Knotts

Every year Knott's has a promotion where law enforcement, firefighters and military get in for free (score!) So since it's too ghetto to pay full price to get in (are we in south central?) we take advantage and go once a year. Unfortunatly we chose the day where it was the last day of the promotion and the last day of thier toys for tots drive where people could get in for a whole 15 buckaroo's. So just imagine the crowd...bah it was soooo bad! Im not much of a complainer but man! It was amazingly overcrowded. So we went on a couple rides but mostly you just go to eat right? I swear thats all we did. Kettle corn and funnel cakes and Jhonny Rockets, they made it all better :) We took a fun western picture that I am too lazy to scan in my computer right now too. It was fun for Melia, the girl's a mad thrill seeker thats for sure!

Just pretend those stains are photoshopped out, I swear it didn't smell though.

You gotta draw the line somewhere, right? :)

I thought Melia would freak on this coaster but she laughed hysterically the whole time!

I was the only one that could take her on the spinny rides, what a bunch of twenty-something wusses... can't even stomach a couple spins anymore, geez guys! he he

Waiting for our food at Jhonny Rockets...meh easy, only 2 hours! We had to keep this girl entertained... not so easy :)

Santa was there hooray! Melia LOVED every time we saw him, I think 4 times before Christmas.

Auntie was OK with taking Melia on the ferris wheel... Auntie was not OK with Melia trying to rock the car and taking off her seatbelt at the top while waiting to come down... :D

Fun Day!

First Ballet Performance

Here she is... all decked out in her tights and tutu, looking like a star!

Smile Melia!.... Well ok that'll work too

Melia with her friend Mallory

Ok here she goes, all ready to show her stuff! She is going to be the best dancer out of them all, I just know it!

Uhhhh... ok well maybe not! Hahaha! Maybe next time!

More Birthday Fun

We took Melia to Disneyland for her birthday, it was hardly crowded and the weather was cooler and it turned out to be the perfect day to go. We didn't get there until about 3 in the afternoon and stayed the latest we'd ever been before. We left only because it got SUPER cold around 10:30 ish. Melia had a great day and got to do everything she wanted. It will be a sad day in February when our passes expire. I'm not sure if we'll be able to renew them but hopefully!

We stopped at the Rainforest Cafe for dinner...

This girl was SO excited when she figured out they were singing Happy Birthday to her!

When we got off Haunted Mansion it was SNOWING :)

We had a FABULOUS time. We went on Tower of Terror and the Toy Story ride for the first time, they were really fun. It's been nice not having to pay for Melia, oh well :)

I also got to see Melia sit in Primary as a future Sunbeam on Sunday. It was so cute and I can;t wait to go from a class of 8 boys and 1 girl to 5 girls and 1 boy! How different that will be :) I think it's so sweet that I get to be her teacher! My little girl is growing up!

Happy Birthday Melia!!
