Disneyland!

We surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland the first week of March. They thought we were just going to visit Grandma and Grandpa in St. George. When we told them we thought they would be jumping for joy, but all we got were a couple of blank stares, then Mitchell said, "Are you serious?" He, he he! It was so much fun! It was their first trip, and mine too. Can't wait to go back!

In front of Grizzly Falls.

Good ol' Mater! Parker kept jumping on the hood of Lightning McQueen. They kept telling us to keep him off there!

Who knew that Woody was so tall! The Toy Story ride was one of our favorites and always had a long line, even when the other rides had hardly any people in line.

The theme was Celebrate Today. I don't know what they were celebrating exactly, but it made for a cute pic!

The Mickey Wheel was NOT a fun ride. Much better as a photo prop. Once was enough for me!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We were able to go tubing in the fresh powder. The kids had a blast as you can see, frozen faces and all!

Same pic again, don't know why...sorry!

Parker didn't want to get off the tube! We had to pry him off when it was time to go:)

A Pirate's Birthday

For Cole's 7th Birthday we went to Pirate Island Pizza.  The minute we walked through the doors the little pirates ran amuck!   You might think they were actually true pirates instead of rowdy, excited kids.  Just check out this authentic pose below:)



Captain Cole or is it Blackbeard's Ghost...

Pair of shady looking Pirates

Now these look like REAL kids, not too scary.  Hee hee!! or should I say "Argh!"

Who Made the Moon?

This past week we were in St. George.  One starry night we were looking at the moon.  I said "Parker who made the moon?"  He replied "Jesus and ... Santa!"  Later that same night we were asking his little cousin Chase to sing some of his nursery songs.  Chase is such a sweetie and he sang the Sunbeam song, Wise Man and the Foolish Man.  So Parker says its his turn to sing his song and starts to sing... "I am Iron man, na na na na I am Iron man!"     Not what I was expecting...:)

Pictures in the Dark!

 We were coming home the other night and the kids got a hold of my camera.  I didn't think that they would show anything because it was so dark in the car.  They quickly decided this would be a fun little experiment and an opportunity for crazy faces in the blinding flash!



Parker wouldn't open his eyes at all!


I was seeing spots after this shot!  

Cole has a pirate look in the bottom pic and of course Parker is still closing his eyes!

Fiesta Days Rodeo!

Parker in his new Wranglers and boots!

Cole the cowboy.  He insisted on looking the part- pants, boots, hat and LONG, sleeved shirt (NOT short sleeved).  I think he looks so handsome!
