What would our husbands think?

So Me and Rob are the very best friends in the world and we tell each other everything, and we are maddddly in love. But I am wondering how many of us stay at home mothers let our kids do things that our husbands would not really love?

Check out the picture of Kaden and his little buddies playing with about 100 of Robs golf balls. I dont think that he would love this!!!

DISNEYLAND!!!

So we took the trip with everyone else in Utah to Disneyland with the three older kids. Thanks to the many volunteers to take Sadie, she stayed home with lots of love!!! We all missed her so much, but I have to say that we could not have done what we did with our super crawler.

We got in the car at 6am on Sunday and it was surprisingly pleasant until the last 2 hours. Hailey screamed and we pulled off every exit we could to gain our sanity.

We quickly forgot about that and had so so much fun in our hotel swimming and loving disneyland. I was in heaven watching our kids on the rides and loved watching madison and hailey dance for the whole crowd while waiting for shows or the parades. Madison got to practice cartwheels in the streets of disneyland. (They are a bit more scary for me to watch her whip out a good old cartwheel with hundreds of people trying to walk by) Any body that knows Madison will know that she whips cartwheels out in the mall, movies, home, wherever. I think her feet have sensors on them. She usually does not hit many things!!

This was our first trip we have ever taken our kids on with out friends or family. It was great to get to spend this special time with just us. I will treasure the memories forever. I think it is the happiest place on earth, I love walking through the Disneyland streets with the happy music playing and the smells of treats.

My Sleepy Baby

My tired little baby girl


Picnic Pajama friday night!!!!

I know we all have these pictures of our kids falling asleep wierd places, but these pictures are from the past 3 days. I think she must be tired from crawling around trying to keep up with her big sisters and brother. She is such a joy in my life.

I loved conference this weekend. I especially was touched with the talk from Elder Ballard about mothers in the Sunday Afternoon session. I think he wrote that talk for me. Here are some things that touched me about his talk.I loved that he talked to us young mothers with little children. When he says "its crucial to focus on our kids for the short span that we have them" Its crazy to think we only have them 1/4 of our lives. "Recongnize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments." I hope that I can remember this every day.

Dont overschedule your children. Does it count if we have bonding time where Madison takes dance in the hall? Water cannot be drawn from an empty well. I love this, I love that he suggests that mothers need to replenish themselves through dates and time away from the everyday things we do .Pray, Study and teack the Gospel. What a wonderful talk this was. I cant wait for them to print it so that I can read and re-read it often.
