Ok this is the kids new favorite thing to play with JC. They run as fast as they can through the family room past JC and he tries to rope their feet. Then he ties them up. They think it is the funniest thing in the world. The harder they fall the harder they all laugh.
Cody has been occasionally going pee in the potty. So today I went and bought him his first underwear, which is a first in the Young house because the girls do NOT wear underwear they wear PANTIES!!! He thinks he is really cool he even tried to go poop in the potty he got half of it in there, it was a valiant effort. I am sure there will be many more accidents to come but it is a good start. At least I can see an end in sight of the diaper days in our home, thank goodness.
He is showing off his muscles, dang my boy is cute!
For Easter this year the kids and I went to the Valley to see my parents and my Grandma and Grandpa Buchanan. We had a great time Friday afternoon we went to an Easter party with my sis-in-law Maren and her crew. It was fun the kids played games and had an Easter Egg hunt, there are no pictures of Jojo she was mad and wanted to go home the whole time

That night we went to the Easter Pageant and it was great the girls really loved it and Cody sat still for almost all of it. Saturday my big Bro Jason and I took our kids to a place called Bounce-U. it is this really cool moonbouce things that was toms of fun for the kids and Jason to play in. After that all my bros and sis came to my moms house and had abbq picnic

Sunday we went to see my grandparents in Sun City it was good to see them.
The kids made out like bandits from the Easter Bunny they got a haul
i went on a field trip with Sadie's class to Sunrise Dairy the other week. It was not the most fun field trip Sadie was not very impressed she told me she can see cows whenever she wanted to. but she did think it was interesting to see how they were milked. Then after the tour we went to the park and ate lunch and headed back to the school.
I really think that Sadie had more fun then she lets on.

This post is more of a grandparents post. I think they turned out really good!
Saturday afternoon after we got all of our chores for the day done, we all got cleaned up and Sadie was having a bad day so I pulled her into my room while I was doing my makeup and asked her if she wanted hers done too before she got to spend the night at Grandma Vals house. Of course she jumped at the chance and so we did full make up with eyeliner and all. She was so happy that she wanted me to take a few pictures of her.
These are pictures of Jordyn this morning after I took her hair out, she slept in the 4 french braids that I did on Saturday. Have you ever seen so much hair on a 4 yr old.
I found this in Sadie's backpack the other day
It is hard to see but it says "I love you Jen" and it is a picture of JC kissing me. I thought it was so funny that Sadie drew this at school, and was glad it was not of a picture of me yelling at Sadie to clean her room which seems to be what I do lately.
Can you tell who this is. No one could tell this was Jordyn, I think even my mom and sister had to look twice. She looks very different don't you think.
Well it has been a while since I have updated my blog. really nothing major has been going on. We did Christmas and is was great then New Years/our 5 yr anniversary was next. My mom and dad came into town so they could sit for us, Thanks guys it is nice to not have to pay a sitter for once we really appreciate you!
Then it was back to the grind, Getting kids up and ready school (this is a real struggle in our house) and BABYSITTING.
We have made one trip to the ER for nun other then Cody but it was nothing serious as usual and he is fine now.
The only real exciting thing around here is we have a little calf that we are taking care of right now. Its name is Miles, the kids cousins' Parker and Charlie named him while they had him. We bottle feed him 3 times a day and the girls and Cody LOVE him. Sadie gets up every morning before 7 and feeds him before she can get ready for school, then Jordyn and I feed him lunch and Sadie does it again in the evening.

This year, much thanks to my parents, we took our kids to Disneyland for Christmas. We had SO much fun and so did the kids with their cousins. My older brother Jason and his family and my little sister Ashley and her fam and my parents. The only ones who were missing was my big bro Chris and all his, we missed you guys!!! Anyways it was the best time. I thought that I would post a few pictures, my camera was not working so well, I would take a few pictures then my batteries would die so I am waiting for my mom and sisters to send me some that they took.
James, Paige and Sadie waiting to walk over to the Park.
Cody after a long day
She was the only one that he would stand next to, every other character mad him freak out, what a ladies man. (I think JC liked her too.)
We were waiting for the Pixar Parade in California Adventure it was a really neat one. Doree came up and gave Jordyn a hug.
