Can't forget to post the picture with Mickey Mouse himself!!

I feel like this is way too many pictures then needed, but my mom is probably the only one who reads this so...these pictures are for you mom!! If you can't already tell where we have been, we went to DISNEYLAND!! Not only was it the best two days ever...it was the very first time that Hewson, Tillman and I have ever been there!! All I can say is that it truely is the happiest place on earth :) Hewson quickly caught on to how awesome roller coasters were, and went on all the really fast ones he was tall enough for! Tillman was happy with all the rides too, until we got stuck on Mr. Toad's ride...it just stopped in the middle of the ride!! The lights turned on and they came on the speaker and told us to stay put that someone would come get us, and we had to walk the rest of the way out of the ride...it freaked Hewson out a little bit too, but he got over it fast enough. It was a hard two days...all the walking and running and skipping and jumping...but it was SO fun! It was even better because we had a "family reunion" where all 59 of us showed up!! We actually became a scavenger hunt...we had our names on the back of our shirts which were numbered and as soon as a gentleman found out our story and why we were wearing those shirts, he started this whole thing and would find us throughout the park, see what our number was, and cross us off his list! Yep, he had a list....it was awesome. We had the best time, and are already planning on going down again for Hewson's birthday in October...it should be a fun surprise!!

GO CARDINALS!!!!

I just have to say KC Layton is the best party planner ever! He put this whole idea of having a Cardinals party together to help support our team and it turned out to be a blast! I had my wisdom teeth out the day before so I was a little out of it, but it was not an issue at all because KC and Matt took over and set the whole house up and BBQed for everyone...I just had to make a couple dips :) It was so fun having everyone over and getting to watch the game with everyone...these three boys were great and watched the whole game getting all excited screaming and hugging when we had a touchdown! Thanks to everyone for coming and pitching in....GO CARDINALS!!!

We went out to the desert with our neighbors (who are awesome) a couple weeks ago to go shooting...as you can see Tillman was a tad bit nervous at first, but he wore his ear protectors the whole time and was used to the loud noises after a bit! It was the one day out of that week where it was absolutely gorgeous...it was such a great time, and my first time ever!! Hewson got to shoot this awesome little pistol with the help of his dad, you can tell he is all boy because he absolutely loved it! Thank you Painters!!

Hmmm....

So I would read others blogs thinking, that is so cute! It's so fun to see what others are up to, but I would never be able to figure out how to do all that cute stuff....well, here I go, trying to figure it out. It may take me some time, but now that I have a computer working at home I am going to try and get this thing up and running...I know my mom would really appreciate it :) So please bare with me here as I learn how this works...
