What's For Breakfast?

Last Sunday (before church) my three little ones had every game that we own out of the closet and strung all over the house. I entered the front room and proceeded to tell them that if they got one more thing out of the closet I was going to run away!!!! Tyton started laughing and said "Mom - I'm telling you that if you run away, there will be nobody to make me breakfast"! Now that statement is quite hilarious because if you know me, I never make breakfast!!! One morning, many years ago, when I was making pancakes, Carly entered the kitchen and asked me if it was her dad's birthday!! I felt guilty for many years, questioning what kind of mother/wife I was. Finally one night I went to a Relief Society meeting where the speaker informed me that I wasn't a terrible mom/wife if I didn't make breakfast or homemade bread!!!! Instantly the guilt went a way!!! Don't get me wrong, my children do eat breakfast before they leave for school and they have a variety of choices - Fruit Loops, Shredded Wheat, Lucky Charms or Honey Nut Cheerios!!!!!!!

Tyton - I promise you that if I run away, you'll be fine:)

FUN IN CALIFORNIA!!!!!

Posted by Picasa
Last weekend we took a little trip to California. We have wanted to take our little ones to DisneyLand for quite sometime. Our older kids have been a few times, so last minute we packed up and took a little trip. We bought the kids hats, notice the biggest kid purchased one. Tim wore his pirate hat around DisneyLand all day. It was hilarious and very entertaining. We would be waiting in line and people would slap him high five and make comments:) Inspite of all the people and waiting in line for rides we had a really great time!!!

Tyton Entertaining himself!!!

Knotts Berry Farm!

Posted by PicasaWe had a blast at Knotts Berry Farm. There was absolutely nobody around. We were able to get off a ride and get back on. A few times we actually didn't even get off, the workers would just let us go again. Our kids loved this place!!!
