Cloe's B-day at Disneyland & Memorial day weekend!

So for Cloe's 3rd birthday we went to Disneyland! It was a lot of fun and the girls had a blast! We spent the first day at Disneyland and the second at California Adventure! The first day went really really well, all the girls were very well behaved and happy. We met Pooh and Tigger and had a blast going on all the rides! We danced in the parade and say playhouse Disney with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Enitstines(spl??) and Handy Manny! It was a lot of fun. Natalie loved Small World and anything with music, she danced almost all day and was so well behaved for only having a 30 min nap. Cloe loved Whinnie the Pooh and the Tea Cups and Nemo and had a lot of fun picking who she was going to ride with. Kala and Elise got to take turns going on the big rides with mommy and daddy so that they could both go. That was a little complicated cause one of us would go with one of the big girls while the other took the other 3 girls and did something else. Kala did Splash Mtn twice cause Elise doens't like that ride. They both did Big Thunder. Kala did Tower of Terror and that was the only thing she got scared on, she was just a little to short to go on Grizzly Rapids and was really upset about it! Elise didn't do Tower of Terror...once again to scared but she did Grizzly Rapids and Robb said she bawled the whole time. She doesn't like a lot of the rides. All in all thogh we had a blast!

Memorial Day weekend was fun, the girls went swimming and we had a picnic in the front yard. We watched movies together and had a lot of fun. Now today is Robb's first day at his new job so I'm home all alone with all the girls for the first time since they have been here this summer! There is so much damage control to do that I think I may just go crazy! I forgot how much laundry and dishwashing there is to do when they are all here. Plus I have to make enough food to feed 5 people breakfast and lunch, dinner enough to feed six! That is a lot when there are usally only three of us most of the year. I think my head is going to explode!

WE need your good vibes!!!

Everyone please send your good vibes too Robbs grandparents, they are both in the intensive care unit at different hospitals. Robbs grandpa was spending his birthday (saturday) out shooting one of the guns he made and it blew up. He has already had 2 surgeries and is going to be having another one tomorrow. He is doing fine but we need him to get better! Then yesterday while Robb's dad Dave was talking to his mother(grandma) on the phone she had a heart attack. They were able to re-start her heart at the hospital but she is in a coma. They said she is breathing on her own but hasn't re-gained consiniousness. Please keep them in your thoughts!

Longest Day EVER!!!

So yesterday we drove to Cedar City,UT to pick up Kala and Cloe. Now this is only suppost to be about a 13 hours drive round trip. There were about 5 car acciednts and traffic was so bad that poor Robb was driving for over 16 hours! We left our house in Murrieta,CA at about 5:30 AM and were suppost to be in Las Vegas by around 9ish well we got there around 10. Then we were going to meet Kala and Cloe's daddy to get them in Cedar at about noon,or one Utah time. Well there was a really bad accident on the way there and traffic was horid so we got there at about 1:30 our time so about 2:30 Utah time! The drive back was really slow cause traffic was so bad and when we hit Vegas to pick up Natalie and Robbs other daughter Elise there was yet another accident so we sat at a dead stop on the freeway for over 20 mins!! We by that point we needed a break from the car so we took about an hour break at Robbs parents place and got some dinner. We figured we would be home around 6pm last night but we didn't get home till around 11:30! There were two or three more accidents on the way home so we got stuck in traffic and one time we had to get off the freeway and go around till we came to another on-ramp! It was just such a bad day!
Oh for anyone one wondering, yes the washer is working now! Not sure what the problem was...I just left it alone and about 2 hours later it started up again! Crazy thing!.

BLAH!!

So I have been running around the house trying to get things organized and stuff for when the rest of the girls get here. I have till Friday afternoon to be done cause we are leavin early on Saturday to go get them. So Dave hooked up the washer and dryer last night..the dryer doens't work yet cause we have to re-do some wireing. Anyway so I was able to do a load last night and we have turned out little work out room into a drying room...I hung lines and everything! That worked pretty well but this morning I started a load and went to check on it and the stupid washer has totally died!!! I checked the breaker and everything but it won't start! It is stuck in the rinse cycle..the washer is full of water and won't do anything! GRRR! I am so mad! I need that stupid thing to work cause I can't spend money to go to the laundrymat! It is just was to expensive and with the girls coming it will be even more! Now I can't get all the cleaning done that I wanted to cause I have all these dirty cloths and sheets and towles and crap that I can't really do anything with. I mean I guess I could hand wash everything but that is such a pain to do and it just takes to long and you never really get all the soap out and yep. So I am now very upset cause I can't get everyting done today that I wanted to. I guess I have to wait till Dave gets home to fix it cuase Robb doesn't konw what to do and he won't be home till late cause he has his last follow up with the doctor about his foot today. GRRRR!!!

Last of the Nail...we hope!

So we had another follow up today and the Dr. said that Robbs foot looks a lot better. He is going to be going back to work at the construction job on Friday and has one more follow up next Tuesday. He wants to be able to finish out his last 2 weeks at the construction site befor he starts his new Financial Associate Advisor position. We are also going to be getting the girls (Kala & Cloe) next weekends so that is something we are really looking forward to! Oh and on Saturday we are going to go celebrate Robbs new job with some friends..we are going to a beer tasting meetup for Lost Abby Brewery for those of you who know what that is. I will be posting a lot of fun new pics on Sunday...oh wait that is Mommy's day and I will be getting a massage and being pampered so I will post them on Monday!

Robb's New Job and nail update

So Robb got the Financial associate job that he interviewed for last week!!! He starts the 26th of this month (May)! He is super excited cause he doesn't have to do construction and he can go to school! So that is the good news, the bad new is that his foot is still infected. We went to the doctor today and they have refered him to an orthopedic surgeon on and urgent status! In otherwords...he may need to have foot surgery. :(. They took x-rays and there is something in his foot still, it isn't part of the nail but they think it is either part of his boot or sock. It could also be a scab or some of the infectious matter hardened. We will know more for sure when we see the orthopedic person. They are suppost to call and set us up with an apointment tomorrow and then on Wednesday we have another follow up with the other doctor. So basically we had a goodish/badish day. Not really sure what is happening with the foot but at least we know that he got this job!

Robb Nail Update!

So on Monday Robb went in for a follow up with the doctor about his foot. The doctor told him that it looked pretty good and asked when he wanted to go back to work. Robb decided that he wanted to be back at work on Tuesday so the doctor approved it. So Tuesday morning he heads for work and within and hour or so of being there his foot got so swollen that he couldn't walk on it and he couldn't get his boot off! So he came home and the pain has been getting worse and worse and he hasn't even been walking on it. So today we went back to the doctor and they said that he has a bad infection! CRAP!! They gave him 2 more antibiotics and told him to stay off it. He was also given instruction that if it starts to hurt more or swells up again or starts to ooze puss or anything like that then we have to take him to the emergency room and he will be admitted. Wow what a week!
So on with the good news! Robb had an interview on Wednesday with a college to work in the Financial department and we are really sure that he got the job! We will know for sure next week. That would be a great job though cause he would get to finish up his schooling for free! I have an audition for Disneyland on Sunday so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I get it! Disney has some really good health care plans and a great daycare!
Well I will keep you all posted on what happens over the next week or so!
