...And We're Back

After a brief hiatus from the blogging world, we're back. These next few posts claim that they were posted by Michael, (it's actually Gail blogging here), Mike was already signed in the computer so it naturally assumed I was him. So I've realized I don't do a lot of blogging in the Summer, when we get home from our water/outdoor activities I'm too pooped to blog. So here's our summer packed into a few words, swimming, water slides, Classic Fun Center, Lagoon, Bear Lake...you get the idea.

Here's the latest in our world: We just went to Disneyland, (pics below), Mo has finally accepted the concept of potty training, (that makes for a much happier mommy), the kids are doing great in school, when Mo feels more like a veteran potty-user she will join her preschool class. We will also be getting a new pet, (a kitten) in the next few days, so watch for those cute pics. Bekah got her ears pierced, (pics below). Aaron earned his Wolf. Gail was released from the primary presidency and now teaches activity days, and Mike teaches the Bears in cub scouts, so pretty soon he'll be Aaron's leader. Our cluster of birthdays is also about to begin, so watch for those milestones in the near future.

And now a word on privacy. I've decided to go back to a Private Blog, so if you enjoy catching up with the Rimington's of the Michael and Gail variety, please email me and I'll send you an invite when I make this puppy private again.

Disneyland Take Two

We just had a really fun family vacation in Disneyland.

This was the second time we've taken our kids, (technically this was Mo's first visit because the last time we went she was only 4 months old and we left her with my mother).

Here are a few of our favorite moments.

Mo's first airplane ride!

Halloween in Disneyland!

Just look at that expression on Mo's face...it says it all! And it makes up for all the pictures she where she would strike a pouty face for no reason.

Mom's 2 fave's Goofy and Dug!!

The kids became Senior Wilderness Explorers and got to meet Russell! The wilderness must be explored!

One of the best moments of the trip - Mo getting out there and dancing with DJ in Cars Land. It was hilarious, we kept prompting our older kids to get out there and dance, but they wouldn't do it. Then we let Mo out of the stroller and she took off, ready to dance and join the party.

Our Map-Man!

Sugar Face!

"You shall NOT Pass."

Mo, patiently waiting for her favorite ride...wait for it...wait for it...The Tower of Terror! Believe it or not, she absolutely loved that ride!

Mo and her peeps!

The World of Color was nothing less than amazing and spectacular! Too bad Mo crashed right before it began.

I just fell in love with these benches in Bug's Land. I love the detail in Disneyland! Plenty to look at while you're waiting in line.

Speaking of lines...this is the kids on the most popular ride right now, The Radiator Racers, without the fast pass the line for this ride is over a hour long! Thank you Daddy for standing in the much shorter, much faster moving line to get the fast passes!
