Disneyland!!




Boy, did we LOVE Disneyland!! We had so much fun riding rides, meeting characters, spending time with the Texas Joneses, and we even fit in a day of swimming and the beach. We will say we need a vacation to recoup from our vacation, but it was well worth it. If you ask Cade what his favorite thing was he will tell you the Buzz Lightyear ride. Ashlie had many favorites, but I think she may have been most excited about meeting some of the princesses, and almost filling her autograph book. Isaac, well, he can't talk, but he even got to go on the roller coaster in Toon town and LOVED it. The kids got to see the ocean for the first time, and Ashlie spent most of her time on the beach looking for sea shells. We had fun seeing family on our way to California. Our kids loved spending the night at Grandpa and Grandma's cool house (since they have never spent the night there). Anyway, to sum it up, we had SO MUCH FUN!!

Why Aren't You Sleeping?


So, Isaac is at that stage that all my kids find WAY too early. He fights his naps each day. He still needs a nap, but if it were up to him, he would not take one. Today I put him down, and an hour later I could still hear him. Since we have to take Ashlie to Ballet in less than an hour I went in to get him because he was not going to get a good enough nap to make it worth it. I found him sitting on the little pink stool that goes to Ashlie's play vanity talking to himself, and playing with his cars. I guess I left it too close to the crib, but there he was having a good old time. I still am not sure how he got it into his crib with him, that kid never ceases to surprise me.

Happy Birthday CADE!!!


It is hard to believe that they were once this small.

Ok, so I am a few days late, but Cade had his 4th birthday on Sunday (March 28), and boy was it a bash. He woke up to streamers, and a dinosaur birthday sign. He ate his favorite chocolate muffins and chocolate milk for breakfast. He went to church where he got special treatment for being the birthday boy (he got an extra piece of candy from his primary teacher). We were lucky enough to get a visit from the Chaffin family, which meant he actually got to see cousins on his birthday. He asked for a dino cake, so that is what he got. He got an awesome BYU apron from Grandpa and Grandma C. and an awesome cape from Grandpa and Grandma J. He even got to sleep in his new Lightning McQueen sleeping bag that night. It was a day of NON-STOP fun, and if you know Cade, at all, he is a bundle of non-stop fun himself. He is a sweet little boy, who ALWAYS gives me morning hugs. He calls his dad his best buddy, and he loves to play with his sister and brother. He makes us laugh on a daily basis, and the thing that may make his Dad the most happy is, he cheers for BYU. The first letter he learned in the alphabet was not C for Cade, but Y for BYU.
