5 am

So,we have been getting ready for our "suprise trip" to New York to visit my parents. They have no idea we are coming, in fact we thre them off by telling them that we would be in OR this weekend. Grandma Brown came over saturday afternoon and hung out with the kids so Jay and I could go out and get some things done before we had to leave.

Right now it's 5:05 am and I unfortunatly awake. We need to be at the airport by 7 and Haper woke up to eat @ 4:30 so i figured there was no sense in going back to sleep if I had to get up to get ready in hlaf hour anyways. Jay and I were talking today about how nice it used to be to be able to just get up and leave the house whenver we wanted to...these days it is like a broadway production to do anything, let alone leave the house. And packing for this trip....a fiasco in itself. Well Grandma came over and played with the kids and here are a few pics she took. Oh and P.S. Mackenzie went pee pee on the potty on Saturday (of course when we werent home. )

Well its time for me to go get the kids up...(sigh)..i hate waking them up when they are actually asleep. :)

We're off to New York,!!! hopefully I wont jump off the plane cause Kenzie is driving me crazy....
