Cinderella and Prince Charming

Cinderella (or Cinder-Kara) got quite a surprise last night when I told her with a very firm expression that she better start pulling her weight around the house and do the long list of chores I had for her to do. She looked shocked. I had to escape the house fast so I did not laugh and give it away. I drove to a different parking area and decorated decorated the car to be Cinderella's carriage. She kept me posted by text on her progress cleaning. I had her really worried! Finally her fairy godmother (friend Rebekah) showed up and rescued her. She helped her get dressed in the Cinderella dress I had made for her this weekend while she was in TN. She was a little sad that all she had was flip flops to wear with her dress. Once she was ready she went to her carriage and drove to the park she was told to go to. Prince Charming (Prince Ti-arming) was waiting with beautiful 'glass slippers' and an engagement ring! She laughed and cried and screamed YES!!! when he asked her to marry him. After dinner they came back to house to tell me all about it. Below is the first photo of the engaged couple. I think they look very happy! So I suppose we will start wedding planning and dreaming soon!

Update

Adalyn is home now and very tired from not sleeping last night. No
pnuemonia, probably a virus. Not much they can do for her symptoms
because meds for that have been pulled off the market for babies.
Thanks for all the prayers!

Pray for Adalyn

They took Adalyn to the ER a little while ago. She is wheezing and
having trouble breathing. they are going to do a chest X-Ray,
breathing treatment and a shot of steroids. Your prayers ate
appreciated.

No wonder!

Here are before and during pictures of me at Space Mountian in
Disneyland. I am anticipating the fun rollercoaster that I enjoyed
several years ago in the first photo. And I did enjoy it again -
enough to ride twice in one day this time. Kevin has always said I
scarred him for life by taking him on Space Mountain when he was in
kindergarten. I always thought he was exaggerating. From the second
photo taken during the ride, I now believe that I probably did scar
him for life!

Disneyland!

After an amazing wedding with Eva & Malone yesterday, we are now
playing in Disneyland. We slept in a bit this morning since Kara has
been going 90 miles an hour for the last 2 weeks. Got here at 10am and
have been having a fun day!

Long Beach - here I come!

I am at the Albuquerque Sunport. Thanks to my little bit of Portuguese
I know that the name of the place I bought coffee at means "good
food". I bought a cup of Seattles Best Coffee to drink along with my
protien bar. :-)
My boys were worried this morning. Brutus was shaking. The suitcase is
a dead giveaway that I'm leaving. But they are in good hands with
Brittney Gunther while I am gone. Eva gets married tomorrow! I am so
glad I get to be there.
