Disney Land Day 2

Day 2 started out with a exact plan of attack!

We entered Disney Land to hit the rides

and attractions we missed the day before.

After, we left for a nice quiet lunch at the CheeseCake

Factory, and then headed to the hotel for a swim break.

Next we headed to California Adventure Land to check

out their rides and attractions. It turned out great, I would offer

this advice to anyone, split up your day. You miss the big lines

at the park and at the restaurants for lunch. Plus you get

either pool time or nap time!

Above: 1st ride of the day. Nana, Melinda, and

Parker riding "It's a small world after all."

Below: 2nd ride of the day. Parker and Me in line

at Finding Nemo. Great ride, really long line.

Below: Parker and I in Mickey's Toon Town. So much

fun, gobs of stuff for kids to do, plus we are huge

fans of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

Below: Our afternoon break, swimming in the pool.

This started out great until Parker let go of his floaty

in the deep end, (8ft) causing my mother and I to

make quite the scene rescuing him. Gave poor Nana

a heart attack. I however am semi used to my son scaring

the bejesus out of me :)

Above: Second half of the day. California Adventure Land.

Parker in line at Grizzly River. This was one of his favorite rides.

Below: Parker on Paradise Pier. Where our day ended.

Day 2 was great, and splitting the day up was even better.

We decided when we go back next year that's how we will

do each day. Awesome day even with the attempted drowning.

Disney Land Day 1

Our First Day at Disney Land was amazing!

We arrived at opening and left

at closing!

In fact Parker starting talking in

his sleep this morning at

6am, saying DisneyLand Disney Land

Disney Land.......

Below: Parker in line at the Jungle Cruise, he jumped

pretty high when the piraña's jumped out of the water

Above: Parker with Mr. Toad, at Toad's wild ride. When getting

on the ride, Parker scared the operator half to death by stepping

forward before the cars came to a complete stop. It was a lovely moment.

Below: Nana and Parker in between rides waiting for me to fill our drinks.

Above: Me and Parker on the Matterhorn bobsleds

Below: Parker at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad,

his favorite ride so far.

Above: Parker at Tarzan's Tree House, where he fit right in

climbing on everything.

Below: Parker received his driver's license so he could drive

the cars at Autotopia. He loved this ride.

Above: At the Monorail that goes above Disney Land.

Below: Me and Parker, he asked for that lollipop all day!

Above: Parker and Nana in line at Space Mountain. After we came to

to complete stop on Space Mountain, Parker looked at me and

said, I didn't like that ride at all!

What's New

So the photos came in backwards because

I am just not the most talented blogger. Here is a blib of what

we have been up to. This is Parker and I putting

up our Christmas tree for the first time,

Parker was better at this than me.

Parker got a snowboard and season pass to Beaver.

He has been so excited about all of it,

I have no doubt he will be pro one day. He is a natural.

Family photos done by Jeremi Broadhurst.

Who did a fantastic job with not just my photos but our entire

family including two dogs.

I ran the Nike Women's marathon in San Francisco.

I was fortunate enough to run the race

with two very awesome women.

Megan Kenney, and Jo Seely, Meg even ran

the race pregnant. Go Meg you rock!

Black Hawk Time

Aunt Mandy was in town last week. She went to campus to visit the ROTC,

her old stomping ground. After telling everyone what she does

now, fly black hawk helicopters, they invited her to watch

the helicopters land by the Hyper Building.

She thought it would be fun to take Parker, so she picked him up from school.

Confusing everyone at school, because it looked like mom, but wasn't

Parker's mom. Anyway here are some of the photos of Parker

Climbing all over the helicopter. He loved it, and continued asking

the pilot if he could go for a ride in it.

BUSINESS WEEK 2010

Monday night we put on a charity concert.

Kalai came and put on a sensational

acoustic set. The concert was free,

Texas Road House sponsored

$1 pulled pork sandwiches. We had over

1500 people show up to old main hill.

Raising $2,500 on Monday night alone.

Tuesday night we had our first annual

"Last Dash Relay"

It was 10 mile relay race. You could run

it as a team of two or solo. So I grabbed all of my favorite

running buddies, and we decided to run the whole thing

solo. It would be great training for San Fransisco.

I was also lucky lucky to have

my sister in town for this event!

Starting from the left, Megan Kenney, Miranda Gahn,

Kelly Olsen, Me, Kari Soderquist.

We had an awesome turn out for the first year.

We raised over $2,000 with this event!

It was such a fun challenge

and a great introduction

to things I want to do in my career.

This last week was business week for

The Huntsman School of Business.

I am now an intern for our director of marketing.

He is the sole reason we were able to

do what we did with business week this year.

Since I was his intern, I worked very

hard to help business week come alive, and overall we

succeeded amazingly.

Not only did we put on a week full of outstanding

events, we raised over $9,000 for the

Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Here are some photos from the week!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped me

during this week! My friends and family were an

amazing support and I could not have been involved with

something so amazing, had everyone not supported me!
