more pics from Disney

Here are a few more pics from Disneyland. Brandon loves the movie "Cars" so we couldn't resist these pics.Some new toys that will be available soon....maybe not! I wanted a picture with Jessie and Brandon was being grummpy so the soldier was "putting a smile" on Brandon. :)

We had so much fun and hope to go back soon.

Disneyland for Christmas 2010

So for Christmas this year we decided to surprise Brandon by going to Disneyland. After he had opened up his last present we had him find a "pickle" ornament on the tree. Once he found the pickle we told him we were driving there today. He....fell.....over! He was so excited. This first picture is of Rich and Brandon at the tree at the main enterance. Waiting in line to ride a cool ride. I think it was the matterhorn.

Cool! Darth Vader and Darth Maul fight with the kids.

Halloween 2010

What comes after soccer? Why Halloween of course! This year our little one decided to be Ben 10! He had lots of fun running around turning into different aliens and fighting the bad guys!


Happy Halloween!

Soccer 2010

Brandon wanted to play soccer this year so we signed him up this fall. He is having a blast. In this picture he is goalie and is doing a really good job. One ball was coming straight at him and he kicked it away! Good job Brandon!

Playing

this and that

About a year ago my sister and I decided to take our kids to see Scales and Tails.

Heavy man! Heavy! Notice Brandon's face lol!

Imitating Brittany Spears.

Shooting stars

Last night was very sweet. I set my alarm clock for 3am and woke up Brandon and my husband. We then took a couple of blankets to the back yard and snuggled up and watched the shooting stars. I tried to show Brandon the lunar eclipes a couple of months ago but missed it (wrong night). We got up at midnight on Thursday but didn't see any (shooting stars) so it was very nice that last night everything worked out. Our two kitties even came out and watched with us :)

Family Vacation 2010

For our vacation this year we went with my parents, one brother and his wife, one sister and her husband/kids up to Idaho. We spent a week roughing it at MFR. Here is Brandon and Jayden (his cousin) riding a train at the 4th of July picnic.

We went looking for a place to fish and my Dad's car overheated and my sister's car had a flat tire...our car made it. lol. Anyway while the guys were fixing the flat tire my sister and I with Brandon and Jayden decided to walk to the lake (her other kids stayed behind to help). The kids kept picking up rocks and for this picture they decided to put them on their heads. sigh!

The ranch has this cool slide that the kids loved to go down. Here is Brandon going down for the 100th time lol.

Here are the kids getting ready to go river rafting. Looks like fun!

Going fishing.

Here is Brandon and Daddy. Brandon had just caught his very first fish! Boy were we (and still are) proud! Only 6 years old and he caught 4 fish during the whole trip.
