family pictures

We finally got new family pictures!!! I love them, Meghan Poort took them and did such a great job. I was lucky that my kids were so good, I did bribe them with $5 each if they were good, right away Violet said I want bubbles and water balloons, so that's exactly what she got.

the ogdens moved!

Rob and Jennie moved to Texas the week before school started, my kids were devastated, especially Krew and Jade. Zach was so cute and made krew a necklace and gave him a stuffed animal to remember him by. Kelsie gave Jade a necklace too. My kids are so in to these keepsakes. It was really sad saying good bye, Zach, Krew, Jade and Kelsie were all crying it was heartbreaking! Zach hugged Krew, they were both crying and Zach said"I'm hugging you for 2 minutes and I'm not letting go!" Isn't that sweet. We are going to miss them so much, but we are excited for their new adventure in life. Plus now we somewhere to go visit, my kids have never been on a plane so they can't wait!

4 little monkeys jumpin on the bed

I love taking 4 kids to the doctor!!!So Jade had a sore throat and Krew was just getting over strep throat so we were pretty sure thats what she had, but I needed to take her to the doctor to find out to get antibiotics. Since it's summer and everyone was out of school I had to bring them all, it was pretty much a nightmare. They were so hyper, but they had a lot of fun. I'm glad I went cause she did have strep throat after all.

Doesn't jade look so sick?! She still had some ibuprophin in her.

Disneyland !!!

We surprised the kids and went to disneyland, I found some tickets on craigs list for super cheap so we decided to go last minute. We woke the kids up early in the morning and said get in the car we are going to disneyland, they about crapped their pants. We had a lot of fun!

Tower of terror freaked them out!

I really like this picture of them, Krew looks so old here I can't believe he is 10!

Since it was Jades birthday we let her pick where we went to dinner, she wanted to go to Red Robin, the kids were so good, I'm sure cause they were so tired. The sang to Jade and brought her out an ice cream sundae, and of course Jared smashed herface in it, after she blew out the candle!

Jared knows exactly where every camera is on every ride that takes your picture, and he has now trained our kids to know exactly when to pose. I seriously love them, they kept going on splash mountain over and over to get a better pose. With the no shirt I think Jared nailed it, I'm pretty sure it can't get better than that! He was wearing a zip up hoody, so prior to getting on the ride he took his t-shirt off then once the ride started he un zipped the hoody so he could get it off quickly for the picture, I'm sure the lady behind him was thinking what a weirdo. Ya it might look like it's me back their but it's not, it's a stranger with her little girl! The people looking at the pictures at the end of the ride ere dying laughing and were taking pictures with their cameras of him on the screen.

Violet loved the tea cups!
