Another milk incident

I was in my bedroom one night when I heard a clicking noise. I thought that one of the boys was messing around with the gas stove. When I got out to the kitchen the ignitor on the stove would not stop clicking. I tried flipping the breaker and unplugging it but as soon as I plugged it back in the clicking would start again.

Laikynne had been trying to make some hot cocoa and when she went to put her milk in the microwave she spilled it all over the stove. Silly girl! It got milk down in some part (can't remember what it is called) that messed up the ignitor.

Luckiy I married a man who can fix anything. Jaron came home, took the stove apart and it was and good a new. I love you Jaron.

Way to go Landon!!

Landon got an award at school for always turning in his homework on time. Keep up the good work!!

San Francisco

This is where our trip turned interesting. Jaron really wanted to drive up to San Francisco and take the kids to Alkatraz (not sure if that is spelled right). Now I really didn't want to do this because I'm the type of person that likes to stick to the plan. But Jaron promised me it was only a 3 or 4 hour drive to San Fancisco so I said O.K.

We left Anaheim around 8:00am on Friday morning and headed north. Around 10:00am we were just getting through L.A. so I decide to pull out the atlas to take a look. WE STILL HAD ANOTHER 300 MILE OR SO TO GO!!! I kinda freaked out on Jaron because our 3 hour drive had just turned into 8. We finally got to San Francisco around 4:30pm. We parked and headed to the ferry to go to Alkatraz. Guess what we MISSED THE LAST FERRY BY 5 MINUTES! Now I was really ticked off we spent 8 hours in the car to go to Alkatraz and we miss the ferry, AHHH!!

We decide we would walk over to Pier 49. We found an aquarium and decided we would go there so as not to waste the entire trip. The kids got to pet a shark, they thought that was cool. We spent about an hour and a half there and headed back to the van so we could go find a hotel and get something to eat.

So while we were off enjoying ourselves this is what some jerk did to our car. They broke out the back window and stole Jarons laptop which was under a couple of blankets. We figure that they had been watching us when we got the stroller out of the back because the window was broke right where the computer was at. They also broke into 2 other cars and took their laptops.

So our trip got cut short we had to head home. It was 6:30pm (and remember we had already been in the car since 8:00am). We could not stop at a hotel with our window broke out so we decided to make the 12 hour trip home. We had to stop at Home Depot and find some stuff to cover the window. We ended up leaving about 9:30pm. It was a long drive home. I tried to sleep but couldn't because Jaron was talking to one of his friends on the phone to keep himself awake. Around 3:00am Jaron got tired so I said I would drive for a while. I ended up pulling over at a truck stop around Donners Pass and slept for 2 hours with the car running because it was 6 degrees outside and our window was broken.

We finally made it home around 11:30am Saturday morning. What a trip!!

Corona del Mar Beach

We decided we would go to the beach one day. We didn't really know where we were going so we just drove until we found a beach that didn't have any scary looking people (I really didn't want to get murdered while we were there). This is the one we found it is in Newport Beach. We did see a homeless guy laying under a tree talking to himself about getting a tuxedo to go to a party. We had a lot of fun. We left covered in sand and then left it in our hotel room for the maids to clean up.

Disneyland

Here are some pictures from our trip to disneyland. I won't bore you with all the details but we spent 1 1/2 days at disneyland and 1 1/2 days at California adventure. All 4 kids were really good except for the occasional fight over who would be first in line for a ride. We had a great time.

I Suck!!

Ok so my New Years resolution of blogging once a week is not going so well. So I am going to attempt to blog about a few things that have been happening.
