This Boy!!

Adds so much fun to our house!

Mothers Day

Mothers day has taken on a new meaning these past couple of years. This year was nice. We had a nice early breakfast out and spent the rest of the day just hanging out as a family. It was my day to not change one diaper. :)

Part 2

Just some more pictures from our trip.

Surprise!!

Two weeks ago Jourdan and I decided to surprise the kids and take them to Disneyland. And by surprise I mean get in the car SURPRISE we are going to Disneyland!! This was the first time in years we had gone with just the 5 of us. In the past we either brought my mom or Jourdan's mom or Uncle Brent or we would meet up with our southern California family. We had so much fun the 5 of us. The weather was great and the crowds were ok. We did participate in the Disney give a day get a day so we were able to get special fast passes for the rides with long lines. It was well worth volunteering to save most likely hours in line. :)

This was Mady's shocked face. Notice Bella not looking very happy well she was under the impression we were going to the Zoo and was not happy (at first) to find out we would not be going to the Zoo. ;)
The restaurant in New Orleans square has some of the best food.

Ewan LOVED the train! I mean LOVED it! Both Casey junior and the big one that goes around the park. :)
He's pretty in love with Buzz also.

Papa Time!!!

Sunday dinner's have been at papa's house. We had a super yummy dinner last week. You should hear Jourdan talk about my dads cooking. He may have married me because of it. :)

Summer Vacation

We started our summer vacation this year in Disneyland. Aside from the crazy Disney crowds we had a great time! We got to enjoy 2 days at the park with all of my cousins. (I don't have many:) My 2 youngest cousins are the same age as the girls and LOVE hanging out with each other. The girls get mad at me when I tell them that the boys are my cousins also. They want them all or themselves. :)

Since we have been home we have spent our time swimming, eating, and sleeping. :)

Mothers Day

In honor of Mothers day I thought I would share this. I found this around this time of year last year. On the front it says My daughter is becoming just like me! Lucky girl! I had planed on getting rid of it (it wasn't my style) before I knew what was on the other side. I had completely forgotten that my mom had gotten it for Jourdan for his birthday. I know it seems like a weird gift for my husband but my mom's gifts sometimes were a little silly. Anyways on the back my mom had written a quick little note to Jourdan that I ABSOLUTELY love now! It says " Dear Jourdan, May you have many wonderful loving memories of laughter, humor, silliness, fun, and compassion with our fiesty, opinionated, excellent mother, wife and daughter Kirsten.

Much Love respect and compassion Cheri and JIm. 

I can not even begin to explain how awesome  it is to have in writing something from my mom. I am so thankful for all of my memories with her. ANd also thankful that I am "becoming just like her".  OK now that I am crying I need to stop writing about my mom. :-)    

I had a great mothers day with my kids. Madysenn was so excited to give me all 50 cards she had made. She even brought me breakfast in bed. Muffin tops with fruit. :-) We had an awesome  dinner at my dads house. And this is pretty shocking..... Got a picture with all 5 of us looking at the camera! Check out Ewan's cheese ball smile. :-) Happy (late) Mothers day! 

Date Night

Saturday night Jourdan and I went out for a much deserved night out. We went to Paul Martins with friends and had an awesome time. We so needed a night out. With work, school, music videos, Haunted houses,  and kids we have been two ships passing. It was nice seeing each other! Mady had fun taking pictures of us before we left. : ) 

We are home!!

We had a great time in Disneyland!
