Our Trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!

We took our trip to Disneyland the week of President's Day. It was to celebrate Landon's 1st birthday (we were actually in the park for it) and Bradley's soon-to-be 7th birthday. Their birthday's are only 2 1/2 weeks apart so we can do that, I guess. Of course they are still going to have a party though. Our first night there we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa's. While the boys played with all the toys I used to play with as a child, and Grandpa and Frankie were in and out of naps, Grandma and I chatted. I love visiting with them and the boys LOVE the toys at Grandma and Grandpa Great's!I always get a picture of the boys with them and it 's fun to look back at how much they have changed.

This is Landon and Bradley lovin' Casey Jr. We were in the Monkey cage OF COURSE!!! Yes, they wore matching shirts. I was so excited because I can never find them matching stuff. Aren't they cute??


Landon hitched a ride on daddy's shoulder's a lot of the time when we were in line. He made A LOT of friends that way!!! He's quite the social butterfly! Frankie also wore a shirt that sorta matched the boys along with myself. I know it's dorky (and Dustin's totally going to make fun of me,) but it was fun for one of the days at D-land.

My boys on Storybook. I love how Landon's got his hand on Brad's head. He's always doing that.

I LOVE this picture of Bradley!!! He's just so handsome. I can't believe he's going to be 7!!! (And I'm 26 now! It just seems too weird!) Where did all the years go??


Bradley loves the Go Coaster in Toon Town. So you know we had to hit that up!

Landon took a little nap while we did that. What a sweet face.


Of course we had to get him Mickey ears with his name on the back even though he doesn't like to wear it for longer than 5 seconds. Can you tell he wants to yank it off?? He looks so cute for those 5 seconds though.

Bradley modeling his Pluto hat.

On our second day we started out at California Adventure. These are probably the slowest bumper cars on the face of the earth, but we always go on them when we're there. I guess it's 'cause they're cute.

This was too funny. While Bradley and I hit up Mulholland Dr. roller coaster, and the Jellyfish Jump Frankie strolled Landon around. When we met back up this is what we found. Landon fell asleep with his head on the tray and Frankie kept trying to lay him back, but his kung fu grip was too strong!


Just a close up of the sleepy baby. We eventually got him to release, and lay back! It still makes me laugh.

F is for Frankie! Yep, that's my man!


I told him to get "friendly" with the F. And I must say he "worked it" as Tyra would say. If you enlarge it look at the girl with her hand down her man's (?) pants. Yikes! No thanks!


Since there's no B, Bradley got comfortable in the O.


L is for Landon!


This is my favorite! We used to take pics in front of W. Rabbit's door (next to the Mad Hatter and the Tea Cups) when we were little. I've always taken Bradley's picture there. So this was Landon's first pic (and not his last) next to it.
We had so much fun at Disneyland! We went on everything and didn't have to wait in long lines (10-20 minutes). A lot of them we just walked right on to. The new Nemo ride was the longest line (45 min.) but it went by really fast, and the ride was really cool. I will always love it there. It reminds me of my childhood. We were lucky enough to grow up in Anaheim and go to Disneyland ALL THE TIME. I will never get sick of it!

My Little Landon Turned 1!

Landon had his 1st Birthday yesterday on February 21st! He was born on February 21, 2007 at 5:46 p.m.,9 lbs. and 19inches. I can't believe it's been a whole year. We celebrated his 1st birthday and Bradley's soon-to-be 7th birthday at Disneyland (post to follow) and had SO much fun!!! Here's a few pictures of my little guy through his first year. Here he is fresh out of the oven!
This is Bradley's first time holding him. Bradley was so excited (and Bradley looks so little too!)!

Look at those chubby cheeks and those pouty lips!

This was him ready to leave the hospital. Don't worry we covered him up. We just had to take a pic of him without the blankie.

This is Landon at 2 weeks old! My little old (cross-eyed) man!!! Check out that double chin. I could just bite it.

Here he is at 3 months old. What a sweetie!

6 months old at Brandon and Anneke's wedding. Good times!

Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Great's. He was 9 months old. More good times!

This is him at 11 months old. I just love that smile!!!

Finally, my BIG 1 year old on his 1st birthday!!! He got his Mickey Ears at Disneyland for his birthday. He won't keep them on for long (can you see the eagerness to rip it off in his eyes??), but ooohhhh it's just SO cute on him!!!
I'm just smitten with my Landon! He brightens up the day in our household. Bradley just adores him and I love it! I'm so thankful to have him!!!

Pick a Winner!

Yep, that's my boy! It looks like he's scratching his brain!!! He had us rolling! He was pretty impressed with himself too. Tyler, have you been spending time with Landon that I don't know about?? Haha!

Landon's First Haircut

Last week we took Landon to get his first haircut. We went to Cool Cuts for Kids because the kids can watch a movie or play a video game of their choice while they get their haircut. Bradley loves it and I figured there would be enough distractions that Landon would like it too. Here's the "before" shot of his cute little whispy curls.
The boys playing before they got their cuts. Isn't this a cute brother shot?

Bradley wanted to get his hair cut first so he could watch Landon. Landon was having a great time in the fire truck.

Then he sees the girl who is going to cut his hair and this is the look he was giving her. It was so funny! A little apprehensive.

" I'm not gonna cry but what the heck is she doing Dad?" Look at those lips!

About half way through he reached out his hand to me and it was so sweet! You can tell by the look in his eyes that he just wants me to hold him. But he wasn't going to make a scene or anything!

The "after" picture. He's so handsome! He looks a little traumatized, but don't worry he's just finally watching the movie (now that the cut's over).

Another angle of the finished product.
We were so glad he was so good for his first haircut. Frankie still misses the whispy's over his ears. And I do miss getting him up from a nap with his messy hair. But in a few weeks he'll be 1 (I still can't believe it!) so I guess it was about time for a haircut.
