the Very Busy Week


My head is still spinning from our very fun and very busy weekend and week. The weather is getting warmer and we are starting to do lots of fun things that we couldn't do last year because I was on bedrest.
On Friday night Ian took Caleb and Julian to a father-son campout organized by our stake. They all had a great time, even if they didn't get a great sleep, and are looking forward to the next campout. It was fun to meet up with their friends from school, especially their buddy Beckett.


On Saturday afternoon we headed over to Valencia for a birthday party. We met Abigail and Thomas in the NICU when they were first born around the same gestational age as Caleb and Julian. It is so wonderful to see that all of our kids are doing so well after their early births and it was fun to celebrate with Abigail and Thomas.


On Monday we went to the beach for the first time in two years with Ian's brother and his family and some friends. Jack thought that the sand was very tasty, and Caleb and Julian couldn't get enough of playing in the waves. Next time Ian and I will dress better for the water.


On Tuesday we took the boys to some of the parks around here including Aidan's Place and Coldwater Canyon. The boys loved playing and playing and we had to drag them away.



On Wednesday we went to Disneyland. Ian took the day off of work and all four kids joined us (but no camera- it's just too much to deal with). We got there at 9am and left at nearly 7pm. It was crazy, but unbelievably fun.
On Thursday we had our last day of the friends school we've been doing with all our neighborhood buddies. We've had such a great year so far and are looking forward to doing the Joy School curriculum this fall. Everybody came over for lunch. It was chaos but so nice to enjoy all the growing families around us.


For the next few days, I think that we are all going to have stomachaches.

Whoa! How do you do it all? I think twice about going out just to the local store, let alone Disneyland! It looks like you guys are having so much fun.

I know, it was a little bit (or a lot) of overkill. I'm still recovering!!

SOunds Like it's time for Mummy and Daddy to relax and then go do something on their own (without the kids in tow).
