Disneyland!!!

We snuck in a trip to Disneyland this week. Always fun. A little stressful getting there since the kids were a bit slow to help in the morning, but after threatening to send them to school, they got a move on! We didn't go on too many rides, but we did something that each kid wanted to do. I didn't realize until yesterday that we didn't go on one ride that Scotty could go on! Oh well. He was so good and loved watching the Jedi training and playing at the Brother Bear area. That one is always a favorite. Our longest wait was 40 minutes for the Toon Town roller coaster that Atalie wanted to go on. Even Thunder Mountain and California Screamin' were like 20 minutes!

Us over looking the pier before I took Cozette on Screamin'. That ride is sooo fun!
All of us. It was a little chilly, so we didn't stay for any of the night shows. We're wimps, I know!
Wyatt really wanted to take this picture by the Indian. He's so great!
Cruella was very funny. We didn't get a real picture because she was on her way out.

Oh and P.S., we went to Tehachapi on Monday to play in the snow. Thanks Cristin (and Erik) for a great time! It's always worth the drive, even when I'm throwing fits at my fighting kids in the back seat! We need a bigger, more fuel efficient car. I'll try and post those pictures later. Tonight we have Kirsten's kids since they are at the temple with Mom and Dad (we went last Friday). We're taking all of them over to the Wager's for a birthday celebration for Jeremy's Aunt and Uncle. Oh and I ran 11.5 miles this morning!!! Feel great! Getting ready for my race in 4 weeks!! Yeah!

Brotherly Love

I walk the girls to school everyday, unless it's pouring rain or like today, Scotty has a fever, and everyday, Wyatt loves to say goodbye to his sisters. He makes sure that they get a hug from him. If Atalie walks away from him, he'll run out on the playground and find her, just so he can give her a hug! I love it! I'm so grateful for his sweetness, most of the time. Scotty, too, likes to get his fair share of hugs. The best part is the girls don't get embarrassed by their brothers, in fact, Cozette loves to "show off" Scotty. Some of her friends that are there when we are will come up and say hi to him and try and give him and Wyatt hugs. Wyatt also loves to give hugs to Addie and Audrey when he sees them coming up to the school. Addie will usually stop and give him a hug because she is a little affectionate one herself. If we aren't close enough for Audrey, she'll just barely wave and run off, a little embarrassed I think! :) We all have such great kids and I'm so thankful for my own brothers! And sisters of course, too. Kirsten brought me a cookie the other night when I was watching her kids while she was at the temple. I left it at her house by accident, but yesterday, she opens my classroom door at church and gave it to me while I was teaching primary! I felt so loved! Thanks Kirst! I love you all and hope you will have a great week!
