Really a nurse...

Back in April, my little sister graduated from Weber State and got her RN Nursing degree! My little brother always teased her that her LPN didn't make her a real nurse, just practically a nurse. But now she has her RN degree and is really a nurse. 

And as you can tell, I was huge and pregnant and totally uncomfortable. 

Disneyland Day Two...

The second day we went to California Adventure Park and had a blast. The boys loved it and once again we had great weather. The highlight for Chubbs was the Bugs Life land area. He loved the lady bugs that spun really fast and probably would have ridden that twenty times in a row if we had let him.  

We made the second day our long day. We got there pretty early and left after World of Color which ended around 10pm. The parade was awesome and we were super impressed. We took a nice break for an early dinner and saved a spot in the shade for the parade. 

The World of Color was awesome. It's a water show that you don't want to miss. I thought it might be lame (I was thinking of the Vegas water shows), but it wasn't like that at all. They spray water up and then project images from different Disney movies on the water and it's seriously amazing. Totally worth it. 

Next post...things we learned from our trip to Disneyland. 

our adventure to Disneyland...

We started off Disneyland with breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen. It was a little expensive, but included parking, the food was good and the boys got to meet a handful of characters and get their picture taken. Overall it was worth it and they had a good time. I thought Chubbs would be terrified, but he warmed up pretty quick and I only had to hold him for a few of the pictures so he would smile and not cry. 

The temperature was also awesome. Not too hot (especially having just come from Las Vegas) and the lines weren't too long. I think the longest we waited in a line was about a half an hour. We went during our spring break, and all those in California had their spring break a week earlier. We also went on a Monday-Wednesday, so we had slower days in general as well. 

The boys had a blast. Chubbs was so excited to meet Mickey, and you get to walk through his house before you meet him. It was great. We went to Disneyland the first day, then to California Adventure Park on the second and third day. I would certainly suggest this as California Adventure Park was newer and the rides were more exciting and had a more than Disneyland, but go to both parks if you can. Also, big plus is you don't have to pay for kids until they turn three, so we got Chubbs in for free!

...more to come!

Whoa....wait a minute....

We had August this year? 

It doesn't even seem like it as fast as it went for us. 

The highlight of our month was the County Fair. 

Mad he couldn't go with Munchkin & Hubster 

 Getting ready to Mutton Bust...

Here is a video I took. And yes, that crazy loud screaming woman is me. 

He did so well!

And my favorite picture from the night.
He looks like such a bruiser here. 

Utah Valley Marathon

A little while ago (yes, you can google the date and see how far behind I am with my posting), my sister, Dad and Hubster ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon. 

They all did awesome considering all of them did hardly any training!

Hubster sharing his treats with the boys

So proud of their daddy!

They made it! And still look so good.

Any Other Way...

It's been a while since I have posted...sorry about that. 

Some highlights from the past little while.

My brother and his band, ANY OTHER WAY, performed up at the school and did awesome. 

*not my brother

Hubster and Chubbs watching David perform

Then my brother had another solo performance a little while later. That kid is talented!

And of course Chubbs was loving his uncle's performance

Easter

After church (and a needed change of clothes for Chubbs), we got a quick family picture for Easter. 

I have such handsome men in my family.

My little stud mad

Waiting for the egg "hunt'

This was our city Easter Egg hunt and let me tell you. It was the stupidest thing ever! I was SO disappointed. There were a ton of people there and then a ton of eggs. However, it was no hunt. It was a as-soon-as-they-say-go-let-your-kids-go-and-hope-they-are-faster-than-the-kid-next-to-them-so-they-get-something spree. It was lame. No eggs were hidden, they were merely spread out on the grass of a baseball diamond. 

I had to pick up Chubbs, run to an area that hadn't been reached yet, and guard a section of eggs so he could actually get something.

We managed to get three eggs.

At least he had fun playing on the baseball diamond and bleachers.

way past due...

I had every intention of using the month of January to post all about Christmas and obviously that didn't happen. So I'm just going to give you the highlights of our holiday season and then move on...

Chubbs favorite present. His pillow pet from his brother.

Munchkins favorite present...walkie talkies from Santa.

 

Christmas eve in our new pj's.

While my parents were in town we got to go to lunch with almost all his sisters and his mom and her husband.

Four generations

Then we went to look at the lights in Ogden. 

It was a little cold, so Chubbs was all bundled up.

Last time Muchkin gets to see gma and gpa for a while. 

In the elevator at the Joseph Smith building while taking some family pictures.

We did manage to get Christmas cards made this year and printed off. However, only a handful of the people I meant to get them actually them because we bought a house and the other envelope of the pictures got put in a box that I have yet to find. I apologize to my friends and family who didn't get one!
