It has been said, "the family that plays together, stays together". Well, in the case of our family trip to Disneyland we can also say that the family who invades a hotel together, finds ways to avoid long lines together, walks endlessly together, braves massive crowds together, worries constantly where all the kids are together, rushes to bathroom together, crams onto the trolley together, eats mass packed lunches anywhere together, gives multiple piggy back rides together, shares exit-entry ride passes together, takes pictures together, runs down the hotel hallways together, eats unusual taco meat together, rides Tower of Terror together, take 18 kids under the age of 13 to the beach together, worries together, smiles and laughs together, all while having the time of their lives together definitely-and-without a doubt-stays together! (But we missed Uncle Adam)
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for a family trip we couldn't live without and a trip we'll never forget!

Dance
If you ask Kennedy how she did at dance, she's quick to show you her stamp. She always comes home and tells us if you get a stamp on your hand it means that you did better than your older sisters, but if you get a sticker it means you didn't. The funny thing about this is they don't even give out stickers. Kennedy comes up with some great stories.

Surprise Visitors
I wasn't feeling very well one day, so I decied to lay down with Mckinlee for a nap, when I heard my back door open. At first I thought Rob had come home from work early, but then I noticed it was my parents walking down my hall! Of all days they chose to show up unannounced when my house wasn't exactly in order. Oh well, it was still the best surprise ever. It was fun to see the girls' reactions when they came home from school and saw grandma and grandpa sitting on our couch. My parents are seriously the best parents! Not only was my house not how I would have liked it to be, but my garage and back yard were a disaster - something that had been driving me crazy for awhile. But Rob and I have been so busy doing our floors and other house projects that the other stuff was getting put on hold. Anyways my parents totally helped us clear out our garage of all our old basebaords and scraps of wood and spent all day working in our yard. I was so grateful for them. It was a really fun visit.My kids love having my dad give them a choo choo train ride before bed. I always loved this as a kid too. He would take us all over the house and we especially loved when he would go outside. Then he would drop us off at each of our bedrooms.
Mckinlee just loves having tea parties! Unfortunately, she doesn't get to have them as often as she would like. So it was a real treat to get to have a tea party with Grandma! Now that's some quality one-on-one time!
We went over to my aunt and uncle's for a barbaque on Sunday. It was so fun to get together with them. It's a shame we don't get together more often. They just live in Houston!

Little Sneak

Miniature Golf
For FHE the other night we took the kids to Fun works to do a little miniature golfing. The girls had some free passes from school, so we thought we'd better take them before they expired. We all had a really good time. Even Jaxton took a swing!
Here's Ashlyn after she got a hole in one!

You'll have to watch Mckinlee's version of putt-putt. She finally figured out how to get that ball in the hole! She's too funny!
