5 Kids, 3 days
Okay I admit I have been slacking on the blog thing. Probably because I have so much to blog about and its a little intimidating. Anyways I guess I will start back at the end of April now that it is the end of May. In the end of April my sister took a trip with a bunch of ladies from the ward to Paris for 3 days. This meant that we had all 5 kids for all 3 days. The first day was a success. We were able to get Brooklyns science fair project set up at school and that night visited the fair as a family. That night however did not go as well. Right as we crawled into bed Nikole woke up screaming that the cops were going to come arrest (dang older sister who told her she would get arrested for stealing the flowers) after laying with her for an hour I got her calmed down and back in bed. Only to have the baby start crying. Well the rest of the night was filled with kids having nightmares and me laying with them and then putting them back to bed. The next night however we went bowling and watched a movie and had a big slumber party in the living room. It was a big success and Makenzie actually told me that night that I was the coolest aunt and thanked me numerous times for letting them "stay up late" and eat popcorn and pizza. The next day we spent at the park at some carnival activity. Overall it was fun and tiring at the same time (which i am sure is what most mothers would say). I was just grateful I had my side kick Kevin to help me out. He is really going to be a great father.

Once upon a time
Once upon a time there were 4 princesses and a prince living in Germany. One night the Queen went to a birthday party while the queen was away a wizard came and cast a spell on them. When she returned she found that they had all been turned into something else. The first princess had been turned into a beautiful tough Football Player
The second Princess had been turned into a pretty silly Clown
The third had been turned into an adorable Puppy
and finally the fourth was turned into a cute Kitty
But it was not long until their little brother and their favorite aunt tried to save them. However the wizard got her too and turned her into a funny looking princess. However Prince Carson got away and ran to get Uncle Kevin.
Uncle Kevin knew exactly what to do. He told them to all take a shower and they would be back to normal.
And they all lived Happily Ever After. The End!

Fall of the Wall
This past week we went to the place known for "The fall of the wall" aka Berlin. We left Heidelberg around 9 in the morning and arrived in Berlin at about 2. Due to our first train being late we missed our next train so we had to wait around about an hour. Luckily the train station is huge so it was easy to find some entertainment. We then headed north of Berlin to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. It was a very humble experience for us both. It is so crazy to think that one man had the power to do so much destruction.
The next day we spent walking around the city and viewing all the historic points. So much has happened in the town but now it is just marked with little landmarks. Some of the things we saw were the TV tower at Alexanderplatz, the Berliner Dom, Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag (parliment building), the Holocaust Memorial to the Dead, the aquarium,check point charlie and the East Side Gallery (Berlin wall, or what is left of it). Overall it was a good day but our feet sure hurt afterwards. The night ended with some weird meat sandwiches and a sauna in our hotel.
The next day we woke up early and boarded a Train to Wolfenbuttel a little town where the coolest German lives... KIRA! It was so fun to see her again even if it was a quick trip. She took us around her town and showed us all the sights there and then we drove up to another town where there was a beautiful castle and view of the city and surrounding areas. We then headed back to the train station in the afternoon. We had a very fun relaxing day. Thank you Kira for being a great host and for showing us around. It was so good to see you again!
