A few things we have been up to.

Here is a picture of Katie trying on the boy's swim goggles. She really liked wearing these.

This is a picture from the bird nest we had this year. The kids loved watching the birds. It was fun while it lasted but they made a huge mess. I am glad they are gone. Plus it is nice to go out the back door with out a bird diving down at you.

One day while Katie was suppose to be taking a nap Jacob sneaked in to have some fun. He pulled all of the blankets out of his drawers and threw them in her crib. When I found them they were jumping up and down on all of the blankets.

Ben had a great time playing t-ball this year. His games were a lot of fun to watch.

Where did these come from??

Every time I download pictures from the camera I am surprised by what I found. The boys love to take pictures especially Ben. So every time they see the camera they take some pictures. Here are a few I found today.

A picture of Ben's soccer trophy. He was so excited to get this and most have felt the need to take a picture.

The new slurpy cups that John bought the boys the other night. Also very exciting seeing that they are transformers.

Here are a few from last week.
I guess Ben thought Jacob looked pretty funny sleeping like this.

These two are from Ben's T-ball game. I am not sure how Jacob got a hold of the camera and why John and I were not paying attention to what he was doing.

I love this self portrait.

What girl doesn't love red shoes..

A friend recently gave me a pair of cute red shoes. The shoes are still a few sizes to big for Katelyn but I figured I would hold on to them until she could wear them. Well the other day Katelyn found them and insisted on wearing them. She looked so funny trying to run around in these shoes that are way to big on her.

I wanted to get her picture but she would not hold still. I finally got her to sit down but every time I snapped the picture she would turn her head.

She finally had had enough of me and headed back in the house.

Blogging???

My sister sent me an email asking why I don't blog any more. I don't know maybe it is lazyness or maybe it is because I am too busy. Or maybe I don't have anything excited to blog about. Either way I decided to post two pictures from Easter. This should buy me some time to think of something more exciting to blog about.

Its a .....

Well for those of you that don't know I am pregnant with our 4th child. Today we went to the doctor and found out we are having another little girl. When we first told Ben I was pregnant his response was I hope it is a girl so we can name her Lucy. He has stuck by this since and would constantly talk about it. On the way to school today he was telling his friends we were having a girl and her name would be Lucy. He is pretty set on the name so I guess we will see what happens come August.

More on Disneyland

Now that I am finally caught up on laundry I thought I would post more about our trip.

First up is a video clip of Ben participating in the Jedi Training. When we first went and saw this Ben was not chosen. After the show he told us he really wanted to be picked. So we decided to attend one more time and hope Ben was picked. I told Ben he had to jump up and down and get really excited if he wanted to be picked. Luckily he was one of the last one chosen. I was getting very nervous he would not be picked.

The first day we spent in Disneyland. It was great because the park was not very crowded. So the most time we had to wait in a line was about 10 minutes. It was also very nice to be able to take Katelyn on the rides. This made for a much more enjoyable time for her. Although I will say that some of the rides made me nervous.

The second day we spent in California adventure. This did not have as many rides as the main Disneyland park but they still had a good time. This is a picture of the boys favorite ride. This was one of the few rides we repeated. The spinning made poor John sick so we had to take a break after the ride.

The third day we were back in Disneyland going on rides we missed the first day. Also we had dinner in Goofy's Kitchen. This was expensive but the kids really enjoyed it. This is my favorite picture.
I love how excited the boys would get anytime a character came around. Most of them they had no idea who they were but they would still jump up and hug them and say hi. Like here is one with Dale.

That night we also stayed for fireworks which were very impressive. They even had Tinkerbell flying through the air.

The fourth day we went to California Adventure and Disneyland. We repeated several rides. This was a crowded day so not as enjoyable as the other days. But still fun. Here is a pictures that summons up how we all felt after a long and very fun vacation.

Disneyland

Well it is Thursday morning and we have already enjoyed 2 fun filled days of Disneyland. The kids have really enjoyed it. Including Katelyn who had been able to go on almost all of the rides. Last night I told Jacob we had to go back to the hotel and go to bed because we have to go Disneyland tomorrow. He stared to laugh and said we have to go tomorrow. Here are a few highlight pictures.

Meeting Mickey

Every where we went Katelyn tried to climb through the fences.
