PETE'S BIRTHDAY :)

PETE TURNED 27 ON APRIL 3RD. I KNOW HE IS GETTING REALLY OLD, BUT WE ARE NOT READY TO TRADE HIM IN ON A NEW ONE YET. WE GO ALL OUT TO CELEBRATE SUCH SPECIAL OCCASIONS. LISTED ARE A FEW OF THE FUN THINGS WE DID TO SHOW PETE HOW MUCH WE LOVE HIM....

• I TOOK THE KIDS TO SEARS AND LET EACH OF THEM PICK SOMETHING OUT FOR PETE (BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T DO ANY BETTER). HE RETURNED TWO OUT OF THREE; WE WILL SEE IF THEY CAN DO BETTER NEXT YEAR.


• PETE AND I GOT A BABYSITTER AND WENT TO TARGET SHOOT HIS NEW 45 HAND GUN IN THE RAIN.


• THE KIDS FILLED DAD'S CAR WITH BALLOONS AND THEN HID IN THEM TO YELL SURPRISE.


• WE WENT TO MESQUITE ON SATURDAY AND HAD DINNER WITH OUR PARENTS.


• WE CAME OUT AHEAD AT THE TABLES, AND I WON BINGO YEAH!

A special thanks go out to Kalli for staying with our kids so we could go away for the night. We love you Aunt Kalli!

Autumn & Sadie GO DISNEY!

Autumn and I went with Grandpa Brad
and Grandma Jan to Watch Aunt Kalli

Cheer at Nationals in California. We had
so much fun hanging out in the sun at

the beach, and we spent a whole day

at Disney, just the two of us. I enjoyed

this Disney experience so much that

I now have a goal to take each of the

boys on a solo trip to the Magic Kingdom!

Highlights.....

• Grandma Jan and Autumn buying a sea shell, hiding it in the sand, and then making Grandpa believe they found it.
• Autumn's little pink bucket full of shells from the beach.
• Autumn serving everyone food from the buffet.
• Having Autumn say after every ride (and at least an hour wait to get on), "That was worth the wait!"
• Watching Tinkerbell fly above the castle to start the fire works.
• Autumn went on BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN like a rock star.
• The smile on Autumn's face after she had blue butterflies painted on it.
• Our special meal of poptarts, apples, and chips at midnight.
• Watching Aunt Kalli cheer like a rock star!
• Dragging the traveling suit case with Minny Mouse, that Autumn had to have, six blocks back to the room at midnight.
• Having Autumn tell me, "Mom this is the best day of my life!"
