The Fish Tank

...the Happiest Place on Earth??? Our good friends, the Shubins, blessed us with a day at Disneyland. We had an amazing time!!! Michelle met us there right away and Andrew came after work. Jack LOVED Andrew as all small children do:) My friend, Jen, and her kiddos met us for a bit too. Jack went on all the "big" rides loving every minute of it. Michelle helped us strapping on Wyatt while I strapped on Grady so we could ride Pirates, The Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise. Michelle and I took turns with the big boys so we could enjoy the big rides too. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as Michelle and I did on Space Mountain. SO much fun! We ended the night with fireworks and Grady and Jack getting into a light saber war with their light up light sabers. Jack and Wyatt crashed out in the stroller on the way back to the car while Grady chatted up a storm on Scott's shoulders. I love going to Disneyland and love it even more when I can experience it through

Wow! I will, we will, forever travel by car...hopefully RV someday. I LOVED our road trip to California! Some of our best times were in the car! From the funny things that were said to the precious conversations we had! We took the 40 to California stopping in Albuquerque and Flagstaff and the 10 home. I enjoyed interstate 40; so gorgeous! The boys did fantastic! I couldn't believe it! Grady was a little whiny being that he had recently learned to walk and the last thing he wanted was to be strapped down all day. We dubbed him our "rock star" because he would run around the hotel rooms screaming and terrorizing the place because he was so happy to be free! Jack played with toys, colored, read, played his Leapster, and watched movies the entire time. Wyatt slept. Which for him, that was amazing at the time since he was just getting over being colic. I will always remember our first road trip as a family! This really brought home the reality of making memories as a family a

There are no words to describe the beauty of the Grand Canyon. It seriously took my breath away. You walk through this forest and then all of a sudden there it is. I could have sat there and stared for hours. We will definitely be back when the boys are older.

Nothing is better than family. We had an incredible time visiting with my mom, dad, aunt, uncle, sis and her family, cousin and her family, and last but not least, my grandpa. Wyatt HAD to meet his Grandpa Buz. The moment my grandfather held my son in his arms will be forever etched in my heart.

There truly are no words to describe how much these girls mean to me. I have know them for about 16 years. They have seen me through it all. I love that when we get together it is like we have never been apart. Thank you all for your unconditional love and support always; for being such beautifully amazing women, wives, mothers, and friends! I am blessed beyond imagine! Jack putting the moves on Kylie Wer met the Rush and Manzo families at the park and had dinner together. What an awesome time we had!!! We had so much fun watching the little guys play together with big old Jack leading the reigns. Wyatt hung out in the shade. Being with these families made us remember that we love where we live but miss our friends SO much!!! Thanks for a fabulous afternoon/evening! Grady meet Brysen. Brysen, Grady.
