Something New...

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of looking at the same old post, and with Christmas just around the corner (YIPEE!) I kept putting it off for the big one, but I've had enough. Life is moving along here, nothing new to report. Drew is enjoying being out of school, I'm enjoying feeling better and eating food other than Ritz crackers, and Jack well, is excited to have "Ho Ho" come bring presents. We all are enjoying this amazing time of year, and cannot wait for the big day! Here is this years meet Santa attempt, Jack was so interested/ excited to see Santa (ho ho) until we were next to him, hence why I'm apart of the picture.

We have also been enjoying our play dates with friends. This last week we had Tyler and Olivia (plus their mom's) over to our house. The kids sure love each other!

Watching Toy Story together, he sure loves "Nani"!

Hope this is efficient enough until Christmas! I seriously CAN'T WAIT!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanksgiving '09

Thanksgiving was filled with a ton of fun this year. We really have so much to be thankful for. The big dinner was held at my aunt's house with 50+ of my family (and that's missing quite a few). It was delicious and fun!

Cute Couple, huh?

Jack enjoying turkey!

My sister Brooke and her dork of a husband/ can't take serious pictures, Justin! :)

Mom & Dad

My brother Nate & Steph w/ Leah

My sister Becky and me. The sad part about this year is Natalie was gone :(.

The day after Thanksgiving and for the rest of the weekend we had house guests! Drew's brother and his family plus his mom came and visited with us. Jack had so much fun with Layleigh, that is just 3 months older. However, he was a little afraid of Faylene that is 2 1/2 months!

"Ni-Ni"(as Jack would say) and Jack enjoying grapes.

So tired at lunch, can't even stay awake to eat!

Bath time?

At the park w/ Uncle Garrett too!

We also went out and got our tree! Plus Drew did a few black friday stops and got a train to go around it! I Love iT!

We are so blessed!

Surprise!!!

Okay I know this is probably not that much of a surprise, and most people know now but...

I'M PREGNANT! We are so excited! I am about 12 weeks and due around June 9th. We had a ultrasound yesterday, but cannot get the pictures to scan in, so pictures of our little one will have to wait until we get the big ultrasound with CD at 20 weeks!

We could not be more happy!!! YAY!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Love at First BITE!

Just like last year around this time, I had a night out of being 16 again, with all my girls friends screaming at a theater screen! Yep, that's right at midnight I saw NEW MOON! Once again, it was such a blast. This year my friend Tesera decided in September, we needed to start planning, so we bought tickets. Then, last night she threw an AMAZING party! Seriously she out did herself. The decor was black and white balloons and streamers, with Twilight/ New Moon posters all over the place. Tons of YUMMY YUMMY food!

She was so cute, she named all the food to go along with different things about the books. Such as below: Muddy Buddies were Werewolf Chow (even served in a dog dish). We also drank bloodsucker punch, and had vampire kisses, plus so much more!

Here is my best buds! (and they both have kids Jack loves). Kara (left) and Jeni (right).

And, the whole group, some I just met last night, but we immediately all were friends!

It was a good show, a fun night will all my girls! I wish Jack would have had a fluke day and slept into like 10, but we are relaxing in our pjs and will slowly recover from the late night! I already am ready to watch the next!

the HAPPIEST place on EARTH!!

As you can see we just got to visit Disneyland! Andrew had a work conference in the Disneyland Hotel, since he was going down Jack and I thought we would join and do the whole Disneyland thing! It was seriously so fun, and there are so many pictures to choose from so watch out! The moment Jack was out the car he was thrilled so he was jumping all over the hotel.

Day 1: The day started so perfectly, and we got ready to go, we kept telling Jack we are going to Disneyland. He finally said, "Dineylan NoW!" And off we were on our adventure. Starting in Disneyland ... us on the monorail, and a bunch of rides.







The last rides pictures is the Buzz ride. Jack LOVED it. After that we found a small Buzz toy which you will see pictured in nearly all the pictures. We met Pluto and Goofy! He was really nervous at first but through out the whole trip he warmed up and loved the characters. Here is Jack in Toon Town.




Keep scrolling for more pictures of our awesome trip!

Disneyland Continued...

With so many pictures, I decided to break it into 2 posts. Here is the last half of the first day through the end of our trip.

After Jack's nap we headed to California Adventure. We rode the ferris wheel, saw some 3D Bugs, and watched a Pixar Parade. (Jack's heart nearly jumped out of his chest he was so excited!)


Day 2: Since we were there for Drew's conference Jack and I were on our own for most of the daytime, however any minute he had free, Drew was running back to the park to be with us. We got to meet Mickey (again but these were better pictures), ride some rides, and just have some hang out time in Toon Town!


Day 3: We relaxed all morning, since the park opened a bit later and Drew as done by noon, Jack and I just waited then took off. We started in C.A. where we met WOODY! Holy cow does Jack love Toy Story! He still hasn't dropped his Woody and Buzz toys we got! It was such an amazing trip. It really is such a magical place, it ended just like it started, as we drove away we told Jack to say goodbye to Disneyland. He responded by saying, "NO!" Can't wait to go back!
