Cousins Sleepover!

Every now and then we like to have Bonnie's kids, my neices, over for a sleepover.  This time we decided that we would take the opportunity to have girls night while the kids hung with Eric.  (He's a dear!)

There are 2 of them and they are a package deal cause the little ones just cant be left out.  Luckily they all get along really well.  I don't think Cameron realizes, or cares, that he is the only boy.  So this is what we came home to. 

8 is great!





HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY!

March 8th, 2011

HINT: IT STARTS WITH A D and ends with a LAND...

YOU GUESSED IT! We did it again. Disneyland is our ideal destination these days (ok years) and the opportunity arose in February. This time we shared the experience with our good friends, the Runias, and took the chance on driving our combined 7 kids across a few states to get some Disney fill!!!

Amazingly, outside of a little flu incident, a really messy car, and some seriously sore feet, the children all survived and the week was AWESOME!



ARE WE THERE YET????? (x about 476)





DISNEY DAY #1= RUN, RUN, RUN, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, GO, GO, GO, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ





DISNEY DAY #2= BREAKFAST WITH MINNIE AND FRIENDS THEN OFF TO WAIT, WAIT, WAIT TO SEE PRINCESSES AND PIXIES.





THE ONE THING IN COMMON WITH ALL THESE PICTURES= BRAIDEN STILL LOVES ALL THINGS DISNEY, DONT LET HIS TOUGH SIDE FOOL YOU.





JASMINE+MINNIE+GEPETTO+SNOW WHITE+ARIEL+RAPUNZEL+ TINK+ 6 VERY EXCITED KIDDOS= DISNEY MAGIC GALORE!!!!





I JUST THINK THIS LOOKS VERY DISNEY-ESQE!



DISNEY DAY #3= CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE, GIRLS ONLY LUNCH WITH THE PRINCESSES ($$$=OUCH BUT WORHT IT), MID-WORLD OF COLOR BARFING CHILDREN (bye-bye expensive Princess lunch), ALL NIGHT BARFING ME WITH CHILDREN= MISERABLE DISNEY DAY #4.



Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

OK don't judge me for the potential "inappropriateness" of this picture but walking past the bathroom on a regular basis and seeing Cameron's bare bum creates a sense of joy and elatement for me...YEAH! In early February, Cameron just decided one evening that he wanted to pee in the potty and outside of the occasional accident here and there he is now very much potty-independent. We thought it would never happen. I was at the point where I was trying to figure out what we would do when he no longer fit the biggest diapers they sell...Depends?!?!?! Funny how kids can surprise you.

So...for another 3 months anyway, we are a diaper-free household!!!
