Disneyland, Day 1


I have some time at home and I'm going to try to catch up on our blog.  Unfortunately, I going back to October so I'll do my best to remember everything that happened.
Here is Day 1 of Disneyland when we went the end of October.  We had a great time and look forward to going back soon.  Enjoy!



First up was Buzz Lightyear ride.






Next up was a Marvel exhibition.  This was fairly new and so neat.  The kids got to meet Thor and Captain America as well as try out Iron Man's suit.

Next up, getting digitized into Iron Man's suit....pretty cool.





Following along with the game.



Colton's turn to put the suit on.







Meeting Thor was so fun.  We were in a small room with about 10 other people and he took time with everyone to talk and get pictures.  Very cool!








We moved on to Steve Rogers, aka Captain America next.  



Kinley adores the Cap.  She was very shy with him, which came across so cute.



Family shot with Captain America.




Kinley's first time on Space Mountain, my last....way to bumpy for my sensitive stomach.


Dumbo!






We caught the end of the Jedi show.


Time for a nap.


Hanging out in front of the Disneyland hotel waiting for daddy to get the car so we could meet up with Andrew at Dave and Busters.



The princess fell asleep almost immediately once in the car.



So happy that we could see Andy for dinner.  The kids love him so much!




Back to the park after dinner.  We were able to see some fun characters.  Minnie Mouse!




Pluto!

Halloween, 2014

Holidays get better and better each year with these two.  Halloween is definitely right behind Christmas as a favorite for the kiddos.  They beg me to start decorating in the beginning of September and can't wait to wear their costumes, which between going to Disneyland, school parades and Halloween night, they get to wear them often.  Enjoy!

Iron Man all ready for our school parade.


Eric was able to come and see Colton at school for his class party.

Daddy and Colton.


School parade.  It was in the mid 80's this day.  Poor kid was hot but didn't complain once and wore his costume all day long.


Wiped out.  Good thing we had October 31 off of school.  It's Nevada Day and we always get the day off.


Carving pumpkins.


Cinderella and Iron Man ready to hit the streets for some candy!


Two cuties!


Grandma and Grandpa Leatherwood visit

I'm finally trying to catch up on our Blog.  It's been a couple of crazy, busy months and there is a lot to catch up with.
Grandpa and Grandma Leatherwood drove down for a quick weekend visit.  They come each October so that they can enjoy the Halloween fun with us.  We always hit up our Pumpkin Patch and do fun Halloween crafts when they come.  They also had some pool time, which, if you've ever been to Las Vegas in October, you know it's one of the best months of the year in the city.  The weather is still nice enough to go swimming but not deathly hot like it is in the summer.  Enjoy!


One of the first stops after getting here was the good ole Pumpkin Patch.  The kids had fun feeding the couple of animals they had.


Grandpa Dan loves to get involved with whatever the kids are doing and want to do.


Both kids went down this slide several, several times.


Kinley was so silly during this photo.  I had a hard time getting her to give me a "normal" smile :).


I got a nice picture!


Miss Silly again!


I little pool time is always enjoyed by these two.


Painting pumpkins with Grandma's help.



I love the Ghostbusters picture...too cute.

The last few years we have been lucky to have my dad with us on his birthday.  After taking him out to dinner, we came home for some yummy cupcakes.


Singing Happy Birthday!


Kinley had to get in her Halloween costume to show Grandma and Grandpa.  I just love how her demeanor changed once she put her dress on.  She acted just  like a real princess.
