Disneyland!!

We love going to Disneyland. When Carol came to visit we said we were going to drag her there and assured her that it would be a different experience with her grandchildren than with teenage show choir kids. Sadly, one of the differences was she twisted her ankle boogie boarding (I forgot to mention that earlier!) the day before, but toughed it out. Despite the crowds and ankle injury, it was still fun.







We were lucky to also have one last evening at Disneyland with dear friends before they moved.



















I had to include these cute pics of Elise and Jason sleeping. Of course our "night owl" Tyler, as he likes to be known, was WIDE AWAKE! :)

Tyler's 6th Birthday

We celebrated Tyler's 6th Birthday on September 29th of this year. I can't believe he is already six. No longer is he my little five-year-old. Now he's my big six-year-old. Boo hoo! When I told him that I didn't want him to grow up any more he told me that "he would try." What a sweet kid.







For his birthday he just wanted to invite a couple of kids to go to a place called Kid Concepts. It's an indoor play gym that has a HUGE play structure, a play kitchen, salt-water aquariums, dress-up clothes, and all sorts of other fun things. It's SO fun! That night they had a caricature artist that drew a great picture of Tyler as a Jedi Knight. Yes, as you can see by the pictures, Tyler is just slightly obsessed with Star Wars right now. His little brother Jason is following right in Tyler's footsteps and is pretty good with a lightsaber himself!

OUT OF ORDER!

Sorry these posts are all out of order. I'm just figuring this stuff out. :)

We wondered what had happened to Carol's glasses...until we looked at all of the pics from the beach! There's one where they are sitting firmly on her nose while she stood happily in the freezing cold water. I had to blow up that particular picture really big to see them though...so I didn't add it to the blog. Mystery solved...boo hoo.

Boogying Beach Babes!

Wayne's mom Carol came out for a visit this past week and the weather was so hot, I had to take her to the beach. While there, of course we had to try out boogie boarding! The sad thing was that we didn't even notice that she still had her glasses on her face when she got into the water. You guessed it, bye, bye glasses! She reassured me that she had made a goal to get new glasses before she went to her daughter Allison's house in November. I felt so bad!

It was also so much fun to spend one last day at the beach with our dear friends before they moved to Utah. WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!! You know you have a place to stay when you're needing to escape the freezing weather!

Paryting with the Girls

Last night a bunch of my GREAT friends and I went out to dinner to celebrate my and Rachel's birthday. We had fun talking, laughing, and of course, stuffing our faces. It was so fun! And despite the fact that we were all so tired, we couldn't end the evening too early. Wayne STILL doesn't know that I came home at 1:30 am!
