Taking Disney By Storm

Kristen, Delson, Kali and I went to Disneyland while they were in town, and we went on about 100 rides, thanks to all the fast passes and passing the kids off in long lines.  We had such a good time, and the kids were such troopers going on all the big kid rides that we drug them on.  We were geniuses to leave the littler ones at home so we could really focus on conquering the land of Disney!

Warning: Major photo overload ahead...

Best pic of the day on the submarine ride. 

 You can see the magic in their eyes.

Autopia

Kali was in heaven driving the car. 

I think I'll give her this pic when she gets her license one day. 

1 stroller with 2 three year olds = hundreds of pounds.

Star Tours

Tea Cups

Model moment.

Thunder Mountain.  Terrified the kids.

Watching the awesome parade.

This pic captures Kali waving to the princesses on the float. 

When they would wave back to her I think it was the most magical thing

 she ever experienced in her life. She still talks about it.

So much fun.  I miss my Christensens!

BFF'S

Last week my BFF Kristen came to town with her sweet little family for some playtime. They live 2 states away so I never get enough of them, and squeezed in as much Kristen time as humanly possible.

One day we took the kidletts to the beach in the wagon.

Kambria, Griff, and Delson

Kambria was rocking her sunglasses

Two moms, freezing, but so happy to be at the beach together at last.

Kali and Delson on the hunt for treasure.

I'm starting to sense that Griff isn't in to the whole "taking pictures" thing.

Best week ever!  More pics to come.

Charlie Girl

On March 7th my niece Charlie Grey was born. 

She is Erik's first child and she is sweet as an angel. 

We're so happy to have another girl in the family!

Girl cousins- Jordyn, Kali, and Charlie

Gross Things

This week I cleaned up a lot of gross things:

Mon. Kali peed her bed which I cleaned up
Tue. Griff took off his diaper in bed and then peed, which I cleaned up.
Tue. Lulu ate something and threw up, which I cleaned up.
Thur. Griff had a bad cough, and was coughing so hard during breakfast that he gagged and threw up his food.  I cleaned it up.
Fri. Griff put an entire string cheese in his mouth.  After he had chewed it up, he realized he couldn't swallow it all and spit it all out.  I cleaned it up.
Sat. Kali went potty in the toilet, and then filled it with about 15 baby wipes.  I knew it would overflow if I tried to flush it, so I had to pull all the wipes out by hand. So gross.
Sat. A bird pooped on me at the park. Yep, that's right. I cleaned that too.
That's my week in a nutshell.
