Disneyland!


 Disneyland 2012!  We spent our Nevada Day Holiday visiting the funnest place on earth, Disneyland.  Our friends, the Silva's, drove up from San Diego to go with us as well.  We had a great time and made some wonderful memories with our friends and kiddos.  Enjoy!

 
We had breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen.  Colton loved seeing all of the different characters....Kinley not so much.
 



Chip dropped by and visited.  Colton loved seeing him...


 
Kinley headed for mommy and held on tightly!
 

 Colton had such a great time saying "Hi" to all of the different characters.


 Mickey!!  Colton couldn't wait to see Mickey Mouse and then became shy when he finally saw him.


 Sitting next to mommy on the race car ride.


Flying Dumbo with daddy.


 Riding a horse on the carousel.


 CARS LAND!  What a cool place.  They made it look exactly like the one in Cars with a real Lightning McQueen and Mater.
 

 Hanging out with Red.


 Colton and Daddy at the Bugs Life bumper cars.  Next time we go Kinley will be big enough to go on this ride. 


 We spent a day in San Diego with the Silva's.  Here Kinley was chasing the birds around at a park.


 Ryan showing Colton and Andrew how to throw rocks into the ocean.


 Colton showing Kinley the ropes on the dolphin.


 We had plans to hit up Legoland on our last day.  Unfortunately, while were at dinner the night before, some punks decided to break our window.  We think that they thought there was a purse in the backseat when all it was was the kids drink bag.  Thankfully the restaurant had security riding around the parking lot and scared them off.  They were also nice enough to vacuum up all of the glass and put some cardboard up on the window.  Unfortunately, because we couldn't secure the car, we didn't dare leave it all day at a park.  We will go to Legoland next time we're in San Diego.

October Randoms


Below are some random pictures from October.  Enjoy!

Checking out the Halloween decorations.


 It hailed so hard one night that it woke everyone up.  This is what it looked like...crazy!


By morning, most of the hail had melted.  Colton was fascinated by what was left.

Visit from Gant Granparents


Colton and Kinley had a wonderful visit with Grandma and Grandpa Gant one weekend. Mommy and Daddy were able to leave the kiddos with them and go see Wicked!  I was so excited to see the musical, having read the book several years ago, and only hearing wonderful things about the music and the play it self.    I completely loved it and even Eric stated that it wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be :).  Before Grandma and Grandpa left, we all went to the Pumpkin Patch.  I had the darnest time getting a picture of the kids together so there are a lot of cute individual pictures instead.  Enjoy!



Miss Kinley showing off her cute Hello Kitty Halloween shirt.



Colton smiling big for the camera!



We went into the petty zoo and Colton had a blast running after the animals....Kinley not so much :).


Colton enjoyed the ducks and bunny rabbits.

Taking a closer look!


Kinley freaking out when the goats wanted to smell her.

Only picture I got of them together before Kinley decided she was done sitting down and ran off.


Happy to be out of the stroller!  Freedom!


These two were literally running in the opposite directions.


Pure joy on this little girls face.

Kinley was not happy to see Grandma and Grandpa go.

 Still trying to catch up with some pictures.  Here are some of the kids playing at a park and Colton with Lillian at Springs Preserve.  Enjoy!

My friend Autumn and I took Colton and Lillian to Springs Preserve.  They had a blast playing together and here sitting on a train.


We stopped to get some shaved ice cream and both kiddos were fascinated by the show going on.  Dragons!


 This is what captured their attention.  We had a great time!


 This time, both kids dug into the beaters.  Yummy!


Colton literally fell asleep in his chair after lunch.
 

One of Colton's favorite pastimes.  Playing with his letters.
