Primary's and short hair...

Never a dull moment around our house.
I was picking up Mckaela from dance when I get a call that I better come get Brendan (he was at a friends) because he will probably be needing some stitches. Of course I go into panic mode, call Ryan to come meet me at insta-care, my mom to come get the girls and I head to go get Brendan. I rush in side and find my poor little man in tears,blood down his face and a nice BIG cut on his forehead right above his right eye. So I grabbed him and off we went. He was running and tripped and slammed right into the corner of the kitchen table. It got him GOOD!! Surprised the table was still standing. Once in insta-care, which I have now asked for a punch card, they ask all the lame questions as my child sits and bleeds. Well the nurse comes out and takes a look at it and here eyes got all wide and she says...you better take him straight to Primary's. You will want a plastic surgeon to take care of that. So again we load up and head to Primary's. Luckily now Ryan is with me and my mom had the girls. And this whole time Brendan just sat back and was as calm as can be. He was awesome the whole time. So we get to Primary's along with 100 other people, by the time we finally got back to be seen, six and half hours later!!! They were able to put him to sleep and stitch up his little forehead with 16 stitches. Brendan has now experienced it all, from two broken bones, burnt hand, and now stitches but at least he comes out of it all ok and with a smile.

Here area a few pics from the fun evening...




So worn out:( from waiting for six hours!!!)
OUCH!!!the awesome team of doctors.

his famous smile, love this kid!!!

Well on a happier note...
Mckaela has been bugging me for sooooo long to get her hair cut and I have tried really hard to put it off for as long as possible. She has such long pretty hair that I was just not ready to chop it of...well I finally gave in. So last Saturday we went in and did just that...chopped it off. But because it was so long and she wanted it so short she was able to donate her hair to Locks of Love. She thought that was the coolest thing ever and was so proud to be helping out someone else. I must say though...she does look stinkin cute with short hair:)

Our Graduate!!

So we have ourselves a little Graduate, yes it is from preschool but preschool can be very hard these days:) We are so proud of Brendan. He has really come along way this past year and has really worked hard and I think he is ready for the big times, kindergarten!!! The question is "am I?" I can't believe I will have two children in elementry school this next year. Time is really passing us by.
They had a little program, sang some songs and then recieved their cap!


He had a lot of support from his family. We knew he could do it!!

This is Brendans teacher Mrs Gina, Mckaela had her too and we just love her.

Onto Mothers day...it was a great day.

My kids made me the cutest stuff at school and were so excited to give me them that I had to open them on Friday when they got home from school. I also got a new bike. We decided we want to be more adventurous. So we all have bikes and we are going to do a lot of biking this summer.

My mommy and me:)

I have the best kids in the whole world. I sure love them!!

Disney again???

So since it has been soooo long since we last went to Disneyland we thought it was time to plan another little vacation. So we tagged along with some friends that were heading to California, we hitched a ride and off we went:) It was a last minute decision but we had so much fun and we are really glad that the Fishers aloud for us followers to come:) We took off Friday night around six, grab some dinner and we were off. We drove until we came to Buffalo Bills and stayed the night so we wouldn't be so tired on Saturday. We wanted to enjoy Saturday and not have to sleep all day, after all, this was going to be a quick trip for us. Ryan only had a few days off and the kids had to get back to school. So we then shopped for a little bit had lunch and then continued are nice drive with eight people, four kids, ten bags, six pillow, three booster chairs, one tv, lots of games and junk food. We had plenty of room to spare!! NOT! But we still had a great time all together. Once we made it to our hotel ,right next to Disneyland, we all needed to cool off and stretch out so we went for a swim. It was perfect weather the whole time, so we got a little color on our faces:) We even got to watch fireworks from our room. That was pretty cool!! So then the next two days we wore ourselves out by doing Disneyland one day and California Adventure the other and the kids really did good for how much walking you do. But by the end of the trip we were all exhausted and ready to come home to Addison. Which again:( stayed with family and was well taken care of. Didn't miss us for a second:) Thanks again Fishers we had an awesome time with you all!!
The Fishers:)



This is the happiest place in town. We were all happy to have gone and I am sure we will be back soon.
