They're Tall and I'm Small

I stick out like a sore thumb in the Vance family. Im surrounded by tall super model type bodies and I stand a whopping 5'2" on a good day. I had set a goal as a young girl that I would marry a tall man who could give my children hope for a better life, a taller life. Ladies and Gentleman, I have been successful. With that also comes a tall family. Sure jokes fly around my height. Sure I get asked if I am able to reach a certain item. Sure its always made sure I can be seen in photos. I kinda like this family I married into. They kinda rock my world. I couldnt ask for a better one.

The Vance Family took a trip to Disneyland( only my favorite place on the earth) this past week. It has been a long time since we have ALL have been together in ONE place at the SAME time(all 24 of us to be exact). Mom Vance and I made super adorable shirts for each member of the family and we wore them to on our Disney Day. This is Presley's second time to Disneyland and this time was more fun with her for sure. She LOVED Jungle Cruise. She kept pointing at all the animals and laughing. She wasnt so enthusiastic about Pirates until I started pointing out the animals and singing the song in her ear and laughing. The carousel was a success for about 3 times around and then after that... not so much.

Have I mentioned how HAPPY I am to have Zach back? Cause I REALLY, REALLY am!

Pretty intense that carousel ride. Judging by Andrew's face they must have changed the speed or something.

On Wednesday we headed over to Laguna Beach where we basked in the sun and played
(or bathed in Presley's case) in the sand.

Thank you so much Mom and Dad Vance for the wonderful family trip. We had so much fun!!!


I had to post this video of Presley we took last night. Sorry for the lighting/sound issues but It was dark inside and out and this was taken on my phone. Presleys favorite word is "NO" right now and she is CONSTANTLY waving and saying "hi" to everyone she comes in contact with. Its pretty much adorable.

Presley is such a doll. I loved watching her wave and flirt with everybody. I was just commenting the other day about the fact that we scored with you to come into the family.

Nothing better than a family vacation! Speaking of family... what's with all the questions on that video asking Presley if she wants a brother or sister, are you announcing something! ha

Hope all is well!
