Elizabeth's Day

On May 5th Elizabeth had a birthday! We had to celebrate, so we headed over to Magic Kingdom to ride some rides and watch Wishes (which is her favorite firework show at Disney)

Here we are on the monorail heading into Magic Kingdom. We were very excited. We tried to monorail surf and just messing around. It was all fun and games, then people got onto the monorail with us. Being just hyped up we still messed around. There was an older couple that got on that we started talking to. They were getting a kick out of us, they said we should get payed to ride the monorail and entertain people. 

 Elizabeth holding on for dear life as we sail on the highway in the sky.

 Not wanting anyone in our same car.

 Let the Memories begin! A start of a great year for Elizabeth!

 All three of us

 In front of the castle. I was trying to take a picture with my excellent talent of the one arm camera picture taking technique, but then the Photopass guy that was there offered to take the picture. It was funny. He said it was Facebook profile picture worthy. We were suppose to add him as a friend and tag him in it, but I couldn't find him. oh well...

 Messing around in the Swiss Family Treehouse

 At the top of the treehouse we had an awesome view of the castle so we stopped to get a picture with it.

 Posing for a cute shot 

 Dianna was trying to get a picture or jumping, but my camera could not do a flash when I was on multiple picture taking mode and it was getting dark, so this was the best picture I got. next time.

 Elizabeth was scolding Dianna for some reason, I don't remember now, but it makes for a funny picture.

 All of us. I love this picture!

 Elizabeth was messing with her hair, and I happened to be messing with my camera, so this is the end product of those happening at the same time. I still think she is hot in the picture though.

 Dianna wanted to jump in on the random pictures

 Here is our skipper for the Jungle Cruise. She was good. Probably on my top ten favorite Jungle Cruise skipper list.

 Next we headed over to the Laugh Floor. Elizabeth loves this attraction.

 Just waiting to be let into the actual Laugh Floor part.

 We had a really good view of the Fireworks. It was such a good night! Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

One More Disney Day

I know this is really late, but for leap year this year Disney did 24 hours of Disney. Meaning, Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland in Anaheim, California stayed open from 6am on February 29th to 6am on March 1st. And I participated!!

We had a goal to do every attraction that is on the map of Magic Kingdom. Here I am on the Speedway in Tomorrowland

We found PUSH in Tomorrowland also. If you don't know what that is, PUSH is the talking trash can that wanders around Tomorrowland.

We had to go to the parades too, we were a little less then enthusiastic for this one parade. I think the early late night/early morning was getting to us and it was only noon. We still had a long day ahead of us.

Here we are on the Magic Carpet ride in Adventureland

 Katie held the camera out on Splash Mountain in Frontierland. I love this picture so much!

 Playing on Tom Sawyer Island in one of the caves

 Elizabeth taking a self picture in the scary caves 

 Katie's turn, it looks like she is a monkey hanging down from the roof of the caves.

All four of us. The funniest part was in the caves Emily and I were together and Elizabeth and Katie were together are Elizabeth and Katie were going to try and scare Emily and I, but we ended up scaring them instead! 

 The first time we went on the People Mover in Tomorrowland

 Emily was being bad so we put her in the stocks.

 Here we are around 1am on the People Mover in Tomorrowland for the second time for nap time.

Katie and her nap

Emily on her phone, sort of, not really paying attention.

We wanted to see some characters. Here we are waiting in line.

Tinkerbell

Next the princesses...Cinderella

Sleeping Beauty

Our pins and the castle

Elizabeth and the cars they had on display

My turn with the red one!

I wanted to drive this one home

Elizabeth!

All in all it was an awesome day! We were able to get everything done! 6am to 6am! The last few hours were the worst. and it sucked that the after I got home from this fun day I have 2 hours and then I had to go to work.
One More Disney Day!

One Year Pin

One year ago today I got part time at 

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon! 

I received my pin today to let everyone know that I have worked for Disney for one year. 

I wear it on my name tag. 

Now everyone knows how awesome I am!! 

Bread Bowls and Soup

My roommate Dianna wanted Broccoli Cheddar Soup a few weeks ago, so I made it for her. It was really good. The other day she turns to me and says "If I bought the ingredients again would you make that soup again?" Of course I said yes. We went to the store and got all the ingredients and while she was at work I went to work in my favorite place, the kitchen. I am so content to waste all my time in there. I wanted to try the soup in the slow cooker this time to see how it would turn out. Also I wanted to make bread bowls to but the yummy soup in. So I made my really good french bread recipe, but this time added some whole wheat flour to it to see how it would turn out. It turned out really great! I love not having to do dishes and being able to eat my bowl! Check out the soup for yourself, but as for the bread bowl I am keeping that recipe for my future bakery!   

 I pureed only half of it this time and that worked out really well. I liked a little chunkyer soup.

The final product!! YUMMY!

But Its an Onion...

I have been home a lot recently because I am only working part time, so I have been able to do a lot of crafts, cooking, cleaning and reading. Some of my cleaning has involved cleaning out the fridge. My roommates and I have been sharing food (more like they buy the ingredients and I cook it, which entitles me to get to eat it too) So I know what food has been there for a while and who has what in there. I have therefore deemed myself the fridge garbage disposal. The other day I found four onions that had not been claimed, so I wanted to do something with them and that means heading to pinterest for a recipe. I found these healthy onion rings! I was sold! The first time I only made one onion. They were so good!! I devoured the whole onion! The next time, which was last night, I wanted to make them again. I had three onions left. One was going to be for a soup I was going to make so I decided to make onion rings from the remaining two. I put on a movie to entertain me while I was making and eat them. I took a plate with some on it and ate some. A while later I went back for more. Then some more. After the movie I realized I ate all the onion rings! I just ate two whole onions!! When I told my roommate about it she said they were the size of an apple so it was like I ate two apples, but THEY WHERE ONIONS...anyways. They were good! Really good! Needless to say they were so good I didn't get a picture of them. Maybe next time. Until then, try them out for yourself. HERE is the recipe for them! 

Happy Baking!

UPDATED!!! PICTURES!

Homemade Nutella Twix Bars

Twix are my favortie candy bar of all time. I may change every once in a while, but I always come back to Twix. So when I found a homemade recipe for Twix I was so excited! I got some of the ingredients the other week but never made them, that is until today! They are so good! My friend was over and she helped me. The best part is I made my own caramel too! 

The caramel was a microwave caramel, so it was so easy and fast. Here is the recipe for it.

Then the fun part, the Twix bars!

This is the end product, I forgot to take picture along the way, sorry.

The website that I got the recipe from was better at taking pictures along the way though, so it will be better!

They are called Nutella Twix Bars

I hope you enjoy them as much as I am!
