Too Much Alike

Aunt Kay obviously likes to share her sunglasses. The bottom is Macade at 17 months with her Glasses and the top is Braxton at 11 months with her glasses. They look so alike. I love it!

DISNEYLAND

So we did our family vacation this year and headed down to Disneyland. We saved for a while for this vaca and loved every minute of it. We flew down on Thursday March 11 and stayed till monday March 15. We were able to spend the weekend with the best sister in the world...MINE... and enjoy her and her hubby's company. We spent 3 days in Disneyland/Disney California Adventure and wore ourselves out. I will admit, i pushed my kids and i know they loved it. We stayed between about 9-10:00 everynight. And not one fuss from the kids. Grandma drove down and joined us for our second day in Disneyland. She enjoyed being with her grandkids and i enjoyed being with my mom! Once again, it was wonderful and adventurous. You see Disneyland in a whole new light with little ones and it really brought the magic out. The way Macade would light up when he saw one of the characters was priceless!! Macade and Braxton are Daredevils. They did all the rides that hight requirements would allow them to. Even Pirates, it was SO FUN! Excuse all the pictures...we went picture happy (and these are just the surface)!!! Oh and a side note...excuse my large sunglasses, what can i say, my Califonia roots come out once in a while!

It all starts here....

Great Wolf Lodge

A couple weekends ago we were invited to head down to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA with our dear friends, Celeste and Bryan and their boys and her sister Carissa and her husband Adam and their kids. It was an absolute blast. The hotel has a huge indoor water park for the guests to play in and it is so much fun. Macade and Braxton just loved the kiddy pool and the wave pool. We got there Friday about 4 and headed to the water right after we got there and met up with the Greatest People in the world, Celeste, Bryan, Carissa and Adam!! The kids played for about 2 hours and then we headed up to Celeste and Bryan's room and got some Pizza. After which we got Braxton in bed and headed down stairs with Macade to storytime. it is a little play and story they put on everynight for the kids before they go to sleep. Then they got to meet the Wolf! Macade loved it.
Early on Saturday we were up and headed to the park again for a full day of playing. From 9-5 we played and played. no naps for either of my kids and they did GREAT! I am so proud of them. The "dad's and mom's" Switched off with the kids so that we adults could enjoy the big waterslides at times. They were so much fun. I think that Carissa and Celeste got more of kick out of my facial expressions and screaming while headed backwards than anything, don't you girls think? I would go back just for those, they were great! When we headed home we were not 2 minutes out of the parking lot and both boys crashed. It was a full, busy day and VERY fun! We are definetly going to plan another trip there in the future!

StoryTime

Meeting the Wolf (i forget his name)

Macade loved the lilly pads!

The water park.

And last but not least. Bryan thought it would be great to have Me, Carissa and Celeste race across the lillypads to see who got the fastest time. By timing us, he decided to film us. Well for your amusment, here i am taking my turn. I have no idea who won, but i did cruise pretty fast across for an old gal:-) My facial expressions say it all! (And now Bryan you can't use this as blackmail since i just posted it for all to see...HA HA)

Little Sunbeam

Macade is now in Primary and i am so excited. I have been waiting for the day that he gets to go up on the stand in Sacrament and sing with the Primary. And have been anticipating the moment he gives his first talk/scripture and Prayer. Well i have passed both and don't think it will ever get old. He was able to sing in sacrament 2 weeks ago and was so adorable. This last sunday he gave his First Scripture and prayer. He was so good to remind me to practice it all week although he had it memorized after the 2nd time going over it. So in Primary we go up to the front and he says it all by himself. I did not have to help him at all. I am so proud of my little sunbeam and can not wait for more moments like these:-)

Luke 1:70
For he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which has been since the world began.

1 year pics

For all those faithful followers of my blog (you know your one of them:-) I have to apologize for my lack of blogging. I am trying to keep up but i must admit, i should do better. It was a beautiful day on Saturday so we took the opportunity to head out and get Braxton's 1 year pictures. He was so much fun to take pictures of i really enjoyed it. Here are some of the best!
