Hanna's Dessert

Every night this week Hanna has wanted dessert after dinner, so I was running out of ideas. She found a box of instant chocolate pudding in the cupboard and graham crackers and this is what she made. It was Delicious, good job Hanna bug!!!

DisneyLand

Last Thursday morning I woke the kids up and told them to get dressed because we were going to Disneyland. Elliot didn't believe me, Hanna screamed and Malory said "OK". Elliot finally realized that I wasn't joking when Brecke and my mom were telling him that we were really going. When we got there the first thing we did was see the castle and ride Pirates of the Caribbean, its a Carlson tradition. The kids didn't know what to expect, Elliot was really nervous, Hanna was scared for a minute and Malory just took everything in. After that we just kept riding rides and having so much fun.

On Friday Beau, Courtney, Cavin and Sawyer met us at Disneyland. It was so fun to share one of there kid's first with them. The kids took turns going on rides with each other. Cavin and Elliot got to do Jedi Training, they were so excited. They each got to wear robe and use a light saver. During the training all of sudden the stage rose with smoke coming out and Darth Vadar was standing there, Elliot freaked out!! The boys each got to fight either Darth Vadar or Darthmall (i don't know how to spell star wars characters names), they both fought Darthmall because Cavin was afraid of Darth Vadar.

Hanna got a new nickname on the trip "Dare Devil" because she rode all the "big" rides. Her favorite were Space Mountain,California Express, Thunder Mountain.

Malory went on everything also, we were all worried about her on Thunder Mountain but she said that was her favorite ride.

My favorite thing were the fireworks and the roller coaster California express in California adventure. We also watched 2 different parades and the kids reaction to those was great.

The trip was amazing and I'm so glad that I finally did it with my monkeys. My mom and dad came along and help me out a ton, there's no way I would've been able to do this with out them.

Back to School

Elliot and Hanna started school this week, Elliot is in 3rd and Hanna in 1st, which means they go all day. Elliot wouldn't let me take a picture of him but Hanna sure did. They both were excited to wear there new clothes and shoes. I hope they have a great year.....

A perfect night

Last night I went and saw John Mayer at Usana, I have not gone to concert in so long. It was a perfect night and sitting out on the grass was great. I went with my cousin Heather and her daughter Dani. We had so much fun and the music was great.

My Baby

Malory turned 5 yesterday and I can't believe it!! We had a Hannah Montana party for her and she wanted a pink cake. She also wanted a pinata and balloons. It's amazing what makes kids happy. It was a fun day.

Elliot Is 8!!

Elliot turned 8 yesterday and I can't believe it. I asked Elliot last night what his favorite birthday was and he said "I don't have a favorite they are all awesome, it's like you ask me if I have a favorite Led Zeppelin song and I love them all."

It was Elliot's year for a friend party so he picked to go play laser tag with his friends, they had fun, after each game they would come out all sweaty and give each other high five, it was cute.

My friend Shandell made his cake and she surprised Elliot and I, he loved it.
