Disneyland!!!

So after our Mexico trip, we took a family trip to Disneyland. It was awesome and we had a great time. Aiden is so brave, he rode the Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and Splash Mountain and he loved them...................well Space Mountain scared him a bit because it is so dark in there. Ashlyn wasn't quite tall enough to ride the big big rides but she had a great time on all of the other ones!!!

I just love this one of Ash, I want to blow it up and frame it. It's clear she has the same love for Disney that I do!!!!

Our Mexico trip

Oh my gosh, we had so much fun! We left on Easter Sunday and that was probably the hardest day of my life. I DID NOT want to leave the kids for 5 days. Sean's Dad picked us up at my sister's and we headed to the airport in Reno. Once we got there we met up with about 10-12 people from Sean's childhood and let me just tell you they are a crazy fun bunch. We had a layover in LA where Sean's older (and louder) brother joined the flight (I really feel bad for the other people on our flight)

I just this one of Sean's dad is hilarious. These people were a lot of fun!!



This is when we decided to go to bed AFTER the wedding ha ha

The wedding party!

This is us dancing!

So even though I missed my kids SOOOOO much, it was so great to have so much time to spend with Sean. It really was like the honeymoon we never had.

Playing at the park

Sorry about all of the pictures in the last couple posts, I got a new camera and so i've been taking millions =) I know Ashlyn is making the same face in all of them but she was just so darn cute. The kids have so much fun at the park it is hard to get them to head home!

A day at the beach

We took the kids to the beach last weekend and they had a blast. Aiden got a snorkel, mask and fins and after several practice dives in the bath, he was ready to try it in the ocean.



This is the view from the road driving down to the beach.....I just thought it was pretty!

He looks like Scuba Steve!

Walking out with Daddy!

He went right to it, the boy is like a fish!

Ashlyn playing in the sand!

Just hanging out in the water!

I love this one, Sean was teaching him how to keep water out of his mask!

How cute are they?

I love this one too, Aiden wants to be just like his daddy!

So that was our day at the beach, I know there are a million pictures but I took the opportunity to play with my new camera!!!

Another craft........

So we decided to try out another craft. We started with a bag of Fruit Loops and 6 cups. The kids sorted the loops by color. They LOVED this part and asked to do several more piles of loops before we moved on. (Please excuse Ashlyn's hair, we did this right after breakfast)

Next the kids poured each color into a baggie.

Then crushed them up until they resembled sand

Finally I let them pick the colors and they dumped them in baby food jars. I thought it was interesting that they each made a pattern.

This was another really easy craft and the kids had a blast. I think they turned out pretty cute!!!
