Day 2 at Disneyland

Trisha took Isaac on the bumper cars.  He loved it.

We found some benches to sit down on and have a lunch that Brad and Rose brought.  There were 15 of us total.

I can't think of what this place was called, but the kids loved going through it and climbing up the tree house things and playing in the caves.

While we were there a girl came up to me and said, "are you Gaye Nelsons daughter?"  It's crazy to see people you know among thousands of strangers.

We decided to wait in line for the Toy Story ride. By the end we all felt how Madeline feels here.  I think we waited almost 3 hours, for one little ride.  It was definitely Isaacs favorite though, we went on it again the next day and the line was much shorter.  Probably just and hour.

Brad and Rose were so great to help with the kids. I feel like Anna did really good.  When she got tired she would just lay her head on your chest and go to sleep.  Sweet little girl.

Still in line for Toy Story.

We got some great pictures though while we were waiting in line.  This is the cutest picture of Trisha's kids and their cousin Terra.

We coordinated shirts so it was easier to find each other. Alexa is starting to think we've been standing in line way too long now!

Jackson LOVES Trisha.  He tells her all the time, " I LOVE YOU!".  I guess because she's so fun and they  are always doing silly things like this together.  They were cracking me up!

This is how much Jackson loves her....he keeps giving her hugs and kisses!

We finally got to the part in the Toy Story line where we got our 3D glasses.....getting closer.

Cool Dude.

We finally made it.  Even Anna was happy.

We ended the day by Trisha getting herself two big ol' Slurrpies at 7-11. Just kidding one was for me and they were delicious.

Day 3 at Disneyland

The bummer about day 3 at Disney land is the day before Trisha was getting sicker and sicker and then had horrible fever and horrible cough all night and couldn't even get out of bed on day 3 of Disneyland. Poor girl.  I think she just couldn't stand us anymore. So we went with out her.  Brad watched all the kids (with the help of his 13 and 15 year old) while Rose and I went on a roller coaster ride called Screamin' that was way fun. We went on Toy story again, and a few other little rides.  

Cotton Candy is always exciting.

Day 3 at Disneyland me and the kids spent a little time on a bench. We played with our new toys and ate some more junk food.  It was nice.

 Anna kicked back with her bottle.

Isaac loves his new toys....

And Jackson loves junk food. (just like mom)

Toys.

Junk food.

Here we go...give him a bubble gun and he goes crazy. Bubbles!!

What an adventure we had and what an amazing friend I have that would take us to Disneyland for 3 days.  Nothing better than a best friend to bring sunshine to your day.

Picnic at Camel Hill

Me and the kids went for a picnic on the rhino today.  We went to camel hill by Grandma and Grandpa Whitney's house, so of course we had to sit on the tractor.

 The weather has been absolutely beautiful.

 Our cousin Missy saw us and came over to play with us.

 

Isaac took a picture of me and Anna.

I think one of the best things about being a mom is now I get to do all the fun things again that I loved to do as a kid.

Playing in Grandpa's irrigation ditch.

Jackson will be 2 next month.  He's getting so big.

Isaac is 4.  What a good boy he is.

We hiked over camel hill. They are good hikers.  Jackson would sit down on all the down hills and say weee and slide all they way down.

I brought our camp chairs and we had a yummy picnic.

Little Anna is 8 months now.  She loves being outside too.

Jackson has started climbing up on the top of the rhino like Isaac does. I just know he's going to fall off and break his head. He is such a climber.  I didn't let him do it here.

Jackson taking off to go explore.  Maybe he's going to go see if Grandma and Grandpa are back from their mission yet.  1 more month!

Isaac and Missy racing back to the rhino.

The Kids

The day after Elise broke her arm. She is sure a tough girl.

  Elise, James Jackson, Emma and Isaac.

My Boys

Nehi

A week ago Brian found a baby kitty out in the desert at work and he brought it home.  Of course Isaac fell in love with it and held it an loved it all day.  Well that night it died and the next day Isaac was devestated.  So a few days later when Brian saw a lady holding up sign saying "free kittens" he couldn't resist getting it for Isaac.  I wish he would have. Anyway, Isaac and Jackson (and Brian) love it and it is a cute kitty and so far a good kitty.  Isaac said "I want to name this boy kitty Nehi", so Nehi it is.  (sounds like Knee High)

Googlie Eyes

 Grandma and Grandpa Nelson in Texas sent all the Grandkids fun halloween bags which included some cool googlie eyes.

 Jackson loves to say "cheese" for the camera.

And show off his stink bug skills.

Happy Halloween!

 This year we went to Cannonville for Halloween weekend.  We left Thursday night and came home Sunday.  It was very cold so we were very glad we took my Mom and Dad's trailer especially since Isaac and Anna were sick most of the time.  Over all it was a good trip. Unfortunately I only took a few pictures.  These are Saturday in the trailer when we got dressed up to go over to Grandma Bonnies and trick or treat.

 Isaac and Jackson are some kind of scary bad guys who like to hit each other with their weapons and poor little Anna is a little Ladybug.

 Jackson thought about being a duck but that only lasted a few minutes.

 Jackson getting ready to go into Grandma Nelsons.

 All the kids. 

 Emma was the cutest little witch you've ever seen.

 Pretty princess and Tinkerbell.

 Super - Dus

 My little ladybug and sweet sister.

 Tough boys

This is what Jackson looked like all day - his mouth stuffed with candy.  I think Halloween might be his favorite.

I love My Grandma Bonnie.  14 people suddenly showed up at her house and she was wonderful.  An amazing woman.
