Here is another favorite disney picture in honor of our day. This picture was taken at Disneyland in Toontown. We took the boys to see UP today. And it was really good we loved it. It passed the test I think I cried three or four different times. Don't know what it is with the water works but if mom doesn't cry it isn't any good. And that keeps it open for a very wide range of movies. It was a very good movie though. We saw it in 3D. It has been a busy week around here with the kids getting ready for their last week of school. They are very excited mom and dad not nearly so much. But Craig and I are going to Seattle next weekend without them for a week and that should be fun. We are going to swing by Forks for a day while we are there. I can't be the last member of my family to go.



This picture is from the days when Jacob was so in love with Snow White. Most of you probably remember that he told everyone that she was his girlfriend and he was going to marry her when he grew up. Don't know what happened he has completely forgotten about her now. He found this picture only slightly amusing and doesn't know why he would have wanted to wait in line for her autograph. Kind of sad it was very cute. I guess he is growing up. Now he has a huge crush on Carly Shay from icarly. I think I liked snow white better. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and thanks for looking.

Poor Zach he and Jacob get along most of the time but when they don't Jacob still resorts to crying to try and get his own way. Partly my fault cause when he is sick I let him get away with it and we all try to keep him happy. And then when he is better we expect him not to do it. Now I am trying to break him of the habit. Just about the time we get him where we want him its another round of steroids and we start all over again. Next time I am going to try and not be that way hopefully it will work. It's hard but I know it is for his own good. This picture is an accurate view though of how Zach still looks at Jacob when he cries. It is kind of funny.



I think that this is a cute picture of a happier moment. Can't believe how little they once were. Jacob picked out both of these pictures although he couldn't figure out why Zach was looking at him funny in the top one. Go figure. They are both really good and Jacob is very loving and affectionate when he isn't having one of his moments and those are coming less and less as he gets older. His new favorite game is hug bug where Zach prefers slug bug. Jacob isn't so good at spotting a correct bug though but when he is giving you hugs who cares right? They are both a lot of fun and we have had a great weekend together so far. We aren't accomplishing as much as we had wanted to. Craig and the boys were going to spend the day yesterday working in the yard but we got side tracked playing with them and before we knew it the day was gone. But looking at these pictures I realize how quickly they will be grown enough that they will no longer want to play with their old mom and dad. And we will no longer remember that the yard went two weeks without being mowed we will just remember playing. I think I would rather play. Hope that everyone else is having a super great weekend and remembering to take a little time out to play with those who matter the most we love you all. Thanks for looking.

This picture is in honor of the birthday boy. Jacob picked it out the other day to add to the blog. He thought the balloons rabbit ears were funny and of course he was in it also. But this one has daddy in it and today is his birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY. We love you. Hope everyone is excited about the big holiday weekend we are. Nothing much planned maybe some picnics and a lot of family time. Maybe the boys and I can finally finish Fablehaven. Craig has set up a balloon blog for work so if you are interested you should check it out theballoonguru.blogspot.com. Hope everyone is doing good and have a great weekend. Thanks for looking.

No new pictures today but here are some favorites. More disney magic. Zach's class went on an all day field trip today to the museum of natural history and the museum of fine arts. I got to go with and it was a lot of fun. It was a big day though two museums in one day. This did make me so greatful that I am not a school teacher. I have no idea how they do it. We did have a lot of fun and I was very surprised at how smart the kids are. I also learned some very interesting things. Of course my group was all boys and they were more interested in the naked people in the indian exhibits. Funny.



Hope everyone is having a good day and thanks for looking.

No new pictures to add today. But Jacob and I were looking through some of the old pictures on the computer and he picked some out that he wants on their blog. So when we have nothing else to add we are going to be adding them over the next little bit.



These pictures are some of my favorite that we had done in Florida christmas of 2007 They had the kids pose but didn't tell them what they were adding in we just saw it when we picked the pictures up later. But they turned out really cute.






Hope everyone is doing good and thanks for looking.

Zach's class walked to the Murray Cemetary today for a field trip. He came home from school really hot so the boys decided to run through the sprinklers for him to cool off. They were both having fun until Jacob realized that the sprinkler was getting him wet and then he had to take a moment to cry about it. He has been bad about crying over just about everything since his last dose of steroids at the hospital. Sad thing is it was over a month ago. I think it became a bit of a habit. Oh well at least he isn't crying about the dog looking at him anymore. They did have fun in the sprinklers. It was fairly warm here today. We actually had to turn the air conditioner on. This did give the kids a chance to go through the sprinklers though. They have been asking since about February. Hope everything is going good for everyone and thanks for looking.

We stopped at the kids favorite park today. Jacob loves to be in the pictures but Craig told Zach he couldn't pick his nose in them so he opted out. Maybe next time. It was a lot of fun although after awhile it got warm and we forgot sunglasses it was very bright out. This is our favorite park and I should have taken a picture of this whole area because it is huge. It is the West Jordan park for those of you who haven't been to it. I would highly recommend it. It is a great park. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and thanks for looking.

Hi all hope you are having a great weekend. Craig and I just got back from Angels and Demons. It was ok not enough Ewan Mcgregor (that was the only reason that I agreed to go see it). But it was ok. These are some pictures from earlier this afternoon the kids were playing kickball in the front yard. Zach has reached a point in life where he feels it isn't really a picture unless he is making a face. Hope everyone has a great weekend and thanks for looking.

We have two new additions to our webkinz family. A chicken named Chirp Chirp and a cow named Kirelinko. We are all very happy to have daddy home from his trip and are looking forward to a fun family weekend together. School is almost over for the year and we are also looking forward to having a fun summer. Mom and Dad are going to Seattle the second week of June without the kids (FUN). And at some point this summer we are going to make a quick trip to Florida for the waterparks (to hot for the regular park). Nothing else really planned. But we will have some fun I am sure lots of laughs and probably more tears. After the first couple of weeks of vacation the boys start to get really sick of each other. But hopefully we can keep them laughing more then crying right. Well thanks for looking and Happy Mothers day tomorrow to all of you moms out there.

Jacob had to do a report on penquins in kindergarten. And then he had to make an easy costume and talk about them in front of the whole class. The parents were invited to see them present them. He also had to make the poster at the left side of the picture but you can't see it all in the picture. We made his costume out of felt and just tied a ribbon around his neck with the wings and the white belly hanging from it and then we made a black hood and sewed a beak and glued some eyes on. He did a very good job and the presentations were very cute.
