Newman Funnies

Harmony and Daniel were quoting the Princess Bride the other day.
The kept saying "Anybody want a Peanut?" Then Harmony got a weird look on her face and when Daniel said it again she started giggling like he said something bad like "Poo" or "fart." I asked her why she was giggling like that and she acted all shy for a few minutes until I pried it out of her! She whispered "Peanut-you know like a boy's pee-pee" Oh boy! I pulled out the Peanut Butter and said "No like Peanut in Peanut butter!"
They just aren't as innocent as they look! :)

SOCCER CHAMPS

Saturday May 17th was a big soccer day for the Newmans.
Daniel made his first goal of the season, he was so awesome.
Harmony made 4 goals in her game and was named MVP of the game.
She also got a nickname of Hatrick Harmony.
Making 3 goals in a game is called a Hatrick (for those like me that didn't know that before).
She is so fun to watch, she really loves the game.

Eva really enjoyed sucking on her grassy apple for most of the game.

Caleb and cub scouts

Caleb recieved his Wolf badge, Leave No Trace Badge, Golden Arrow, Progress Beads, and a communication belt loop. It was a big night for him. Mom pretended like Caleb poked her with the pin and screamed "Ouch!" but then she said "Just Kidding."

Caleb's den did the skit about an invisible bench and that is why they are all in different costimes. Caleb was Inigo Montoya.

Even though Caleb and Dad did all the work, Mom got all the glory.

This was the box that Caleb and Dad made together for one of his achievents. They were finishing it right before scouts. It is really cool and heavy.

Night at the Theater

Caleb's Play was on May 15th, it was "Little Mermaid's Adventures with the Pirate's of the Carribean." Caleb was a shark named Seacrest and he announced the opening of "Under the Sea Idol" he is a pro. It was a fun and good play and he got an "Academy Award" trophy, he loved that part.

Eva is not quite ready for the cultural arts. Luckily it wasn't a packed house so Mom, Dad, Harmony and Daniel took turns following her up and down the aisle and in between the chairs. She even tried to eat a chewed up peice of gum she found on the floor! AHHHH!

New Do

I chopped my hair! I love it! It cool, easy, and kinda sassy! When Harmony saw it she said, "Mom you look like the girl on hairspray, just your hair though, not your body!" Daniel said, "Your hair got fat, Mom." Kids are so good for egos.

California Adventure

Highlights at California Adventure:

Harmony: She had wanted her face painted at Disneyland the day before, but it was $17 ! I told her I had some make up back at the condo and would paint her face for CA. Luckily she is young enough not to realize the artistic difference between a $17 and a free Mom job, she was happy just to be painted. Her favorite ride was "Soarin over California"

Daniel: Daniel's favorite ride was "Tower of Terror" (yeah, he barely made the height requirement.) However we didn't realize just how excited he was. Just as we got in the inside part of the ride he started wiggling and saying he had to go potty. We told him it was too late and that he just had to wait and hold it. Yeah like he has any control by that time! So yes, he peed right there on the floor just as we were about to get on the ride. When we got out I went to the ride operators and asked if we could get a front of the line pass for after we changed him. They went above and beyond-not only did they give us a pass, he also gave us a certificate for a free pair of pants for Daniel! We thought that gesture definitely outweighed the $8 pizza slice we got for lunch.

Caleb: Caleb loved, loved the "Screamin' Roller Coaster" (which so did I, so I was happy to go on it over and over again with him). It is the fastest, funnest roller coaster we have ever been on. I am so proud of my brave amusement park kids, especially because I love amusement parks so much.

Kelly: The motion sickness patch was his highlight, so that his stomach could keep up with our adventure. However he didn't dare tempt fate by riding the whirly, twirly kids rides, that falls into mine and Grandma's duties, we have the stomaches of steel.

Eva: She was just happy whenever someone was kind enough to rescue her from the stroller. She was able to ride lots of the kiddie rides and she seemed to like that. However she did not like the 3-D rides that all randomly squirt cold water in her face.

Cherish: One of my favorite rides is the "Bug's Life 3-D" ride. At one point it feels like little bugs are crawling under your feet and bum. I don't know why that cracks me up so much, especially because I hate crawling things, but it does. I feel like a bad mom though as it is happening and I am laughing my head off while half the kids are crying their eyes out!

Disneyland

Our first day at Disneyland was full of adventures. Just getting there was the scariest ride of the day for me. We had a pretty tight arrival schedule so that we didn't mess up our Ridemax itinerary (Ridemax was a program Kelly found that formed an itinerary for us for Disneyland and California adventure that minimized wait times in line, it really worked!). What Ridemax didn't account for was LA traffic. So Kelly has one had and one eye on the steering wheel, the other hand and eye are on the GPS on his phone, at the same time he is weaving in and out of traffic and exits, with Dad Newman trying to keep up behind us. We finally get to the entrance with less time than we had hoped so Kelly and Dad dropped of all the women and kids while they figured out the parking maze. In the end, we made it on time and kept our precious itinerary.
The next big event was right after the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience Ride" our big group of 10 headed over to "Peter Pan" about halfway there Mom Newman yells "Do you have Caleb up there?" We didn't, and Caleb was lost. I had Eva asleep in my arms, so Cindy and I stayed with the kids and Mom, Dad, and Kelly set off in different directions. After about 15 mins. of not hearing anything I called Kelly on his cell phone to hear if there was any word. Kelly said there was no sign of Caleb but that he had just contacted a sercurity agent and he was going to help us. I decided to go post guard by the ride we had just gotten off of to see if he would think to come back to where he had last seen us. Dad was on his way back from Peter Pan saying he hadn't seen him. I was stressed and worried, but as I kept repeating the prayer in my head and heart, "Please let him be ok, please let him be ok." I felt peaceful, that it was going to be ok. After a half an hour of frantic searching we got a call from the security people that they had him at the "Peter Pan" ride and that he was ok. We raced over there and that is when my tears fells as I hurried over, wiping them as I ran. Caleb had heard us say that we were going to the "Peter Pan" ride and when he got behind and lost us he figured that is where we would be. He didn't know where it was so he asked strangers on his way over where the "Peter Pan" ride was, they directed him to the right place. When he got there and didn't see us out side of the ride, he "excuse me" his way to the front of the line looking for us. When he got to the front and we were still not there he decided to wait until we showed up. Finally a worker noticed him and asked where his family was he said "I don't know, they should be here!" that is when they called the security and we got the word. I think Caleb got hugged and squeezed more that day than he has in a while. What a releif and the day wasn't even half over yet! The security worker suggested that we write down Kelly's cell number and put it in the kids' pockets in case we lost anyone else, Daniel decided to wear it on his tongue just to make sure he was safe.
All in all we had a great day that was lots of fun!
