Vacation

We finally took a family vacation!  We drove to Disneyland!!!!  We had the most amazing trip! we were gone for seven days and drove straight through to disneyland on saturday, twenty hours.:)  The boys were so very good, thankfully:)  This mine and the boys first trip to disneyland and we already want to go back.  we took the first two days in the park riding everything, our favorite was the pirates of the carribean and splash mountain.  Ayden of course loved everyting and was able to ride everything except the indiana jones.  gGavin's favorite was pirates and i think we went on those two probably ten times a day!  ayden even went on the tower of terror twice which i loved.  My favorite part though was the characters and all the shops to look at.  We got all of our autographs and pictures and i think rode all the rides except the really big rollercoaster at california adventures.  we took one day outside the park and took the kids shopping at build a bear and the disney store and then spent the rest of the day swimming and room service.  They had the most amazing fireworks show and parade, ice cream shops, and so many activities and all of the people we met were so nice!   After that on our drive home we went through San Fransisco and across the golden gate bridge and spent night just outside the city.  We made our way home after that and the drive was so beautiful, i never new that most of california is farms and ranches! BEAUTIFUL! We had the most fun and perfect family vacation, can't wait to go back, maybe this summer lol!!!!!!

        We have been busy cleaning up around the house inside and out since spring is trying to peak out!  We  have pretty much redone the whole inside of the house and have almost finished the kids new craft area in the office!  It is so cute!  Seth built them a wrap around table and we got them little stools to sit on along with the walls decorated with the alphabet and numbers and a map of the U.S all done in bright colors and they have all there coloring stuff and stamps and paint, ect. set out.  They totally love it and i hope it will be a good learning area for them!  Outside we are getting ready to start on a raised flower garden and vegetable garden, hopefully we'll start that tomarrow:)  The boys are definatley ready for spring time!  we signed Ayden up for Cal Rippkin Jr. baseball this week and he is soooo excited!  He asks everyday if he has practice yet, which doesnt start until april 1st.  So, today we went and got them both thier own wooden t-ball bats and a t- ball stand to practice with.  My mom got them both mits for christmas, so they should be set!  Gavin starts in april on a toddler team at the raquet club, so we have been playing alot of baseball at our house lately:)  Ayden's also still loving school and all his little girl friends(it has started already)Today was thier Valentines Day party and it was soooo cute.  They had cookies, which we took, and all sorts of other treats and exchanged valentines with each other.  It was priceless.  Gavin stayed home with grandma and loved it of course because "he's a cowboy"  and loves to help grandma feed and water all the hosres!  That's another project we are starting this weekend, the braking of my new filly "Pepper Ann".  My parents gave her to me and so i'm going to start this weekend with some ground work, she needs alot since she's not really halter broke even!  The boys are excited because they can ride thier pony through the mud puddles.  Seth is excited because he got a new horse too!  Her name is "Caramel"  and she will be here in a week or so!  I am so excited because now we can all ride as a family!

      We have also had both of the boys' birthdays which were a total blast!  We had their party together at the bowling alley and all of their friends came and I think we bowled for four hours!  The boys would have stayed longer, but we were all exhausted!  Afterwords we went out to dinner with Jason and Kayla and their boys. It was perfect and I can't believe my boys are five and three!!!!  We just had Amber and Josh and their little ones over for dinner and it was so great to see them!  We hadn't had dinner with them since summer and it was great to catch up!  Seth and Josh spent most of the time talking about hunting and thier bows, of course, so funny!  Amber and I got to enjoy some grown up girl talk and watch our boys and Makiah pretend to hunt stuff while playing a video game, they hid behind the ottoman with toys guns shooting deer!  It was pretty funny.  Amber talked me into running a half marathon in June with her and I think we have our husbands talked into it also.  It should be fun, and we have been running like crazy to get ready for it!:)  I'm excited!(and out of shape:)lol)

Then we decided to pack up and we went to Cabelas in Lacey! I love that store and the kids could spend all day watching the fish and naming all the stuffed animals, needless to say we only going thier once a year and we spent four hours there and ate dinner there.  It was fun and no crying, amazing!
