It's Like Riding a Bike
Lily was so excited to finally figure out how to ride a two-wheeler last Saturday.

Destroying Angels
I often embarrassed that my house looks the way it does when I compare it to other peoples houses. I don't have furniture that matches, no cute sayings on the wall, but instead dents on the corners of every room and on tables and chairs, toys everywhere, etc. But I've come to accept that my idea of a "cute" house is not in the cards for me right now. That is a someday dream. Why, you wonder? I'll give you three good reasons...
Thursday Lily went to school in a perfect pair of pants (which is a rarity this time of year). When she came home from school her pants looked like this (she tour both sides of her pants all the way up the seam)...
Jefferson, in protest of going to bed last night decided to do this...
And Cedric loves to throw things in the garbage. Here are a few things I have found in the garbage...
He also loves to climb on everything and especially the toilet. He pulls the cover off, climbs up and plays in the sink.
So until I have children who are able to respect theirs and other peoples property, we will continue to live in a house decorated with crayon scribbles, hand-me-down furniture, child locks and toys decorating the floor.

First Day of Spring
For the first day of spring, the kids and I went to the mall to visit the Easter Bunny.
Now the funny thing about visiting the Easter Bunny is he/she (I'm still not sure the bunny's gender, this one looked like a he) doesn't talk and there isn't anything to say to the Easter Bunny anyway. It's not like you tell it what you want for Easter. So we said hi, shook his hand and got a picture.
On the way home one of my little bunny's tuckered out after all the excitement.

Our New Addition
We are so excited to have a new addition to our home...
We bought it for a really good deal from Tom's boss.

"The Happiest Place on Earth"
For Christmas the kids received a trip to Disneyland from Santa. We had a countdown calendar that the kids opened every day until we left, last Monday. 
We left Cedric at home with Bryce and Sara who were so nice to take care of him for us. This was the kids second time on an airplane, because they were so little the first time, it was a fun experience to fly again.
That same day we arrived we headed off to Disneyland!
We had a five day pass to both Disneyland and California Adventure and took advantage of every second we could. We rode almost every ride we could. 
Jefferson's favorite was Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster, Lily's favorite was Indiana Jones, Tom's was the Toy Story Mania and mine was Space Mountain. The kids were so good to go on everything they could. Jefferson was always so serious and always had the same expression on his face. 
We went on Space Mountain so many times, we lost count. 
Jeff loved all the rides, even the fast ones. The only ride that was highly disliked by Lily was Tower of Terror. This is us right after the ride.
She cried and pouted for about two hours after that ride. The only time Jeff threw a fit was when he wasn't sitting by his dad on a ride, or was just really hungry.
We also had fun watching parades,
seeing shows, watching 3D movies,
climbing around tree houses and playgrounds, 
going to the petting zoo,
talking to Crush the turtle, shopping, participating in the Jedi Training academy, 
eating at Ariel's Grotto, and meeting around 25 characters!
The kids had fun getting autograph's from most of them and interacting with the princesses at Ariel's Grotto.
Every night the kids would crash the second their heads hit the pillow.
My leg muscles were sore from all the walking, and although we had an umbrella stroller for the kids to share most of the time, they walked a lot too. They were such good kids, we had such a fun time! It was also fun to run into Tom's sister, Maren at the airport and my sister, Aimee and her family at the hotel and in California Adventure. We had rented a car to go to the beach one day, but ended up not making it. We were having way to much fun in the parks!
It was so hard to return home to reality, we are all going through major Disneyland withdrawals. We can't wait to go back again when Cedric's tall enough to go with us (we won't take them unless they are over 40 inches).
