a wake-up call...
Okay so I feel right now like I need one of those wake-up calls. You know when life is rolling along great and everything seems to be going your way and you have everything you need and most of the things you want and your family is all healthy and your kids are doing great in school and everyone is happy (i know that was one really long sentence)... and then something happens and you "wake up." Well... I feel like I need one of those. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for disaster or some terrible thing to happen... I guess I just feel bad that I complain sometimes when some trivial little thing doesn't go my way. I have so much to be thankful for... and now I'm awake, I think...
On another note... I was thinking the other day about my little Oompas (my kids, Heidi would appreciate this one). I was thinking about what a scary world we have brought them into... and about how I just wish I could keep them little and under my wing forever... but alas they grow up and they seem to need us less and less in some ways and more and more in others. I am greatful I have such a wonderful family. I am thankful to have a husband who supports and cares for us and would really truely do just about anything for us. Okay I'm done now...

Walt Disney World... and burned potatoes
So today I decided I wanted to try making potato bread. I have been baking my own bread for over 5 years and in the last two years have developed my own recipe. It is tried and true and loved by all who have tried it. I decided this years I would like to try and branch out from my white and wheat recipes. So today I thought Potato. Why not? Well I successfully burned my first batch of potatoes. They smell awful... I am trying again. Hopefully I will have more success this time around. I'll keep you posted.
On a happier note... we returned home on Saturday from the Happiest Place on Earth! I love Disney. I love everything about it. I love the movies, I love the vacations. And aside from pretty much everyone gettign sick one of the days, we had a great time!
Spencer first Airplane flight.... the boys went to disneyworld 5.5 yr ago. Sadie flew to dallas when she was 2 months old.

You gotta love the hotels there!
This is one of the streets in Hollywood Studios. You should all see Disney decorated for Christmas! It was fabulous!!!
Ok so Sadie LOVE LOVE LOVES the Princesses!!!! So I took her to a breakfast. You can't really tell from the pictures (she refuesed to look and to smile)... but she had a great time!
Ariel is by far her favorite!!!! She got an Ariel Sweater, a purse and a stuffed doll of her. You might say she is obsessed
Our traditional picture just inside the gate of Magic Kingdom!!!! This was the sick day... yes we still went to the park that day. Two of the kids were throwing up all night so we let them sleep til they woke up, but we didn't want to miss a day. So here we are having fun!
