Before we were sick we went and got us some cuts.



My baby boys aren't looking like babies anymore. Which only plays into my baby hunger.
The fish tonight was so cute. He has been calling me "Daddie" all this week. He was patting his pillow for me to lay down with him. He is trying to talk so bad.

Then there is Thing 1 I just want to kiss his face off. It has been really hard to be sick. And his schedule is all messed up. He has struggled but really has been a great big brother during the "rough times".

What Still Sick????

Yeah Maybe we are. SO what?? LOL. Maybe we still have kids with fevers, runny noses, and die-a-rear. I have no voice, and getting winded going upstairs. It is awesome!

Back to School

Just started on Saturday. Yes Saturday it should be a sin but the CC I am attending does offer classes on the weekend. What did I finally choose to take?

Begining Photoshop
Creative Web Pages

Both are going to show me what I am missing in my "professional life" or what I call my professional life. I should call it my alter ego where I am "the boss" of at least one thing.

I can't wait to start designing and creating a "portfolio" that is going to be so "TIGHT" I am noticing a trend of race and gender that are Graphic Communication majors. Interesting.

I got so excited when I came home from my Photo class about some computer software. Help me I have fallen into a deep-dark upgrade world. I love my MAC even more -if that is indeed possible.

Sickness has its benifits

We are making some progress on organizing and rearranging things around here. I am almost ready to make the transition from the small room to the larger room for the kids.

We have some serious purging to get done. Anyone need toys?

Update randomness

I have decided to come back. We'll see how that bodes with the things and the fish being sick.

Thing 2 broke her fever only thing left is the runs. The fish after he went throught the fever time he then had the runs for like four days and counting.

I have just felt like crap today. My stomach is gross.

My hubby just put internet on my phone so I can email and keep in touch like a fiend!!!
The kids are going stir crazy. I am ready just to get out since the weather has been so nice.

New baby News

My BIL just had a new baby. That adds another cousin to the one we just got in Dec. Congrats to the Family you all are keeping my baby hunger down to a minimum. And we hope all is going well.

So excited about the additions to the family!!

The phone is awesome and I can't tell you why I had one with out internet. It is awesome to get it on your phone people! Hopefully we can keep it.

Day three. Universal.




We went for a couple of hours to Universal Studios. There are some fun things there during Christmas. The Who's are inf full view with the grinch or as thing 2 calls him "the mean Monkey"

Thing 1 loved Shrek, and came away with a new fear of Sponge Bob Square Pants. Thing 2 didn't freak out but that is because the freaky little guy inside the suit didn't chase after her!!
LOL oh well I guess we won't be needing to get cable with Nickelodeon this year. :)Funny he really loved sharks.

I really think that if we go back we will do it when the kids are older.

Day two

We woke up early. Were dressed and ready by ten to get into the park. We had an I-Hop breakfast Thing 1 disappeared into the bathroom. Our table was in the back near said facility so it wasn't that big of a deal.... So we thought. The Band went to follow him.
As he describes it he saw. Sock, shoe, pants, shirt and underwear all yard-saled out on the floor of the bathroom. He had completely stripped in the stall. There wasn't anyone in there. But it did take a long time for them to emerge again from the bathroom.

We were across the street from the park and so we went in from there.
It was so fun.

We hit most of the rides and found that Thing 2 is an excellent driver.


Ok we saw this new attraction that was right by the rockets. It was fairy hollow or something like that. We stood in line for almost 45 minutes to see two- that is right two FAIRIES! No ride, no play place, nothing but photo opps with two---- FAIRIES!

Yes one of the faries was Tinkerbell. Still no consolation. I warn all of those that take their children do not fall into the "Fairy Hollow" trap!

Thing 1 was really excited to see the rockets. And finally we got him on them. My brother took him. Phew. I really hate those rides. They got off the rockets and I went over to see how he did. And he got off and said.
"Yeah that was cool, but not my favorite. Can we go and do the Dumbo ride again?"
We all laughed pretty hard.

He made it all the way up to the frount of the line of Snow White and heard some noise and totally bailed out.
They gave him a flash light at the last moment on Mr. Toads Wild Ride. It worked.
We went on Buzz light Year and the fish cried when he saw Zurg. But it wasn't that bad. Thing 1 totally loved it. Thing 2 loved Pirates!

Day One of the trip

We have been gearing up for this trip since forever. We made the mistake of telling the kids about it about two weeks before we went. I thought we would have some fun with counting down the days. They didn't know what we were in for.

Monday morning was filled with packing and washing laundry to pack in our bags. We snuck some gifts to give the children in a small checked bag. We had a friend take us to the airport. He was really sweet and I love his wife. She is the type of person I want to grow up to be just like. We got to the air port and ate some Cinnabon cinnamon roll, just before we hit the potties and boarded the plane. We were definately not in a big hurry.

On the plane I sat in the seats ahead of the three that were for my Band, and Thing 1 and Thing 2. I had the Fish with me on my lap. The kids pretended they were on the Little Einstien's Rocket and pretended to "blast off". Any one squemish abou the take off probably wasn't so happy about the gleefully yelling children, but it was only an hour and five minute flight to LAX. They dealt with it well.

We found our luggage. And I was mysteriously queezy after the flight. (I don't do to well on planes, trains, and any moving vehicle- one of pregnancy's gifts) The next step was finding my family.
I was ready to sleep and get everything settled in the hotel.

We found Grandma, Aunt L. and the three Uncles.

They were ready for the first taste of our Disney adventure.
So we dropped our bags off and packed ready for an evening of Fireworks and Christmas lights in the par.
This is what happened on the way from LAX to the hotel outside of Disneyland.









All were a bit overwhelmed with joy. When the Shuttle stopped we were all ready to party. When we were coming into the park and walking onto mainstreet Thing 1 was just so excited. There was that giant Christmas tree in the middle of Main Street.
Thing 1 quotes were.
"This is the fun of MY whole LIFE!"
He turned to the Band and said "Oh Dad I love you so much for bringing me here"
We watched the fire works. Thing 2 wasn't a fan of the big booms.
Then we hit the Carousel. From there it was to all the small rides that were generally empty. There was Pinocchio, and the Casey the train ride, and then off to the Dumbo ride. When we called it the heffelump ride it was better. Thing 1 hated Dumbo the movie because the Mama elephant went a bit crazy and started spanking those naughty kids.
The Band and The Uncles went to the other side of the Park and did the big kid rides for a bit. Then it was about 11:00pm and we were exhausted.
We headed back to the Hotel that reminded Aunt L of Santa's Village in the San Berdino Mountains.



Catch up time:)

Oh do i have some catching up to do! Get ready for some serious posting today. I have all the stories to tell and all the details to get down on the blog before I forget them.

Let's start with the Christmas vacation. We left town on the 22 and came back the 27th. I have so much to blog.
