Our dance trip to Disneyland

Phoebe is all the way to the right. Her group is the youngest company at the studio and Phoebe is the youngest girl. They were so cute!

We had no food in our hotel room so after being awake for about an hour with no breakfast or milk, we found Lila helping herself to pizza and root beer from our Camp Rock party the night before.

After spending hundreds of dollars on Disney park hopper passes for two days, it was lovely to see that Sofia had the most fun with a tree and a garbage can.

Ah, Disneyland, the happiest place on Earth. (Someone really should've told Lila.)

Cabin Pics

As with all recent posts, these pictures are incredibly late, but, I love them. We always have a blast at my parents cabin in Happy Jack. Although it's painfully obvious that Grandma is missing, somehow, I feel very close to her there. The cabin has easily become my favorite escape, as well as the kids.

Happy Fathers' Day!

Apparently it took a great holiday to get me back online, again. I just couldn't let a day like this pass by without a tribute to the amazing men in my life.

Dad-
You are quiet strength. You have taught me that toughness is not something that needs to be flashed for everyone to see. Rather something that you hold close and use only when it is needed most.
You listen, instead of talk. I think that is brilliant.
I have ALWAYS felt loved and never felt judged.
You love to learn and read and I always know that you'll have the answers to any question regarding, history, sports, geography, etc. You'll be my #1 phone-a-friend if I ever go on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Most of all, I consider you a friend. I truely stand in awe of how you've been there for Sara and I through this excruciating year. You are my biggest hero.

Casey-
My right hand man! You are my everything.
I have never seen a man who loves babies and toddlers as much as you, (maybe your dad).
Just the thought of you going out of town again sends shivers down my spine. When I have had enough and am about to crack, you step in and let all of the kids wrestle you to the ground and I can breath again. If this home was a glass of water, we would definately be half empty without you around.
Cade wants to be just like you and says to me all of the time, "but, that's not what dad says," or, "that's not how dad does it,". (He'll learn:) )
And the girls just adore you. I think that Sofia may turn out to be one of those girls who never thinks any guy will be as good as her daddy.
Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for being my sounding board. Thank you for loving me as the mother and not just the wife. Thank you for being exactly the way you are.
