Noah's Favorite Part of our Disneyland Trip.....

Okay...watching Noah "train" to be a Jedi Night was one of the 4 times this pregnant lady cried at Disneyland! I am such a baby...but I just couldn't help it when I saw how much fun my kids were having. I was so happy to be their mom! I know...complete cheese!!! Anyway, here are some cute pictures of the best thing that has happened in this 4 year olds life!!

I Wish We Were Still There!!!

So, I have been back to work for 3 days after a weeks vacation...and it is confirmed that I wish I was still in California!!! We had such a great time. We took the boys to Disneyland and hung out in Newport for a whole week...what more can you ask for! The boys did such a great job traveling...I was so glad because you always worry when making that long of a drive!! Just beware...there are a million pictures!!!

Noah's favorite rides were Soaring Over California and It's a Small World(which we were able to enjoy at least 5 times!!) The highlight of Noah's trip....being trained as a Jedi Night!! My goodness..if we did nothing else the whole vacation, he would not have cared!!! It was so cute to watch him up on the stage with the "Jedi Master" and learning how to use the light saber!! He then got to fight none other than Darth Vader! This is HUGE since Noah is his biggest fan at the moment!! I thought he was going to tell them he would Join the Dark Side!! But he didn't...luckily!! Cameron just took everything in and loved smiling and waving at everyone around!! I thought the boy was going to get snatched up a couple of times because people couldn't get over how cute and happy he is!!

We were able to eat at Crab Cooker!! AHHHHH...years of waiting and craving and yes everyone it was delicious!! Noah even tried some crab...I was very proud of him since he doesn't really try anything!! Cameron on the other hand is a tank and will eat anything you give him and did!!

Ben's Parents stayed at a hotel in Newport so we spent a day there at the beach. It was great. Cameron wasn't sure about the water at first and then decided that he loved it! Noah had a great time building sandcastles with dad and collecting sea shells.

I love family vacations! Thank you Darrell and Kathy for coming and spending some time with us! And thanks Ben for my birthday/Mother's Day/Anniversary present! What could be better??

But I Really Wanna....

So Saturday night, it was cold and sprinkling on and off. Noah was outside while Ben was talking to someone about some pizza equipment we have in our garage. All of the sudden I see Noah bolting toward the back door in his swimming suit. I asked him what he was doing and why he was in his swimming suit when it was so cold outside? He tells me that he really wants to play in the sprinklers! Oh..not a chance! I tell him to go put his cloths back on and we can play in the water when it gets warmer. He starts off to his bedroom really upset...then I hear him running full speed to the backdoor(only because he can't get out the front door!) So I tell him, don't even think about opening that door unless you want to stay in your room the rest of the night! "mom, it is not even cold outside and I wanna run through the sprinklers, I won't get sick!" Smart boy! I finally convinced him that he didn't really have a choice and he got his cloths back on...but...he was determined to "show mom" who really was boss and had to wear flip flops. The boy is a stink and a crack up at the same time!

I Love This Picture!

Okay, I haven't yet posted about Easter...it is sure to come!! I just had to post this cute picture of my brother and Cameron...isn't it so cute!! My kids love their aunts and uncles so much..I Love it!!!

We love to play with our cousins!!

Jenn had Noah over on the one truly nice day of this week! When I got to her house to pick him up my father in law stopped at my car and said.."I hope you let him come back!" I went to the back yard to find Noah and Hanah wrapped in coats covered in mud! Jenn and Trev are working on their yard and made the kids a mud puddle to play in! They had the best time. I really am just waiting for the day that Noah tells me he wants to live with them because he has the best time at their house every time he goes over!! Thanks you guys for letting him come and "swim" in the mud! Just be prepared Jenn....he is going to ask to do that every time he comes over now!!

All Grown Up

I came home from work today and Ben had given Cameron a haircut! He looks so cute..but so grown up! He is such a fun little stink! Here are his before and after pics...

And then of course I had to add a picture of both my cute boys..especially now that they have the same hair cut! Dad...the master of sheers also has the same do but was not available for pictures at this time!

Finally!!!

I never in my lifetime thought I would be so excited about getting a vacuum!!! I AM! It has been way to long since I have had a decent vacuum that getting one today was like winning the lottery!! I really can't wait to clean my floors tomorrow(can't vacuum with my kids asleep!) Good night.
