Our Trip to Disneyland

It's been 10 years since we have visited the magic kingdom, so we decided to try our luck again.
Craig remembered some of the rides from our last trip, but he enjoyed trying some of the new rides out. The Hollywood Tower of Terror wasn't open yet on our last trip. Craig and I decided we should try it out (everyone else chickened out) Craig liked the ride, but that will be my last elevator ride there!
Matthew went to Disneyland a while back for his graduation trip. He knew exactly which rides he wanted to go on again. We still managed to get him on rides he hadn't done on his trip.

Tyler was funny. Everytime we would tell him about our last trip he would just laugh. The last time we went to Disneyland Tyler insisted that we go see the 100 acre woods gang, and then ride "It's a Small World" as many times as possible. (he has gotten over that infatuation) After we went on the ride he waitd until we got to the end of the very long line and said AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN. I laughed so hard I thought I would never quit. His new favorite rides are Space Mountain and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

I guess I just need a driving lesson here.

Everyone had a great time. We only rode about 8 rides on Tuesday, and 8 on Wednesday. Thurday we had an early admission pass, and managed to do 20 rides before the park closed. The California adventure park has a nightly show called "World of Color" that is awsome. All of us enjoyed it alot.

This was too ironic to pass up. A family of plumbers with the worlds biggest leaking faucet.

Tyler liked this sign

The boys found they're favorite characters right here.

The boys were very competitive on all of the interactive rides where scores were possible. We had a great time!!!

Christmas

All three boys got a huge package that said, "Disneyland Vacation Kit". Of course it was filled with all kinds of fun things that came in handy on our trip. (Yes this year we went to Disneyland for Christmas)

New Puppy

She opened her eyes this morning.


She will be two weeks old tomorrow

The Stock Show Arrives...

The stock show was last weekend. After all the hours spent with his steer- Tyler and Big Red are finally at the show...

Of course Red gets pampered (by Tyler)

Tyler cleans up really well. We found out in the last couple of weeks that Tyler is taller than both of his older brothers (who are in denial) I am used to looking up. Anyway, Tyler did a great job!

And Red actually cooperated too!

Getting Ready for the Stock Show

Some times the steer just doesn't want to go where they do.....and then they cheat

The tractor always win the tug-of-war. The boys are making progress. The show is the end of April.

Valentine's Day

I should add a picture to this but...I will just say it was a fun day. I made fleece blankets for all three guys at my house. I also gave Kary an awsome picture frame with a new picture of us, along with some munchies. Kary gave me some earrings that I had looked at last week. I was thrilled when I got home from class and he gave me my surprise. A little bit latter Matthew and Tyler came in and gave me some ear rings as well (they had a little help from dad) They were all sweethearts!!

Another Year Older And Wiser Too?

I don't have any pictures on my computer yet to go along with this post but I think Matthew's birthday this year was a hit for him. He loved his gifts (new basketball shoes, and automatic fish feeder for his aquarium, a movie, and some music) but his favorite part was the day itself. He can no longer claim to be an unspoiled kid! His day started with breakfast in bed. He got fed french toast (made with texas toast) eggs, sausage and juice. For lunch I made a VERY good sandwich served with his favorite chips. I made a double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (Matthew's request) and for dinner steak, yummy potatoes, and salad. He was waited on all day long and loved every minute of it!!!
