First Snow of the Season!!!

We have had such a beautiful, longer Fall than usual. Yesterday was 72-today high of 49 and snow. The boys could hardly wait to get
their snow gear on and have some fun outside.
Cohen- "Heavenly Father is throwing snow everywhere."


Love the snow, not so much the wetness of it

all in my house...boots, coats, gloves.

Halloween Weekend

On Friday, we started our Halloween weekend with Asher's party and field trip. I volunteered to decorate my trunk for the kiddo's to come by and get a treat. This is my lame attempt at doing it. But, I just wanted to point out that I backed in-ME-. I am even in the lines and I didn't hit anything:)
Afterwards we headed off to Tagawa Garden, where they had several activities for the kids.
Decorating pumpkins.
Planting flowers.
Obstacle course and parachute games.
Friday night we carved our pumpkins.
Saturday morning we went to Boo at the Zoo.
Later that night we made our Haunted House.
Cohen enjoyed eating all the candy instead of putting it on.
A tradition the boy's have is karate chopping the house after they build it.
A fun, messy, tradition they have. Boys will be boys no matter how old.



It was a Happy Halloween!

DISNEYLAND IS A MAGICAL PLACE!!! Part I

Disneyland was awesome! We left on Sunday afternoon and arrived in the late afternoon. We took a Disney Bus to our hotel, checked in and headed off for some dinner. We ended up at The Cheesecake Factory, which was delicious. Afterwards we went back to our hotel (which was right across the street from the main entrance-so nice) and went to bed to get some rest for our adventure!!!
The Cheesecake Factory was soooo good and much cheaper than eating at Disneyland.
Too bad we only ate out of Disneyland that night and spent too much money on not so good food. But we were having a great time and didn't want to leave the park.

The famous Castle entrance to Disneyland. According to Asher, once you walk out of the Castle you left Disneyland, even if you are going to California Adventure. It was pretty funny.


With our vacation package we were able to enter Toon Town an hour early to meet some friends. Asher was pretty shy, but not Cohen he went right up to the characters.

Our first ride-Mr. Toad

CHURRO Time. YUMMY!!!
In line for the Tea Cups!

After the first day and Cohen was OUT. You know he had a long day when he falls asleep first.


On Tuesday it rained pretty much all day. So that was the day of shows. We saw Aladin-which was great-, It's tough to be a bug 3-D show (that is how Cohen wore his glasses), and The Muppets in 3-D. (On Monday night Zach was thrilled they had Captain EO, it was fun to watch) Asher really wanted to do the Jedi Training, but they cancelled that training because of the rain and had Darth Vader, Storm Troopers and Darth Mahl out to take pictures. Our camera was in the stroller and well got wet and stopped working. So you will notice the date on the pictures is not right. Later that night it started working again, but would take them went it felt like it.

On Tuesday night I got tickets for the kids to go Trick-or-Treating. Disneyland closed to the public at 6pm unless you had tickets. Let's just say that Zach did NOT like paying to get candy and definitely not waiting in lines to get it. So I encouraged him to take the boys on rides and I stood in line to get candy. The lines were short everyday and especially that night, so Zach went on Indiana Jones since that was the only ride the boy's were too short to ride. We were waiting by the exit and Asher fell asleep on the rock. Asher had right to be tired, we got there at 7am and left at 10:30pm, not stopping at all. All three days we got there when it opened and left when it closed. If you look at his pants they are soaked up to his knee's. It was rainy and kind of chilly while we were there. After the first day, Zach walked to Target which was 2 miles away to get us sweatshirts. We each had one pair of pants, one long sleeved shirt, and the rest shorts and short sleeved shirts. The next morning Zach was using the blow dryer to dry our pants and shoes. Poor Cohen's feet were soaked and were wrinkled like a raisin. They hurt him so bad he didn't want you to touch them. But he never complained once about his feet. This part I of our Disneyland trip. I will post more pictures that Zach took with his phone since our camera broke for a good part of the time we were there.
