M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Well, as promised, here are some photos from our recent trip to Disneyland! Avery was much more relaxed with the characters this time. We had so much fun with the Alyea family, our friends from church. Poor Avery was not feeling well most of our trip but we still had a great time even with the rain on the las day! They even went on the Matterhorn for the first time!!! Enjoy!

I Love Paris in the Springtime!

Mark and I made it to Paris last week! We were able to sit first class on the way there...We actually had a menu to choose from for food and wine! We had no hotel when we arrived so we spent the first little bit walking around checking availability and rates. We finally found one for 1 night and then searched in another area for the next 2 nights. We went to Notre Dame and spent most of our time sitting at sidewalk cafes drinking coffee and eating baguettes with cheee and ham. We also took a sight seeing cruise along the river down to the Eiffel Tower. It was a very laid back trip! We missed the kids terribly so we came home a day early to get ready for Disneyland, which a post will be coming on soon! Here are some pictures of our time there...

another baby....Due, Dec 25th!

Last week I watched my girlfriend's sons, Cohen and Gavin, so Leslie could go on a field trip with her daughter. Avery and Andon were so cute with Cohen, the baby. So I decided to ask them if they would like Mommy and Daddy to have another baby. Of course they said, "Yes!" with great excitement. Well, this was the conversation that I overheard over breakfast this morning...

Avery:"Would you like it if mommy and daddy had another baby?"

Andon:"Uh-huh."

Avery: "Well, you'll have to wait until Christmas and see if Santa will bring you one. Like dolls or shopping carts or kitchen or a car. Yep, we'll have to see."

If it were only that easy!!! Sometimes they really CAN be sweet :-)

The Little Gym

We had a playdate at the Little Gym this week and the kids had a lot of fun! I included the picture of one of their friends, Renee, who will soon be the next member of our MOPS group...hehehe!

Stick 'Em Up!

Just some cute bathtime photos :-)

Angels in Heaven??? I don't think so!!!

So this is what I woke up to this morning! They look so sweet and innocent, like angels on a cloud in Heaven, right??? I don't think so! After the third time of this same event (the first two times were during the day) I decided to grab a picture of them. While I was not very happy, it did take us about 30 minutes to clean up this time because the couch cushion was completely empty! Gotta love 'em though!

Monkeys, drummers and dorks....oh, my!

So we have had quite the fun times lately!

Here we have my two little monkeys at the zoo...
Avery, our "Little Drummer Girl" (I guess music does indeed run in the family)...
our messy, goofball Avery drinking her smoothie...
and Andon, our goofball who wakes up from his nap because his hand gets stuck between the buttons on his shirt!!!
