(Autumn stayed home with Nana-Thanks again MOM!!!!)

We had a great time on our trip to Disneyland. We couldn't resist once again getting away to some sunshine and some much needed R & R. So we packed up the car with plenty of snacks, dvd's and one very large bag o' tricks for the kids and we were on our way. Road trippin it all the way to LA was a bit more than we bargained for but all things considered it turned out pretty good. On the way down we stayed with Randalls sister Becky and her family in Sacramento. Up early the next morning we found we had a flat tire so down the road to Les Schwab for a quick patch job and we were on our way. We arrived in Anaheim at about 5:30 pm after 2 hair raising hours of LA traffic. Of course the kids couldnt wait any longer so we headed straight for the Magic Kingdom for some late night fun.

2 girls, 2 boys and 3 kids road trippin it all the way to LA. Not sure what we were thinking!! This picture is obviously from the begining of the trip-notice the happy smiles!!!

A quick stop and potty break at the Medford Temple.


At last we arrive. Here are some of our favorite photos from our time at Disneyland.

At the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyers Island.

Parker and Mickey.

He could not wait to get his autograph!! Before we went to Disneyland the kids and I made personalized autotgraph books for all of the characters to sign. Mickey Mouse was Parkers number one character he had to see closely followed by Woody. As luck would have it the characters were out and about in fine form and he got both in 1 day.

Joy and I on Thunder Mountain-one of our favorite rides.

And now for a funny tale. When it comes to rides Parker is what Joy calls a "wanny." He is so afraid of any ride that appears more scarey than the merry go round. I'm still not sure why we think that its a good idea to take him to Disneyland-after all isnt that what you do there. It all came to blows when we tried to get him to go on Snow Whites ride. He said," no way that is too scarey." We tried to tell him that it wasn't scarey, but to no avail. He can read now-very well I might add and said "MOM, it is too scarey. The sign says Snow Whites Scarey Adventure!!!!"
This reading thing seems to be getting me in trouble a lot lately.

And if that wasn't enough, Joy and I got this hair brained idea that we would take him and Abrianna on Thunder Mountain. BIG MISTAKE!!! He actually said that he wanted to go on it-of course before he really knew what the ride was about. Abrianna was all for it. She is our little daredevil. (Her favorite rides were Star Tours and the Matterhorn. A little strange for a little 3 year old. She is such a thrill seeker like her dad.) Anyways, as we were standing in line waiting for the ride he began asking questions about what the ride was like-making sure it was not scarey of course. So Joy and I told him that it was just a train ride-no big deal. Well it was the truth with just some minor details left out!!! Well I'm sure you can guess how the story ended. It involved lots of screaming and a "Na, ah I am never going on that ride again.!!!" I still cant believe that we actually took him on it. During the ride I was actually thinking, geez this is actually kind of a scarey ride even for me. Nevertheless, I was very proud of him that day. We shall see what happens the next time.

Taking flight on Dumbo.

Abrianna and Princess Belle

We waited for quite some time at the Disney Princess Fantasy Faire to see the beautiful princess. Abrianna insisted that we take her "Cindelella " dress all the way to Disneyland so she could be a pretty princess too. She wore it all around the park, and I must say she looked awfully cute in her ball gown with tennis shoes. Parker although hesitant saw the princesses too and thought they were pretty cute.

Randall Boggs and Randall Glenn. Perhaps one in the same-well never know.

And the story ends of course with- we all lived Happily Ever After. That is after a 18 hour car trip from LA to Home all in one day!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Hauntings from the Glenn Family.

We hope everyone had just as much fun as we did this Halloween.

We began the night by loading up our car with one dashing Snow White and the entire gang from Mystery Inc. (see below for the very embarrasing but hillarious pictures) After arriving at the ward trunk or treat party we enjoyed a delicious bowl of soup while the kids ran around the church like little hooligans. The kids really did have a blast and filled their buckets to the brim with candy. We then returned home to endure the hysterical screams of "wheres my candy, I need my candy, " and the frightful moans of tummy aches. I am glad to report that Abriannas candy is all gone-a new record I am sure. Only 3 days to devoure an entire bucketful. Lets just say it was the better option. It was either that or days of 'candy withdrawls'-and believe me they really arent pretty.

One pretty princess!!!

Scooby Scooby doo where are you?

The whole gang from Mystery Inc. Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, Scooby, and 2 little scooby sncaks.
(Poor John-the only one who didnt get a wig. We figured a brown haired Fred would have to do after I cut my hand trying to cut his wig, Joy cut his ear, and I got blood all over it. We decided it must be a rule of 3's thing-and decided to stop before something really disasterous happened. I think John appreciated our wisdom-he really didnt want to loose an ear or possibly an eye.)

Velma and her Scooby snack. Dont the braces just complete the look?

Fir Point Field Trip

Pumpkins, Pumpkins everywhere.

Abrianna and mommy went to Fir Point Farms for her first Preschool field trip. We had so much fun looking at all of the animals, going through the hay maze, and going for a ride on the tractor wagon. She got to pick out her very own pumpkin-as big as she wanted. It was very rainy that day so mom was glad when the field trip finally ended. One pumpkin and two pairs of very muddy boots later-we called it a successful trip.

Trying to get a class picture of everyone.

Abrianna playing is Hazels Nut House.

As soon as she entered she promptly took off her boots and layed down in all of the nuts to make a "nut angel." (sort of like a snow angel but instead of a pile of snow she used a pile of nuts.)

Abrianna and Missy.

These two are friends from church and are also in preschool together.

Pumpkin Guts and Such

Pumpkin guts and things as such-thats what our Family Night was made of. It was another fun evening of carving pumpkins at the Glenn house. This was the FIRST year that Parker and Abrianna actually cleaned out the pumpkins themselves-and of course I have pictures to prove it!!!! Parker chose to do Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales, Abrianna made a simple Jackolantern, and Randall and I did Mickey Mouse in anticipation of our upcoming trip next week to Disneyland.

The finished products all lit up on the porch. They were quite an impressive sight.

Our yummy caramel apples.
