Disneyland and the Whole West Coast

Our California Adventure....

well we went to disneyland with the kids, (this picture is not good but it is typical family pic)

we also brought my parents along for much needed help.

4 adults to 3 kids is much better than 2 adults to 3 kids. We had a lot of fun, but i forgot how dark the rides are at disneyland,

so my kids got scared and we had to talk them into going on any ride, even the baby rides were dark.

After disneyland we went to Newport Beach the next day. The kids played in the water and we had a lot of fun.

The next day we traveled to Malibu

and since it was so hot we decided to drive the coast so we drove threw santa barbara and onto pismo beach where we walked the streets.

We finally headed home, it was a long trip but we had a lot of fun.

MY THREE LITTLE FISH

BATH TIME!!!!!

Cade is finally old and big enough to get in the bath with his brother and sister, YES thats right no more bath in the sink with the dishes. They all love the bath, even though they always ask me not to wash their hair. I love bath pics but it's hard to get cute ones or pics without showing parts that shouldn't be on blogs.

this has nothing to do with bath time but it is proof that i had some of the cake (this one is for you jackie)

BIRTHDAY CAKE

My brothers 24th birthday cake

my brother had a luau birthday party for himself and his friends. When i was in Utah i saw a cake that was a tiki hut and ocean so I thought i could make that. With a little bit of helpful tips from those with cake experience (thanks a lot) i was able to create a tiki hut birthday cake. It wasn't perfect but it was a lot of fun to make.

This is the cake I saw at the store!!


This was the practice cake!! (My brother Michael)

This was the party cake!!!

HOW BIG IS CADE???

SOOOOO BIG!!!!

Cade, our little baby boy, is getting so big. Well some might say to big. I have been buying him 18 months shirts and some 18 months pants because his gut is so big. Did i forget to mention he is 9 months. I don't remember my other kids being this big he is just a good eater I guess. The first time i gave him rice cereal i thought it would be typical put the food in and he would spit it out like my other kids did, but no not Cade he took a spoonful and he immediately gulped it down and had his mouth open looking for another bite. Well he is such a big boy but i love him so much even though he hurts my back some time.

Tag
alright alright here is my first tag, i am not that interesting, so sad!!

Ten Years Ago: I was a senior in high school, rulin the school. I was playing softball and I had just met Robert and we have been dating for 2 months.
If I were suddenly a Billionaire........... duh quit all work whatsoever, and no we will not open a free clinic like some of you crazy people. travel, pay off all debt buy a house customized to our liking, pay off my parents house and other debt. Pay off friends debts, don't start sucking up now. Eat out every meal, hire a maid and whatever else I feel like because i am a billionaire.
Things on my to do list today: LAUNDRY, planning parties and pealing off wallpaper.
3 Bad habits: Drink diet coke like it is going to save my life, hate cleaning, and shopping ( some days I don't think this is a bad thing)
3 places i have lived: northridge, ca... provo, ut... san leandro, ca
Five Jobs I've had: UHHHHH..... umpire, summer at Japanese restaurant, seriously that is it... i am not the working type i guess
5 things people don't know about me:
1. during my pregnancys i tend to put on a lot of weight, so from the biggest(pregnant) I got I have lost 80 lbs in my life. I love to diet and see how much weight i can loose in one week, kinda weird but i think it is fun.

2. If I could i would eat out every meal, not because i don't like to cook but because i love eating out. It is so fun.

3. Everytime I have to bring a dessert or food to a party I have a internal competition with everyone who brought food. If my food or dessert was gone then I was the winner. I always ask Robert if he thinks I was the winner or I tell him I was the winner. ( he thinks i am crazy)

4. I can not sit still, I always want to go somewhere, anywhere. even if it is to the local target that is alright with me. I have finally slowed down a little, my third child is finally on a good nap schedule so it slows me down.

5. when i was little i wore dresses everyday, i didn't want to wear anything else. When I was in fourth grade a little girl, name Alyssa Kirchoff see I still reember her name, made fun of me and kicked mud on my dress and i never wore a dress to school again.

T-BALL STARTS

I CAN DO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO.....

I decided to sign up clayton again for t-ball, he was a little to shy last year but i thought he woud be better this year. i took him to sign ups and we signed him up, then ella said i play baseball too. So I asked the t-ball staff if she could play, the staff is made up of four 17 year olds and one 22 year old, they said the age was 4 but hey it's your dime do what you want. So i signed her up. The first game we had went really good. They got their shirts and matching hats and hit the ball. My favorite thing about t-ball is when the kids are playing the field wherever the ball gets hit all 8 kids run after it no matter what position they are in. here are some cute pics
