Here is a picture that my good friend took of our kids playing the other day. We have been enjoying the nice weather and have spent time outside playing at the park, watching Tanner's soccer practice, and doing yardwork.
We survived Jason being gone for a few days and had a good but busy weekend. When he got home we went and got Tanner's soccer stuff, and then went and watched the Pinewood derby. Tanner is so excited to be able to participate! Saturday Kylie had her dance class, Tanner had his first soccer game. He did great was really aggressive....maybe a little too much he was grabbing other kids jerseys. We will have to work on that! But had so much more fun than t-ball. Unfortunately I forgot the camera I will get pictures next time. Then we did a little grocery shopping, some yard work (I hate weeds!), and then went off to a birthday party at a little amusement park. Once again I forgot the camera....don't know what my problem is!

We are adding another Headrick to our family Sept. 26th, (knowing me it will be more like October but we'll see). I've done a pretty good job at keeping a secret but Jason on the other had has let the whole world know....I wanted to wait until I was at least 12 weeks till we spread the news. We went to the dr for the 2nd time today for my 12 week appt. and everything looks good, saw the heartbeat, and the baby is growing. We are really excited and Tanner has been praying for a brother.....guess we will wait in see in a couple of months!

Friday and Saturday

Friday we all slept in and took our time getting ready. And around 11 We went swimming, although it was a little too cold for me (Arizona really has me spoiled). After swimming we headed back to the villa for lunch while the rest of the fam stayed behind for some much needed sun time. They all went out for lunch at a seafood place....not my thing so I was happy to stay behind. And then went and played basketball and golf, and let the kids get really tired for bed. We had a big family dinner, my mom did a great job in planning meals, easy but good and we saved a lot of money. After dinner we put the kids to bed and had a fabulous time playing games. I haven't laughed as hard as I did that night for a long time. Even my dad joined in the fun. You should really try the bag game it was hilarious seeing my mom try to balance on 1 leg and pick up a bag with her mouth. Luckily she didn't fall over just ended up with a bag on her head. It was a fun night with a much needed ab workout.

Saturday everyone got up and started getting ready to leave, and then took off for Utah. It was sad that the week was already over Tanner always has a hard time at goodbyes and this one was no different. We got to go visit some good friends that we hadn't seen for a while. It was so fun to visit with them and see their cute families. We got up this morning packed the car and headed home. It is always nice to be home...but so grateful for my parents that planned and made this whole trip possible.

Wednesday and Thursday

Sorry no pictures....my dad still hasn't got them to me!

Wednesday we got up and went to Disneyland. It was cold and cloudy and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't that busy. We got on all the good rides with little or no wait. Kylie was so excited to wear her princess dress. It was funny how many people watched her and commented how cute. She was in heaven, although I didn't let her wear her light up princess shoes. The kids were good and Tanner had wanted to go on Splash Mountain since we told him we were going back to Disneyland. We went to Splash and I wasn't going to go so Jason and Tanner went, but Kim talked me into it riding so Trent, Kim and I went and I ended up in the front seat. I didn't think I was going to get that wet but boy was I WRONG!! I was drenched my pants were wet, my shirt was wet, and I ended up wet for the rest of the day. Half of the family left and we sent Paige back with Amy, Kim, and Mom and took the other 2 on some more rides. It was fun spending some time with Kylie while Tanner and Jason were on Thunder Mountain. We got popcorn to share and I had to make sure that I only got popcorn out of my side of the container. She was the popcorn nazi...funny girl! We went on Dumbo, the teacups,and Small World. We met up with Andrea's family and Dad and we saw the fireworks and got out of the park before the crowds. I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Thursday we were back at Disney and we started at California Adventures and hit the Playhouse Disney show, Soarin, and Tower of Terror. It was the first time I had been on it and I loved it. The weather was nice but I skipped Grizzly Rapids. Everyone got really wet so I was glad that I missed that one. We brought our lunch in the park so we just ate while we waited for the other group to get off their ride. I had fun watching everyone go on Screamin, and Amy, Kim, Kenzie, and Steve go off Mailboomer. I loved watching them shoot in the air and watching their legs kick. California Adventures closed so we headed back to Disneyland for a few last runs. Jason took Tanner and went on the big rides while I took the crazy girls and went on a few tamer rides. We had a great time although I was ready for Jason to help me with the girls they were everywhere. I was ready to go so we left before the fireworks and hit Wendy's on the way back to the hotel. Tanner wanted to have a cheeseburger, fries, and chicken nuggets. He must be growing.
We made it back with a little drama.....Kylie didn't want to walk up the stairs she was tired. But was loving life when the kids were asleep by the time their heads hit the pillows.

Home again home again...

We just returned from a nice vacation in Southern California with my whole family. It was so much fun and it was great to see all of my sisters and my mom and dad. We left Sunday after church and believe it or not we ended up meeting Andrea (my sister) on the freeway unintentionally at the same time and followed each other to Newport Beach. We had 3 hotel rooms next to each other and we shared a suite with my parents. My kids were in heaven visiting with their cousins, and we got dinner and settled in for the night.

Monday we got off to a slow start and hung out at the condo, the kids played at the basketball courts, and played golf while we went shopping to get stocked with food for the week. We went to Crystal Cove and let the kids get a taste of the ocean, and then headed back and grabbed a bite to eat at Baja Fresh. We had a little mishap and Jason backed the van into a pole and scratched the van. I thought it was going to be a lot worse then in ended up being. Most of the yellow paint came off. And it isn't dented too bad. Afterwards we headed back and had FHE that dad had put together. It was cute and the kids loved it. For our treat we had a belated birthday party for Tanner and Aiden. We had cake and ice cream it was so yummy.

Kylie got a little too close to the birthday cake

Tuesday we headed to Huntington Beach and had a fun lunch at Ruby's on the pier. It gets a little crazy with 12 kids and 12 adults but it worked out. Afterwards some went shopping and we headed to the beach even though it was a little cold. The kids and Steve headed straight for the water. I was surprised Tanner even got in and had a great time and got in the water. Paige did a 180 from last time and was digging in the sand and running around. She ended up falling asleep on my lap. We went back to the villas and had a BBQ with good old Moroni Turkey, rolls, salad and rice. It was always pandemonium as we tried to cram 24 people in a small area but the memories will be well worth it.

My dad took a lot more pictures hopefully he can get them to me soon!
