The Happiest Place on Earth!

 We were lucky enough to go to Disney Land and California Adventure with Ryan's entire family!

 Be ready...you are going to be bombarded with pictures!  Seriously...

 I didn't get tons of pictures of us all on the rides, but we got a couple!

 We got to see the parade at Disney Land!  It was completely by accident and ended up being one of Aiden's favorite things!

 Asher slept through the entire thing!

 The costumes and dancing were so amazing!

 Aiden LOVED the Princess float

 Especially Rapunzel!

 I love the excited sparkle in his eyes!  It's enough to move a mommy to tears!

 At California Adventure we did a lot more things!  Aiden loved "A Bugs Life" area!

 Aiden dancing...of course!

 What could he be watching?

 The Tron performance of course!  Aiden LOVES Tron!

 Lost his shoe before the awesome Water Light show began...if you go to California Adventure I highly recommend seeing this!  It was awesome!

 Again...my sleeping baby!

 Cousins Cole and Ellie

 After the light show we checked out the Tron "club" then got in line for Monster's Inc.  Aiden was so tired he laid on the floor in line!

 The last day we were there we went to the beach.  The weather was not good for the beach, but it was still fun!

 Action shot!

 All my handsome boys!

 Aiden and Savannah running from the waves!

 Aiden, Jackson and Savannah

 Some guy caught TWO of these sharks while we were there!  This folks is exactly why I don't get in the ocean...other then my little toes.

 My little family...this just might be my Christmas card picture...yes I am too lazy to go get good ones done before then...  :)

 Brian the Sea Weed monster

 Aiden and Jackson...when those 2 get together they come up with some of the most interesting ideas...I guess that's what 4 year old boys are good at!

 Ry and his Brother Dave playing Frisbee

 Aiden had to join in too!

 Asher and Capri!  They are 2 months apart...isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?!  I think I can beat it though...

 Yep!  THREE babies!  How much fun is that?!  Asher, Capri and Baby Andrew

 Aiden and Savannah...making calls to China I'm sure :)

 Cole was having way too much fun...

 I think these pictures are so cute of Aiden and Savannah!

 The drive home...it was actually really good!  We made the "12 hour drive" in just under 15!  Not too bad with 2 kids and an hour time change!

It was such a fun trip!  Aiden had a blast and it was good to spend so much quality time with the entire family!

Happy Freaking Halloween!

 Let's hear it for Hulk Nation!

 Basically this costume took a good...10 hours?!  A few bleach sessions, iron on letters, and a shirt fix later...

 This is what we got!  Unfortunately I didn't get pictures the night of the Halloween Party, because we even put extreme bronzer on him!  It was quite amazing!

 My costume isn't quite as good...and honestly looked much better then night of the party also (yes...the tats looked better the night of the party haha)

 Can you guess who I am?!

 The eye tats should give it away...hints: took Sandra Bullocks husband and dated Nikki Sixx...

 Yeah that is the shirt alteration...VELCRO!!  Yep...we're awesome like that!

 Who you lookin at brother?  Yes this mustache is very real...and very awesome!

 The Hulk and Kat Von D hope everyone had an amazing Halloween!

 One more Hulk picture...just chillin at a cafe...that's how we roll!

Happy FIRST Snow Day!

 To start off with...doesn't this picture just melt your little heart?!  I was getting ready for work yesterday and came out to the living room to find this. :)

 Something not so heart warming that I woke up to this morning...snow!  I am not a fan of snow, but it does look rather beautiful when it's fresh like this!

 Asher hates ALWAYS laying down...but he cannot sit on his own yet.  So...the walker it is!  Right now he stay stationary...unfortunately I know this won't last much longer!

 What do you do on cold days?!  You read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and make an obscene amount of cookies!

 Aiden approves...we've found multiple cookies stashed in his room...remember the binkies anyone?!  Looks like we're gonna have the same problem with cookies!

 Isn't he darling?!  I am so blessed to have 2 super handsome little boys!

 Guess who FINALLY has his first tooth?!

 Yep...this guy!  can you see it?  The other one is just about to poke through also!

Happy happy first snow y'all!

catch up!

 So I've been HORRIBLE at blogging the projects we do everyday.  My only excuse is work is quite busy, and when I get home I just wanna hang out with my boys, and now...I'm sick.  It feels like I have sandpaper in my throat.  Awesome huh?  Anyways...my kitchen has been a HOT MESS lately and I love the reason why!  I've gotten the previously posted baby gift done, 2 Christmas blankets and a Christmas PJ shirt done.  I cleaned it all up though...I have a million more things to make before Christmas though!  I'm so excited!

 Anyway, let's continue the countdown!  Aiden decorated his very own notebook.  (yes, I do all the projects with him because I'm a 4 year old at heart...don't judge haha)  I love how he sticks his tongue out when he concentrates...you can see this action in previous pictures!

 Here's mine!

 He was very focused on this project!  He worked on it for a good hour!

 and his finished notebook!

 He earned this light saber (from the dollar store lol) for earning all of his marbles.  Yes, it took him a LONG time to earn it.  We may be tweaking this a little to figure out if something works better!

 Aiden's self portrait

 Aiden took this picture of Asher...so cute!

 The next day was actually brownies...I failed to take a picture of these...but they were DELICIOUS!

 Here's his "wreath" that we made.  He LOVES his sun! 

 Also, these crowns.  He was thrilled to make this!  Yes...those are googly eyes all the way around the crowns and no, he didn't want me to cut peaks into it.  Just a square crown haha

 Also, he received an awesome package in the mail full of books (thanks Grandma Marlene)!  Ryan had to read every single one of them to him as soon as he opened it (I was at work...Monday's are my long day :( ...)  That's one thing that Aiden absolutely LOVES is books.  I need to figure out a good way to store all his books and make him a reading "nook".  I've seen a lot of things on pinterest (or I've pinned ideas I've found elsewhere) that I love!  Real quick side track deal here...have you experience pinterest?!  I am IN LOVE!  Seriously!  I spend a ridiculous amount of time on there...well, more pinning from other sight there.  If I see something that I think is brilliant or that I love, I always think "ooh I need/wish I could pin that!"  Yeah...it's that addicting!  Check it out here though!  It's awesome!

Today's link was leaf art.  I got a bag of leaves at the dollar store, and the googly eyes made an appearance in this project too (I have a feeling they'll be on every project here on out).  I am starting to really fall in love with autumn!  It's such a great time of year!  The colors, sweaters, boots, etc.  I used to HATE it, but...I think I'm changing my ways!

So, there's only THIRTEEN more days until we leave for Cali!  I cannot believe that!  It has snuck up on me...and basically my weight loss goal..out the window!  No super cute swimsuit for me! hahaha I'm hoping that maybe I can still lose a quick 10 pounds before then, but we'll see.  What is going to fill up the time before we leave?

1. complete the chain (tomorrow is 'rub art' ...look for the awesomeness of that project!)
2. a BABY SHOWER for Ms. Alison whom I work with.  I adore her and am so excited for her and her hubby!  Me and a couple co-workers have a few things to make before then including a darling burp cloth bouquet, diaper tricycle 'cake', possible some darling onesie deals (there are a few ideas floating around) etc, etc, etc!  I am SO excited!
3. a super fun craft night with Alison and Stacey!  I am so excited to have some crafty friends to hang out with up here!  It's made Logan much more 'awesomer' :)
4. start to plan a couples Halloween Party with a few 'couple friends' from work!  It's gonna be fun!
5. my birthday (I'm sure Ry has something up his sleeve, which is why it's on this list)
6. PACKING FOR CALI!!!!!

So, busy...yes, but so fun!  Keep checking back because I'll have lots of pictures and fun posted this month!  Yay!!
