Embellished Home: June 2009

6.10.2009

Its Official . . . 10 years

June 1st 1999

1 apartment, 3 houses (1 remodel & 2 builds), 13 vechicles, 1 masters degree, 1 dog, 2 children and a few disagreements . . . we made it. Phew, I'm wondering if it gets easier now? =)

So looking forward to this release

I was looking for Reiss and found him in the pantry with the cooler. When I asked what he was doing he told me he was packing a picnic for him and Victoria. Let's just say he can pack a pretty "sweet" picnic.

It was like they were reading eachothers mind because minutes later the doorbell rang. So the two little squirts went on the back deck and had their picnic.

I did it! Strawberry Jam!

I was able to get 10 jars.

Not a big feat for some, I know. But for me it was huge! The boys picked the strawberries from our garden and we made freezer jam. So easy that I can't believe that I haven't done it before. It tastes so good! I even made rolls too!

Thanks Sonic

Last Wednesday Sonic offered free Rootbeer Floats. So we headed on over for evening dessert.

Disneyland April 2009 . . . first time

We went with our friends, Chelsea & Clayton. We stayed in Las Vegas on the way there. Just so you know, I do have more photos to download. We dropped our new camera on the first day and had to use our cell phone cameras. I just haven't sent them to my e-mail yet. So when I do that, I'll post more. Good thing I brought our previous camera just in case. I also have a video of the boys finding out that they're going but it was taking so long, so I'll add that later too.

The weather was perfect. Our hotel was 15 minutes away, so we were able to walk to the trolley can ride in. It was a pretty easy going trip for us. Unfortunately Chelsea's little girl got really sick and had to go to the ER and then Clayton got sick. (no not swine flu)

We arrived late afternoon and headed right over to Downtown Disney. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe, a completely over rated and over priced resturant. My kids would of been happier if we went to McDonalds. They weren't really digging all the snakes hanging down over our table.

Caden's FAVORITE STORE, the Lego Store! He could have spent everyday here.

Reiss really liked the pirate legos and the accessories. He was cracking us up with his expressions.

DISNEYLAND & CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE

Caden & Scott rode California Scream'in twice. I can't believe Caden loved it!

Scott & Caden after Bear River Run. Caden was soaked.

Caden's age progression. Scary!!!!
