how can our oldest be old enough to be this handsome, enjoyable young man?
he's growing up way too fast.

the world through his eyes

i love the awe and the amazement my baby enjoys when he feels the touch of a baby lady bug on his skin, the look in his eyes when one lands on his arm, when his chubby little finger points to the tiny red insect crawling, tickling his delicate little self. his giggle that starts in his tummy and erupts out his happy grin. trying to catch it as it flies away.

Love Toy Story- so we ran to get our picture with Jesse
Shilo was so funny about meeting the characters.
If there was a line, she would rather wait in line for a ride.
But they did do a couple pictures for me.
{Chastin looks like he's ready to take off to the next ride!}

Kids favorite treat, they always bring these home from Disneyland


Our new favorite ride!
Toy Story 3D
It was so awesome- longest line, but worth the wait!
when we all got off,
we looked at each other and said
"lets do it again!"
Loved it so much we had to buy the Wii game of it when we came home!
