Knotts Berry Farm

              My friend Autumn and I took our older kids and my niece Ruby to Knotts Berry Farm.
It sure was an adventure! My 12 passenger van was one big party bus. We packed all of us in a very sketchy motel room, with only 2 full size beds. It took us 6 hours to get to our 3 hour destination.
                                                   But we had a blast and it was all worth it!         

                                                    The pony ride is one of our favorites!

                   Max came off this one a little more motion sick then he would've liked.

                                                                           The swings

                                   I was shocked how much these kids liked the thrill rides.
                                                 They went on those ones with Autumn.

                                                    I was happy to get my funnel cake.

                                           The kids and I went on this over and over again
                                   while we waited for the other group on a different ride.

                                                        We played this game in the lines.

 Pony ride again!

                                We got to go on the log ride a couple of times!

                                          Just looking at this ride freaks me out!

   

The crazy crew that went on this crazy ride!

Daisy and Walt went on every single one of the crazy rides!

 We had a blast!

                     Dad brought Clark and Jane to Chuck-E-Cheese and McDonalds for ice cream.

March Misc.

               I took Hanna shopping and out to lunch at one of her favorite places, Panda Express.
                                              Hanna moves from Primary to Young Women's.

                                                                The life of a toddler.

                             RS activity with the YW. Making Hygiene kits for girls in Africa.

                                           This boy has begged to play football for years.
                             I finally agreed and I'm super surprised how much he loves it!

                                       Max and Dawson after their first game of the season.

                         Danny as scout leader helps advance Tristin to an Eagle Scout.
          I had to document this because Tristin was once in my preschool class when he was 4.
                                 He was one of my hardest kids, but look at him now :)

Daisy is my only child that really gets into reading week.

Jane's First Haircut

Picnic at the kids' school

                               Forgot to take pics with the older ones, but it was a fun day.

                                                      Great job DORAL DRAGONS!

Happy 12th Birthday Hanna!

                        Just a few of my favorite pics. of Hanna. 2 months, 5 years and now.

Max Gets His Braces Off!

                                       Max looks so young when he first got his braces on.
                                                                He was 11, now he's 13.

Me and Max 13 years of age with braces. I think we look way too much alike.

Happy Birthday Clark!

Clark Turns FIVE

How is it possible that this little boy of mine is 5 today?!

Happy 5th Birthday Clark Edmund we love you so much!

At 4 you still had so much baby fat. 

My baby is going away and growing up way too fast.

 At 3 he you would kiss me all the time with your lips just like that.

You loved this little bike.

2 years old.

 Your First birthday

You were almost a Leap Year baby. At the time of your birth I was so worried about you being born on Leap Year. Now I think it would be kind of cool. You were born at 9:20pm on February 28, 2012

We are so blessed you joined our family!
