California Adventure

So, they are doing construction on California Adventure's big lake. So, it was kind of roped off, closed up, and you had to see a lot of big blue walls... I liked Disneyland better, but California Adventure had some very cool rides!

Mater! and Lightning McQueen! Sweet! I love these guys. Having lunch :)

Jessie waiting in line for the Tower of Terror, my favorite one. :)

Jessie got some mickey mouse bread for her birthday at lunchtime.

Brother Bear...

A Bug's Life land, it was adorable, and their 3D show was very cool.

Jessie trying to lift those weights...

Mark was posing for this picture, I was NOT.

I think we walked 20 miles each day, we are exhausted, but we had a wonderful time. Disneyland is the funnest place around!

Disneyland ROCKS!

We haven't ever brought the kids to Disneyland, we decided this year for their birthdays, it was due time we went. So I am going to post lots of pictures of Disneyland, just warning ya!

We flew into Orange County on Tuesday morning and headed to Newport Beach. The weather was about the same there as it had been in Portland, in the 60-70's. That didn't stop the kids from getting right into the ocean though.

Curren found a surfboard with his name on it! (he was kinda sorta named after this guy :)

Here we are... standing in line... for the Buzz Lightyear ride. It was fun. And can I just say Fast Pass is the best thing ever???

The castle! We even saw the evil wicked queen wandering around there, she was very snobby and rude, which was very fun.

If you go on your birthday, you get in free. And you get this cool button to wear, so everybody says Happy Bday to you!

Jessie with Pluto.

We got to meet Mickey the Mouse! He even kissed the kids on the head :)

Lumberjax Lacrosse

For those of you who haven't watched a Lacrosse game, I highly recommend it! The game is highly competitive, and the players aren't afraid to go at each other to get the ball. The Portland team here is called the Lumberjax. Please go if you get a chance this season, and let me know what you think :D

And some random pictures of the kids from last week :)

Bowling

We went bowling last Monday night, and we all had fun. I had to post the "action" shots of the kids, they are too cute :)

Curren has been earning points every day at school, based on how well he does. He gets to pick out something fun to do when he's reached his goal. So, he chose bowling. It was lots of fun, even though the gutter ate the balls most of the time.

Jessie's thoughts of the day

Jessie’s thoughts of the day:

Getting ready for church yesterday, I was curling her hair. She said, “mom you know on the dollars with the president? They wore wigs!” I replied “yes, they did! That is silly isn’t it?” and she says “yes, and my hair looks like that president guy”

When Jessie was getting in her pajamas for bed she said “mom, I am turning into an old lady!” me: “what?! Why do you say that?” Jessie: “Because I have moles all over, I didn’t used to!”

Jessie is a riot! She got a haircut a few weeks ago and she likes it, because she can brush her own hair :)

Here's Jessie with her horse slippers.

And here are my good looking boys.

Back from Anacortes!

We went to Anacortes, WA last weekend! We had a great time seeing our friend's the Weaver Clan. It was cold, but NOT raining, so we went on a hike. If any of you have not been to the Pacific Northwest, please come. It is just beautiful here. The following photos are taken by Matthew, he has an awesome camera, and a good eye for taking awesome photos, so enjoy :)

Roller Skating party!

We were invited to our friend Justin's birthday party, they had it at Skate World. It was awesome! It still smelled like 1972 in there, complete with red and orange carpet. We had a lot of fun. The star glasses were party favors... we don't wear them on a regular basis, I promise ;)

Jessie was all over the place, the wall was her favorite place to be...

This is so funny, Mark took two pictures and then made this... it is just hilarious, enjoy LOL!!!
