Happy Birthday, Mom!

I know a lot of people think they have the best mom in the world, but I'm here to say that they are all wrong. That title goes to my mom and I have at least 5 other people who will back me up on this. She is amazing. And attractive too. I'm just saying.

Trip to Staheli Farm

Yesterday we drove the 2 hours to St. George to go to Staheli Farm for the day. They have little rides, swings, a corn maze, a pumpkin patch (more like small pile of pumpkins), a petting zoo, and a redneck trampoline, which is a mattress set on a pile of hay. The kids LOVED it. They have a sand area where there are little ride-on tractors, a wheelbarrow, and huge pile of dirt. There is nothing that my boys love more than dirt. Seriously. My friend Brooke, who invited us, brought her camera and took cute pictures of the boys. I don't have those yet but I have a few that I took. Bridger loved the petting zoo. He didn't want to touch any of the animals but he just stared in amazement. He especially liked the llamas and kept saying, "Hi mama" to them. Brody liked feeding the horses dirt, rocks, and a little hay. It was a really fun place to take kids and I wish it was closer than 2 hours away. Once I get the pictures from Brooke, I'll post them.

Bridger loves to climb up on Grandpa's lap and share his cereal with him.
Brody had his last day of class this week so they had a Halloween party. It's been so nice to have him in classes a few times a week- it keeps him busy and out of trouble. His poor Batman ear won't stay up and his shoes don't match. It seems to be a pattern with him.

Happy Birthday, Ad!

Today is Adam's birthday. He's 28. I know- he's old. Even though it was his birthday yesterday where he is right now (he's quite a few hours ahead of us), it's not too late to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This picture shows what Adam is all about. He'd rather be with his family than anywhere else. He's a fun dad and a great husband. We love you and miss you and can't wait to be with you again. Muah!

Disneyland+No Children=AWESOME!

There isn't a lot to say. I went to Disneyland for a whole weekend with only fun girls- no kids, no stroller, no diapers or sippy cups, no worrying about naps (unless it was my nap) and no whining (and no non-fun girls). It was amazing. The group of girls I went with was so fun and entertaining. Again, a huge thank you to my parents who took the kids to Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef and gave them a fun weekend, and to Michael and Amanda who helped out when my parents were working.
Eliza, Natalie, Me, Jenn, Brooke, Seana
Don't worry- Jenn was having a great time, she just didn't expect to get soaking wet on Splash Mountain. Thanks for taking one for the team, Jenn!

By the end of Saturday night, we were all so delusional that we thought it was cute to wear ears around the park.

Eliza, me and Brooke on the Ferris Wheel type ride that swings the cages you're in. It made me a little sick, but nothing like this....
Who likes how Jenn and Seana are suffering and Natalie is in the background laughing at them? What you can't see is the other three of us laughing on the other bench across from them.

Natalie's "look".

Two things happened that were completely unacceptable. First, one of the main reasons these Disneyland trips are planned by my sister is to see Billy Hill and the Hillbillies perform in Frontier Land. They are a really funny band that plays hillbilly music and tells hillbilly jokes. The main Billy that we really like took the weekend off so there was a fill-in that was so not funny. It was disappointing and a waste of 2 hours.

Second, when we were waiting in line for the Alice in Wonderland, there was a little boy about 3 or 4 years old with his mom and dad. We noticed that the line in front of them had moved but they weren't moving. They were by a small bush that was behind the little fence that shapes the line and they sure did let their little boy pee into that bush. They were waiting for him to finish and that's why the line wasn't moving. If Disneyland had a potty-in-the-bush police, they would have been notified immediately.

Besides those two downers, the trip was awesome. Thanks, girls, for the fun times.
