St. Patty's Day

Shaun is Irish.  So, every year his Aunt Sherri has a big St. Patrick's Day get-together at her house.  Corned beef and cabbage, red potatoes, carrots and cornbread.  Yummy!  The kids love it over there!  She has an acre with lots of stuff for the kids to do.  Emma rode a cute tricycle the entire time we were there.  When we got home, she was complaining that her legs hurt.  Of course they did!  She just rode a bike for at least 4 hours!  :)  Riley was just getting over the stomach flu and was a little grumpy and clingy at first.  He warmed up after a bit and had fun playing with his cute cousin Lincoln.

Seven Years??!!

Today, Shaun and I have been married for SEVEN YEARS!!!  Where has the time gone??!!  We decided that this year, we were going to take a trip just the two of us.  Of course, we decided to go to Disneyland!  We love going there and have so much fun!  We spent three days at Disneyland.  I had the idea to go in the middle of the week, before Spring Break started.  Best idea ever!  The best days were Wednesday and Thursday.  We walked on every ride.  It was amazing!  Friday was a bit more busy.  But, we had two great days of no waiting at all.  We ate at the Blue Bayou, which we do every time we go.  They have the best Gumbo!   We had a couple of strange experiences.  We were riding the Big Thunder Train ride and all of a sudden it came to a stop.  The trains had gotten too close together and they had to shut down the ride.  We got to walk through the ride, to get off of it.  Kind of cool.  We were waiting in line to go on Soaring Over California.  We heard a little boy tell him mom that he had to go potty.  She told him to wait until after the ride.  I was thinking, lady, are you crazy??  Take that kid to the bathroom!!  A few minutes later he peed all over the floor.  What would you do??  Tell someone that your kid peed on the floor and leave to get him cleaned up, right??  No, the lady says nothing and puts him on the ride!!!  After the ride, I watched to see if she told anyone about the huge puddle of urine in the line and the wet seat.  No, she just left.  So, Shaun and I told the Disney people.  They were a bit disgusted and irritated with this woman.  What the heck is wrong with people?!  What if someone slipped and hurt themselves in that puddle and then someone would have sat in the pee seat. 
Anyways,  I can't believe that seven years have passed since we got married!  I still love Shaun like crazy and love the family that we have created.  Here's to the first seven years of our forever!!!  Happy 7th Anniversary, Shaun!!!  I love you more than words can ever say!  Thanks for being such an amazing husband, father and person!!  I love you!!!

Girl's Weekend!!!

My best friend Shauna called me and asked if I would like to go to Disneyland with her and couple other girls for the weekend.  I, of course, said YES!!!  But, I wasn't sure if I could get Shaun on board with the idea of me taking off for the weekend.  I somehow talked him into it and had my first ever girl's weekend trip.  Shauna and I decided that this would be how we celebrated our 18 years of friendship!  Happy 18th Anniversary, Shauna!   LOL!!  It was soooo much fun!  But, I only got one picture of us.  :( 

Yes, we wore matching shirts!  LOL!!

Emma's 1st Field Trip

Emma had her 1st school field trip.  The Wildlife Zoo.  We had such a good time.  I love this zoo!  You are able to get really close to some of the animals.  We fed kangaroos and giraffes.  And touched them too!  We also got to touch the goats, deer, tortoises, llamas, starfish...  Oddly, Baby Riley was the one who enjoyed touching the animals the most.  He wasn't scared at all.  Emma and Spencer, on the other hand, wouldn't go near the goats, etc. in the petting zoo area.  :)
