Disneyland and Seaworld

My parents took everyone to Disneyland and Seaworld for a vacation, and all the kids loved it. They all had so much fun riding the rides. The boys both rode roller coasters for the first time and loved every second of it. Once they went on the fast rides I had a hard time getting them on the other rides. Jaxson's favorite ride was California Screamin,which does a loop, and Carter's favorite ride was the Tower of Terror. They both loved Space Mountain and went on it many times, and every time they had their hands up in the air the whole time. Payton enjoyed seeing all the characters and loved riding Dumbo, Peter Pan, It's a small World and Nemo. Logan was the best baby ever and was so easy. They all loved Seaworld and had fun seeing all the fish and the Killer Whale Show. It was such a fun trip and it was great to be with everyone, and the kids had so much fun. Thanks again mom and dad for another great trip!!

Payton loved the maps and she loved her Grandpa. Most the time she would not even come to Chris or I, she just wanted Grandpa. Thanks Dad for chasing her all around both parks.

Our Very Own Jedi's

On our first day at Disneyland the boys got picked to do Jedi training. They loved every second of it and have not stopped talking about it since. Carter got to fight Darth Vader and Jaxson fought Darth Maul and they both defeated them, or so they say. At the end they got certificates that said they were Padowans and they are convinced this is true. Jaxson can even recite their little oath and he does every chance he gets. They both really loved this and they got to do it with their cousin J.T. so that made it even better.

Snow Time

The time has come and there is snow on the ground again. This is my least favorite time of year it is freezing outside and changing the kids in and out of snow clothes five times a day gets old really fast. They love it and can't wait to go out and play in it I just can't understand how they stay out there so long.

I love this pictures of Carter he was excited to go out and play in the snow until he got hit in the face with a snowball and then the fun was over.

Gerald is Back!

Gerald is back and I don't know who is happier me or the kids. I can't believe how well this works they are on their best behavior when he is around. The first day he appeared I took the boys upstairs for baths and when they got out Jaxson pushed Carter and this was the conversation I heard while I finished getting Logan dressed.

Carter - "I am going to go tell Gerald"

Jaxson - "No!!! Carter I said I was sorry."

then Carter goes running down the stairs and I hear him talking to Gerald.

Carter - "Gerald Jaxson just pushed me he needs to be put on the Naughty list"

Jaxson is now crying at the top of the stairs and yelling down at Carter. "I said I was sorry and I am not going to be on the naughty list you are going to be on the naught list for telling on me."

I just love having this little guy around I don't even have to discipline anymore he does it for me and he can't even talk to bad this doesn't work year round.

Payton

Don't be fooled by these pictures I know she looks sweet and innocent but in all reality I think she might be even crazier then my boys. Payton is so much fun to have around she definitely keeps us all on our toes. She is not the quiet little girl that I dreamed of from the time she wakes up she is climbing on my counters, getting into the pantry, hitting her brothers and yelling at anyone that is not doing exactly what she wants. She has also just learned to push the chairs from the table around the kitchen so that she can climb up and get whatever she wants. Even though she is crazy she is so cute and this is where she gets us she knows all she has to do is give us a smile or blow us a kiss and then all is forgiven this has been something we have had to work on it is amazing how quickly kids pick up on things. It has been so much fun having a little girl in the house it is fun to watch her grow up and change I am just hoping that since she is so crazy now the teenage years are going to be a breeze.

Carter's Surgery

Carter had to have his tonsils removed yesterday and he did great. He was so brave I could not believe it he didn't even look scared when they took him back. After the surgery we had to wait for 3 hours while they monitored him and he really enjoyed the t.v. that he could move right in front of his face he thought this was great. He was also a big hit with all the nurses we are in so much trouble his brown eyes seem to get him a lot of attention. When it was time to go we had to walk by the nurses desk and all at once 8 nurses turned around and were all saying look how cute he is he is so adorable and then Carter gave him a little smile and kept on walking. He is such a great kid and has been doing so good hopefully he will just keep getting better.

Best Cake Ever!

A few months back one of our neighbors brought us over a piece of cake from this place called Dipidee Chris and I are not real cake fans but this cake is awesome. So for my birthday all I wanted was a piece of cake since they don't sell just a piece Chris had to buy a cake and this is what $22 will get you and believe me it is worth every penny.
