Somethng WICKED this way comes!

I can hardly stand it I have heard the rumor and I do believe it is true!!! Wicked is coming to Utah in April of 2009 I know it is a while away but still very exciting!! I have checked a few places and it seems to be true. They will have it posted in mid March at www.NewSpaceentertainment.com. I keep checking the site and nothing yet but we will have to wait and see. I just am still in shock of the rumor being true it is my all time favorite!!

Cottage Cheese and Thunder Thighs!!

I was thinking today as summer gets closer so does the thought of having to get into a swimsuit!? I was thinking how great it would be if the cute attributes of kids were still cute in adults. Like how cute Scarlets cottage cheese bum and thunder thighs were. Or how cute little girls pot bellies were is little bikini's. Even how cute their little bums are when they get a wedgie!! Seriously if only those attributes were still as cute when you are an adult!!! It is just a thought so this summer I am going to embrace the kid in me and pretend these attributes are still cute. Happy swimsuit shopping all!!

(I know Spencer wishes this were true with farts!!)

Happy Birthday Georgie!!

My baby is 3 and I don't believe it. It was kinda an emotional day looking back and thinking about all his other birthdays.






His actual birthday was the greatest, my first baby and he was so perfect. The day turned out better than we thought it would be, he was doing well enough to come by my room so I could hold him.





His first birthday not the greatest but the day I got confirmation that he was going to make it through the RSV and get a heart transplant so that we would take him home!









He had a killer cake that year!!






His second, just a small party with cousins, you all know me and germies.


(Randi I can not find these pictures will you send them to me again!?!)



His third a great shindig with family and friends. Thanks to all who came it was a lot of fun and sorry we were packed in like sardines!! Spencer and I decided to get him a bike for his birthday. It is going to take some practice but I think he will get it eventually!






All the kids ready to party hearty. We had a killer game of pin the tail on the donkey.





That was followed up by a pinata. George wanted a horse one but I think he was kinda disturbed that we were hitting it. So Grandpa helped!

Hank and George checking out the loot!!

Piggies!!

I thought the other day that Scarlet's hair just might be long enough for piggies and I was right!! You know how you laugh so hard when you think your kids are the cutest things out there, well this was one of those times. I could not stop giggling when I looked at her. Only 4 months old and a good pair of piggies! It makes her look so much older but look at the cheeks on her!



I could not get the mullet in, so I just left it hanging!

Wonderful World of Disney!!

For Christmas this year my parents gave us a trip to Disney World. It was so much fun, tiring, but fun! So first of all our flight left at 6 in the morning so we had to leave our house at 4AM. Not to shabby because I thought George would sleep on the flight. George was so excited to be on a plane there was no sleeping going on. When we got to Florida we went to a horse show called Arabian Nights, it was kinda like Medieval Times but a little tackier. The food was horrible but the show was so bad it was hilarious. Good times at the Arabian Nights, I think it was Colin's favorite event in Florida.



The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was so much fun to see George there. We don't let him do a lot of things like this because of his immune system but we were in vacation mode and had a lot of hand sanitizer. It took him a while to understand that it was not just a one time thing that we were going to let him go on as many rides as he wanted to. So after just about every ride and character he got to see it was full breakdown mode. He got it after a while and was delightful after the rides.


He was able to get a picture with his favorite ever Buzz Lightyear!!



That night we ate with Pooh and other characters, George was a little sleep deprived and was a little nervous around them but we still got a few good pictures.




We went to EPCOT the next day and Goeorge got to go on Nemo and went and saw talkin with crush(the turtle from Nemo).

The adults went on a new ride there called Soarin' it was the coolest simulated ride I have been on. Your feet dangle and they lift you up so you are facing this huge screen. It is all scenes from California, you sail across orange fields and they blow orange smells at you and then you are in the mountains and they blow pine smell at you. It was so cool it made me want to go to California now. If any of you are going to Florida soon go on that ride it is great. We went and visited all the countries, got a bratwurst in Germany, treats in Japan and did not go into Morocco because it stinks!!

This is George and I in Germany after our delicious dinner of Bratwursts!

That night the girls went to Cinderellas castle for a princess dinner. We got a picture with Cinderella and they give the little girls a wand. So they gave one to Ruth, they saw Shawn and the rest of us and were not sure if Shawn was a little girl or an adult so they ended up giving us all wands just to make sure that if Shawn was little they got it covered!! We ate a 3 course dinner and we met the fairy godmother and 2 of Cinderellas mice. The boys stayed at EPCOT and went on a few rides, then went back to the hotel and ordered Pizza. What a day!

We decided to go shopping at Downtown Disney and they had the coolest Lego statues we had to get some pictures with them!



Those are real Lego's!!!



We went to EPCOT that night and went on the rides in Norway and Mexico. We ate in Mexico and while we were eating there was a huge thunder storm, we got drenched going back to the hotel.

Sunday morning we had our own little Sacrament meeting, a little thought by Dane and we were off to MGM. We went and did the fast pass to Tower of Terror then hit the Beauty and the Beast show. We went to go on Tower of Terror but they would not let Henry ride it he was about 1 inch too short. After we went on it we were glad they did not let Henry on it he would have died. Ruth was terrified. They have a new show there that is tricks about car stunts in shows. It was really cool to see. Then we went to Indiana Jones where Spencer got picked to be an extra, this is him showing them his Ninja moves! What a good actor?!?

Spencer is in the back of this on in the redish hooded outfit, once again what a good actor!?!

We at dinner in this little 50's Cafe and the waitress treats you like they are your mom in the 50's it was pretty fun. Then we tried to go on the new Arosmith ride but just as my parents got to the front it broke down so that was a bust so we went back to the hotel and played cards.

Our last day we had a slow start the kiddies were toast so we let them sleep in. We went to Animal Kingdom and went on the new Safari tour with the live animals it was way cool, there was lions a cheetahs just out in the open.

This was George playing on the grass while we waited for our bus.

We went back to to hotel for naps because that night we had the Pirates and Princess party at the Magic Kingdom.

This was the greatest thing we did, this is a party that you have to buy the tickets separately. They only sell so many and it was great because there was no lines on any rides. George got to ride on Goofy's Roller coaster 5 times in a row because there was no line. That night we were able to do everything we wanted to do. It did not take us forever to get to another ride because there was hardly anyone around. They had all these stations marked with an X and you can get treasures at that spot, they had places that were dance party's with characters and there was the coolest parade with all the princesses and pirates. They had Jack Sparrow and Henry went crazy. George was so excited when he saw Capin' Hook. Ruthie loved all the princesses. And Randi about got in a fist fight with the rudest lady in the park. If you want to hear the story ask her she tells it the best. But that night was so much fun because we had the best weather and the best lines for rides. I think you can see we all had too much fun being little kids as well!!

We were up till 1 that night and we had to leave for the airport at 4 the next morning. We had an interesting nights sleep that consisted of 2 or so hours. We only had 30 minutes to get to our connecting flight in Atlanta, and we had to go to the furthest spot possible. But we made our flight and made it home. We all took the longest naps and I think we are about recovered from our napless trip to Disney World!!

Happy New Year!

Just want to wish everyone a happy new year! I hope you all have good luck with your resolutions, I will be trying hard as well.
