a night to remember....

Last night we had dinner at Ellen's house. As always very tasty!! Im going to steal her recipe!!! After dinner was our meeting with the Missionaries. It was really good!! I took a lot more in, asked a lot more questions then before. I feel better about it this time around. I think that last time even though I may have had the right intentions to learn about the church I was more caught up in my own drama, and being very pregnant!! That was in 2007!! Wow!! I didn't realize it was soo long ago!! I could definitely feel the spirit last night in Ellen's home. I loved it!!

So after we said our goodbyes we drove home, put the children down with little effort! And eventually put my self down to catch a few ZZZ's before my 2:30 wake up call! 

About midnight Chloe comes in my room hysterical. She is begging to have her diaper changed! So Bobby being the good husband and father that he is (can you feel the sarcasm?!?) gets up without any demands of me to take care of Chloe. Not even a minute after he leaves the room I hear him cry for help! So up I get!! I knew it was too good to be true!! I walk in the living room trying to figure out what part of changing a harmless diaper could cause such a commotion and then I saw it. 

Chloe, the couch, the blanket, everywhere I looked I could see remnants of last nights yummy dinner. So I gabbed Chloe and started off towards our room. Bobby followed asking what I was going to do with her, surly I wasn't going to put her in our bed covered in poo. No Bobby, the shower! So after she was cleaned Bobby made the mistake of walking into Chloe's room where we found poo and vomit covering both children's beds entirely!! Good job Bobby, remember that ole' saying "thou who finds the poo cleans the poo" he didn't remember, but I sure did!! Lucky for me he did this without complaining!! He is very good at cleaning "things" the children "mess" but the "mess" on the children grosses him out? This mind you is the same man that loved onion rings, but HATES onions??? Anyway, after she was cleaned and in new PJ's and the most of the living room and bedroom that would fit were in the washing machine, we headed off to dreamland again. This time with Chloe by my side just in case there was another accident!! 

30 minutes after we are all snuggled and warm and heading to that happy place, or approximately 1:30 (yes 1 hour before I have to wake up!!) Sophie wakes up coughing and crying. A bad mixture which can in some circumstances to lead to vomit, which I have had enough of tonight, starts coughing that deep rattling wake up the dead cough. At that moment I knew. No work for me today, instead 2 doctors appointments in less then an hour.....

California Vacation part II

It was a crisp 44 degrees on that early Valentines day morning when I quietly walked into the room where Chloe was asleep to wake her for her big adventure! A smooth rub of her back and a soft whisper of words "wake up princess, today we are going to the happiest place on earth." Her porcelain face broke a smile and then her bright blue eyes opened and she said "are we going to see Ariel?!!"We had a quick bath. She was to excited to sit in the bath, we had an important day ahead of us after all. Just as quick as the bath was her breakfast! Great grandma had made a big breakfast to start our big day, pancakes, eggs, sausage... She ate as fast as she could, barley chewing every bite. She was to excited for all of this suspense of going o Disneyland, she wanted to be at Disneyland already!!!After breakfast we got dressed in our Valentines Day dress (that Mini Mouse would die for), pick tails with white bows, red tights, and pink princess shoes!

And finally, off to Disneyland we go!! 

Town Hall @ Disneyland!

She got her official Happy Birthday button.

and then got super excited to see Goofy!!!!

Walt, Mickey, Chloe, and mommy

Sleeping Beauty's Castle, it was scary!!

and of course there was no way she could pass up the Merry-Go-Round!

Tea Cups!

The Tea Cups were her FAVORITE!!! Thanks daddy for making us sooo dizzy!!

This was after she got off of Snow Whites Scary Adventure. 

She didn't like it.

Then daddy took her on Dumbo! 

After we went on Dumbo, we waited in line for 2 hours so she could see the Princess'. She was good compared to the amount of time we had to just sit and wait, or stand rather. First she saw Jasmine, then Ariel, and lastly Cinderella and Prince Charming. This was by far the highlight of her day!! 

Jasmine

Ariel!!

It was sooo cute, after she saw Jasmine she looked over and saw Ariel and got super excited, ran, cut off the couple in front of us, screamed Ariels name, and nearly knocked her over as she gave her the ultimate hug that even the women that birthed her has yet to experience! And with the sweetest, softest voice she proclaimed her love for Ariel.

Prince Charming and Cinderella!

After hugging Cinderella, she spent her remaining seconds snuggled with Prince Charming telling him over and over " I just love you Prince Charming"! It was the cutest thing ever. Watch out Cinderella, here comes Chloe!!

Pluto!

After she saw Pluto we headed across the way to California Adventure where Chloe chose her last ride to be Monsters Inc, Of course she did, she loves " Mike Wabaski". After her cab ride around Monstropolis we headed for the tram to take us to our car. Even after 5 hours of walking on her own two little feet around Disneyland she still had a very tired smile n her face as we left. 

If for no other reason, no other pictures or memories other then the last one above, I believe that Disneyland is really the happiest place on earth!!!!

As im sure you can guess, she was asleep before we made it out of the Mickey and Friends parking garage
