Disneyland here we come!

Our trip to Disneyland with my family. We went in May after Danny graduated, but you know me and blogging it never gets done. So here are a few pictures. Hope you enjoy!
I was so glad when this picture turned out some what decent. Because if you knew that 10 seconds before everyone was screaming.
Standing in line. Codan thought he was so big and could do what the big kids did.

Jadyn's favorite thing was a little roller coaster that was in toon town. She wanted to ride it over and over. When you would get on she would say, "everyone hands up!" The new nemo ride. It was pretty cool!




My Dad and the boys!



Codan loved to play in the water while the big kids went on the rides with Daddy. Thank goodness for mommy there was water around.

We took the kids and had their faces painted in the princess castle Brody got a cool dragon painted on his face and aunt Brookie bought him a cool sword and shield to match. The girls got cute earings. Thanks Aunt Brookie for there things.



After we got the kids faces painted we got pictures with the princesses. Jade was out. After standing in line she fell asleep 10 mins before we got to them. I didn't dare wake her up because she gets so grumpy. Thanks papa and nana for standing in line for 2 hrs.
The sleeping princess!
Happy Faces!!


My Best Friend Anna from Utah. We accidentally planned are trips at the same time. It was so good to see her and Tyler and their kids.

Of course we had to get a picture of the graduate in his graduation cap!

Surprise

So I have never ever been able to pull off a surprise for Danny but I did it! Here are a few pictures of us walking up to the door.
After graduation we had a party. However I'm not a good party planner and a few friends were left out because I didn't have everybody's emails. Sorry for anyone who may not have gotten the e-vite. I tried.


I love this picture. Thanks Papa Trey for your support and help without you this dream would not have been possible.

Thanks to all the family and friends who showed up to support Danny it meant a lot to see his friends there.



The Hopkins Crew. We were so glad to see you!

Carissa and Nick Brinilovich Danny's friend since he was 7 and his wife.

Boys do they ever grow up?
I wish I had gotten a picture of Danny with all his friends but they came and went. Some showed up after others had left. Thanks everyone for coming.

Way to Go!!

For those of you who don't know Danny just graduated with his Bachelors from the University of Phoenix. The Cute Graduate!!


The look says it all. What a priceless picture.


You know who your true friends are when they drag their three kids to sit at boring graduation. Thanks Justin and Sarah and kiddos for your support.


The only picture I could get because he was so far away it was hard to see. So this is the best shot.

Way to go BABE!

Glad nobody got a picture of me crying. I didn't expect to get emotional, but when you have watched somebody work so hard and sacrifice so much for something when it happens it really means a lot. We thought this day would never come and then the next thing we knew it snuck right up on us. A lot of people don't know how you did it while working full time, raising a family of four kids and going through a lay off all at the same time and still somehow managing to climb to the top and never give up. It really means a lot. I know you sacrificed so much for us. We love you so much. Congratulations you deserve it!!


His Proud Parents
Brittany, Danny and Hillary.
My Parents and sister Brooke. They were the only ones on my side that could make it.

We love you Danny.

Little boys

So this is what Brody does when I am off cleaning the kitchen. They had both just had their baths and were playing upstairs. I knew something was up because it was quiet. Never a good sign. Jadyn came downstairs to show me Brody's beautiful artwork. What a silly boy.

Even after we had just finished having a talk this is what happens. I guess I'm not mean enough. But what are you supposed to do. The two of them are partners in crime. Always getting into trouble together.

Rain!

This was the Saturday before Easter. I'm a little slow at blogging so I am catching up on somethings. We were sitting in the house trying to watch the movie bedtime stories with are kids however Karlee got bored. She looked at me with this look in her eye. You know the look of I want something but don't want to ask.So I asked her, "Karlee what do you want?"
Karlee, " I want to go out in the rain."
Now this is not a normal thing for me to let them do because with four kids it's a lot of work. I said ask your dad and of course he said yes! It was there lucky day! I must of been in a good mood because they made it outside.
The girls loved it. I found them swinging in the backyard. Jadyn moved before I could get her in the picture. Brody thought it was a bit cold and actually ended up coming in the house first! I have never seen kids jump in a warm bubble bath so fast. They were freezing.
