DIsney Land, Beach, Dinosaurs

We went on a family trip with all Curtis's family to California this past weekend, and had a lot of fun! We spent one day at Disney Land, one day at Venice Beach, and on the way home made a stop at the random Dinosaur place. We had a lot of fun and loved being with our cousins. I think it was a little too much for the boys to take in but they were good troopers the whole time. We cant wait to go back and take the kids again (but not until they are old enough to remember...right now they are free so we don't care but I refuse to pay $65 for a 3 year old...at Disney land).

Here we are at the Dinosaur place...I never thought my kids looked alike but in this picture they really look like brothers.

Chase is really into army guys right now so he was excited to see this...plus the long army convoy we passed going home...he was so giddy

I wanted to get a family picture at Disney Land but that never happened...then I wanted to get a family picture at the beach and that never happened...so I settled for the Dino place...and the picture isn't even good...sad.

Three Generations of waters...Pops, Daddy, and Chase

Chase loved this little guy holding the door...

Venice Beach...The boys loved the Water. They just ran right into it. We weren't expecting to get all wet just because the water was so dang cold but the kids seemed to care less. They were so mad when we had to leave.

Chase and cousin Ty surfing

So for those who have been to Venice Beach you know it is a lot of odd people...People everywhere doing the weirdest things for money...so we had Chase dance for money. He didn't make any...

Here is Disney Land. This is the boys at the end of the night. They were dead tired...another picture that makes my kids look like brothers...

Here we are at the tea cups....daddy made us really dizzy

Here is our big family picture

Ethan hated waiting in line...once we got close enough to see what ride it was he would flip out and try getting between the bars

But once he was on he loved it and did not want to get off

Going through the Haunted Mansion...

E and me on a ride...

The only Character we saw...at least it was one the boys loved

Family....daddy, e, uncle Greg, Erin (Greg's girl friend), and Chaser

Our fun summer!

Well here are some pictures from our fun filled summer. To start the wonderful summer off....

Chase busted his lip up pretty bad and hit his head pretty hard. My poor "big boy" (he wont let me call him a baby he gets upset and says he is a big boy).

My parents decided to take us all on a family vacation to Utah. We rented a condo in Park City and stayed for the week and did lots of fun things.

Here we are at the alpine slides and I am chasing Ethan around all the shops...we actually did the alpine slides earlier then went back to eat some Mexican food.

Chase showing us where the Ninja Turtles live.

Chase being a "Big boy"

Climbing...

Laughing...


Just being cute...

Now here we are at Lagoon. I have tons and tons of pictures here but I love Chase's Picture smile here...

He finally just passed out at the end of the day...

Everyone exhausted after a long day.

On Sunday we decided to spend the day at Temple Square...

Here we are playing dress up. We were trying to be a Shepard but he just wanted to be a ninja turtle...

Here we are at the Family reunion. Again Chase just falling asleep wherever he gets tired.

The boys having fun...

Down at the little lake watching everyone fish...Chase looks like a nerd here.

Here we are with cousins playing outside in the HOT weather after playing in the water

And my favorite part of Arizona the monsoon weather.

I let the boys play in the rain before it go to crazy...

Lets see...I have decided to go back to school and finish my teaching degree...hopefully get done when the boys start school and teach while they are in school. Chase is getting to be my big boy. He is getting so smart and funny. Ethan is getting to be a crazy kid. He is going to be my wild boy. Him and Chase are funny together. I will admit at first I thought they were going to hate each other. Once E started walking and moving he wanted everything Chaser had so we were always fighting but now they are learning to play with one another and are having more fun with each other. Ethan will repeat anything you say to him. He is such a good little talker. Curtis is working for my dad and enjoying it. He has started on all these projects around the house so I feel like I am living in a construction zone always but its exciting that things are finally getting done and our house looking pretty after two years of living here. That's about all. Next is Disney Land with Curtis family and we are all so excited! I haven't been there since I was a baby and cant wait...and Chase everyday wakes up and asks if it is time to go. He is so pumped. He is always asking to watch Disney land videos on you tube or on disneyland.com. So that is our next adventure!
