Crashing Disneyland!

It was time, yet again for another Scanlon trip to "The Happiest Place on Earth!" My Dad needed to go to California for some business, so he sprung for plane tickets and hotel for us too. We went over President's Day weekend and we had a great time-besides the fact that Kyra had a double ear infection, Allie was sick and Emma was angry that she was too big to ride in the stroller.

My Dad had knee surgery just before this excursion, so he was in a wheelchair the whole time-but that's okay, because Kyra had a great time chilling! Especially on Monday, when it rained buckets-they huddled together under the umbrella that Jason (thankfully) thought about bringing.



We were able to visit the new Pixie Hollow-and let me tell you the hour wait was a treat. The girls thought it was worth it though to meet Tinkerbell.



With Emma and Allie getting older, the rides were a lot more fun. Allie was tall enough this year to go on the Matterhorn, which we went on twice and Emma tried the Tower of Terror. She did NOT like it. (Just a side note for all you Twilight fans. Tower of Terror is based on The Twilight Zone. Well, Emma is learning to read and saw that I had the Twilght book. She said "Mom, that is a scary book." "No it's not sweetie. It's a romance story. It's called Twilight, not Twilight Zone." "Oh. What's it about?" "Well, it's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire." She then shook her head in disgust, "I TOLD you it was scary.")

It was a great trip, full of fun and rain! Going on "It's a Small World" just because it's indoors is one of those things that create memories-that and Joan buying 10 bags of popcorn for 6 people and a baby to eat. :)

A Moment to Enjoy...How Cute They ARE!

I just had a few fun pics laying around and I thought I'd share them. I just love my girls and have so much fun with them! And I love how Kyra wants to be just as big as her sisters. The girls loved playing in the snow this winter and Allie remembered too much of "A Christmas Story" and started yelling "I can't put my arms down" when I got her dressed up! She even made me try to push her arms down and she'd pop them back up. :) After every bath or shower, the Emma and Alliehave to have turbans put in their hair! And Kyra, of course, needs one too!

Twinkle Toes

On June 14th, Emma and Allie were able to demonstrate how skilled they have become in dancing lessons this year in their recital. They danced to the Wonder Woman theme and In The Navy by Men at Work. Anyway, the point is, they looked so cute I just had to show you too! I'm working on getting video footage of their dances so you can watch. Obviously, I still haven't learned rotation yet . . .

Philosophies of Emma

So Emma is already talking about what she wants to do for her birthday in July. She wants it to be Princess and the Frog themed (a little funny, since that's sort of what Allie had). Anyway, has it very specific in her mind. E: I want Princess and the Frog, and I want to invite only girls. M: Alright hon, that sounds fine. How about we talk about it closer to your birthday? E: Except, I want to invite Uncle Ty. M: Okay, but I thought you wanted to invite only girls? E: Well Mom, we will need a FROG! So to my sweet brother out there. Thanks for being such a great frog, from birth until now! (For those of you who don't know, he had jaundice so bad at birth that he was green...)
