The next time you go to Disneyland. . .


take a minute to think about this. We finally got to go back on It's a Small World. It's been closed for so long. I was trying to see what was new or different. There was one new area I don't recall from before. The Native American zone, but the other cool thing was when we went into the last room with all the cultures together. I don't remember all the children being dressed in white. Granted there were pink lights cast on the figures, so it wasn't pure white, but I suddenly felt this spiritual similarity betwen this ride and the Temple. Odd comparison, I know, but honestly it made me think and I had to point out to my kids how all children from every race can be looked upon the same way and loved equally, differences put aside. Okay, so maybe this is of course what the whole point of the ride is, but for some reason I saw it from a spiritual perspective. Our Heavenly Father does loves all His children equally. I almost started to cry thinking about it.


Sidney's first time riding the Tea Cups. . . I love the little tune, it's so catchy.

Sidney's new plasma car


We finally gave in and bought Sidney her own Plasma Car. She loved riding the ones the boys had, but it finally became obvious that she needed her own so they could all ride around the backyard at the same time. She loves riding it!

Mother's Day should be more than once a year!


Okay, who votes for having Mother's Day like 4 times a year! Don't you think it's what stay at home Mom's need to recharge their engine and add a whole new meaning to the word tolerance. After this Mother's Day, I just felt so good. Couldn't get enough of my children. I think I might mention to Greg that we need to start a new tradition in our family of having Mother's Day a few more times each year. Greg doesn't enjoy breakfast like I do, so to have him bring me breakfast in bed is SUCH a TREAT! I just love it. And the kids were really nice all day. I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband and terrific kids!

Can't hide the bump anymore

Today was the first day someone asked me if they saw a little "bump" on my stomach and of course I had to say, "yes". I guess I'm finally past the hiding stage of my pregnancy, at least to the point that people won't ask in case I'm just getting fat. The large clothes don't hide anything anymore. For anyone who cares to know the exact timing, I'm just over 23 weeks. And as usual, we don't know the gender despite already having our 20 week ultrasound. Once again at Greg's request. I'm a little more bitter about the secret this time around. Knowing this is my last pregnancy, I just think it wouldn't hurt to have things my way just this once. Sometimes I think I give Greg a little too much say in things. Anyone care to give me advice on that matter?

The baby is growing healthy from all tests done so far. Of course we are hoping for a little girl so Sidney will have a friend to play dolls with, but a healthy baby boy would be great too. I held a little 3 month old baby girl tonight and she was just so cute I can't help but to want another one.
