DiSnEyLaNd!!

A few weeks ago we went on a road trip with the Jones family to the Happiest Place on Earth! We love going to Disneyland, and it's usually our destination of choice when in comes to vacations. We left on a Saturday and drove to Las Vegas to spend the night. Then drove to California for five fun-filled days at Disney! We had so much fun, and were even a little "disney-ed out" after the last day. Before we made the long trek home we did a little shopping in California, then were lucky enough to spend some time with my brother and his cute family. We had such a good trip, even the car ride wasn't too bad (we sent Mason with Grandma and Grandpa on the airplane! hehe). We had a blast swimming, eating lots of delicious Disneyland treats, hitting all the rides, and spending time with family! We even got to go to an Angels game Friday night, which was really fun.
This is Mason pointing at the bird on Pirates of the Caribbean. He was OBSESSED with all the birds in Disneyland...and is now one of the only words he says....and says OFTEN! Jake and his "Hunt" cousin Logan....despite the face, these two had a blast together. We're glad we got to spend some time with them!

Us waiting in line for the BELOVED Toy Story ride. Mason's second word = WOODY! He picked himself out a cute little Woody for his birthday...which he had while we were there! (more on that later...)

Jake was all about the characters this time....except Woody, he had a really big real-looking head and Jake decided (after we waited in line for 30 minutes to see him) that he was a little scary!! Shane's Dad with all the cute grandkids (all boys!). Mason wasn't sure what to think of the crazy thing standing next to Grandpa....

This was on the Hollywood Tower of Terror...Shane's parents and I aren't sure Shane was on the same ride. Mason cheering for.....whatever everybody else was cheering for! He was all about the cheering!

We had so much fun and are a little sad our summer vacation is over....Jake and I are seriously thinking of RELOCATING!!

New Pictures

I had the boys' picture done for Jake's 4th and Mason's 1st birthdays. I thought they turned out really cute. Here are a few (ok...a lot) of my favorites!

Catching up!

So, my blog has been badly neglected for the last little....ok, long while and I think it's time to finally catch up!! The kids are growing up so fast, I can't believe it! Today is Jake's Fourth birthday! Shane and I don't believe that we've had this little guy for four years! We love him like crazy! He's our sweet and sensitive little guy, that always keeps us laughing! He never stops talking, and he catches on to things (like naughty words....thanks Shane!) so fast. He just finished swimming lessons and is on to T-ball. Everything we hear about right now is SUPERHEROES! So of course for his birthday I had to make him a superhero cape (of course with my mom's help). And we couldn't leave Mason out! Isn't this the cutest little superhero you've ever seen? Mason is so fun right now. He is always happy and is such a little cutie! He's crawling like crazy and just started pulling up on the furniture. He has no fear so I'm sure we're in for it!! He's hard to resist with his big beautiful blue eyes! He has to go in for surgery on his head soon, so Shane and I are refusing to cut his cute hair. I know it's long, and I get asked if he's a girl all the time, but I love it, and it's starting to curl in the back, so there's no way I'm cutting that off!! We love these boys so much and our lives would not be complete without them!
