Poor Little Piper!

Poor little Piper! She's always keeping up with the big kids! Monday night her and Cash got into Spider man costumes. Not realizing it until it was too late she had put on the spider man mask backwards so she couldn't see very good out of the material. The eyes of the costume were on the back of her head! Well Cash was chasing her! They were giggling and laughing and before we could stop what was going to  happen she ran right into the corner end table by the couch with her forehead! Chad got her up and immediately saw the blood just coming out. All down her face, eyelashes,, lids!  Ouch! Daddy finally got her calmed down and stopped the bleeding so we could see if we needed to take her in! Well indeed she needed stitches! Thankfully we have a very good friend of ours that is an oral surgeon and he met us at his office! 3 stitches later and 1 big goose egg! Poor baby! She was so sad! Talk a bout traumatizing! Cash was crying because he felt so bad for playing and chasing! Sweet Penny cleaned the entire floor and carpet from all the blood splats! I'm not the mom that can move cars in a crisis! I completely shut down! I don't know what to do! I'm not a first responder! Daddy is the hero in this story for sure!! Trying to keep all of us calm! OMG! Then the next morning after I worked I came home to a stitch falling out! I was freaking out! Luckily we didn't need to restitch! Omg thank goodness! This whole experience has been traumatizing for all of us! 1st time for Piper to get stitches and 1st time for momma to have to have one of her babies get stitches! Hopefully it wont leave to big of a scar! Don't mess with pretty! Man are we grateful for our friend that stitched her up and took such good care of her!

 1 wk later it was time to get Piper's Stitched out! I was nervous for her screams but to my surprise she was so brave and didn't make 1 peep! You could tell she was nervous! She had a very serious face lol but boy oh boy she did perfect! So proud of my baby! Now on to silicone patches to minimize her scar!

Sand Dunes!

Quick fun little day trip to the Dunes! We love spending time with my dad and the Johnson's! Kids played all day! It was a beautiful day!

Disneyland Surprise!

Surprise Happy 4oth Birthday Adam! My sister Eryka called me and said she wanted to surprise Adam and go to Disneyland for his 4oth birthday and asked if we could go too! He shares his Birthday with Mickey! How fitting right? Well we totally made it happen and made shirts for all of us to wear just a few days before we went down to Disneyland! Eryn and Joanna came too! We totally surprised him! and we surprised our kids! 1st time I have ever done that! I was so giddy inside! They always know where we are going or what we are doing and boy was that fun to surprise them! It's been quite a few years since we have been to Disney! Cash was the baby last time and didn't even remember going! He kept saying "this is my 1st time here" lol It was the best!!! It's also been a dream of Eryka and I to go to Disneyland together with all our kids! We had so much fun!! We did pretty dang good moving and getting around the park with such a big group and all the little's! We lasted until they closed the park at midnight! lol Well Cash and Piper fell asleep but Penny was a trooper and did not want to miss out! Best day ever! Our new tradition together! Can't wait to get back! We LOVE Disneyland!

The kids loved all the Characters in costume! The Christmas decor was all up and just beautiful! Such a great time of year to come!

The new star wars land was amazing!! The new ride so much fun too!

Cash was finally tall enough to ride big rides! He was in heaven! Having a blast! Piper loved all her little rides that she could go on too!

My honz loved using the food app so there was no waiting in lines to eat! lol We ate all the Disney treats imaginable!

Without even knowing it we would be at the right time and place for all the shows, the parade, fire works, and the snowing! Best day ever! The kids didn't stop smiling all day me either!

Happy Thanksgiving at DeeDee's!

Happy early Thanksgiving with Chad's family! DeeDee always puts on the best spread of food! An amazing Thanksgiving feast for sure! The cousin's played non stop while we visited and ate non stop! lol We also shared what we were Thankful for and it was so sweet to hear what the Little's had to say! Such a wonderful time together making memories!

Sand Dune FUN!

Sand Dune Season in full effect! Love this time of year! Just got back from our 1st trip of the season! So much fun!! Our camp was huge! 22 trailers and families! 1 big giant circle! We celebrated my very good friends daughter's 3rd birthday (Piper's little BFF) out there with a legit bounce house, food galore, and glow party at night! We even got to watch the Golden Knights play on a projector screen sitting by the camp fire! It can't get any better than this!! The kids played non stop and I chit chatted with amazing friends all weekend long! Seriously one of my most favorite times out there! Can't wait to get back with these lovely humans!

Happy Halloween from Jasmine and Rajah from the new Aladdin and Dj Marshmello from fortnite!
