LA temple

On Sunday we took a drive to the Los Angeles temple to take a look around at the visitor's center an the grounds.  

(more pictures when I get them)

It's not the best picture, but here is the latest project I've been working on.  The one that has been taking up ALL of my time and EVERY ounce of energy I have....

That's right - baby #5. 

Due September 9, 2011 (how do you like that, Mo?)

  5 kids!  What am I thinking? I am very excited, nervous, scared, and not sure what to think.  5 kids will be a handful. 

Here I am yesterday at 13 weeks. 

I know it's all relative, but I feel like I started showing really early on this one.  I was having to be careful about what I wore when I was just 6 weeks along because I wasn't ready for everyone to start guessing yet.   Because of this and the fact I felt like I had gained so much weight and have been TWICE as tired as I've ever been, I expressed my concern to my doctor that I was having twins.  Luckily, the ultrasound proved otherwise - only one in there!!

Anyway, here's the cute shirt I made for Miles to announce to my family.  If you know Miles and how attached he is to Ben, it fits him perfectly.  As of right now, having a new baby in the house will probably prove to be very difficult for him.

Seriously, the house Koy found for us to stay in was amazing.  They thought of everything.  There was a garage full of toys for the kids to play in, strollers to use, a crib and a play pen, bunk beds, swimming pool, plates and silverware galore.  

This is the room the 6 older kids slept in.  I really thought we would have a hard time getting them to bed, but they did awesome.

 

On the shuttle from the parking lot to DISNEYLAND!!!

Walking down Main Street USA for the first time.  Look at those smiles.  This was both of their first time as this magical place.

Some of the rides...

Buzz Lightyear

Miles was fascinated with the Nemo ride and the fish under water.

Autopia

 

It's a small world

We didn't think Kamri would like Space Mountain so she stayed out with me and Cassie and Mom and Anthony and the babies while the others went on it.  She's glad she did because she got to see Cinderella.  She was so excited and completely in HEAVEN.

 

The first night in Disneyland proved to be VERY cold.  We huddled and shared blankets and coats.  Miles looks warm and snug.

 

The girls and my dad stayed late while the men took the babies and boys home so we could see the show Fantasmic.  It was all about the princesses and evil villains with lights and water and fireworks.  We debated whether or not to stay because it was so cold and we still had to wait 3 hours for it to start, but I'm glad we did.  2 minutes after Ben and Koy left to take the kids home, Kamri was crying because she was so tired and wanted to go with Dad.  But she eventually fell asleep and took a good hour nap.

Yep, it was a long, cold wait.

 

It was a long and tiring day but these girls still wanted to stay up and cuddle with Grandma for a few minutes.

End of day one....

(I only took some pictures.  Most of them I left to the other two photographers and will hopefully have more pictures soon.)
