Disneyland Jan 2-6th, 2012

We finally made it back to the magic kingdom this year! It is our favorite place! We did however leave Tyce with my parents in St George. It was hard to be away from him, but it was crazy enough with 4 others! I am glad they helped out! On our way home we met my parents and brothers family at red robin and headed straight home! We usually stay another while in St George, but we were anxious to get home to our beds! Tyce is almost 7 months! here he is with Brant and Evie (who will be a big sister in April, to a brother...) My sister also called me and let me know she is due in August!

We started out the trip at Medieval Times in Buena Park. We sat in the area for the red knight and he won! The kids LOVED it!


Audrey is all about Tink! She loved meeting her!
This was supposed to be a less busy time of year, but the temperature was 85 degrees F, and it made it a lot more crowded. next time it will be cooler and less crowded! We are planning on returning next Nov. Who would of thought 85 in January? here is the girls waiting for the Christmas parade!

We took advantage of the Train this year! It was so hot and crowded at the park! The kids loved it too!
Woody's Roundup! Fun ride but our longest wait @ 75 minutes!

the girls with Iradessa and Tink fairy.
The boys and I got Ponchos and rode the Grizzly river rapids at night! it was still freezing! It was super fun to have 5 hours with just the 2 boys while Derek had the girls! Evan finally did the California Screamer and LOVED IT!

We got stuck on its a small world for an hour! It was a great way to Cool off! (notice Derek sleeping behind us!)
had to do DUMBO!
So for the second time in a row we failed to get a whole group photo! This was the closest! Kate got sick and did a half day the last day when I was planning on it! Next time!
We met up with some of Derek's sisters! here is Kira with Jordan on her 1st birthday!

I got to ride with my sweet niece Brinley on Autotopia. She is great and almost 9.
Derek's sister Maria with her girls Brinley, Carly and Macy on the Jungle Cruise.

Audrey loved Mark Twain's River boat!
it was super fun! Gotta love DISNEY! Our new find was the Disneyland Pickles! We loved going on the new Ariel ride too! glad to be back with my sweet Tyce though!

Christmas at home

Almost everyone in our family had Bronchitis this Christmas (Tyce had it with a double ear infection too) Evan and Conner were somehow spared. We had to miss the famous family party, which was sad but we did our own lazy Christmas this year. The grand Present to all was a Disneyland vacation. We leave on New Years Day. My parents will keep Tyce which is sad, but it will make it a lot easier for us. He will get to go plenty more times in the future.

Tyce was the most spoiled with tons of clothes and toys! Everyone loved seeing him open his presents! Too bad he was sick!
The girls both were into Lalaloopsy dolls this year! Audrey's looks just like her doll! They both also got a lot of clothes and books. Audrey got an easel and little people and Kate got a Barbie and another lalaloopsy. They also got a lot of other stuff...
Christmas morning 5 AM, gotta love it! Audrey was up at 8, and Tyce was up at 9
Evan got his own Air Soft gun, and loves it! He also got clothes and video games
Conner and Evan both got Ninjago Legos and cologne. They also both got a lot of candy.
Baby Tyce! So cute! He loves his squeaky Cookie Monster. (Audrey is afraid of the Cookie Monster, so hopefully this will help her get over that!)
Someone hates mornings! She was grumpy as usually but so cute!
A couple hours later she was finally happy and put on her own Lalaloopsy dress-up clothes!
Tyce 6 months old
Evan and Tyce Christmas Eve!

Tyce 6 months

Before the big Christmas post, I wanted to update the new "talents" of Tyce! He is 6 months old, rolls all over, almost sits and army crawls. He has 1 and 1/2 teeth and loves to jump up and down! Bath time is his favorite time of day and Daddy gives him his bath so its Daddy time too. He absolutely ADORES his big sister Audrey and the cat Bella! He lights up whenever they are around! he is 100% SpOiLeD!!!! He is also a sturdy 20 lbs! He barely fits into the 12 month clothes! He is so squishy and fun! We love Ty- Ty!!!

Fall 2011

first snow! I really wasn't happy about it this year! some times its welcomed but I didn't really have a summer (baby, appendicitis...) so I guess I'm not ready!!
Audrey loved it however!!!
I took the girls to Yo Gabba Gabba Live in SLC. It was actually a lot of fun! Audrey couldn't believe it was real, she was in Heaven! It seems crazy, you get used to it!
Big Boy Tyce is eating food now and LOVES Sweet Potatoes and Carrots. Well actually he loves it all! I wish he was sleeping better and we would be on our way!!!!
Audrey really has a hard time taking pictures! I don't know what it is! She is just silly!
