A Small Sampling of the Many Disney Pictures We Took

Disneyland was cold and wet but we made the best of it.  Disney sold us rain ponchos for  the bargain basement price of only $8 a piece!  Yeah, needless to say, they were dried out and saved and put in our emergency kits!














Tristan got picked to participate in the Jedi Training Academy.  Cedric could've done it too but he refused to do it!  Tristan was awesome!  He took it so seriously!  They were doing regular training when all of a sudden storm trooper appeared and Darth Maul came in from one direction, then the stage started moving and Vader came out!  Darth Vader told Tristan that the force was strong with him and Tristan about fell over!!  You could so see on his face that he was petrified and excited all at the same time!!  It's still the number one thing he talks about from the trip.  There is a video below too.

We had a ton of fun and can't wait to go back!

there is another video at the bottom of the next post. it is longer.

Warning: LOTS of Pics!

On Friday we found Grandma Trapp in Utah! Yay! WE went to the Gateway and did a little site seeing.


Cedric went to Build-A-Bear Workshop and got himself a new friend whom he named, Cedric the Great and he is 17 years old.

It was snowing up at Snowbird Ski Resort
On Friday night Grandma Trapp took the boys to my brother, David's house, and had tons of fun there. Meanwhile Jeremy and I met Justine and her husband, Eric, and Lauren and her boyfriend, Donald at Rodizio Grill for supper! OOOOOHHH, it was so good! After that Jeremy and I went to see Jeff Foxworthy at the Delta Center....I refuse to call it the Energy Solutions Arena! He was really good and had this crazy opening group called the Standards. They were like this kinda creepy weird country boy band...with a twist. I don't know, it was strange. I forgot to take pictures of any of it!!!! I'm so annoyed.
On Saturday we went to Thanksgiving Point to the world's largest dinosaur museum. The kid's loved it although Liam through his first and only fit of the trip there!

That's a prehistoric sea turtle!!!!!

Tristan with the Megalodon

The water was freakin freezing!!!
This is an exit between Vegas and L.A. Zzyzx Rd. WOW.
So, on saturday we drove to Vegas thinking we would get a room and then drive the rest of the way to California on Sunday. What a nightmare!!!! I had told Jeremy that Vegas sucked and he has now witnessed it first hand. WE wasted two hours there looking for a decent place to stay, wwhen we decided to just leave. We then stopped at the next town and rented a room only to realize when we got to the room that we had stepped into the movie, The Shining!!! Redrum, Redrum!!!! So we quickly left and got a refund. Drove to the next town and stayed at this creepy hotel that was just barely better than the last one. I tried to get a picture but, somehow it looks better in a picture than it actually was. Anyway, we didn't get undressed and laid on top of the blankets. The beds were still made when we left at 6:30 in the morning!

We arrived in L.A. at 11:00am !!! Yahoo!

Oay, so in the video, it's when we first got there and I sound like the beach nazi! But, I did lighten up and let the kids get in the water and play. In fact Tristan got his entire body in a lot and almost got sucked out to sea by going out too far. Tristan sat right down in the water and I don't know how he didn't get hypothermia. Even though it's about 60-70 degrees right now...the water is not.
Tomorrow we head to Disney!!!!
Oh, and Liam ended up loving the ocean and getting in it alot. I don't know why I didn't get more video. We had to drag the kids away!

We're On A Road Trip

We left Nauvoo at 10:48am on Wednesday headed west. After much prayer, I decided to leave Asher and Cullen at home so that we could spend some quality time with the older boys. It was so hard. But, we left them with our good friend, Jamie Steen, and she's awesome! She used ot be our backyard neighbor and is my visiting teacher now! Anyway, she has them during the day and Debbie(Jeremy's mom) has them at night! As we traveled across the country, I was so thankful that I did decide to leave them home! This pic above is Tristan, Cedric, and Liam all playing their PSP's and Leapster. I must note that Liam is the best traveler EVER. HE hasn't asked us once "are we there yet?" HE doesn't whine. He is excited about everything. He is just down with the whole traveling thing. On the other hand, CEdric is the WORST traveler ever. He has been ever since he was born. HE whines constantly. Every 10 minutes he wants to know how much longer we have. He's thrown up. He gets a nervous stomach. Now he has sworn off eating because when he had thrown up, he had just eaten lunch, so he thinks that is why he threw up! UGH! We'll see how long he goes without eating.

This was taken yesterday in Wyoming.

Driving through the smaller mountains. We arrived in Salt Lake Thursday at 5:15pm! Forgot to take the best pic....of us driving into the valley, Doh!

We took the kids to the Mayan last night. We had to wait for 45 minutes for our table. The kids, mainly Cedric again, we're annoying and complained the whole time while we waited. Cedric and Tristan thought it was too creepy and we're a bit afraid I think. Until.....we were seated right in front of the cliff divers! Cedric turned to me and said " I can't believe I was scared!" They loved it. Tristan and Cedric are pretty sure they want to move here! I feel the same way. It's amazing how much Salt Lake has changed since we lived here. Anyway, we let them run around the Mayan and watch the divers and partially eat the food we paid too much for. Cedric was true to his word and didn't eat. HE just now woke up so we'll see if he eats breakfast.

So, we are having a lot of fun! My only complaint is my boobs!! Sorry for the men who read my blog, you may want to skip the next paragraph. I tried before I left home to leave some frozen breast milk for Cullen. So, I ate crazy amounts of oatmeal & peanut butter cookies, oatmeal, mother's milk tea, and so forth to increase my milk supply. Well it didn't work and I could only leave about 8 ounces with poor baby Cullen. I am very concerned that he won't eat from me when we get home. Anyway, now my cup overfloweth!! My little factory has increased productivity by 300%! No exaggeration. I literally could feed triplets. But, I will endure so the baby can eat when I get home. So many women these days do not breastfeed and I just don't get it. Wouldn't you do anything for your child? Including giving them the best possible food? Even if it can be uncomfortable, painful, or whatever. Which is usually isn't. hmmmm....I will step off my soap box now.

Today we are spending time in SLC and tomorrow we will leave for L.A. and go to Disneyland! I will try to blog again in two days! We miss Cullen and Asher!!!!!!
