We went to Disney!!!! Day #1

My in laws took us on a trip of a lifetime a little over a month ago. It was an amazing vacation and though a bit exhausting we still found the much needed time to relax and refresh. I now know why Disney is called the most magical place on earth......

Day one was the airport, hotel and downtown Disney. The boys had never flown before, I was anxious as it was the first time in 10 years that I have flown. They did great!!




























We had dinner at Planet Hollywood at downtown Disney after some swimming and napping at the hotel pool. What a great first day!!

Happy 5th Birthday Wy!!

My baby turned five today.... And I love him a little bit more each and every day! He is an awesome kid, independent but he still lets me hold him and cuddle him up. Today he got a big kick out of him and I getting into a "sissy fight" while I was singing happy birthday to him.








These pics were taking at his party.....Owen was entertaining us white a pretty cool card trick. His deck was mostly filled with 3's of clubs!!!


My sweet boy!


I can't wait to watch him grow this next year..... He still has a little baby talk in his voice and I will miss that the most as he matures. Makes me want a third! They grow up too fast!!

Sick boy

My boy has had a cough for going on a week. We finally decided to take him in and the doctor heard a little wheezing.....so he is on breathing treatments every 4-6 hours at home until he's better. Hoping it's not anything serious like asthma and he gets better really soon!!

Yard work and girls nights out

We have a lot of yard work that needs to be done. Since we bought our foreclosure the outside has been very neglected. We worked so hard on getting the inside live able and like able that the outdoors were not on our list. But after a year we decided we better give our lawn some much needed tlc.

It was so beautiful last weekend and we all enjoyed being outside.


We taught O how to drive the tractor and he was a huge help to us!


And when mommy goes out the boys have fun too.....kris took them to our neighborhood park last weekend and they had a blast! Good daddy!

It's been a while....

Why is life so busy? I'm ready for a season of just relaxing and not doing much of anything......easier said than done of course.




My boy lost another tooth and got braces (not even sure I posted that)

He was so excited!!

Skiing!!!!

This past weekend we took a little vacation and had some fun. Thursday we headed up north and stayed overnight at great wolf lodge. It was a fun time however the boys decided they would prefer kalahari.....which both kris and I agreed!

On Friday we headed to crystal mountain where my parents rented a five bedroom condo for my whole family to enjoy. It was the perfect set up and everyone had their own space.



Wyatt and Katie get along so well and are so adorable!







The rest of the weekend we pretty much spent from morning til night on the slopes. I haven't been skiing in more than a decade so this really brought back some good memories for me as my family took all ski vacations growing up. We are hoping to make it an annual tradition.


The first day there it was in the 50's. Talk about an awesome time to ski! No layers needed and we were all so comfortable. It was so nice to enjoy this time together.



Owen and my dad skiing.


We signed wy up for ski school from 10-4 on Saturday. I'm pretty sure he was more psyched about the lunch and snack breaks though!


Here are the four younger kids.


We split up a lot. Here are me and my nephews on a chairlift.


And another run with aunt Julie, nick and Owen.


And aunt Julie and wy man.


And aunt Julie, uncle john and o man!


I had to throw this picture in as well. This was on the way home. We were in the car for no more than 20 minutes before they were fast asleep.


So much fun! Perfect weather, perfect company. So blessed!!

Cross fit kids

My sister started taking O to the cross fit kids class again. He loves it!

My brother in law sent me this picture yesterday so I was asking Owen about it. He told me that the owner, my brother in laws brother took the picture of him. And I said how cool it was and then asked why he took it, and Owen said it was because he had perfect form. So I followed it up with asking him if that's what the owner said, and he said no he didn't say anything, but why else would he take a picture of me?! My boy has no lack in confidence!!!
