Ok Ok Ok finally after all the complaining about not having the disneyland pics posted here are the ones that I think are the cutest. Yes Niklas was the only boy.
I think this is the only one that all three were finally looking at us to take the picture. It took about three tries.
and here we are with eeyore and winnie the pooh these are unfortunately the only characters we have pictures of this time because it was so busy as I said before never again am I going in the summer to disneyland.
and here are the kids again driving a car in toon towne of course Niklas thinks that he has to always be the one driving. I hope all of you are now happy that I have pictures on my blog.


I decided that I need to blog about my sons 3rd birthday. Yes can you believe it Niklas is 3 years old. Where does the time go. Niklas had a great birthday we invited everyone to his party it seems. We had most of our family and friends at our house to celebrate with us. We also had some of Niks friends there as well. It was kind of a crazy day to start out. I had my cousin Karie's bridal shower that morning which was really fun to see my extended family. And Cory had Nik at a Father and Sons camp out. Which from what I get they had a blast. After the shower I had to hurry home to get ready for Nik's party. But before I could go home I had to stop and get the balloons and also the cute cake, that I let Niklas pick out.

Then I had to finish wrapping all of Niks gifts from me and Cory. Needless to say it still all turned out ok. Niklas had a blast with all of his friends and family here. He got lots of toys and clothes. His grandpa and grandma Johnson got him his bedding for his new big boy bed that Cory and I got him for his birthday. I have to say that his favorite gifts that he got are the Cozy Coupe Car that his grandma and grandpa Hill gave him. He wanted nothing else after opening that gift. He even cried when I made him open the rest of the gifts.

We then sang happy birthday to him after all the gifts were open and had cake and ice cream. After everyone was gone we took Niklas out to dinner at Wingers with our friends Adie and Brian and of course Nik's friend and their daughter Hayley. After dinner we came back to our house and watched a movie while the kids played with all of Niks new toys. I hope they had fun because I know that we sure did.


I want to thank everyone who was able to come I know it meant alot to our little family. Mindi I know you would have been here. But you needed to be at your Grandpas 80th birthday. Which I consider very important. We will get together soon. I still can't believe that my baby is 3 it makes me sad to think that in 2-3 years he will be starting Kindergarten. I have to say that scares me to death. But I guess I will get used to the idea. Ok maybe not.

I decided that I need to blog about my trip to Disneyland this week. It was so much fun. I went with just a whole bunch of girls and 3 of us had kids so we of course had to take them with us. It was great just being with the girls for once and no husbands. We left on Tuesday morning and went straight to Disneyland. I finally got my annual pass there so that I don't have to buy park hopper passes any longer which is great. We first went over to California Adventures and rode the I think it is called the Bear River and Tower of Terror. We saw Mr Incredible and Elastic Girl or Mrs Incredible in California Adventures unfortunately I didn't get any pics of them. We then went to our hotel and then went back to Disneyland and had dinner at a pretty good resturant in Disneyland we got a lot of food for a pretty good price, then I took Niklas on the rocket ships and then of course the Buzz Lightyear Ride which is his favorite. We also saw a little bit of Fantasia show that evening after getting off the Haunted mansion. We then went and rode Space mountain. I have to say I really love the parent swap option that they give you at Disneyland. I will however probably never go to Disneyland again during the summer. It was so crowded that I had a really hard time even pushing my stroller through the crowds and I am totally not one for the big crowds. I would rather go during the off season when hardly anyone else goes. I don't even care if I go when it is raining. I actually prefered the rainy season because people stay away. But I will admit that even though it was crowded I did have a blast. As soon as I can get my pics downloaded I will add them to the blog so you all can see Nik having a fun. I can't wait to go again. We got home on Thursday morning and I was very glad to be home. I was extremely tired and so was Niklas we slept most of the day. We are so happy to be home.

So I have decided that I need to blog about the BD party at Barnes and Noble. If you are confused by the BD it was the Breaking Dawn release party Friday night. I have to say it was so much fun. Stupid me though I forgot my camera to take pics. Hopefully one of my friends will send them to me. HINT HINT Mindi or Adrian. Then I can post them. We had about a group of 10-15 women and teenagers in our group and we all wore the same Shirts. The shirts were the best ever. Once I get a pic of them I will post. We first went to Mr C's in Jordan Landing around 7:30 pm and we ate lots of samples it was fun. Then we went to Deseret Book to add one person to our already prepaid books. That was at 8:00 pm, then we went over to Barnes and Nobles for the BD Party. What a mad house. It was so crowded but it was a total blast. I would totally do that again. We tried to get on the Fox 13 news but they didn't show are shirts. However everyone loved our shirts. We had twilightmoms.com take pics of our shirts. Also 101.9 the end. I think instead of having a prom dress contast they should have had a T-Shirt contast. I think that our shirts would have totally won. We did leave the party to go get some food. We went over to Jordan Landing got some food. Then around 11:00 we headed back to Barnes and Noble to find the rest of our group. By that time they had kicked everyone out of the store. It was crazy how many people were there. I thought it was great that some of the younger teenagers had their dads there. Then about 11:30 we headed over to Deseret Book so we could get in line. How wonderful is that we went with some teenagers who didn't mind getting in line for us. It was so much fun. We all got our books and then of course raced home so that we could start reading them. I got home around 1:00 in the morning and went straight to my room and started reading the book. Unfortunately my husband then came to bed after playing the XBox around 2:00 a.m and told me that I need to put the book away so that I could get some sleep before I worked at 4:00 a.m. So I finished the chapter I was on and went to bed. I did read all day on Saturday and then finally at 11:00 in the morning on Sunday I had finished the book. I have to say this is my Favorite out of the 4 books that she wrote. Don't get me wrong I really like all of them. For heaven sake I got alot of my other friends to read them and now they are addicts like me. But I really liked how this one just flowed and never stopped. I can't wait for the movie to come in December. And yes I will be one of those crazy people in my awesome T-Shirt at the 12:00 am showing. Hopefully others will want to come to. I think that about sums up my Friday- Sunday morning. I had a blast. I hope everyone else we were with did as well.
