Disneyland

Last weekend we took a little last minute vay-cay to So. Cal to visit the So. Cal Rosenhan's and to hit up Disneyland. Planning a trip to Disney during Veteran's weekend was probably not the brightest idea... but we apparently don't think about things like that.

Preston and Hilarry were the perfect hosts with all the perfect toys for Weston {a lap top, a phone with a VERY LOUD ringer volume button, and 2 i-phones}. We had such a fun time and miss them already! We did so many fun things and of course ate our way through Huntington. We even coerced a teenager from Hilarry's ward to come babysit one night so we could go to the movies and get Pumpkin Pie Pinkberry. Hello.... so good.

Then there was the happiest {and most exhausting} place on earth:

Our first ride on Dumbo.

Weston is totally obsessed with the Mickey Mouse club and I thought he would love meeting the characters. I'm hoping he did in his heart because his face was pretty much blank from shock.

It was pretty comical to watch Cameron drive around the bend on Autopia with Weston almost hanging out of the car. Seat belts do not contain toddlers on their own.

Cameron with his bro {Hilarry was there but I was sworn to only posting perfect pictures and I always keep my word}.

Our good friends, Jeremy and Michelle, vacationed to Disney the same weekend so we hooked up with them for a bit. Pretty sure this is one of Weston's best pictures.

Jamba for dinner at 9 pm.... nothing like a day at Disney with a toddler {it's freaking exhausting!!!}

Swing Batter, Batter, Batter

The new favorite activity 'round here is wiffle ball. Weston means serious business when he is playing with his ball and bat about 10 hours of his day.

Game over when the "annoyed" face comes out to play....

G&M Farms {2010}

Mission accomplished: we hit up the pumpkin patch 4 times this season... and now that its November and I'm feeling slightly less lazy and tired I thought I would post them. I don't know if I'm so tired from chasing around the busiest toddler in America, or being preggers, or just a bad combo of both.

Anyhow, I love G&M farms and Weston loved all the nasty germs in the corn pit.

This face must be documented because he makes this hideous face anytime he wants something or he's annoyed. It's pretty sweet.

Evan and Weston thought putting their faces through the holes while the moms made animal sounds was the funniest thing in the world. I think they did it about 100 times.

They chased each other in the hay maze forever; giggling and cracking up at each other over and over and over again. Wish I had it on video....

Weston and my mom.

Trick-Or-Treating {2010}

I'm seriously in love with Halloween and now I love it even more now that I have a kid. Weston loved trick-o-treating with his friends and thought the whole process was so entertaining.

Brayden and Weston destroy Brayden's porch on a daily basis. Everything from the porch eventually ends up on a the street so we couldn't deny them of their favorite activity pre-trick or treating.

Taking his ghost light very seriously.

Brayden as a cute mini Peter Pan.

Weston eating a pre-trick or treating snack as I get mom of the year award for letting him eat of the ground.

Ava as a little ballerina.

So fun to watch your little one climb up the big steps to knock on the door just because every else is doing it. Pretty sure he no clue what was going on other than he got lots of attention.

It was pretty funny to watch Weston alternate between taking the candy from the people and giving his candy from his bag to the passer outers.

Shelfing The Nurse Costume

I'm not a fan of dressing up... and you would know that if you had seen my "nurse" costume for the past 5 years {yes, it was just a pair of scrubs}.

This year the stars aligned and we got to wear the perfect costumes {this is kind of like a game... you have to guess what the words say since they are slightly covered}

And just to clear things up... yes, Cameron is the bun maker around here. Can you tell how thrilled he his to wear this costume?

We are sooooo excited and due the last week in April.

Super Weston

without a mask...

and with a mask. Of course they are all crazy blurry because all he wanted to do was rip it off his face. We even role played the whole month of October... yeah, that didn't work.

Over Nighter

My mom came into town this past weekend so Cameron and I decided to go on a date in the city and spend the night. I might have started crying when we left, but we left... so that's the point.

Our hotel was in Union Square and any calorie we ate was erased by the giant hill up Powell. Let's just say we were panting every time we got to the top. We had the best time doing all the things we don't get to do on a regular basis.... plus I introduced Cameron to Papa Beard's cream puffs because he didn't believe me that they could be that good. Verdict: they really are that good. Thanks to my mom for babysitting!

Weston: 15 Months

I think it is so fun to see your little pudgy baby turn into a not so little toddler. I could go on and on about his little personality but a few of my favorites are...

-he is crazy obsessed with LOUDLY saying hi and bye to every person he sees.

-he only calls me Mommy when he's calling me from his crib or when he's mad. All the other times I'm Mom.

-since he starting using utensils at about a year he has since then refused to eat his meals with his fingers... utensils only! I'm pretty sure he has better manners than me and can eat a bowl of cold cereal never dropping a cheerio off. You would think I had enrolled him in and etiquette class.
