Disney Land Photos:






In the freezing water at the beach!




The boys were a little scared in Mr. Toads wild ride.









The Star Wars show was AWESOME! Isn't he scary?




Jared snapped this just before the scariest moment of the scaries ride I have ever been on in my entire life! The Tower of Terror at California Adventure! I hated it and loved it! I love scary rides!




I don't know how to turn these pictures. I loaded them straight from Amy's computer onto my blogg and now I can't turn them. Sorry!
Amy and Wyatt








Could these boys be any cuter? THis was Tarzan's Tree House!




The classic "buried in the sand"!


I never found my cord. I have alot of some more Disney pics on there. We actually decided to just get a new camera. But I don't know how I am going to get the pictures  off my camera! And Jared dropped his camera at the end and that's why these look like this. 

One of the funnest trips ever!!!!

John passed his boards!!!!!


We are so happy!!! We made signs and a list of "10 things we love about our dad" and brought home Krispy Kreme donuts and a balloon! We are sooooo proud of him! It was brutal!

I do realize I am loosing readers by the day with my boring blogging. I just can't bring myself to keep up with it.....so I am not

We are back from the place "where all your dreams come true". And it's true! 100%  We had so much fun and are so exhausted from all day everyday walking in the sun!  Of course my camera died the first day...but I am waiting for my sister in law to email me some pics. So, they will come. I promise.

This is such a crazy summer. Isaac's play is grueling practices!!! It takes up alot of time. And we have swim lessons and I am going to AZ again in July to see Wicked. I feel like I have only been home half of my life this year! It has been great though!

So, if you care......stay tuned for a ton of pictures. Wedding and Disney Land!

p.s. I still can't find my cord. When do you resort to buying a new one???????

If my cord to download my pictures(I don't even know what it's called) wasn't missing........

I would do a catch up post and post a picture of Matt's cow giving birth when we were home last.

I would post a picture of our new stow away, house lizard. This lizard hitched a ride on my suit case from my mom's house in AZ all the way to Vegas. 
He now lives in our house because John says he will keep us free of bugs and spiders. "OK, sounds good to me!" We see him every couple of days! The boys think it's pretty cool to have a lizard for a pet.

I would post a picture of my boys in the van with John getting ready to drive away to Father's and Sons Outing! ( That was the only picture I got because John took video while they were there......no pics).

You might see some pics of me and some girlfriends at girls night out while the boys were gone.

There would be some pictures of the special little moments I have seen fit to capture on film. Is it still film?

But until I get my cord this will have to do!

And now it's off to the Happiest Place on Earth!!! (Well, we're actually leaving on Thursday, but tomorrow is get ready day).

Here we come Disney Land! See you all on Monday Night!

OUR FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER........

For 4 very long months our daddy has been MIA.
  I know this is hard to believe, but since January we have not had 1 night when John did not have to study something!!!! 
That is unbelievable to me! He came home and we ate together and the boys played with him while I cleaned up from dinner and then I saluted him and said "I am checking out! "

Out of the bedtime routine that is. I got a heaping bowl full of berries and whipped cream with a few semi-sweet chocolate chips on top and read a love story in bed! Is that heaven? I would say so.  After the boys were asleep then we just sat together and talked and watched A.I.  We will go on a long awaited date on Saturday night!

I feel like our lives will finally take on some kind of normalcy. And I can't wait! I can't wait to play ball out side and walk around the block with John and the boys. I even can't wait to just go to the store together as  family and do projects around the house together!

I am sooooo proud of John! I have never, ever seen such self discipline and self determination!  I admire and respect him immensely! He is everything to me!
 We find out next week how he did on the boards!

Back Again.....


We had a good trip... I am tired
Driving 9 hrs alone is tough. But my mom lent me 
a little love story on C.D. to listen to to help me stay awake.

John takes the boards on Tues and then we will have a Dad and husband again! YIPEE!

Kari's wedding was beautiful and fun......all except for the miss-hap with my dress minutes before the ceremony.......more of that later and pictures. 

I always feel so melancholy when I get home from a trip with my family.  I want to be home and missed it desperately but feel so torn and alone with out all of them.

But here goes life!
