Disneyland

Our family cleans JJ's office each week and instead of paying a cleaning service our family gets paid to do it. We put the money in a special savings account and then use it for a family vacation. This is something my parents did while I was growing up and I love doing it with my kids now. Well we set a goal to earn enough money to go to Disneyland, and after a few months they did it. We took the 3 older boys and they had a great time. They all went on every ride, even the fast ones and for the most part they all loved it. In fact they can't wait to go again.

Jedi Training

The boys couldn't wait to go to the Jedi Academy and train to be Jedi's. It was really fun. Here are Michael and Gunnar fighting Darth Maul. They did a fabulous job and one again Darth Vader walked away without bringing over any young Jedi's to the dark side.

Happy Birthday Jorden

9 months old and loving the beach.

Yes he still has the dog.

No matter how many times you are told or how many children you have, they grow up so fast and I still can't believe how time flies. As I looked back through his pictures I just couldn't help but wonderer where all this time has gone. Jorden is now 5 and I must say, for the most part, completely wonderful. He is full of personality and completely stubborn, but we sure do love him.

Happy Birthday Axel

Here he is coming home from the hospital. It is hard to believe it has been 2 years already.

Always a happy baby!!

I just loved this picture. When he puts these on, he walks in the room and says, "howdy y'all". He learned that from Gunnar. I just think it is so cute.

And here is the birthday boy, 2 years old.

Halloween 2009

The tooth fairy appeared yet again this year. He gave out tooth brushes to all the adults that came trick or treating. He is such a trooper. All for the cause!!!

Here are the boys, Michael-Optimus Prime, Jorden-Bumblebee, Axel-Tigger, and Gunnar-Wolverine. They had a great night and love the most that mom has let them use their costumes for dress ups. Axel of course had to be bribed with candy just to put on the costume, but doesn't he look cute?
