We had a wonderful opportunity a week ago to go to Disney World as a family and experience the magic. The weather was perfect, the condo and amenities were awesome, the parks weren't to crowded and we all enjoyed our break from life.

On our way home from Minnesota we took a little detour and stopped to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. I was super excited since this was my first time seeing Mt. Rushmore in person and while the heads are big, they aren't as big as you think they are going to be. It was such an incredible feeling to be surrounded by all that history and to remember what these men stood for and founded our country on. It wasn't the warmest of days but once we were inside the park the wind died down enough that we could enjoy looking around. Unfortunately we were unable to see Crazy Horse since this huge wall of fog had settled over the mountain and all you could see for miles was gray.
The heads according to Joseph. 
Brrrrr!!! 
Mama with Joseph, every so often there is a picture of me.

Four very amazing men. 
Keeping warm and being cheesy. 
While we were in Minnesota a few weeks ago our trip wasn't complete until we had made a trip to the Mall of America. We spent all day at the mall and the girls still didn't see every store and the boys didn't get to ride every ride, that is how HUGE the mall is. When you first walk in it is just so overwhelming between the people and the stores you don't even know where to start, but luckily Joseph and Brad were there to help guide us to Lego land!

My awesome boys!!A few weeks ago Joseph had his cousin Brad come over for a sleepover and Joseph was so excited about it that he got his room all ready. The sleepover started about bed time so I thought it would be fun for the boys to have popcorn and watch a movie in bed and they agreed. The boys had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again.
All ready to go!
