CALIFORNIA!

Back in April we decided to go to California. Go to Disneyland and the beach and stuff. So we payed for our condo and everything. But after we moved we debated if we should go or not. But things were already paid for so we went. I am so so so glad we did. It was really fun. A very needed vacation for all of us.

The first 2 days we were there we went to Disneyland. Then we went and spent a day at the beach it was really nice. We could see dolphins out really close to the beach. I saw one so close to Chris I swear if he reached out he could have touched it. Noah just loves the beach. He chases sea gulls, digs in the sand, gets wet, becomes a sea monster with sea weed. What else could a boy want. The girls also like it too. Just not to that joyous extent. He is in heaven when we get there. Izzie enjoyed it too. She was sticking her hand in the sand feeling it and I was looking out at he other kids and looked down and apparently she likes the taste too. She was eating it- oops. At the end of the day we rented a beach bike for four and our family of six got on it. We rode up and down the beach I thought it was fun, but Chris didn't really because Izzie got hungry during our ride so I was busy feeding her and couldn't help peddle and the only other one that could reach the pedals was Allie. Poor guy towing 5 other people around. I laugh just thinking about it.

Then the day after the beach we just spent the day at the condo. The condos we stay at are nice because they always have activities planed for kids. So the kids got to play games in the pool and in the evening it was kid movie night and then they got free games in the arcade.

Then the next two days we went back do Disneyland. It was so fun this year. Allie and Noah usually are scared of rides and have a hard time enjoying there selves. But they did great this time by the third day they were going on every thing they loved space mountain, Thunder mountain, the Matterhorn. But they didn't even try Splash Mountain, but that is totally fine with me I am just glad they pushed there fears aside and had fun. Katie on the other hand would go on anything from the first day and absolutely loved it. She was our ride buddy. Because Chris and I would take turns staying with Izzie and any kid that was scared. But most the rides we all could just go on. The last day was the day they start the Christmas stuff so we saw the Christmas parade and we watched the other shows too. Like Fantasmic and the fire works and they make it snow after wards it is so cool. They make it so magical

Some of the new stuff is cool. The finding nemo ride, toy story ride (California adventure), talking with crush was really neat even though I was in the very back feeding Izzie. But he talked to Chris and Allie.

The weather was great, the lines were short. I didn't want to come home I think I might just live there. hehehe

We moved again!

Yes again- We moved in with my mom. We decided that we would move in with her and save money. So we can get a house again. Our house in Washington still has not sold. Chris also left the partnership he moved here for and is out on his own now. So things are really strapped as you can imagine.

Halloween!

Alright first I have to gripe just a little. On Halloween day the kids went to school. But they couldn't were there costumes to school. (dumb) The reason behind this is the school doesn't want the kids to ruin, loose or get there costumes dirty. So they take them to school and change into them like a hour and a half before school is over. K- for anyone that has kids If they take it too school and change there they are more likely to loose brake or even rip there costumes. Then if they just start out wearing it. If it gets dirty does it really matter they are just going trick or treating latter and that's the fun- to wear it all day.





Ok I am done now I just thought that was really silly.





Well on Halloween I went to the school and watched there little parade. All the kids were so cute. It was fun there was a kid dressed up as Barack Obama. It was fun.





Then Calley's family (cus we had to trick or treat with baby Kade he was raggedy Andy with Izzie who was raggedy Anne) and Chris's parents came over and we went trick or treating. Chris's dad dressed up as a girl for work trying to win the $50.00 award for best costume. He went trick or treating dressed up it was funny. He got a few comments and he just played along it made me laugh.

Hats

K- so my mother in law makes these really cute hats. I love them and she is making me a bunch in different colors. I had the flowers already that just clip on to them. If you are interested let me know I think she is selling them for $10.00. Also the flowers are pretty easy to make so if you don't have any I could probably make one.

So funny of a pic

FOOTBALL!

No, No, No not the BYU V.S. UT football game that everyone has been talking about. But this year Noah wanted to play football. He wanted to do the helmet and pads and everything. But knowing Noah he usually wants to do something and once he starts he doesn't want to do it any more. I think it is because he has to follow the rules and play the real game. So I wasn't willing to fork out the moola for that kind of football. Sooo I let him do flag football. And he loved it, I am so glad. He did really well too. It was really fun to watch.

I honestly didn't get that good of pics. But these will do.

I am so proud of him. Not just because of football but he is starting to find himself and doing a great job at it. He is doing great in school and reading so well. He also has such a great confidence in himself. He cracks me up cus he will come home from school and tell me " Ya another girl fell in love with me today" Like everyone should just be in love with him. Well for anyone that has known us since he was a baby they would know how worried we were about him. He socially wasn't were he should have been and the doctors thought he could be autistic when he was two. I honestly am so grateful for such a wonderful very energetic little boy. I thank my heavenly father every day for blessing me with my wonderful little boy.


Next year I might just fork out the moola for REAL football.

State Fair

Well when I was in Washington relaxing and having a great time with my friends. ( Yes clear back in August) My family went to the fair. It looked like they had a ton of fun. Thanks to my mother- in -law I have the pictures for memories.

OK-- SOOO I HAVE BEEN SLACKING!!!

Well so so so much has been going on and passed by. I haven't had time to blog. But since I am going to make this a book every year for us. (It's an awesome thing since I really really hate to scrape book.) I need to catch up on some things. So sorry for all of you that like to read. Some of you may get bored with some of what I have to post.
