Halloween

For Halloween every year I make my kids' costumes but I was 38 weeks pregnant at that point this last year and not really in the mood to make a whole lot.  So Brynlee got a store bought costume (which she loved) and bridgers was very simple.  Jaxon's is the only one that I actually sewed this year.

 

 

Every year I like to take my kids to Gardener Village to see the witches.  I met my mom and Weston there and let the kids run wild!

Here they are carving pumpkins.  Don't you love Josh's face??  He's going to kill me when he finds out I put that pick of him on here:)

This year Brynlee wanted to be a witch.  Josh convinced her to be a nice witch with a green face.

Jaxon decided he wanted to be the black angry bird.  This is what I was able to come up with.

 

And here is my little Bum.  He was the cutest little homeless boy I've ever seen.

Disneyland!

We took the kids to Disneyland in April.  Josh's sister Jordan came with us and we all had a blast!  The first day we went to the beach and it was cold and windy but that didn't stop us from having a good time!  The next 3 days were spent at Disneyland and California Adventure.  I found out I was pregnant about 6 weeks before we were going so I was only able to go on the rides Brynlee could go on but I still had a great time!  Here are a few pics of our vacation!

 

 

Brynlee, Jordan, Josh, and Jaxon playing in the sand!

 First day at Disneyland!  The kids couldn't believe we were really there.

 This was my FAVORITE part of the whole trip!  I took Brynlee to breakfast with the princesses and she was so excited!  I don't have anymore pics on this memory card cause I had to change it right after we got there but she had so much fun!!!

We were able to see all the princesses while we were at Disneyland.  Here we are catching a pic with Belle as she was being pulled away to go back to her castle!

 Sorry I can't get this one to turn but here are the kids at California Adventure with Woody! 

 The kids thought the bumper cars were so much fun!

 I didn't want anything to happen to the baby so I stuck to only the rides that didn't jolt me around a lot.  This was one of them!

 This was about 3 min. after getting ready for bed.  They were exhausted!  And this wasn't even the last night!!! 

 

 

 

It was a great vacation and Jaxon and Brynlee don't ever stop talking about it.  I can't wait to go again so time!  Next time I think I'll make sure I'm not pregnant though:)  Thanks to my mom and mother-in-law for watching Bridger.

A Lot Of Catch-Up

Ok so I know it's been over a year but I'm back (for now).  We've had a lot happen in the last year and getting a new computer was one of them.  Hopefully that will give me some motivation to keep this blog a little bit more updated.  My old comp. was so slow it would take hours just to upload photo's so it wasn't worth it.  Anyhow, here are a few things we did last summer. 

 

 We went to Lava Hot Springs with Josh's family and had a blast!  We stayed in Pocatello, ID and took the kids rock climbing.  They thought it was the greatest thing EVER!  It was nice to see Josh's Brother and his family since they moved to Ohio and we only get to see them once a year.

 Brynlee started her last year of preschool in August.  I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten next year.  Didn't she just turn 1???!!!  Man it's crazy how fast time flies!

 Jaxon started 1st grade in August!  He loves school and loves his teacher.  He is doing fabulous and is reading really well.  He has NEVER not wanted to go to school in the morning.  He loves it that much!  Here he is on the first day of school with his best friend Mattias.

 We did a lot of swimming at Seven Peaks with our Pass of all passes, played outside riding bikes/scooters, and here are the kids at the Bee's game.  They thought it was the greatest thing.  (Even though Bridger was terrified of the Bee mascot!)

More blog posts to come soon!
