March 2009

Here we are at our neice Miya's second birthday party. The boys are excited for her to start opening her presents!



Happy St. Patrick's Day! Each year we start off the day with a GREEN breakfast. This year we had green milk, green pancakes and green scrambled eggs. Honestly -- it works better to just swallow it down REALLY fast without looking at it because it makes you feel a little...um....green.



Disney On Ice. We went to the Energy Solutions Center in Salt Lake to see the show with James and Jake. They loved it and it really got us all excited for going to Disneyland the very next week.




Disneyland!!! We LOVE going to Disneyland - riding the rides, seeing parades and getting great Disney souvenirs.
James' favorite part this year was being choosen to be a part of the Jedi Training Academy over in Tommorowland. He was also the only one out of 20 kids to get to fight Darth Vadar. He used the force and was victorious! He has wondered many times since why he cannot use the force to move objects around the house though....
The boys are at that great age where they LOVE to see the characters. Jacob was especially excited to see Tigger and was also a little tired -- I think he would have just gone to sleep in Tigger's arms if they would have let us hang around.
Me & James on the Buzz Lightyear ride. The boys do a great job shooting all of the targets. Alan and I "compete" to see who comes out ahead at the end score. Alan usually schools me.

I LOVE this cupcake store in California called Sprinkles. My favorite flavor is red velvet. Each time we go to California we also take a stop at my favorite little snack store.





No trip to California is complete without a stop at the beach. The boys had a blast collecting shells and hunting for "treasures" like cool stones, seaweed or little crabs and digging in the sand.
