FLORIDA!!!

Well a couple of months ago Jillian and I decided that we needed a Vacation and soon!! Florida was on both of our top ten lists so we figured why not!! We headed for a week of Micky Mouse, Roller Coasters and the Simpsons ride!!

Sunday July 5th we headed to the airport!! I have to admit I was a little nervous to be on a plane that long but once we got there we were ready to be gone!! We landed in Florida and the Humidity hit us right away!! I didn't think that we were going to survive the week!! ha ha Once we got to our hotel and checked in we headed to our room.......out of the corner of my eye I saw some thing move! Of course I saw a Lizard headed for our door!! I about died and freaked out thinking that it was going to come inside!! We ran to our room and shut the door fast!! That wasn't the last lizard we would see....

Monday we woke up excited!! We were heading to the Magic Kingdom!! Jillian had all of our days planned out and I just held on to her purse and followed!! We had some issues that day because of an accident that happened the night before so it took over an hour to get to the Magic Kingdom!! Once we got there we hit all of the rides and even checked out a couple of stores!! My favorite thing of the day is a toss up between Pirates and Jillian's banana!! (ha ha remember her face Jill?) But Pirates is my favorite ride, Jillian on the other hand had issues with it!! ha ha I love you Jillian!

Tuesday was by far one of my favorite days! We went to Disney Hollywood Studios!! First thing we went to was the Beauty and the Beast Show!! It was so amazing! After that we headed to the Rockin Roller Coaster!! (Linds those pics are on Jills camera) On the way to the roller coaster we found out just how fun the Florida rain is!! When it rains in Florida it pours!! We got stuck under the umbrella..... ( thanks Mom, that was the best thing I brought). The Rockin Roller Coaster is by far one of the busiest rides so we got fast passes for it and headed to other shows! We saw Little Mermaid and The Muppets 3D movie and even had some lunch!! Then it was back to the Roller coaster!! By far the best ride I have ever been on!! Standing in the rain all day was way worth it! Linds- you need to go!! All in all the 2nd day was going to be hard to beat!! Belle, Aerosmith, rain, and raisin feet!! ha ha

Wednesday we headed back to the Magic Kingdom to see the Parade and Shopping!! I of course wanted to go and ride Pirates again and Jillian was a good sport and went along with me!! ( I owe you for that Jig) The parade was fun!! All of the characters loved Jillian!! Two of them even kissed her hand!! lol I think that our favorite part of the Magic Kingdom was the Castle!! Wow, I wish I was Cinderella!! Ha ha !!! It was a fun day of shopping!! Oh ya, did I forget to mention it rained.....

Thursday we went to EPCOT!!! I cannot believe all of the stuff they have to do there!! It is so fun!! Jillian's favorite part was Honey I Shrunk the Audience!! ha ha Just Kidding!! She loved Soaring over California and I felt bad we only went on that once!! But it was by far the most popular ride at the park!! After all of the rides we headed around the lake! They have different countries that you can visit! It was so awesome to see!! Thursday was by far our tired day so after EPCOT we headed back and had a nap!! We were woken up by the Fire Alarm and had to evacuate the building!! ha ha But no worries there was no fire.....it was just a little boy who thought it would be funny!! I don't think he was laughing when the fire department showed up!! Yes Thursday we learned that Every Body Comes Out Tired, fire alarms are loud and Jillian loves Michael Jackson!!

Friday we decided that we would go to Universal Studios and save the sunny day for the pool!! Well when we got there it was Hot!! The sun decided to shine!! I love the Florida sun when I can see it!! Universal was probably one of the funnest days! The Mummy Returns ride was one of my favorites!! It was CRAZY!! We went on Jaws, E.T., saw a Beetle Juice show, but I think our FAVORITE was The Simpsons!! That wasn't anything like I thought it was going to be!! It was so much fun!! After that we decided that we wanted to go and see the Shreck 4D movie! That was so much fun!! When we came out we got stuck in a thunderstorm!! It was crazy!! It lasted for an hour or two!! The lightning was hitting so close to us and it was raining so hard that we couldn't believe all of the people that kept on walking out in it!! When the rain stopped we headed to Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe!! Yummy!!

Saturday we slept in, sat by the pool and actually soaked up the Florida sun!! It was so fun just to relax and take in everything!! I couldn't believe all of the Lizards that are there!! They would almost come up to you!! We walked around and did some shopping too!!! And once again we got caught in the rain!! Thank goodness we got smart and bought ponchos!! ha ha

Sunday was bitter sweet!! I was sad to leave but ready to come home!!

Florida is FASCINATING!! There is so much to do and you barely have time to do it all!! Thanks Jillian for going with me!! There is no one in the world that I would rather go with!! You are the best friend that anyone could ask for! I don't know what I would do with out ya!! Ramada!!

6 MONTHS AND BABY FOOD!!!

It is so CRAZY how time flies by!! Jackson is going to be Six months old in a week!! I cannot believe it! They grow up so fast! He learns something new every day! I cannot wait to see what he can do in the next six months!!

Keli told me this morning that they have started feeding him some cereal and fruit! She warned me that he doesn't like it very much but he needed to try it! Here are some pictures so you can see just how much he likes to keep it in his mouth!!! And can I just say even though he made a mess he is pretty DANG cute!

Getting ready!!

Look at that face!!

YUMMY!!!

SUMMER IS HERE!!

Wow, June has been really busy!! The kids are all out of school and my life has gotten very CRAZY!! We have had a really good summer so far!

Morgan is having fun with all of her friends! The first thing she asks every morning is if she can play!! I think that it is so cute!


Britton started Kickball! He actually is starting to like it! I don't know if he really likes it or if it is because his friend and cousin Zac is on his team!!




Tyler follows his older brother everywhere! He tells me all the time that Britton is my best friend! He is getting so big!




Jackson grows everyday! He has started talking more and more! (da da da) He is learning how to sit up and he has started grabbing things!! He is such a happy baby but he won't giggle! He smiles really big but we have yet to hear him giggle!! He is such a good baby!!




I love these four kids! I know I say it all the time but I am so happy that I get to spend everyday with them! They are my world!!

WOW, WHAT A WEEK!!

TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!

Tuesday night Becky and her girls, Shelli, Jillian and me went to Taylor Swift! Becky didn't tell her girls until an hour before! We had Sydnee read a card out loud to find out what the surprise was! This is what it said:

Today is the day, it is here at last

Your days of guessing are in the past

We got you something you will go CRAZY for

So grab your stuff and lets head out the door

We think that this is the best gift

Lets go to a concert and see

TAYLOR SWIFT!!

Kenzie was so excited, and I think Sydnee was in shock! When we got to the concert the girls got shirts and then we headed to our seats! Glorianna opened up for Taylor! They were really good! But we were all anxious for her to come out! When the lights dimmed Kenzie freaked out! It was so fun to watch Kenzie and Syd! I think they both loved every minute of it! My favorite part was when she came out in a Jazz jersey and sang! Taylor Swift put on an awesome show! It is probably the best concert I have ever been to. Even better than Rascal Flatts... and that says a lot because they are my favorite!! I love that she is such a good role model for kids! She was AMAZING! At the concert she had costume changes, Skits, there wasn't one boring moment! She is so talented and I am so glad that the girls got to go and see her in concert! I had so much fun singing until my throat hurt, dancing and just being with the girls! Thanks for letting me tag a long girls!! It was so much fun!!

THOMAS THE TRAIN/ DEER CREEK

Memorial day was a day of go go go!! But It was so much fun! We woke up early and got ready and headed to Heber to see Thomas the Train. Morgan was excited this year because Addisyn got to come along! Tyler was so excited the whole way up! When we got to the station and saw Thomas the boys screamed and clapped! They were so excited! This year we planned it exactly right so we had time to do all of the fun activities before the train ride. First stop was the tattoos. Morgan and Addisyn got pink trains, Britton got Herold the Helicopter and Tyler, of course got Thomas! Then we headed to the petting zoo, the activity center and we even got to meet Sir Toppin Hat!! lol ( I think that is how it is spelled) The train ride was fun!! Short but just enough for the kids to have fun. Tyler and Britton got to meet the conductor! They were pretty excited about that!

After Thomas we headed to Deer Creek to soak up the sun! I had so much fun catching up with everyone and riding in the boat! Keli didn't want her kids to get wet but we put life jackets on them anyway being that close to the water! It is a good thing we did because Tyler leaned a little too far and fell in! Good thing Zac was there to help him out!! Man, that was scary! Over all It was a really fun day! I think that we need to go up there again!

It has been one of those weeks where I swear I haven't had a minute to sleep! I have had so much fun with my family and I am so Glad that I got to share these experiences with them!!

ROLLIN' OVER

April 7 th was an awesome day!! Jackson rolled over for the first time! We were at Becky's house and Max was playing with him and showing him how to roll and then all of the sudden he did it!! I had to grab the camera so Keli could see it! After he tried it once then he loved doing it! Now we can't keep him from moving!! Jack is such a good and happy baby! He is getting so big and FUN!! Jackson weighed 17.8 lbs and he is 27 inches long at 3 and a half months!! Yes he is a big baby!! He loves his swing, playing with his toys and telling Morgan stories!! I love that I get to spend everyday with him!! He is changing so much!! He is a good baby!!

SILLY STACY!

The other day Tyler asked me if he could take his bubble mower outside and mow the lawn! I told him he could but he had to get his sandals on. It was warm that day so he had shorts and a tank top on! When I went out to see if he got them on I couldn't help but laugh! There he was out there just singing away with his snow boots and a beanie!! His cheeks were bright red!! I asked him if he was okay and all he said was "Silly Stacy, I'm workin." Ha ha He says the funniest things! I had to run and grab my camera because he looked so cute! I just love Tyler so much! He is such a cute little boy and a big helper!!

TYLER IS 4!!

Today is Tyler's 4 th Birthday!! I cannot believe how time flies by! Keli told me this morning that Tyler was the hardest baby to get here!! Tyler was by far Keli's biggest baby! We just cannot believe that he is 4 already! Keli also told me her top 4 things she loves about Ty!!

1- She loves that when he is serious he closes one eye and points!! Ha ha it is so cute!

2-She loves that his favorite place to go in the whole world is BECKY'S House!

3-She loves that his best friend is BEARY!

Tyler's Best Friend is BEARY!! He can't go anywhere without him!
