before they are really bad, no fever or irritability, or tugging. Well we finally got into see the pediatric dr. yep, he had an earache, then we got home at 5:00 am.

Needless to say our first day at Disney, we were exhausted!!! Colton was fine for the most part.

We'll Colton didn't actually like the characters. He loved the princesses' and liked Eyore, but who doesn't like Eyore. We met up with one of Dad's friends, Don Palouff, it was fun to see him, he hasn't changed much, just gotten older like the rest of us.

It's funny, I don't remember the Castle being that small. When I was young the castle was huge. It's not as big as Disney World. I loved seeing everything again at Disneyland, it reminded me of when I was little and we would go during the summer's.

It was fun being there in October, they were all decorated for Halloween, it was really cute.

Matt was so excited to show Colton all that Disney has to offer and Colton, well he's too young to really get it, but he did really like the horse drawn carriages. He called the horse's, dog's. Matt was in line with Colton to ride Dumbo, and I had picked the perfect spot for picture's, well the line was kinda long and it was hot, well Matt made it up to be on the next rides looked down and Colton was asleep. Poor, Matt. It was so funny!! It seemed like whenever we went on a ride that was in the dark, out he went. Didn't matter that it was so loud in there. He slept right through it. The temperature was really hot for this time of year. It was at least 95 degrees everyday.

We had a lot of fun, thanks mom and dad for going with us!! We made great memories.

This is how Colton was every night, it must have been from all those naps during the day!! Excuse my mom's feet, Colton didn't really know I was recording if he had, he would have stopped.
