Precious Father, why have you given me this desire to wrestle and then made me such a stinky warrior?

For the last few days Nacho Libre has been Sophia's requested movie. One of the parts she likes is before fighting Nacho tells Esqueleto, "But you are tall and fast like a gazelle". For those of you who know my laugh, well all of my kids have inherited it. So you can imagine what our house sounds like while watching the movie. We can't get enough of it.

We also can't get enough of this guy.

Even underprivileged kids go to Disneyland

Well, we didn't go to Disneyland we went to Knott's Berry Farm. A couple of weekends ago Josh and I took Sophia and Jack to Knott's Berry Farm. Their hotel has a special and for $99 you get one night at the hotel plus two adult admission tickets. Jack was free and Sophia's ticket cost $19 at the hotel. It was a super great deal and we had so much fun. The hotel even has a fun water park next to their pool for the kids to play in. The weather was nice, we didn't have to wait for the rides which is a great thing when you have a Jack, we enjoyed Mrs. Knott's famous chicken dinner, and really had a great time. The next day before we headed home we went to Huntington beach and ran around a bit.

So excited!

This was the first ride they went on and I was so nervous Jack was going to try and climb out.

They really liked climbing around on these rocks.

After seeing the kids faces how could we not pay the $10 for the photo. Josh and I couldn't stop laughing after we saw it.

Out cold.

April in review!

We had a great Easter. The Saturday before Easter we went over to my moms house for our annual egg hunt. It was a lot of fun. The kids search for their eggs and goodies in the front yard and then afterwards the adults have their hunt in the backyard. The adult eggs are filled with money. This year Josh and I took home $48 cash plus a $5 gift card to See's. Below is a picture of the kids in my mom's front yard. They always say cheese but I can never get them to look at the camera.

Easter Sunday we picked up KFC and took the kids up to the canyon. They had a blast climbing around and throwing rocks into the river.

Jack was meowing like a cat and would come up to take bites of chicken out of our hands.

We had so much fun that the following Saturday we went to the canyon again. This spot had more sand which was great for Jonah.

Owen turned three and my mom, sisters, and I threw a surprise party for him. Here we are waiting to jump out and say surprise. It was hard for Jack to stay put.

Right after we jumped out and said surprise Jack threw a cup right at Owens face. Naomi was able to capture the moment. Poor Owen.

My parents stake put on the play Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I took Sophia to the opening night. She wore her skirt from aunt Amanda and looked so cute. The play was wonderful. So much talent. Sophia is really into Joseph (who Aunt Michelle also went to the prom with). She said Michelle should be excited because she got to go on date with him and she's in a play with him. She went again yesterday and said that he smiled at her and after the play came out and found her so she got another picture with him.

Sophia with Grandma. We got front row center seats thanks to my mom who showed up at least an hour before they open doors to be first in line. She did this for every one of the shows.
