Fist City 2018

Imagine 40 people in matching shirts going around Disneyland and all those Fast Pass lines together. It was amazing!  I'm telling you, that Max Pass is worth the extra money, especially if you're part of a large group.  Bonus: it was D's real birthday and he got to spend it with cousins and aunts and uncles and ride amazing rides like Indiana Jones for the first time with them.  We had a marvelous time.  Beach days with cousins are fantastic too and later a day at Disney's CA Adventure was pretty much perfection.  I now forgive Disney for changing my favorite ride (Tower of Terror) to Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout because M loves it now too.  (I wouldn't let N ride it even though she was tall enough b/c it had made M cry when she was the same age.)  I made a slideshow to share with my parents on Father's Day when they were over for dinner but it was 38 minutes long so I won't post it here.  But a few of my favorite photos include:












We 6 ended up flying out after the rest of the family drove out and we spent  time taking it pretty easy by hanging out at Downtown Disney and our hotel one day and fulfilling N's wish to see Mickey again, visiting the Marconi car museum, eating shaved ice and playing around Newport Beach, including an epic surrey bike ride.  I'm so glad we could make this trip work and we had even more fun than I thought we would!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
