47-48/365

 The 365 project has been a little hard to accomplish the last few days. So some days the next week or so might be combined. oh well.

We had a fun night at the Dell Taco with the kids...umm taco tuesday people. So we brought some extra peeps and peeps that we love to be with.

first there are a lot of things in this life that I want for my kids but one of them is good friends, people who help them make right decisions. people who are fun to be around and all though might disagree or even get mad at each other will be able to still be friends. Alivia is so lucky she has some good friends in this neighborhood who live close by both directions and we are so thankful for them. we are also lucky to have family close go and have fun with and call a friend too.

Day one

Traveling with four kids by myself wasn't as bad as I thought. Getting through security no problem. The only hang up was the pilots let Cooper sit up front and I DID NOT HAVE MY CAMERA OUT!! and we held up the line for a minute or two.

We got the very last row, all the way across!! That was the only anxiety was not knowing where everyone would sit.

We are in Atlanta, staying an extra day, the loads are so full I am not sure how and when we will get to Orlando, We will hurry up and wait.

Anyway the pool is closed, yeah, my plans out the window we might have to go out for a walk and see what we can find.

One of the sweetest little guys around.

I love taking his picture because his expressions are usually very genuine.

He can not wait for his Birthday to come and has been talking about it almost everyday.

We are going to have a special visitor for a few days, most days while we are gone, Ben's Dad is flying from Frankfurt-London-LAX-SLC all tomorrow and will be staying at our house until the beginning of next week.

Yeah Papa!

44-45/365-

 A million time over we are lucky to be able to fly for free (some taxes may apply) and even luckier to have nice in laws that think of us when some time share rooms fall through.

We are on our way to Orlando this week and packing is SUCH A PAIN. I used to not mind it but it is getting harder and harder with the things that you need to bring---just to keep the kids entertained getting there not to mention the clothes, shoes, underwear, socks, hats, sunscreen, shorts, shirts----should I bring a sweatshirt, do I let them bring their pillow pets, should I bring my stroller this time?

This is why you need a vacation from your vacation.

Post packing pictures to come, because I know you are dieing to know how many suitcases I will bring:)

Happy Valentines Day with a minor complaint!

Love, Love, Love Ben..Love everything that he does for our family. He is a great Dad, such a softee for those of you who don't know it. He is such a pushover if the kids are crying or are sticking their little lips under the door, saying "Daddy come and get me, I not tired"

I L.O.V.E to tease Ben about his shoes, his garments, pop cans, plates etc...

I just had to take a picture this day about putting things back in their place.

( I thought taking a pic of his garments just left of the laundry hamper wasn't appropriate:)

Anyway Happy Valentines Day Benn-e!

Love you,

 love your shoes,

 pop cans, 

dirty plates, 

garments, 

I wouldn't trade them for anything.

43/365-Nap time or Not Nap time

Kessler is at the age that if he doesn't nap he will fall asleep wherever he is at around 5pm. Here is a picture of an example, I kept him up so he could go to bed around 7pm, and to my non-surprise he fell asleep on the floor in the living room. 

42/365-Uncle Kyle

My kids have a pretty neat uncle that likes to hang out with them and my kids are always entertained with Uncle Kyle around.

Tonight we went to my Mom's, Ben was at work Kyle came home and was showing the boys some cool boy stuff (transformers, airplanes etc...) on his computer.

Thanks Kyle for being a Awesome Uncle!

I can't keep track of the days anymore. 

Lets talk about today, I was SUPER tired I worked a PHX standup and for some reason it kicked my trash. 

I could not stay awake I thought I was going to fall over and die. I could barely make it to 11 am when I didn't feel as guilty laying the boys down to watch a movie and hopefully fall asleep which they did.

Well we all slept until 2:30. 

Now I have a massive headache. From too much sleep and sleep deprivation.

I don't know how that works.

So my pic for today was some brainless messing around today waiting for 11am.
