Presenting....Baymax!



That, my friends and family is, Baymax. Our new van! We have been a one car family for 9 years and 7 months, the entirety of my parents' marriage. We are done with that! Mom and Dad were kind of planning on trading in our beloved Mozzy, but when it came down to it, they decided not to part with him.

It was a fairly impulsive decision on their part. They have discussed the need for a van ever since they were pregnant with Iva, but have put it off. They knew it was probably going to be this year and then bam! Wednesday we were at the dealership test driving Baymax and we went home with him.

We were there for a LONG TIME. I had to take some selfies.


But man, do we love the van already. It's so pretty! Or handsome..or just luxurious. Heavenly. Terrific. Everything we could have hoped for. It is two years old and clearly owned by people who did not have kids. It's too nice still.


In this picture of Dad driving, you can kind of see the neat leather working on the steering wheel. It was done by the last owners and looks like a pain to take off, but it turns out we really love it. It's very well done and makes our van unique.


Here's to many adventures with you, Baymax! Be gentle on us in the gas mileage department, your brother, Mozzy, has been very good to us!

Spring Time Adventures!

No more Disney posts. We promise. Well at least for maybe six months. You just never know about us. The weather here in St. George was crazy warm in February and then it cooled off as March began (and we had that snowstorm), but now it is behaving more like typical spring weather. Just enough to make you think summer is here.

We had spring break from school this last week. Mom loves it. She doesn't want school to start tomorrow. Oh well. Only something like ten weeks and we are done!

We have played at parks.




Gone hiking with Daddy...



Mom just wanted a nice picture of us. We weren't being very cooperative, but we were being very silly.




We played on the tramp and our playset in the backyard.



See...more parks.


We even went to the lake! The water was FREEZING, but the beach was perfect. (Mom sunburned Iva!)



Daylight Saving can be rough in the morning, but we sure love our evening sun. We get to just keep playing and playing.


Mom tried to have us recreate her engagement photo session.

Best of Princess shots...Best of Iva Part 2!

Once again, Iva proved to be a pro at meeting Princesses! Of course, Cara and I were the real stars, asking questions and answering them! 

Mom loves this picture of Cara talking to Anna because it's obvious (to mom) that Cara is touching her own Anna braids hoping that Anna will notice!



We got to meet Anna and Elsa twice this trip! Lucky we were always wearing Frozen outfits!


When we got to go the Fantasy Faire and meet the other princesses, Iva really started to shine! Looking at the camera and everything.




High fives for everyone!



We were so excited to meet Mulan!




Can we just stop and say, is this not the most perfect Aurora you have every seen? Iva loved her. (If you look carefully we actually met two Aurora's and two Cinderella's...note from Mom.)



Also we met the perfect Merida. She was funny and loud and happy.

Best Character shots? Basically the Best of Iva...

Here are our favorite pictures of meeting characters! And when we say it's the best of Iva, we mean it. She was so cute with all the characters. You can tell she has been doing this since the day she was born. Mom was pretty proud of Cara and me. We actually TALKED to the characters and said things!





Iva loved booping the characters' noses! Especially Pluto!



These next two pictures aren't necessarily of characters, but it was a fun night shot with the tree at Pixie Hollow and of course, Iva's cheesy smile makes it.



And we forgot this family pictures of us in the snow when we met Olaf!


Doesn't this photo explain my mom and Disney?


See? A pro!



Meeting Thor was pretty awesome! The girls were kind of blown away.


Per Aunt Rachel's request, Iva kept squeezing his muscles. Hahaha!



These are our modeling shots. We are adding them to our portfolio. We are available to work anytime.
