Highlights:

 being totally surprised that Soarin was over AMERICA. Twas an emotional time. 

 also I get emotional walking behind my whole family at the airport with our luggage. Trying to take my mom’s advice & BE HERE NOW. So grateful for these trips that we get to be all together in a sweet little bubble.  

Michael tipping the woman who rented us our car & walked us to it. So grateful & shocked, she didn’t want to take it:) 

 We were woken up at 3 in the morning (our first night!) to a knocking sound that did not stop until we complained around 5 (another family had also!)  They texted us the next morning with an apology and 6 lightning lanes PER PERSON for us! The good kind. No planning, no timing & ANY ride! Even Rise & Peter Pan!! Twas so great! 

 Taking Asher to get salt & straw in the afternoon. He is the sweetest kid. So polite & also just hilarious. 

 Tiki room! It was at night with dole whips in hand, of course. Still very hot & humid day so it was the perfect little sit down moment with all of us. 

 Tiana at night. So good!!! Even Brian joined:)

 having a slow, fancy date at Paseo with Michael Joe

SEPTEMBER

 

Reading glasses for Noey this month! 

A back up pair for Sia too.

Noey makes me all my phone “charms”

Just trying on wigs…:) 

Went to the movies…by myself💜

Botox was a tad distracting but overall I did love how much the originals were in it & Nicole had some pretty hilarious moments. 

Awesome temple month. We did work for Michael Joe’s Avo who passed away last year. Noelle was baptized for her, Gwinna confirmed & then within the next 2 weeks I got ordinances done AND me & MJ went to get his grandparents sealed. SO cool. 

Coookie date with my gals. 

Sia’s teacher texted me to ask if she could do a quick video for “call back” auditions. She was giddy! Yes!!! She got URSULA!!! So exciting! 

Noelle’s prep for her lesson this month. 

Michael Joe’s fig trees are producing & they are so sweet & good! I am not even a huge fan of figs but these are the BEST!  He brought 3 in for me one day and I did not share! 

Finally got a runner for the stairs!

Such a fun little activity we did this month. “BOO”ed some of our amazing ward families. 

The girls were so loud & cray & even got chased by a dog at one house but it was a very fun & lively night😍
