Blanky Washing Day!!


Cooper is my littl Linus. He loves his blanky!!! My grandma made it for him when he was born and he has dragged that thing with him everywhere ever since. So, on blanky washing day he sits and stares at it flipping around in the washer - it's better than any cartoon or book apparently!



Then finally the moment arrives and he is the first to open the washer!!!

A Move , A Wedding, And Disneyland!!!


July proved to be just as eventful and we're not even done. We drove home from Wis. and packed up and moved to Cedar the next day .... not an easy task but thanks to some great dixie football/basketball players we got it done. We were greated by the Canyon View Football team ready to unload the the truck ..... it was awesome!!!
On to the wedding!!!! My Sis in law Stacy was married on Laguna beach to Charlie Bailey .... it was sweet, simple, and just what they wanted!!!
Next stop Disneyland!!! We were all invited to the Disneyland Honeymoon!!! It is truly the happiest place on earth. We all had a blast. From Toy Story to Indiana Jones to California Screamin' how could you go wrong. Bonus!!! No ER visits on this trip!!


Wrapping up Wisconsin



There were goats and tractors and reunions too!!!! But most exciting was the trip to the ER. HUTCH again!!! We were about to go to see Narnia but before the movie the boys went to use the bathroom. When Hutch was in there he slipped on something wet next to the toilet (I don't even want to know) and his face went chin first onto the toilet!!! They had to glue him back together .... sorry no pics for this event!!!
IF you didn't notice the goats seemed to take a liking to Carter!!!



Back in Wisconsin!!
