Who Says We Have to be Responsible Adults

So this is the car I drive (the Blue Moose). . .

 

And this is the car Ryan drives (scout) . . .

If we were responsible adults we would have taken our tax return and bought new cars, but instead. . .

 

WE WENT TO DISNEY LAND!!!

We fully took advantage of Disney’s 5 nights and 5 days for the price of three and spent all of last week playing!  My mom, my little brother Isaac and my sister April came with us.  It was a ton of fun, and boy do I have some good April stories. (Kacie I know you enjoy the April stories.)

Really the plan with the car is to drive the Ford Taurus into the ground.  Which we pretty much expect to happen any day and we fixed our Honda so Ryan now usually drives it now.

One of my favorite moments at Disney Land was riding the Tower of Terror with my Mom.  She thought it was a haunted house and how NO idea it dropped.  It was hysterical.

Every one thought Ellie was Isaac’s baby .  Really they do look a lot alike.  Man he’s handsome kid!

Isaac and Ryan were my hero’s they pushed my Mom and April around in wheelchairs every where we went for five days!

Yard Work

Ryan and I have been spending every moment we can working in the yard.  Here are some before and after pictures of what we have done so far.  We have along way go to get it were we want it, but I think we have at least made some progress.

Here’s What we started with.

Here’s were we are now  

 

Spring Flowers

. . .10 weeks later

Here's a quick update of what we have been doing for the last 10 weeks.

1st me going insane. . .
Turns out Ellie has reflux and is pretty colicky. Thank goodness for medicines. They have helped immensely! She is pure girl though, she is moody, emotional and high maintenance, but she also the BEST sleeper at night.

Here she is having her hair done.

Her brothers love her to DEATH! Carson especially is CONSTANTLY kissing her, and hugging her and always wants to hold her.
All day I am constantly saying. . .please give her some space, you guys let her breath, she can't see you when you are that close to her face.She gets a little tired of the constant attention.


Ellie gave us a scare when she was catapulted from her car seat. Brayden accidentally knocked her over while we were shopping and of course she wasn't buckled in. I turned just in time to see her fly into the air and land face first on to the tile of the Kohl's floor. I was horrified. She had a huge bump on her head and her eye swelled up and turned black and blue. We ended up spending 6 hours at Primary Children's while they observed her and did a CAT scan. In the end though she was fine. I was literally shaking for almost three days afterwards.

Carson turned 6. Isn't he a hadnsome kid.
My nephew Carter REALLY liked the cake.


I did some decorating. I LOVE spring decorations.
Brayden went to this birthday party several weeks ago that was all about batman. They made these masks and every one got a batman cap. Ever since than he has been running around the house with his mask on and referring to Carson as Robin. . .Come on Robin, let's get those bad guys, is a common phrase. Carson's not so hip about being Robin all the time.

and Ellie learned to smile.
