Catching up!

Oh my gosh I'm such a slacker! To be honest, I hate going to my basement to use the computer and it's too time consuming to post from my phone. BUT my incredible hubby just got me a laptop so that will make it much easier.

Where to start? Oh my, it's been busy since my last post. The kids are awesome! They turned 3 on June 8th and we had a huge Mickey/Minnie party. It was a blast!  A lot of work but sooo worth it. We took them to Disneyland in May and it was amazing! They had sooo much fun. Actually, I don't know who had more fun, them or us! And they did great! No meltdowns, no tantrums. Tears occasionally but they really were so much fun! They went on a plane for the first time and you would have thought they were seasoned pro's. Also, they had zero issues staying in the hotel which was also a first. Such good kids! We surprised them with the trip so they had NO CLUE until the morning we left. We just got them up and were like "hey, let's go to Disneyland!" Sooo now they think it's just that easy but they have no idea!

Winter was blech. I'm so glad it's over and we can enjoy the summer weather. Not looking to forward so snow already. :) The transition from 2 to 3 has been a bit bumpy. The "terrible 2's" didn't affect us much. They were loads of fun and generally very good kids but OH MY GOSH it has been different since they turned 3. Like, since the day they turned 3. Someone took my angelic 2 year olds and replaced them with 3 year old monsters! They talk back, they disagree, they want to do everything their way. Rylie is a BOSS! I mean, she calls the shots, just ask her. :) We have been bumping heads because she is trying to take over the role of queen of the house but that is just not going to happen! Silly girl! Max is still pretty mellow and go with the flow but he is also starting to have an opinion about things and isn't afraid to voice it.

We had a very scary incident the other day with Max. We took them to the playland and McDonald's for breakfast and then we were going to go see Despicable Me 2. As they were playing in the playland, an employee was mopping (while the kids were playing mind you) and he came running towards us and slipped on the wet tile. He fell flat on his back and whacked his nogging pretty damn good on the tile. It rung his bell to say the least. He was knocked cold out! It was the scariest moment of my life! I panicked, my husband panicked, I tried to call 911 and was put on HOLD for 2 minutes! ON HOLD?! Seriously??????!!!!!! Anyway, he came to and was very spacey. We got him in the car and took him to the ER. They examined him and said he had a mild concussion. No signs of anything too concerning so we opted out of a CT Scan which I'm so glad we did. We took him back today for a follow up and the Dr. said everything is looking good. Thank goodness. This is the 3rd ER visit this year. We are tracking very well so far! :) Max went in February for a super high fever. Turns out he had a urinary tract infection. Rylie went in April. She fell while holding a bowling ball and hit her chin on the ball splitting it open. 10 stitches total, 2 inside, 8 out. That was another super scary incident. They were with my parents on that one so I got a call from my Dad at work. I cried the whole way up to the hospital. My poor little lady. But she is all good. A small scar but it will fade a bit in time.

I could say I'll update more but let's be honest. :) Let's just say, I'll see ya when I see ya!
