Disneyland

We decided to take advantage of the free admission on your birthday at Disneyland so we took my mom there for her birthday. She had been talking about it for the longest time and I know she enjoys going with the kids. We spent the whole day there and went from one park to the other. Now anyone that knows Ashly and roller coasters, knows that they don't mix....until now! She rode, Space Mountain, California Screamin', Tower of Terror and loved all of them!!! At the end of the night she was riding them with her hands in the air!

Its been how long???

After seeing that I hadn't posted anything new in 3 months I felt obligated to post some news about us. Anyway here goes.....

Lets start with Halloween!

I always enjoy carving the pumpkins with the kids, this year I decided not to help but watch as they carved their pumpkins by themselves! Andrew used a stencil and made a ghoul, actually turned out looking real good. Ashly on the other hand went with a custom traditional face pumpkin. If you look closely you can even see that she made hair for it!

Ashly wore my kimono from back when I was little. It was a gift from a relative in Japan, so this was a special deal when I let Ashly use it for Halloween. She had a Japanese umbrella and my real kimono and she looked so cute!!!





Andrew is getting to the age where he almost doesnt want to dress up anymore. So being the sad mom that doesnt want to see her son grow out of the "kid" things I managed to talk him into dressing up. First he wanted to be a mobster and then he found it, the one costume that made him want to dress up! He was "Chuckie"!








Since Aubrey (my cutie niece) is still little and doesnt understand it is fake, she didnt take too kindly to Andrews costume so we had to put Andrew in the back of the picture and have him sneak his mask on for a quick picture. (Also see below for picture)
