And his very tall children at the Bellagio Gardens. Andrew actually ran into the mix of the Anae family, he literally ran into one of the kids legs while he was trying to get lost. We were forgiven because Andrew was wearing a BYU sweatshirt.

Last Night
We saw this guy

Surgery Scheduled
Eddie will be having surgery on Monday October 27. Dr Manning and his staff has been very helpful and are giving us a big discount.
I think I've been inspired for Halloween costumes for us as a family.
I think Andrew will be
I'll be
And Eddie will be the patient.
What do you think?

Disneyland Day Two Part II
Wow, do you think they're related?
I think the teacups was his favorite ride.
Paige was not so thrilled about Dumbo, actually her reactions to the rides were not nearly as gratifying as Andrews.
Trying to be crowned ruler of all Disneyland and AAALLL England.
"Well, you're not a princess, but you'll do."He stood in Alices arms for about a minute, but he wouldn't go near the mad hatter!
We headed over to California Adventure for the second half of the day. We rode the coaster, soarin over california, the toy story game/ride (so awesome), and the water ride (I was soaked after that), and Andrew managed to get away from me, and run thru the exit of the carousel, he just about gave me and the ride attendant a heart attack, and then he got to ride on an "ish"
Andrew actually managed to fall asleep on Autopia. It was about 7pm and he hadn't had a nap, not that we didn't try to get him to fall asleep, he was just having such a good time that he refused to close his eyes.
Disneyland Day Two
Eddie and I didn't have our camera the first day we were at Disneyland, so you'll all have to wait til Bridget posts, or sends me the pictures, to see what we did the first day we were there.
Patiently waiting and watching a movie til it was time to get dressed.
"Don't I look cute in my Minnie pjs?"
"I will make trouble given the opportunity."
Half way ready... and still waiting.
Moms have to get ready too
"Wait, weren't we here yesterday?"
"OOOO Choo Choo"
He left the ears on for about 20 seconds
"I love pretty princesses"
"OOOO here's another on for me to kiss"
"I have to kiss another princess? Ok, I don't mind"
"Ok seriously mom and dad, lets wait in line for that one again!"

Seeds
On Saturday Eddie came home itching to do SOMETHING, anything really, so I told him to figure out what, and we'd do it. So he went online to get some ideas and decided that we should plant some seeds. We went to Lowes and Home Depot, got all the supplies we needed to start out, and did some planting. Andrew really enjoyed it and it held his attention better than I thought it would.
Maybe we'll get some pretty plants out of it as well!

TAMN Moment
Please excuse my TAMN moment for a minute, I've just got to brag about my wonderful husband for a second! He knows how much I'm bothered by borrowing dishes from my mom until we get ours from England, he also knows how I'm annoyed that I don't have any house stuff. So for my birthday (its not til the 24th, but he usually can't wait to give me my gift) he got me house stuff and dishes! Awesome!
As we were unpacking the box, I asked him if he liked them, "not really" was his response. Isn't he so sweet?

About 2 Years Ago
Eddie and I took a trip to Switzerland, France, and Italy. To date, its the only trip (besides our honeymoon) that we've gone on as a married couple without our parents or Andrew. Sad I know! I've been reading my friends blog (American Dresdener) and it reminded me of the little trip we took. I've been finding myself feeling almost homesick for England, I do not understand this feeling AT ALL! But I have it, so I've been looking at pictures, and rereading emails I sent from when we lived there!
The following is a rather lengthy excerpt from the email I sent out about our trip.
Eddie and I spent Memorial Day in Paris. We drove down on Sunday night, parked near the mission home, and got the train into the city. We managed to go and see pretty much everything. We got one day metro cards so we could ride the metro as much as we wanted. We started out at the Opera House which had some weird "Cow Art" out in front of it. Then got breakfast at a pastry shop that Eddie frequented while he was serving in Paris, and then we went across the Sein to see the Notre Dame. Then we stopped at the Paris Institute building, so that Eddie could check on people he knew while he was there. We had a long conversation with the missionary couple and we got to call Ben Pollock. He is in an area in Normandy, which is an area Eddie served in too. When Eddie was there, the branch only had 30 active members, and now it has 93. From the Institute building, we went to the Louvre, which is huge! Walked thru the Louvre gardens to the square where the American Embassy is, got hassled by some gypsies, got back on the train and went to the Eiffel Tower. We went to the Moulin Rouge, which was disgusting! After that we walked up a huge hill to the Sacre Coure which looks out over the whole city. On the same hill is Monmatre, which is an area full of artists on the street painting the tourists. (Jaz this parts for you! When I was reading your blog I was thinking that you no longer look really "American" especially when you're standing next to your mom. I related the following story to another American woman I know who lives in France she said that I should take what the girls said as a compliment, apparently being mistaken for a non-American {even if its by fellow Americans} is flattering!) We overheard an interesting conversation from some American girls, who were talking rather loudly about how strangely I'd gained weight, til one of the genius' figured it out! I was eating a bag of whotsits, which are like cheetos, which probably sparked the conversation, it made me laugh. From there we got back on the metro, and went to l'Arc de Triumphe and the Champs Elysee. And that was Paris all in about 6 hours. We went to dinner at the HardRock Cafe, and Eddie was falling asleep at the table, so we went back to the car slept for a little while and then drove 6 hours back to Geneva.
The following is a rather lengthy excerpt from the email I sent out about our trip.We've been in France now for a couple of days. It's amazing. The Alps are beautiful. I would put an exclamation point, but the keyboard is laid out differently and I can't find it. The pictures are of a town called Yvoire, pronounced "eevwah." Eddie had the camera, and he didn't bother to take any pictures of people we actually knew. Yesterday we drove along part of the route of the Tour de France, which I thought was very cool.
We are staying with Eddies aunt and uncle, which has been kinda funny. There are three kids still at home, and even though their parents are English they speak mostly French, but because I don't understand they've been speaking a mixture of both. The youngest is 10 and he keeps forgetting that Eddie can understand him, so Peter will taunt Eddie in French, or make fun of him to the others. Which makes everyone laugh, and then they translate it for me. It's funnier in French.

We went to the Bern Switzerland Temple on Saturday. The session was in French, so I had a translator thing around my neck. I managed to find the few temple workers who didn't speak any English, which made it a very interesting day at the temple, and the baby kicked me thru the whole thing! Bern is in the German part of Switzerland, so when we stopped for lunch at McDonald's, we were ordering in a mixture of German, French, and English. McDonlad's in Europe, is way better than in America. It doesn't have the weird smell, and the menu is way better, and the fries taste different in every country.
On Friday Eddie and I went to Italy for lunch. Its a really pretty drive, and you go thru the Mont Blanc tunnel, which goes thru the Alps! We stopped for lunch in a town called Aosta, and had real Italian food! And we also went to Geneva for dinner with one of Eddies mission companions.
