Boys will be boys

Wednesday was a sunny day, perfect for a day in the yard. We played hard Luke (mr I need to use the potty every ten seconds) was in and out of the house for his usual potty breaks....I didn't think much of it..So time comes we need to go inside so Madison could go down for her afternoon nap (yes she still takes 2 naps a day) and My friend Jackie was over and her son Carver needed to go potty...we head to the front door, LOCKED..no big deal we head to the inside garage door hmmm also locked. Um no key no husband anytime in the next few hours now what. While Jackie ran her son a few houses down to use the potty I was busy checking every window I could reach. Then I decided to check the sliding door. I had opened it in the morning to let in fresh air, and normally it locks when you slide it shut. BUT fortune smiled upon us and the lock malfunctioned and Harlie was able to get in and unlock the doors....I figured WHEW that was our adventure for the day.

Not quite, Luke loves to go out to let the dog potty, SO he did this and then came back with no puppy. I asked "Luke, where's Rylie? " "outside" he says and So I run outside and spent a good 20 minutes which sounds not so long but to me seemed like forever. Then we found Rylie in a neighbors back yard under their deck. I would be lying if I said the idea of not having to yell at her anymore (for chewing something or someone, or for peeing on my carpet ) didn't cross my mind. But I am very glad we found her, And very glad for my little boy, who keeps things interesting around here.

Our newest Family Member

We have been planning on getting a puppy once our fence is complete, the fence is not yet complete but the action is starting with it so we started puppy shopping. Her name is Rylie and she is an English Bulldog/Yellow Lab Mix. She is very sweet. And our kids are SO happy.

DisneyLand

Our First day at Disney was Friday, we stayed till around 10 ish that night so that we could watch Fantasmic...I didn't take pictures sorry ..Below are the kids ready for a train ride.

That's Ben Haroldsen with Luke on the train.



this was the best shot I could get inside of the submarines...I was too close so you only get half of Harlie's cute face

Luke hates his hat turned anyway but forward Tyson pinned down his arms and turned it sideways...



We met Woody and Jessie, Harlie wouldn't go meet Mickey so just Luke got to do that. On Saturday we spent most of the day at Disneyland and then we headed over to California adventures. We had never heard of or been on the tower of terror so we decided to take the kids and go on that...Um bad bad idea. It is a ride that takes you up about 12 stories and then drops you...repeatedly. Both kids were disturbed and had sick tummies when we stepped off. So the next ride we went on was a more kids friendly one. We didn't stay at the park long that day we were all disney'd out.


On Sunday we spent the day at the beach and exploring..Then we came home and spent some time with Grandma Alberta. On Monday I forgot the camera so Ben and Elisha took pictures for us, and I'll post them when they send em to me.
Monday we spent most of the day at California Adventures, We got to watch an Alladin musical, that was very cool...then went back to Disneyland to hit some of our favorite rides...Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain Railroad....and a few others. Since the lines were short we were able to hit several. Then we watched a light and water show called World of Color and since both kids were tired and we felt like our feet might fall off, we headed back to grandmas and said goodbye to DisneyLand

And this is a scenic portion of our LOOOOOOOOOONG boring ride home...We headed to my mom's house to pick up Madison (who glared at both of Tyson and I, and would not let us pick her up) and headed home exhausted. We had so much fun! And made some memories I hope will last a life time.

Make Enough of Me

So I stumbled across this song on Youtube that I had never heard before, by an artist I have grown to LOVE, And as I am listening to the words of this song I am thinking...she wrote this about my life...how did she know? I think most mom's can relate..

Make enough Of me

(Julie De Azevado)

Overwhelmed and underpaid
Morning comes too soon
Running late and on my plate
A million things to do

Got a baby cryin’
Another trying to find the other shoe
When I open my eyes
The dam will break
Their need will flood my room

You made wine from water
And raised up Jairus’ daughter
From her bed
From her bed
Filled the empty fishing nets
And with some loaves and fishes fed
A hungry crowd
A hungry crowd
Make enough of me to go around

My mother’s sick
And I’m late to pick up kids at school
I need to clean
Can’t fit in my jeans
The fidge gives no comfort food

You made wine from water
Raised up Jairus’ daughter from her bed
From the dead
Filled the empty fishing nets
And with some loaves and fishes
Fed a hungry crowd
I hunger now
Make enough of me to go around

Multiply and magnify
This tiny little life of mine
Enlarge me
And expand this heart
And fill it with divine

My heart is cold
Nothing grows
But thistles and some thorns
They choke the light
And shrink the vine
I need to be reborn

You made wine from water
And told a scarlet daughter
Sin no more
Sin no more
Surrendered to the garden
Through thorns and nails you pardoned
The angry crown
The angry crowd
Make enough of me to go around
Make enough of me to go around

Happy Birthday Luke!!!

Happy Birthday to my little man!!!!!!!!!!!
We love this little guy so much, he is so smart and such a little cuddle bug! He makes being a mom amazing everyday!
