disneyland 09

So this is way late but my life is crazy and I'm sinking in everything so this is put on the backburner! We decided we wanted to get out of here! Layne had worked like crazy, over 120 overtime hours in less then 5weeks and lets just say I hadn't seen him that whole time. He was a zombie when he had a break from work and always had it on his mind. My parents were going to come with us and Joel and Shel but decided that Hawaii would be funner. Suckers! So we hoped in the car with Mylee and our 3mo old Derek and made our way to Disneyland. We got the Trump hotel the first night in Vegas and shared a room with Joel and Shel. It was a huge room! The boys woke up early and went and played a course there. Can't remember the name of it though. It was such a nice hotel. They had a huge tub. It was like a hot tub. Well we put the girls in it. There were 4 little ones loving it. I went out to feed Derek and next thing I know they are screaming and there is this really loud noise! I went in and they had turned on the jets and the water was just too low. All of them had escaped but Karlie and there is water shooting full force everywhere! I about died. I was laughing so hard. I thought about getting the camera until I looked at the floor and saw how much water was on it! It was a flood! I made Mal go and turn it off. She was so scared to even go near it cause it was just spraying. Finally she got it and we had every towel trying to mop it up. I wish so bad I had a camera on it cause it was nuts! Shel and I were laughing so hard. Luckily we didn't ruin anything. The boys got back from golfing and we went to the outlets then headed for Disneyland!

This is the Trump course. They loved it!



So yes, we are WAY nice wives!!! This is at the trump course in California. The husbands were so excited to go golf and us wives couldn't wait to get rid of them so we could do what we wanted in Disneyland! It was so fun! They loved this course. They even got 36 holes in and were back to disneyland around 2.


We went to the beach for a couple days. It was nice to go and relax. The girls didn't even care that it was freezing! Mylee loved runing and jumping at the waves. I held Derek the whole time. He didn't love it at all!

We found this little aquarium spot that was free. Mylee kept going over to this one and watching them while we were looking at all the others. I don't know why she liked them. They were so ugly!

Derek was the best little boy this trip! He hung out in this or his stroller the whole time. My back was aching after carring this fat boy around!

My being chicken of the starfish!


Mylee and dad flying a kite. She loved it. She is such a daddies girl!


Me and beefcake waiting in line at disneyland.

ok....eyeor is Mys favorite character by far! We bought her this little eyeor last time we were at disneyland, which was when she was 10months with my family. She has to sleep with it everynight. She carried him all over in disneyland. She took him on rides and was talking to him about the rides. In peterpan she was showing him everything. I got a crackup at her with it. Well, we get to eyeor and she was so excited to see the big one! We got up to him and she starts talking to him and showing him her little one. He gave My a hug and then took her small eyeor and gave it a hug and kiss and gave it back to her. She lit up! I loved watching her here! It really is so magical for them. It was such a cute moment!

Eyeor giving hers a hug!

& a kiss



Joel was a crazy man driving the stroller back after a busy day in the park! They were laughing so hard!

Another one of her favorites. She loves goofy! I don't know what she thought of all these big characters! My favorite by far was Tinkerbell. Her little spot was so dang cute. Just like the movies.

Us with Minnie. Derek was asleep in the stroller.



Shel, Mal, and I went on this ride that shoots you straight up. It was so fun. We where laughing so hard!

I love the relationship my little girl has with her dad! She is his little shadow everywhere!

Joel got these spining so fast. It was so funny cause the old men where so sick once they got off the ride!

Derek was SO good! He loved it! I think he loved the music and colors. He did better then I thought!

Me and my girl.

We had so much fun on this trip! I am a huge fan of Disneyland!!! I love that place. We had a three day pass and got there on a tuesday night, which was Kaitlyns birthday. She got her birthday pin and a gift card and we headed off for the night of fun. We had so much fun this night. Just went on different rides and got good treats. The treats are one of the best things about this place. So good. Then we went back Wednesday and Thursday. It was PACKED! I will never go there again in April. It was spring break and everyone decided to go on our vacation with us! We laughed cause Shel kept running people over with her stroller. You could barely move but it was still way fun. We were alittle more relaxed and didn't go as crazy to all the rides. It was kinda fun to people watch too. We stayed there all day Wednesday and Thursday the boys went golfing in the morning and Shel and I went over with the kids. Layne took my ticket golfing with him, so we put Kait in the stroller and made her try and look 2. She just turned 6. It worked though and I got in. I would have kicked Layne's butt if I would have had to wait for him since they decided to golf 36 that day! We had so much fun getting rid of our husbands. We just did what we wanted. I loved watching Mylee there! It is so much fun being a mom and seeing your kids enjoy things. We went to the beach for 2 days and then headed home on Sunday. Shel and I didn't want to be done with Disneyland and I had a day on my ticket since Layne had it golfing with him. We went and talked to the ticket desk and told them all our wildest dreams didn't come true cause there were too many dang people and he let us go back in for $10. We went in from ten to midnight just the two of us and had so much fun! I'm so glad that we are as close as we are. It was so fun running from ride to ride! Everynight they let off fireworks and our room you could see them from. Mylee and Malorie were the ones that had to watch them everynight! It was such a fun trip. I am ready to go back. Layne told me our kids need some reality and we can't go every year but I am going to fight him on that! It was so fun!


derek blessing


ok....so this is totally an expression of this little boy! he is always trying to attack and eat anything that comes near his mouth!






I love this picture of my grandpa and Derek. I treasure all the memories I have of them with my kids! They love them so much and drop everything they are doing when we go down there to play with them. I am glad that all our family and friends came on our day with Derek. It was such a nice blessing. Layne gave such a good one! I have it written in my journal and am so glad I have that! We have one of the best support systems out there with our family and friends. It was such a nice day for us!

our life.....





So we just colored easter eggs. My calls them eder eggs. She was so hyper when I showed her what we were doing. It was so fun watching her get that excited over it. I will definitely be doing this again next week. I think my girl is starting to learn to pose for the camera! I bought her cute apron from baby bintz! I love it on her and so does she.


Layne took me shooting the other weekend. I was supposed to stay home and paint my studio. I am trying to decide what to do in there and think I have figured out the painting situation. He mentioned shooting and the studio was out of my mind. I've never gone and I loved it. It was just so nice getting out and doing something different. Our two kids were in the truck. My had a movie on and Derek was sleeping. Didn't even have to pay for a tender for this date. Might have to go do it again!
So My has 5 little cousins on the Harris side that are all within 6mo of each other. The moms have decided to start trading and having little play dates. We are missing Karlie in these ones but they have SO much fun together. Mylee was a boss hog cause it was at our house but I was laughing so hard at them the whole time they were here.

I lined them up and painted their toes. They were in heaven. They didn't move!


No I'm not a bad mom letting my kid play out in the snow in her princess dress. She is SO stubborn!!!! I got so sick of her begging to go play in the sand box so I thought she would come right back inside once she felt how cold it was. Nope, she hung out out there for about 5min. Luckily the wind picked up and she came running in saying it was cold. She didn't bug me again after that!

She LOVES her baby Derek! He smiles like crazy when she is around him. He loves her. It is so fun to watch them interact together! She calls him baby Derek. She is our little mother hen to him. She is on Binky patrol all the time and he never gets too many squawks out. Even when she is rough with him he is smiling at her. I love that they have each other. I love watching them together! Derek is getting HUGE! His nickname around our house is beefcake. I love all his rolls. He is smiling and talking so much now. I swear it happened over night. This week has been crazy! They are both up all night with croup! I hate it! They can't breath and there is not much you can do for them. It has been a crazy week for me. I've had some medical tests and these two with croup. Layne has been working TONS! I am so grateful for the work right now, it's just kicking my butt with everything else going on. We are good though and hopefully will be back to normal soon. I'm headed to bed now. It is 12:40 in the morning and Layne just finished working. Yup, started this morning at 8. I better go get in so I can see him today:) If this post doesn't make sense you now know why. Goodnight!

I Love these two!


I was listening to this song that I heard off of someone elses blog. I imediately got all chocked up as I was holding Derek. I love my two little kids and don't know what I would do without them. I couldn't imagine them being taken away from me. They are what give me life, and drains me too:) I am so greatful I get to have their little spirits in my home. I LOVE these two! Here is the song that I heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOufqWodFNo

Derek's 2months!!!!



I can't believe my little boy is already two months! I know he's still little but it makes me sad how fast the newborn stage leaves! We went to his 2mo appt. My cousin Heidi and good friend Melissa work there. They gave him his two month shots and he cried so hard. He is getting huge! Anyone can testify that has seen him lately, that he has a nice set of cheeks. He is 23inches long and a big old whooping 12lbs 6oz. He has some major thighs too. His new name is beef cake! I am loving him so much. He has just started smiling the past couple weeks and this past week gooing more. He is such a happy baby and I love being a mom of two! We love him so much. Mylee still can't get enough of him and is such a good big sister most of the time.

The three kids...



These are three of the five great grandkids of my grandpa and grandma. I love this picture. Grandpa and grandma are so into their family!!! Especially the newborns! They love to snuggle them. My cousin Kar was in town so we went over to her moms and hung out one afternoon. I was so much fun. I was cracking up over her dog. It's as big as me with dredlocks! Anyway, back to the kids. The girl is kars, mine in the middle, and Josee's on the end. Mine is only like 5 days older then Josee's! He is a tank! He was number 71 of greats for my grandpa and grandma! Can you imagine our family parties. Pretty crazy! I chearish the memories I'll have of them with my kids. Nothing better!
