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!

the happiest place on earth...

This is one of my very favorite picture of my boys. 

Ever. 

More to come this week on our trip to Disneyland!!

Happy Birthday Munchkin Man!

And they grow up....

This handsome kid turned seven in March...seven! When I married Jesse he was only two and half. It is crazy to think how fast time has flown. Every year I make something for the birthday boy to wear with the number of his birthday. He loves this and had been thinking about what he wanted well in advance of his birthday. His request this year was obviously a shirt. (Freezer paper stencil and shirt from Target)

FLASHBACK: Years three (iron ons that I made on our computer, shirt from Walmart), four (crown made from felt), five (freezer paper stencil of Porter's silhouette holding up five fingers) and six (a hat custom made from Lids). 

Dinner request: Pizza...so we went to the Pizza Factory. 

 Cake request: Ninja turtles. Yes, I made one in each color. 

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. 

T-Ball

Our little Munchkin man played tball this spring. He wasn't too sure about wanting to play and for the first few games didn't want to go. 

However, he said he wanted to play when he was asked, so he got to learn the lesson of sticking to your word and following through. 

Once he was at the games and got up to hit or played pitcher or first base, he had a blast. 

 

 

It was all those in between times that weren't too exciting for him.

At least him and his brother had a good time together. 

Orange Dinosaurs

I coached Munchkin's soccer team again in the spring and we had a blast. I seriously had such a great group of kids. They learned so much and were a ton of fun.

At the end of the season, I got a few gifts from my team and they were so great!! I got a soccer ball signed by all my boys, a few gift cards and some candy. Thanks!!

Little Farm

A few weeks ago there was a little "farm days" event in our city. 

The boys were so excited to go!

This is how Chubbs sits all the time when he is watching something. Too funny.

Munchkin man was in heaven and petting all the animals. He could have stayed there all day long!

Chubbs wasn't too sure about the whole petting the animals thing.

Munchkin told me the bunnys were his favorite because they were so soft.

And of course Chubbs would climb the fences each chance he got.

Ready for the train ride!

Someone was done.

 

We had a fun time. We love being able to be outside and letting the kids try new things. 

Tball Time!

Gotta have the tongue out!
