Dance and a broken nose

Wyatt has been signed up in a Hip Hop class, and Isabelle in a Tiny Cheer and Tumble class, at the CRC. We had their dance recital on May 30th. They were amazing. While we were in Disneyland, the kids missed class pictures, and I didn't get one of Wyatt with his class, but we got some good pictures of them doing their dances on stage!

Right before the dance recital, I ran Nadja to my grandma's house to drop Nadja off. About 10 minutes later, my grandma called to let me know that they both took a trip down the stairs to her basement. It resulted in me running Nadja to urgent care, and getting some medicine for her, and an icee to help with the swelling. After the swelling went down, we were certain that her nose broke. No biggie though, they don't do anything to fix those things! She was fine, by the way, about an hour after we were home. She sang and danced away the evening with my dad, who sat with her so I could run to the dance recital and see the kiddos.

Disneyland

So, we went to a farewell for a cousin in Las Vegas, and since we were so close to California, we decided to take in Disneyland. It was a blast. We were really nervous about taking Nadja, and how she would behave, but my close friend kept telling me that the kids are always really great once you get there. She was right. All of our kids were amazing! When we pulled in to the hotel parking lot, we let the kids open a little card from their Grandma and Grandpa, that held some money for them to spend on what they wanted. Then, they found out they were going to Disneyland! BEST DAY EVER!!!!!

I think that Jared and I were stunned that our kids didn't beg for everything that they saw. We told them to wait until the 2nd day to decide what they wanted to spend their money on, and they did! We had to have cotton candy for the parade, but other than that, the kids waited patiently and asked how much things were before they decided what they wanted. In the mean time we went on every ride we could, and took pictures with every character we could. Nadja was pretty sick of taking picutres by the end, and would just tell me no by the end of our 3 days there.

Every night ended with the kids totally crashed and exhausted! It was the best vacation and we had a blast! We will have to do it again when Nadja is older and can remember going, but until then, we will have to keep these awesome memories close!

Catching up again!

So, yah, I've pretty much been seriously slacking on this blog business. We have been crazy busy, but I must admit it was just sheer laziness that has kept me from blogging. Now I am kicking myself in the butt, because I have a ton to catch up on. A really brief overview of what we have been up to: Wyatt's birthday was a lot of fun. We did a family party, then we did a friend party which was a blast. We had a lot of fun, even though it ended with a friend being bit by our naughty dog. He's much better now, thank goodness!

The top picture was a little treasure hunt that the kids started the party with.

We did silly string, and we tried to decorate our own little treasure chest cakes, but the cake was too crumbly, and they just made a huge mess. Something that all little boys love right?
