Disneyland, Day 1

We had a blast with my family down in Disneyland!!! I was really nervous to have 3 little kids on a 12 hour drive, but all things considered they did really great. Daphne basically slept the whole way and only cried when she was hungry, and Sophie is a really calm baby so she was pretty happy too. Zachary got bored easily, but we made it down there without too much crying on his part. :) Even though we got there around midnight, we got up bright and early the next morning to have a fun-filled day at Disneyland. We were exhausted at the end of each day, but everyone had a great time.

Um, yes, that's my goofball brother Matthew and his wife Cassie and daughter Sophie

Our first stop was Pirates. Zachary was scared of the first part that was pitch black, but he loved watching all of the pirates!

The whole crew--Lori, Karen, Gordon, Kyle, Kelsie, Cassie, Sophie, Matthew, Emily, Daphne, Neil, Matthew, Kelley, Carson, Zachary, Bryan, Rebecca, and Kimberlee--wow!

Daphne loves the Moby Wrap

All this playing is exhausting!

Grandma and Grandpa had a lot of fun :)

Zachary's favorite rides were the trains. He still says go on the train, in the dark, see the dinosaurs!!!!

Zachary didn't make it to the front of the line....

Cheetos make the best lunch

The customary "It's a Small World" picture

"And the horses go up and down and up and down!"

I love this picture :)

Lori bought Zachary Mickey Ears, and he loved them!

Disneyland

We got back from Disneyland a week ago, but I just barely got the pictures. There will be a post coming soon, so keep checking back!!!

New Haircut

Zachary's hair grows so fast and quickly becomes unmanageable. I feel like we're cutting it all the time, and it's just in a constant state of messiness. So today I took the plunge and cut it all off!! Well, I tried to do it and he just screamed so we packed up and went to the hairstylist where he sat really still and was great through the whole thing. Now it's a wake up and go cut, which I love!! I didn't take a before picture, but here's one from Disneyland:


And here are the after pictures. What a handsome boy!!

He got a sucker as a reward for being so good :)

3 Months Old!!

I know I am way behind the times, but here are some cute pictures I took when Daphne was 3 months old. She smiles all the time, is starting to coo and giggle at me, and loves to grab her toes and play in her little play gym. She is sleeping through the night, which is the most wonderful thing ever!!! She's a happy little baby, and we love her very much!

She's such a good baby!

I think she has the biggest eyes of any baby I've ever seen

This picture is a little blurry, but it's so dang cute!

Boy, these fingers are yummy :)

Naked Babies

This is their favorite time of day!! Well, Zachary loves to be naked, but I don't think Daphne really cares or even knows what's going on...

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day, my Mom, Greg, Kimberlee, Travis and Chaselyn came down to go for a hike and have a barbeque. We hiked up Battle Creek Canyon, and at the top is a pretty waterfall. It was a pretty easy hike, and it was fun to play in the waterfall. I had Daphne strapped to me, so I didn't go by the water but it was a great outing! Afterward we had a BBQ in our backyard, and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. I don't have any pictures of that, but it was a great day to spend Memorial Day!

Zachary loves his grandpa!

oooh, that's cold!

what a stud!

And of course, the day is not complete unless Grandma holds you :)

Everyone else hiked to the top of the falls and I sat at the bottom and took pictures. I love the zoom on my camera!

May Happenings

I know I've been a slacker at posting, but there always seem to be so many things that I want to do in a day that this doesn't usually take top priority. Here's some random pictures from the month of May, including the snowstorm that we got on May 24th! I think there's something wrong with the universe when it snows that late in May, but at least it melts quickly and Zachary had a great time playing in the snow!

This was the first time Daphne got to face forward in the Moby Wrap

Zachary loves bikes, and somehow he managed to get on top of mine without it tipping over!

All bundled up and ready to play in the snow

Daphne wasn't sure that she liked the whole snow thing....

Zachary loved it though!

Our poor, sad tree

And of course, no trip to the garage is complete without playing with the lawn mower

If only I can get him to want to mow the lawn when he's a teenager, I'll be set!
