Yes, miracles do occur. I am updating my blog for the two people who read it and for my own good. We have been busy and when I get too far behind it seems overwhelming to try to remember it all, so I will just highlight a few of the more interesting things we've been up to the past month or so.
#1 Keeping up with this guy:
For those of you who didn't see the powerpoint I put together, this little guy is a sweetheart, but he has a bit of a sneaky, naughty side to him. For example: He will find and use whatever he can to reach what he wants and usually isn't supposed to have. See below. (Not pictured toy car used as a step to get into drawer) The laundry basket-cake sneak was quite ingenious.
Recently, the little stink produced a permanent marker picasso on multiple surfaces including but not limited to: 3 doors, 2 walls, and a couple carpet markings. Why he chose the permanent marker amidst a variety of color wonder invisible markers and washable markers is still beyond me. Luckily, after a lot of elbow grease, a trip to the grocery store for more rubbing alcohol and a fingernail polish remover fume headache, the mess was pretty much all gone. Needless to say markers are no longer within reach.
#2 Tea Party
See Karlie's Blog for a description of the fabulous tea party we had at grandma Peterson's. ( It does sometimes pay off to be a slacker, less work for me. Thanks Kar :) I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the yummy food. The Cox girls all did a great job in putting the whole party together. I am glad I could share such a fun day celebrating grandma's birthday with the girls.
The Birthday Girl- Love you grandma!
#3 Vacation!
We headed to Disneyland Saturday night and drove until early Sunday morning. Thanks to Josh and Jake for sticking it out, and for getting us there on merely 5 hour energy drinks, caffienated beverages, and In-N-Out burgers. (Gross right?) We went to Disneyland for 2 days, Seaworld, and California Adventure for a day. We met characters, went on rides, spent too much on food and toys :), watched shows, and had a blast. We wore ourselves and the kids out every day. I can't complain because the weather of course was perfect, the company was the best, the kids were angels (most of the time), and Jake left his laptop home...I'm ready for another vacation!

Coops looks a little worried to be on Splash Mountain, but he loved it and went on the ride several times.
