Arrived

Thankfully my sister brought her computer so all of us are able to update our blogs while we are here! I will start with the day we left, Wednesday. Mine and Cami's flight left at 7:50 am. My plan was to pick her up around 6, however I was so excited and of course couldnt sleep so I got there are 5:10, she of course wasn't ready because I wasnt supposed to be there that early.

We arrived in Long Beach at 9am and got our rent a car and traveled to Ontario CA to pick up my two sisters. However we had some major time to kill because they didnt arrive till 1pm. So we of course found the nearest mall and walked around there. Not really looking for anything particular I found some shoes!!!!! I had all ready brought 5 pairs with me, Yes 5 pairs. After a while we were getting a bit hungry so we went to a place I love called BAKERS. They have the best burritos!!

It came time to pick up the Ladies. We found some paper and made little signs that had their names on them and another sign that said DISNEYLAND OR BUST. We are such DORKS! After picking them up they wanted to go to the mall we went to. After walking half way around they of course were hungry. After telling them we went to Bakers for lunch they wanted to go. So we went back and walked in to order and it was the same girl that took our order from earlier. She actually recongnized us. I felt like such a dork. Of all the places to go and eat we picked a fast food place.

Later that night we walked around Downtown Disney. It was fun, I got a yummy carmel apple.
And of course we had to go to Target, our husbands teased us because they say we came all this way and we went to Target.

Today (Thursday) was a great day! I will post pics later and tell you all about today tomorrow (Friday).

Kris and Broc are doing well, broc had a hot dog for breakfast YUCK! Oh well I am sure they are surviving.

No More Training Wheels

Well it really didn't happen, the no training wheel thing, but it has begun. He said to us the other day he was ready to take the "little extra wheels off" his bike. Friday we took them off and of course he was pretty scared. Watching him ride his bike it always looks like he has pretty good balance, but after watching him on Friday...not quite. But I think with some more practice he will be a pro in about two weeks. Hopefully the weather will be good so we can practice.

Back Tat

The other day we went to Pizzeria for dinner. Broc has a thing about those silly little quarter machines, so of course Kris gave him a quarter, and he picked the one that had tattoos. Thinking he would get a small one I was excited for him. However when it came out it was the biggest press on tattoo I had every seen, and to make it even funnier (if that is a word) it was a huge rubber duck. Very MANLY I must say. So here is a cute pic of Broc with his MANLY tattoo.

THE BEST NEWS

Many of you know I went in for yet another surgery on Tuesday to have another lump removed. We were very nervous about the outcome because the surgeon didn't know what it was. Well they called on Thursday and said that it was a bunch of old tissue and that it was benign! That was the best news in a very long time. I am pretty sure it is safe to say we are out of the woods. Thanks again for everyone's support and for you love and prayers.
We love you all

Kris, Tracy, Broc

Plenty of Candy

This year we went to the Easter Egg hunt in our city. They had a great turn out and Broc defiantly got the hang of it. He ran out as soon as they blew the horn and ran from one spot to the next. He pretty much filled his basket.
After that one we went up to Kris's parents Easter Egg hunt in their city. Kris's dad oversee's it so we went to that. Of course we were late, so we didn't get to find an egg but we still got a basket of candy. They do it a little bit different up there, they just throw plastic eggs out and once you get one it has a number on it and that determines the basket you get. Apparently they have been doing this for years and years. Seemed to work I guess. At any rate he had a great time. After that we went over to Kris's Grandmas and they did another Easter Egg hunt. They just threw candy all over the grass, they did have one plastic egg for each kid with a special piece of candy in it, however some were empty. I then noticed the reason why some were empty was because one of the kids were going around and taking the big candy out and sneaking it into his basket and then putting it back together and putting it on the ground. Pretty cleaver little kid, until he got caught by his parents. I thought it was pretty funny!

On Sunday we had my family come over which only consisted of me, Kris, Broc, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Erik (my bro) Cami, and their two kids Ashli and Spencer. We ended up doing an Easter Egg hunt for just the two boys because of course Ashli is just too old, lol. She enjoyed helping us hide the eggs.

Needless to say we have so much candy and we are not afraid to recycle. JK, but if anyone needs candy please come to my house because we are not huge candy eaters.
Happy Easter Everyone

Happy Easter

What a beautiful day it turned out to be. The weather was kind of chilly but not terribly bad. After church my family came over and we enjoyed some chicken, baked beans, a yummy jello thing, rolls, and a very delious strawberry dessert. We then hid about 100 eggs for just two little boys to find. A lot of eggs for just two boys. But they had a great time. Here are some pics before church. Dont my boys look handsome.
Last year I cut out little bunny prints and put them all over the house, this time I thought about it all week but then totally forgot, so it wasn't as fun. At least I didn't think so, but Broc still enjoyed looking for his easter basket.

3-D Experience

Tuesday we braved the cold and went down to the gateway to watch a movie at the Clarke Planetarium. It was a 3D movie about the sea life. It was really cool and Jim Carey was the narrator. I suggest everyone to take your kids to see it, it was pretty cool. We also rode the Front Runner down, something Broc was dieing to do.
