Beginning of our California Trip

The last week of May we went to California and saw our Cousins, Noah and Luke! We went to the Noah's ark exibit. There were tons of cool interactive things for us to keep busy all day long! Happy times!

Tracy and Mark and boys (Tracy is Dana's sister) took us to the beach for a little Sunday stroll. It was way cold, but for our boys seeing the ocean for the first time, who can resist those waves! We made a great memory!

On May 26th we spent our first day in Disneyland! Whooo Wee! It was so much fun! Here is a snap of us on the famous teacups. Since it was Memorial Day we got to see the best fireworks show ever! We all loved it!!!!!

Our second day we met up with Tracy, Mark , Luke, and Noah in California Adventure park. They had free tickets so we enjoyed another day with them! We got to see playhouse disney live on stage, which was cool. I think the highlight was the pixar parade and the swinging farris wheel, which we laughed and laughed and laughed at each others facial expressions! While Dana and Tracy went on the rollercoster the kids did the merry go round, several times!


Joseph and Noah

Ammon, you monkey!

Mason, Vilate, and James!

At the Pixar Parade James saw Lightning McQueen! His face was priceless! He was so excited!

At least our kids didn't get worn out! I promise this was not staged!

And here are the boys on the third and final day in Disneyland...being silly of course, check our Mason shooting his webs. Or was it our final day? You will have to wait for the next post to see what exciting thing happened!

Wrestling wake up call!

The boys just finished wrestling this year, and really enjoyed it. So far it has just been fun for them to go and learn some cool moves and wrestle with other kids. Joseph, however was invited to a wrestling meet, because he was seven, and he decided to go. Needless to say it was a learning experience, and he did great! They accidently put him in the wrong weight class, and he was wrestling kids 10 lbs heaver and 2 to 3 years older. So when he won the first match, by points, he was excited! The next two boys were really good and he was pinned by both. This was a wake up call, since they knew what they were doing, and he didn't. He decided that it would be good to learn how to pin, and that wrestling is more than just playing around!

So here is a short clip of him in his first ever REAL match....

We think he has great potential! Go Joseph!

Puzzled

This is James. He loves to do Puzzles! These pictures were actually taken a few months ago, but I thought they we too good not to post. I have never helped him with these puzzles, he just started doing them on his own. I thought that was pretty good for a two year old! I believe Mason is in one of the pictures, but James takes all the credit, Mason just likes to watch him!
He also has several smaller puzzles that he does, but the big ones are fun cause they are bigger than he is!

Ammon's Birthday!

Ammon is now 6 years old! We went to Flag for his birthday and had lots of fun! (Flagstaff, AZ) Thanks to Grandma's and Grandpa's cards and birthday money!

We don't have our own grandparents close enough to celebrate birthday parties with us so we adopted the Webb's! The are good friends and the only "family" we have in town!

So since this is my first posting, ever! I might add some more pictures of my cute kids! Enjoy!
