riding the bus into the park....getting excited!!!

 we're here!!!!!!

 Scared to go on the Matterhorn.....NOT scary FYI

Space Mountain, Ry's favorite :)

His 1st time :)

 i'm trying to look mysterious but i just look pissed, lol! this is us at the HAUNTED mansion!

 almost 6 years later.....yeah i'd say we deserved it! ;)

the go karts which were really dumb, mine kept dying. We're acting like we've gotten into an accident

 an important picture ;)

this is what we did in line, of course. What else would the Bergens be doing??

LOVE this one!

at the tower of terror, way scary!!!!!!

Yup Pretty freaking terrified at this point

appropriate for 2nd honeymooners....

Here's to another almost 6 years (and more)

{Christmas In Idaho!}

Christmas in Idaho Part 2

this is the kids, all in their jammies Santa brought them...

santa found us!

 her face says it ALL!

ry jammed out with Rock Band!

alenna and 'the hey girls' club

the view we woke up to every morning

Christmas morning we woke up to a family of deer right out our room's door!

 

chillin' like villains with their uncle Dusty

{Christmas Eve In Idaho!}

December 22nd we packed up the babies and left for Idaho! 

Let me say, with 3 kids all under 4 those 21 hours it took to get there were pretty agonizing.

 This is us at Big O tire, we needed to get a spare for the truck, just in case...

 It rained, literally the entire way to Vegas!!

It was coming down in sheets!

We stopped in Wickenburg to eat dinner. Poor daddy slept in the car, he had the flu...

Unfortunately, Ryan wasn't the only sick one...

Shaylin, Brady and I all took turns puking our guts out! 

We HAD to stop in Vegas for the night, we were too sick to keep driving...

 One of the best places to stop, we all just had to sleep the flu off.

 We were MUCH better by morning!

we loaded back up, drove another 8 hours, and by 8pm were in Centerville UT, where Aunt Sara lives!

We exchanged gifts, and unfortunately, gave her our stomach bug, sorry Sara! Ah, the joys of family life!

3 hours after leaving Sara's house, we arrived at Bear Lake! 

It was one welcome sight!

Alenna and the cousins immediately formed 'the hey girls' club and soon were inseparable!

we spent lots of time with our loved ones...

 ryan and I took a ribbon tying class, he stuck his on Shaylin...

mommy and Brady on Christmas Eve

 my cute brothers with cousin Sarah :)

waiting on Santa...

Alenna and Ruby were in the Nativity Play

 

we know SANTA!!!!!

*********************************

NONE of our kids cried this year!!

though Brady kept saying, 'Mema Santa??'

 

Santa's baby...

Brady was SO funny; he ran upstairs, put on his new jammies that Santa brought him, and ran back downstairs to kiss Mrs & Mr Claus goodbye!

.....more to come...

{Tis' The Season!}

I love Thanksgiving left overs! 

I made a Turkey Pot Pie which was divine while the kids helped daddy set up the lights outside.

The lights look great, it was really cold that night, so I was glad I made a hot meal for my little workers!

Becca & Colby came over to help set up the tree! 

We love them. 

Our kids are especially mad about them

Shaylin thinks she's helping...

Alenna, Colby and Daddy helped hang the angel on top! 

Its a huge tree!!

All and all I think we broke, maybe 2 ornaments? 

Not bad for 3 kids all 4 years old and under...

and a klutzy mommy

We got the 'trendy' character stockings this year, though I find them hideous.

We're taking our kids to Utah for Christmas and didn't want to lose our nice stockings.

Little Miss Yummy, taking it all in...

We had pie and hot cocoa to celebrate the season!
