Life Lessons Learned

I was holding Avery last night when she discovered that her cute little finger fit precisely into her nose, which she pronounces noooooe. She stuck her finger so far in there that I thought she might reach China and pulled out a little Avery sized boogie. At this point could almost see the tiny neurons reacting in her amazing little experimental brain and she looked at it for a minute or two before she decided that this could possibly be a food product and stuck in into her mouth. It wasn't in there for long though because she immediately pulled the "yucky" face and stuck out her tongue! I was so humored by this experience and chocked it up to just another Life Lesson Learned. Boogies = Yucky Yes, I am very proud! She is so dang funny.

Disneyland

One Disneyland ticket $143.00 3 nights at a Hotel in Disneyland $550.00 Gas to get to Disneyland $250.00 The look on your kids face when they see Mickey Mouse, priceless!
Last weekend Heather, KrisAnn and I took our little kidlets to disneyland while our mighty husbands went hunting. They're men went for deer and mine went for cows, which is probably a good thing since I prefer beef over vennison anyday. We had a hoot!

I had some trouble uploading the rest of the pictures so this is all we're gonna get!
