When it gets TOO quiet......

I know THIS little man is probably into some sort of trouble.......

Hes definately a gifted artist dont you think?!

At least he kept it to himself and not the walls..... :)

Disneyland with Grandma B.

We havent been to Disneyland since mid March so we were DYING to get there this week!

We went Friday and braved the crowds...I didnt realize it was the start of thier Food and Wine festival.....

I came across these 2 over at cal adventure...

Didnt see any dancing though, so I was a little bummed.

Mason was easily entertained while we waited for the parade...we saw the new parade. Paige went out into the street and got to dance with Lilo and was bragging all day about it.

Finally took mason over to the Jamboree nature place and he went NUTS. I think he found his favorite place there....well have to go much more now that he can climb and walk it was a blast.

Hanging on Main street....we just sat in the circle....watched people... and.....

ate one of THESE!!!!

Probably one of the cutest things ive ever seen.....

and SOOOOO YUMMY!!!

Hes a little "red in the face" from crying and begging for his piece...hes a candy junkie for sure!

Glad Grandma B got to come out and play with us....it was a really fun night!!!!

Paiges 1st Primary talk

This is for all Paigies family who would like to see her give her first Primary(church) talk.....at home.

Easter shananagans.

We had a really fun Easter weekend.

Saturday is always filled with laughs, new litters of puppies, trampoline jumping, homemade strawberry ice cream, cheesy potatoes, Egg racing & of course CHOCOLATE!

My egg racer. Hes a trooper. It was his 6th year competing and once again....he really let me down! :)

The Egg hunt competitors. Mason was giving these vetrans a run for thier money!!

He knows whats up!

Anything colored and round was going in his basket, whether it was an egg or not. He found a half eated orange and threw that in the mix as well....ewwwwwwwwwwww.

She was very particular this year.

If it wasnt a plastic egg full of candy or $$ she wasnt having it.

and she was especially excited because there were HSM eggs.

Masons face translation...I CANT OPEN THIS DANG EGG!!!

Masons first pig encounter..up close and personal. and STINKY! :)

So cute holding onto U. Kangs leg for protection.

Masons Basket from the easter bunny.......

Paigies Basket from the Easter Bunny.

Its a good thing we got a picture of it before because.............

In the morning, we woke up and Craig says....Paige is probably already down there eating her candy....I thought no way....

Oh yes my friend.

She came up to our room dressed in her new bathing suit, Sucking on a chocolate egg, So excited to tell us about what the Easter bunny had brought her!!!

Talk about a buzz kill :)

So cute and ready for church. She also gave her first talk in Primary today. She did awsome. NO fear of public speaking for this little girl. I know she didnt inherit that one from me :)

And trying to nail this little boy down for a picture is almost impossible :)

He was more impressed with this lady bug......

and then......he killed it.

They do look adorable though.

All day its been like this......grunt, grunt, grunt!

(I want to eat this candy NOW!)

Our attempt at a Easter family pic after church. best we got :)

Until next year scary pink cheeked bunny........

Its Time to hide all the chocolate from Mom and Dad -we need to get it under control :)

Hungry anyone?!

It makes me feel like my random trips to get my single glazed donut are not THAT bad :)

Fun fun weekend away!

We were lucky enough to get a 2 night hotel voucher from some friends & we used it to play in Oceanside this weekend.

We got to the hotel friday night and the kids were SO EXCITED!

The initiation of the hotel bed.....and the race to see who hits thier head or gets bounced to the floor first... MASON WON! :)

Ive always wanted to go down to see the Flower Fields in Carlsbad and we got our chance!
Love how bright these flowers are.
Its a little expensive but has a lot of things for kids, a maze, wagon rides, stamps to find at different places, and playground (that has old santas village playhouses in it)

She led the way out of the sweet pea maze. It smelled SOOOO GOOOD!!!

Looked a little bit like MUNCHKIN LAND.

It was really bright, starting to get hot, kids are tired...hungry...u see where im going with this? :)

Paige is always up for some picture posing.

I have pictures with my bro and sisters in this same playhouse at Santas Village , so it was kinda cool to get thier pictures in there too

Anyoone else go to Santas village growing up????

Then we headed down to the Pier. It was getting cold, but we toughed it out.


Mason testing out the sand....is this edible?? He decided NOT.

So he then raced to the 40 degree ocean water :)
He wanted to dive in and go for a swim. I have my hands full this summer!

Soaking wet....head to toe.

Time for some Rubys on the pier. The balloon man made this Ariel for Paige. She was thrilled with it. I was a little unsure :)

We spent a couple hours at our table in RUBYS. We had ocean view. Enjoyed hamburgers , onion rings & Sodas. Then a hot fudge Brownie sunday while the sun set.....

I LOVE VACATIONS :)
