Happy New Year 2011!

We decided to save money and not send a Christmas Card this past year. So, in honor of a New Year here is my hope for you and your families.......


May 2011 be "INCREDIBLE"

Christmas 2010

We were supposed to go to Disneyland in October 2010, but since we had our car and identity stolen within a 2 week period, we had to postpone the trip. We told the kids we would have to wait till sometime in 2011 to go. They were very disappointed but understood the circumstances. In the meantime, JP and I decided to surprise them before Christmas. They had no idea.

We woke them up early one morning (5am) and told them they had to come with JP to drive me to the airport for a work meeting (I work for JetBlue Airways) cuz only one car was working (not true). We told them to get ready for school cuz once my meeting was done it would almost be time for school to start. Little did they know we had a flight to catch to Long Beach at 7am. So they started getting ready and Mackenzie (pre-teen) starts freaking out because she can't find any of her clean clothes she had washed the day before. (OOPS, I had packed them in her suitcase for her). Then she freaks out MORE cuz she can't find her brush to brush her hair (also in the suitcase). It was PURE drama. Finally we just said...."SURPRISE....it's a surprise trip on an airplane....get ready!!!" They were in shock. Since I've been working for JetBlue, only Mackenzie has gone on a trip with me. So, the twins and Jacob were excited to hear they were actually going on a plane. Once they heard the pilot say Long Beach, they pretty much knew where we were going....It was the PERFECT trip. Get ready for a picture overload!




Waiting for World Of Color...they had fun making FUNNY faces!!












P.S. Kelsey and Kayley also had their 7th birthday the weekend before our Disney Trip, so it kind of turned into a birthday trip too!!! Can't believe my babies are 7 years old. SPOILED!

Catching up.......

My laptop (my lifeline) has been down for awhile now and I finally was able to get my files, pictures and videos off of it from the past couple of months (thanks to my brother, David). So, before I post about our SURPRISE Christmas trip for the kids .....here are 2 videos (coming soon) and some pictures of what kept our schedule busy from August through December.
