A couple of Thurday's ago, I made a deal with my boys. I told them if they could keep their rooms and bathroom clean for the whole weekend , I would come get them out of school on Monday and take them to lunch. I had secretly been planning a trip with my friend Shantelle to Disneyland. I picked up the boys and we all went to lunch. After we ate I told them I had a gift for them. I told them to try to guess where we were going. My friend had made them all their own autograph books for the Disney characters. They all opened them at the same time, and Jake said were going to Disneyland. I said yep. Lets go get in the car we're leaving. They didn't believe us. They kept asking if we were serious. We finally convinced them we were really going and we got in the car and started our exciting trip to Disneyland. We stayed two days and two nights. We had so much fun! Thank you Mom, Dalene (My mother-in-law), and my sweet husband Brian for watching the two little boys so I could really enjoy the time away with my 3 older boys.

Cole was a good sport. We had an odd number of people so he rode with a girl we met in line. Her name was Riley. Now we know 4 Riley's. Jake and Max think they can drive a real car now! I don't think so.

My good friend Brooke that I have known for 30 years lives just minutes from Disneyland. She met us there and played with us for 5 hours. My boys loved hanging out with Porter and thought it was so funny when we told them they had met before when they were about 2 years old.

Jake and Cole got picked out of the audiance to participate in the Jedi training. The instructor was so funny and had everyone cracking up. It was very entertaining, especially when Darth Vader and Darth Mal came out. The kids had to use their new skills to fight the dark side. Darth Varer was huge. I can't belive none of the kids cried. Darth mal was very scary looking. I think this was probably their favorite thing we did.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE & COLE

Jake turned 9 and Cole turned 5. Their birthdays are within 4 days of each others. They both wanted their party at Bounce U. I told them I was't doing two seperate party's at the same place, so they agreed to have their parties together. It turned out great. I am just glad to have it over with.

Cole turned 5, and all he wanted was a pair of heely's. So guess what he got.

I have never seen a kid so good at Guitar hero! Heston can play expert and hardly miss a note. Sam thinks he is playing. We don't tell him it's not on, he would throw a fit.

This is pretty much the only way I can get a picture of all my boys together, and have them all happy. What a bunch of cute boys if I say so myself!

I like to take close up pictures of my boys, enlarge them & frame them. Most of my boys can take a good picture. I was dying when I was trying to take these pictures of Sam. I would tell him to say "cheese" and smile. He was trying a little too hard.
