5 Years

This last weekend Brian and I celebrated our fifth anniversary. I can't believe we've been married 5 years. We have had our ups and downs but I'm grateful to have a wonderful loving husband to whom I'm sealed for eternity.



To celebrate we went to Disneyland. We have wanted to go, just the two of us, ever since we got married and thought this we would be our last chance to go and not feel guilty about leaving Hannah at home (she only just starting to get interested in princesses, mickey mouse and all the Disney stuff). Thanks mom, dad and Gales for taking care of out little sweetheart.

We had a blast. I think it might be my favorite trip that we've ever taken. We spent three days running around Disneyland like kids.


We got these nifty badges that said happy anniversary so all weekend long everyone greeted us with happy anniversary and asked how long we had been married. It sounds cheesy but it did really make us feel special.

My first Mouse Ears.


We rode all the rides.


Space mountain is Brian's favorite ride.

Indiana Jones is my favorite ride (and the one we rode the most) but tower of terror is definitely a close second.


My brother Michael happened to be at Disneyland on a band trip the same time we were so we spent Saturday afternoon together and had a lot of fun and he willingly stepped in as our photographer.

I found out Brian is a crack shot. He only missed one target.

Brian introduced me to pineapple whip and coke corner, two Simmon family traditions.
Mostly, we just had a wonderful time goofing off and being together.


Hannah may have missed all the fun but we brought her back a sucker and she loves trying on my Minnie Mouse ears.

Happy Easter


What a wonderful easter we had this year. Saturday we had a great bbq and egg hunt in the park (thanks Alisa for putting it together). Hannah loved running around with her friends collecting eggs.





I wasn't sure if I was going to get Hannah a new dress for easter but I finally broke down and bought one and Hannah really loves it. She calls it her princess dress and twirls around saying "swish, swish."



Sunday we went to my sister's house after church for dinner and another easter egg hunt. Hannah always has fun hanging with her cousins.
