Awesome Picture of Lauren

The other day Lauren went off to the bathroom for a while...when we went looking for her this is what we found. She said she learned it from Daddy.

^^^Lauren at Disneyland with Cinderella.
Handicap access passes at Disneyland are the best thing ever. I don't think I will ever go again without having some sort of injury. We were able to get to the front of every line in Disneyland. Even when Brenda wouldn't go I always had some sort of mystery handicap that prevented me from waiting in line with all the healthy people. I know that is bad, but the lines were really long...

We saw this handsome devil eating this sucker and just couldn't resist taking a picture of him.

Newport Beach...a month ago.

Here is Lauren and her cousins buried in the sand. The most eventful thing of the day was I left the keys to the rental van in my pocket and went Boogie Boarding....ya the waves were really big and I got rolled a few times. Needless to say I lost the keys. The rental company wouldn't bring us a new set. Instead they had another F350 econoline van put on a flat bed fron LAX and drove it to us on the beach in Newport in rush hour on a Friday night...Ya it cost me a lot of extra money. But the beach was fun. I also got way sunburned and chaffed my nipples on the boogie board. But other than all that it way good.

This is basically how everyone felt at Seaworld.

Disneyland Pics a month later..

Cohen and his little buddy Mickey.
Cohen smiling after we left Seaworld. Even he thought it sucked. Seaworld was so crowded and hot I think I might have seen a fish or something there. They haven't updated any of the exhibits in like 20 years and they cannot keep up with the crowds.

The Shamoo show was so lame. I swear Shamoo was like drunk and out of shape and barely did any tricks while they played lame inspirational music that I think they stole from Free Wiley.

Last time we came it was cool to play in the tide pool with all the Starfish and creatures in the water. This time they only had a few dried up Starfish on the verge of death.

Then we went to the "shark adventure". The only adventure was trying to see one of five of the small sharks they had in basically a backyard swimming pool with a tunnel under it. It was so crowded and hot it was miserable. We were there for 4 hours and left.
Lauren looking hot and sweaty after 12 hours at Disneyland.
Seaworld. Cohen (not pictured) sitting in his car seat sleeping like he does whenever we do something cool.
Lauren and me on the California adventure land ferris wheel. We were in the carts that rocked. I thought Lauren would be scared but she loved it.

Cohen says "what up" to everyone.

Lauren is "faking asleep" in this picture for dramatic effect...Lauren playing with her slipnslide Cohen gave her.

The Murray Parade on the 4th.

So we woke the kids early and got to the parade by 8:30 am. Too bad the Murray parade is nothing more than a few random politicians and some random businesses looking for cheap exposure. Low candy, lame floats and the fact that we were sitting on a 80 degree angle made for a miserable experience. It was fun however to see all the family and friends. Afterwards we went to Jim's, fought through some crowds of old people, and ate some delicious food.

Here are some pics of the day.

Violence at our House

No these pictures are not of a real war, although they look very intense. This is the annual 4th of July Hardle TANK WARS. Regrettably there was a casualty this year besides the tanks burning down. Brad Hardle received a mortal missile round to his eye and needed to be "rushed" to the emergency room. He was treated for a freak tank fight accident and fortunately he did survive. After a few hours and some eye drops and a few very anxious moments we found out he would be alright. Thanks to the miracle of modern medicine and the prowess of the medical field he was able to save his eye.

If you can't tell this is facetious. But Brad did get shot by my tank in the eye and my mom made him go to the emergency and in fact his cornea was scratched. Obviously this made me the clear winner of the tanks wars. So consider this a warning the next time you think about having a tank war...

Coming Home...

We came from the hospital yesterday. Cohen likes his new house. He did pretty good last night. He woke up 3 times to eat. He is a little piggy and sleeps all day. I have been trying to play with him but he just wants to sleep! Lauren is being a huge helper. She is proud of her little brother. She is adjusting really well and loves being a big sister.

Baby Cohen Trent Hardle

Baby Cohen was born Tuesday at 4:03 Pm via C-Section. He weighed 8.55 lbs and was 20.75 inches. Lindsay has C-sections due to "failure to progress". (Not dilating.) He swallowed a ton of amniotic fluid when he was getting pulled out and had to have about 60 ml of fluid drained from his tummy. He wasn't getting as oxygenated at first so we had to watch him. After about an hour he was getting bigger breaths and we didn't need to do anything else.

He has a bunch of hair and most people say he looks like me. (Mike) Brenda thinks he looks like Linz. Anyway he is happy and healthy. He has been sleeping a lot today because he had his manhood snipped this morning.

We have to be here in the hospital until Saturday morning. I have been taking Lauren home every night and playing daddy care. This morning Lauren and I ate sliced deli turkey and chips ahoy for breakfast. I personally thought it was good but Linz can't wait to get home for some reason. We are up at ST Marks hospital.

Johnny Drama=Mike

I guess I made a Play N Trade blog a long time ago so now it says my posting name is Johnny Drama. Maybe I will figure it out. Wow I feel so cool having a blog. Just so everyone knows I'm eating Top Raman right now.

Last ones into the blogosphere!!!

Hello family and random people that stumble on our blog! So Lindsay is a huge blog troller but doesnt have a blog of her own to show to other people. She says she doesn't want one but I know she secretly does. With the new baby coming and the fact everyone else has a blog, I thought I would start this one. Plus I have 3 other blogs myself that I never use and maybe I can feel cool if someone reads this.
