We {heart} Disneyland!!!

Yes it is true we just went to Disneyland for the second time since October! We had so much fun! We were suppose to be going with my Dad this time around, but he was a party pooper and didn't make it! ( Just kidding Dad, but we really do wish that you were there!) So we decided that we would invite Richard's parents and his sister Mallory and her little family! We had a great time on our week long vacation mostly because we got to spend the whole week with Richard and without Richard's girlfriend......his phone people! It was so great to have Richard undivided attention for 1 whole week! It was great to not have any work phone calls! Our drive to Disneyland took us 1 1/2 days, we stayed in Primm NV. the first night! Primm is a small little place that looks like a miniature version of Vegas!



Here was our hotel/casino! It was good enough for us, but we were up and out of there early the next morning so that we could get to Disneyland!

We made it to the park about noon that day and the boys had there maps ready to tell us where we needed to go!

Me and Jack loved riding the horses! He loved going around and around!

We rode the little Train locked in a cage like a bunch of monkeys! The boys thought that this was great!

Grandma and Grandpa liked riding the horses to probably not as much as Jack though!

We went to a Hillbilly show with our teeth in tow! We didn't want to feel out of place!

I got some quality time with Richard!

We also got some quality loves with Daddy! Isn't this so cute even if it is a fuzzy pic!

Me and Jack got to meet Jessie from Toy Story!

We also met Jack's fav....Pooh Bear!

Jack couldn't get enough of him so he had to go back for seconds!

We got the whole family together for a picture with Mickey!

Jack checking out the mail situation in Toon Town!

Jacky and Daddy flying on the jets!

Grandma Princess had this Mickey Bag with her and Trey thought that it would make a good cape so he wore it all over Disneyland one day! People kept asking Richard were they could get one of there own!

We rode on Toy Story while Richard was gone to take Mallory to the Airport!

Later we rode the Chew-Chew train! I didn't think that this ride was too scary but Trey was just praying that we would make it out alive and Grandpa Stud was just screaming!

Trey wanted to become a Jedi so we headed to the Training Camp!

Getting his mind in the Jedi zone!

This is what your face will look like when you are to small to be Jedi!

But then this will come out........

and you will realize that maybe you are too little and your Daddy's armpit is alot nicer than you thought! ( Can you see Trey in the green shirt hiding his face?)

We rode the monorail around Disneyland!

Of course we rode buzz that is Jacks second favorite person at Disney!

Then we made the long journey back to our home where this happened!

The boys climbed in our nice cozy very missed bed, snuggled up and fell asleep! Don't worry we moved them to their beds so that we could enjoy it as well! We had a great time and it was great to see Richard's family! It was so much fun who knows maybe we will go back!

The Rocker Attitude!!!

Yesterday we had our friends Luke, Lisa and Gracie Bug over for game night! It was a ton of fun and the kids had a great time playing together!


Here is Trey giving Gracie Bug a hug good bye! I'm so glad that I got a picture of it because look how cute!

Unfortunately that is where the cutestness of Trey stops today because this is what I'm dealing with.......

Holy big attitude! I don't know what is with this kid but I'm ready to scream! He is really into thinking that he is a rocker! He will only wear jeans and he has to wear a rocker shirt everyday! It's driving me crazy! Now he has an attitude that would put teenage Megan to shame! What am I going to do with him! Today he screamed at me while my visiting teachers were at my house about how he wanted to watch a movie and right now! I was so embarrassed, he never acts like that. When did a teenager take over the body and mind of my little baby! I hope that he snaps out of it soon so that I don't have to deal with the teenage Trey for a few more years! I guess the universe is just punishing me for having such an attitude with my Dad! I'm sorry Father!!!
At least this cute little nugget thinks that I'm the most wonderful thing in the world and doesn't yell at me....yet! He is so stinkin' cute I just want to hang on to him forever! Jack has started to finally say some words! I forgot how cute it is when they first start to talk! He says mama, dad, baba, blankey, binky, drink, eye, Trey, Jack, ya, hi, bye, uh oh, and the other day he said Lenna (our niece)! I can't believe how much he is starting to talk since just a couple of weeks ago he wouldn't say anything! He is really good at all his animal sounds too! He loves dogs and when ever he sees one he starts going woof, woof! He is such a cute little guy, I'm not looking forward to him growing out of this stage! I don't want you to think that I'm hating on Trey and just loving on Jack! I love my Trey Baby just as much I'm just hating the 'tude!

Death of The Silver Bullet!!!

So our Insurance company called us yesterday to tell us that the Silver Bullet is a total loss! It is sad but the good news is that we got more money out of it than we thought that we would...alot more! So we are pretty excited about that! We were a little sad to see the car go, we have some good memories.........like both of the boys being brought home from the hospital in this car! But lets be honest Richard has hated this car from the moment that he got it! So we aren't to sad to see it leaving!

So I know that from the outside you might be wondering why it got sent to car heaven! It doesn't look bad right! Can't you just tell that Richard is so glad to see this car die!

Here is one of the tires! We are not sure what happened to the hubcaps they are probably swimming in the lake!

This is were the problem was! The engine was completely full of water and all of the salt water that was in there corroded the engine!

It was so nasty inside it stunk and was just full of salt and grossness! I felt so dirty after we cleaned it out!

Well there you have it! We will now be a 1 car family for a bit until Richard gets a new work mobile! It was really funny when we went to clean it out Trey asked me why we couldn't just put a band aid on it! I what a clever little guy a band aid fixes everything but I think that a new car will be better!

The Crash of Silver Bullet!!!!

So two posts in one day! This weekend Richard had to go to Elko, NV. for work. He decided that while he was going that he was going to take two of his friends (Mark and John) with him and make it a man-cation! Or that is what I called it! They were coming back today and on the way back this is what happened......

Richard hit a patch of slush and it took his car into this little lake! I could believe it when he told me I honestly thought that he was joking but no he was serious! It was a tense couple of hours for him and us! Me and the boys didn't really know what was going on since my conversations with him were really brief and about insurance stuff! (He had to call and get all the info from me since his car was full of water) Luckily for us one of his other friends who didn't go was able to go and get them and they are on their way home now! Everyone involved is fine no one was hurt and we are so glad! I'm so glad that Mark and John were there with him! We are so lucky to have such a great friend Luke who went to pick them up so that I didn't have to! Thanks to all of you and I'm glad that the only thing injured is Richard's poor little Silver Bullet! I'm sure that we will have an update as to what is going to happen to the little car so stay tuned!

Blast From the Past!!!

You guys probably don't remember but when Trey was the age that Jack is now, I posted this picture!


I thought that it was so funny that My little Trey Baby had learned this from his Daddy! It is weird for me to see this picture because he looks so little! And our Bathroom looks so different glad that I gave it a face lift!

Well the other morning I walked into the bathroom to do my hair and this is what I found!

An almost exact replica just a few years later and with a different baby! Isn't it funny the things that they learn! Jack has learned this from both Trey and Richard and it looks like he will be following in the same suit! This was so funny that I just had to share it with the world! Oh the joys of having boys!

I'm Feeling Crafty!!!

So yesterday while I was putting Jack down for a nap, I was watching T.V. and this lady was on showing how to make Burlap wreaths! The one that she was making was cute but a little too cute for my taste! So it said that she had a blog so I looked it up to see if I could find a little how to for a little something more my style. After I looked around for a few minutes I found it and this is what I produced......

I just love it! I wanted a wreath to hang on our door just for anytime not a holiday one! It took a hanger ,2 yards of Burlap and few flowers and I was done! I'm so pleased with how it turned out that I had to show it off! I'm feeling very crafty this week so who know what I will come up with next!

A Long Time Coming...

A little over 3 years ago I came home from the store to find that our family room was flooding! Turns out Richard had forgot to shut off the water to the outside faucets and a pipe had burst during the cold Cache Valley winter. Trust me hasn't forgot to do that since! The plumber came and fixed the pipe but also decided to put a huge hole in our wall! My wonderful Daddy came and patched up the hole but needed to wait a day or two before he finished it........
3 years later this is still what the hole looked like! My dad kept saying he would come and finish it. Then Richard said last summer that he would for sure finish it. Well I was sick of looking over in that corner and seeing the big white spot. So I the handy woman of this house took it upon myself to finish the job. I called my dad he got me the proper tools and I went to work!


And finally it is done no more white spot and no more unhappy wife! As you know happy wife happy life...right! I'm just teasing my dad and Richard I know that they are both very busy men and I appreciate them dearly for all that they do! But lets be honest it's a good thing that I'm as handy as I am!

In other house news I finally decided what to pair with my little tree at the front door and I just am in love with it! I went and picked out a bunch of ball that were made out of twigs and moss and the white one in the front is actually made out of a tree branch. I love them and I'm loving the tree!
