Disneyland....again! SURPRISE!


Well, we did it! We pulled it off! The day after we got back from our last Disneyland trip, we decided that we had too much fun and wanted to go again. Brian's family was going in May, so we decided what better time than that! We wanted to go with his family since his parents and sister had never been. I thought it would make the trip that much better for them to have more of their grandkids there. Well, we told Roxanne and Kelly not to say anything to anybody and we would surprise everybody! It worked! After all the hints and bets and promises...nobody caught on. Perfect! We showed up at the airport and the surprise was almost ruined as Brian walked into the terminal and there sitting on a bench was Shannon, Mom, Roxanne, Joree, KC and Sheridan. He quickly covered up and said that we had come down to surprise them and see them off. The group came to the security checkpoint and there I was with the kids and Brooklyn said her well trained statement: "Surprise, we're going to Disneyland!" They didn't catch on until I said, yes, WE are going to Disneyland. Shannon didn't believe us at all. She had to see the tickets to make sure. It was a priceless moment.

And, staying true to history....we have been home for a day and already booked our next trip. This one won't be until September. We are going to go for our 5 year anniversary. No Kids! We have to find some way to use our Annual Pass that we got!

I want another one....hair cut, that is.

So, while I was getting my hair done yesterday, I decided it was probably time for Brooklyn to have her hair trimmed. (I think we have only trimmed it to make it even in the past)...and heck, hair grows back, let's get it cut!

She is so funny with her posing and i'm just grateful I was able to get a picture without the cheesie grin. I think that it turned out really cute and that Allison did a good job. It curls under when it dries...gives her kinda the bob look. Cute!

I think with this picture I told her we were going to Disneyland to get her to smile! HEHE

First Hair cut and a new toy!

So, I did it. Or, I mean, Allison did it. We shaved his head! It has been uneven, and thinning on top and crazy for a while. Plus, his scalp is sooooo dry, I thought this might help clear it up.


Before....we put him in the exersaucer and put the cape around him.He was a little upset being in the exersaucer and getting his head shaved. He did better once he was held.
Allison doing a couple of touch-ups.


He is a handsome little guy. Maybe now his head will clear up because the lotion actually will touch his scalp.


Also, I wanted to get a new toy or something for Brooklyn and Gavin and Lauren to play with during the summer. Brett and Gretchen got a swingset..and I wanted to get something different for the kids to do. Besides, I don't know that Brian would let me put a swingset on his lawn. So, at the advice of my friend Pam, I decided to get these tunnel and tent thingies. So far, Brooklyn and Brison have enjoyed crawling through them. We have Gavin over at the house today and these two are just funny together (unless they are fighting, which is what they are doing right now.)


Even Brison gets in on the action!!
We'll have to see how long this lasts....so far....so good.


as I hear crying and screaming in the distance.......

Oh, and I did some more pages.

I discovered the wonderful new world of templates. It has made it so easy for me to catch up on scrapbooking. You just open the template, choose paper, and pictures, and print! It is awesome. I did 4 pages in one night! LOVE IT! Here they are!
