Disneyland!

We had the best time at Disneyland. The boys had a blast and lasted 12 hours both days, but at the end of the day we piled all 3 kids in a stroller made for 2 and pushed a good 100lbs of tired kid back to our hotel, where they promptly fell asleep and slept peacefully through the fireworks that sounded like a war going off right outside our window! Ladybug even sat in her carseat for 3 days straight and had a blast doing it. Squirt was exactly 40 inches tall, which meant he was able to ride most of the rides, depending on who was checking. He rode Space Mountain in the morning of the first day, then we went back later and they wouldn't let him. So we went back the second day and when they let him past the first check point he quietly said "Yes! they let me go!" And that day they never even checked his height. Their inconsistency was very annoying. Little Man had a blast on the California Screamin' Ride which was this crazy fast roller coaster. I'm shocked at the little thrill seekers that my boys are! Here are some pics:

Meeting Mickey! Look at the baby, she's looking at him like " What the ??!!"

Jail in toon town!

The Jungle Cruise

Tigger!

Space Mountain!

Out in front of the main train depot

Pluto and Goofy

Jessie & Woody. Jessie insisted on being such a spaz that Squirt wouldn't go near her!

Happy Baby!

Sleeping Beauty's castle. (Ladybug was asleep)

We also went to the beach, which was about 67 degrees and cloudy. We still had fun and managed to get a sun burn.

We found a star fish. Look at Hubbie's face. Doesn't it say "COLD WATER!"

Proof that I dove in, freezing and all

The boys both let me take their picture and then both fell in the water and got their only long sleeve shirts wet. They were freezing and begging to go home for the first hour we were there.

Their moods improved towards the end though and we ended up having a blast! Now we are back to the 110 degrees and they are wondering when we are going back already! Good times:)

Lots of updates

Laughing

I finally caught it on video!

4 months!

Now that we are 4 months old the doctor said we can start food! As if we aren't fat enough already!! We started with Rice Cereal. I'm not sure if she's a fan or not.



She had a check up yesterday and was 14lbs and 23 1/2 inches long. She's growing so fast!

Mothers Day

The boys gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure for mothers day. Don't my toes look pretty? How about the tan line on my feet? Love it!


Ladybug was just green with envy, so we painted her toes too! I recommend doing that when they are sleeping! Just an FYI for next time:) Look at her feet. She has rolls on her toes!

We finished the Soccer Season a few weeks ago. Little Man ended the season with 3 goals (the most on the team!) We finished off with a party at the park and some yummy cupcakes with the greenest frosting I've ever seen!

Here is a video of Little Man's last goal. Sorry it's a little shaky but it's short.


He can't wait until next year. He'll bump up to the 7-8 year old team and Squirt will be able to play on the 5-6 year old team. I'll be an official Soccer Mom!

3 months old!

Ok, so a month ago Ladybug was 3 months old. Here is proof that she is growing. Her newborn jammies are about 2 inches too short (in the tummy and the legs) and the shirt is about to pop it's buttons. (The picture just doesn't do it justice)

The woes of rhyming!

It has been awhile! So sorry. I'll update soon, I might even include pictures. We'll see! Right now I wanted to tell you about a conversation me and Squirt had. He's been really into Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which is really a pretty cute movie. Except one of the main characters names is Buck. See the problem here is that Squirt likes to RHYME things. Everything actually. He came running to me so excited:

S: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy... Buck rhymes with Duck."
M: "It sure does, [I could see where this was headed quick] What does box rhyme with?"
S: "No Mom, I'm rhyming Buck... It rhymes with Suck too"
M: "Ya, good job, what does cookie rhyme with? "
S: "Mom, Buck rhymes with Luck too and Cuck and Muck and F*%!"
M: "Don't say that one though, that's a bad word"
S: "What's a bad word? F*%!? No mom, it rhymes with Buck... Buck F*%! Buck F*%!"
M: "Please stop saying it, it's a bad word and I don't like it"
S: "Hey bubba, [shouting into the other room] did you know F*%! rhymes with Buck, but it's a bad word?"

This conversation went on a while and I eventually had to threaten bodily harm to get him to stop! I'm thinking either the producers of Ice Age don't have kids and wouldn't have seen this coming or they thought, oh this'll be fun, let's see how many moms we can piss off. What do you think?

A good question...

Little Man asked me the other day:

"Mom, I know Heavenly Father made the trees and the grass and the bushes. How come everything else is made in China?"

That one made me giggle, but then left me a little stumped. Good question!

Photo Shoot

Grandma needed a photo for her piano, so we headed outside for a photo shoot!
Isn't she pretty??
