Sweet Sisters

I was cleaning house, and I noticed it was quite quiet, so I started calling the girls names, no answer, so of course I start thinking the worst like ok im going to walk into the bathroom and they will be painting eachother's nails (this happens quite a bit around here), or harrasing the dog in the garage, or playing hide and go seek in their closet from mommy. But as I was looking for them, I happened to look in the backyard and found this sweet sight. Even though they fight plenty, they really are the best of friends, and really do love eachother so much. I can't even explain how much I love my little angels, they bring so much light to my life, and without them I wouldn't have nearly enough smiles, or wrinkles!

Elli's 5th Birthday Party

I know I am so late on this post, considering her bday was November 25th, but I figured I would still show some pics of her awesome party

We chose to have the party at Pump it up! Elli had gone to a couple of parties there and loved it. It's this huge building with inflatable bounce houses, slides and alot more activites. I loved it especially because I didnt have to do ANY work for this...

Some of the cute party guests

Disneyland again!

We werent going to get Disneyland passes this year, but my friend told me about this new deal they are doing where you just pay 69 down,then 5 a month, which helps so much to not have to pay the whole lump sum at once. So last week Brandon finally had a day off, so we headed down and had a great day together.

My beautiful girls and I waiting for the tram or choo choo as Ayes calls it.

All the characters were out when we walked in. Elli was all set with her pen and autograph book.

Aisley is so scared of the characters, if we get her anywhere near them she will start shaking and screaming mommy no no no!!! So good ol Pluto was trying to help her out and it kinda worked. She let me hold her and get a family pic, but she had to be on the other side of Mickey.

We then headed to rides and it was one of those great days when there was no lines! Here we are on rockets, and Bran and Elli on Buzz, they aren't into the game at all, can you tell....

Elli is a great walker around Dland, but towards the end of the day, she really likes to ride in the stroller, and it normally ends up in a huge screaming, hitting, pulling hair issue, but that day they were actually being nice and sharing the stroller. I was impressed!

The next week I wanted to take my nephew to Disneyland. His parents and baby sister had been at the hospital for the past week and a half. We had a blast, Im not gonna lie though. After that trip, I realized I do not want another kid for AWHILE!

P.S.- Rob I know if your looking at this right now you are so mad, but I had to put Ayes jacket on IZ, it was too cold and the sweatshirt wasnt enough, sorry! hehe

Most of you know about my sweet niece, Madelynn, those of you that don't heres a super brief explanation of whats been going on. Jess took Maddy to the ER a couple of weeks ago. Maddys oxygen level was at 80, and she had a collapsed lung, they immediatly stuck an iv in her (she didnt even budge when they did this, she was just too sick), intubated her, put a feeding tube down her nose, and on oxygen. She had rsv and pnemmonia. They admitted her to the children's icu, where she stayed for over a week, it was a roller coaster of a week, xrays a couple times a day, her poor heels were constantly being poked for blood. Luckily Jess was able to pump and they put it through the feeding tube. They transfered her to pediatrics where she continued to get better. I will post more about her in my next post. She still looks sooo cute and chunky in this picture...
