Disneyland


We went on the California Screamin' 4 times... Drew new right where the camera was and would make funny faces every time.






I just love my husband... he is so funny.
My parents wanted my sisters to experience Disneyland but weren't really wanting to go themselves... so I got lucky and they paid for me to take them. I talked Drew into coming with us and we had a blast. Sadly we left the little Ty guy at home. I was so unsure about leaving him... and now that I did... I'm really glad cause he would have been to young to go on most of the rides any way. When he reaches 42" we'll have to take him back.

Man I haven't had this much nonstop fun in a really long time. My legs and feet were aching with all the walking and I didn't care... we'd run to the next ride. I can't wait to go again... I'm having withdrawals! It really is magical!

Bear Lake Fun

Ty was ready for a nap in this photo
Drew and Ty

Ty just wanted to play in the snow ... it was cute. He loved it when you'd drag him around by his feet.

Brandon and Colton

We spent the weekend up at Drew's grandma's condo in Bear Lake. We went last year with the whole family and had a great time with snowmobiles and sledding... this year Brandon (Drew's Brother) and Mindy and their two kids were the only ones who could go. So we left the snowmobiles and just brought the tubes and sleds. We had a great time. We missed having Craig there to pick us up at the bottom of the hill!

Here are the kids on way too much sugar jumping on the beds. ...Uhhh don't you love the 70's decor and the awesome wall paper! I love going up there.

Happy Valentines Day!

Ty went in for a Valentines kiss!
They were so cute... they were each others Valentines and loved holding hands as they walked... it was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
My friend came to visit. We had a great trip to the Drapper Temple open house and had fun hanging out with our little ones... Ive mentioned this before but Ty and Leia were born on the same day. Paople made comments about them being twin... it was cute.

This week so far...

Ty got his first shiner today... 3 stitches... and I am feeling like a horrible mom. We were at the bank and he slipped and hit the corner of the counter where they keep all the deposit slips and stuff. Blood was every where and all the tellers were running to my aide with tissue boxes. Luckily one teller went and grabbed a sucker and gave it to him trying to calm him down. As soon as the sucker hit his tongue he stopped crying and said "ummmm!" It was pretty funny. 

Getting stitches is something I hope to never go through again... but I'm sure I will at some point. They put Ty in this straight jacket thing and he screamed through the whole thing. After it was over Drew picked him up and gave him his binkie to try and calm him down... he took the binkie and angrily through it at the doctor. 

He's been surprisingly really happy since the event... I think it's all the sugar... he's probably had four suckers so far and then we took him out to get a chocolate shake after the "surgery."

On a good note...Ty started Kindermusic this week and loves it. He practically giggles through the entire 40 minutes. Oh... and he loves to rock out to moms itunes.
Drew bought Ty a little basketball and has been working with Ty on learning how to dribble. Ty loves it... totally can't do it... but loves to watch Drew and then throw the ball as hard as he can.

I've alwas wanted to do this with Ty and us. People tell us all the time how he looks just like me or just like Drew... especially people that don't even know he's adopted. ...well... it turns out he looks more like me!
