Disney Mania

YES! We made it back to Disneyland. A very short trip, but still TONS of fun. It may have been more fun because it was only about 6 weeks since our last trip and Jack and Kyler remembered everything!

Howler-ween!

Spiderman and T-rex made their appearance this year! Kyler was hilarious. He told everyone when he was all done "Give me candy so I can go home and have a bath!". Jack just tried to get past everyone and walk into each home. It was a great night!

Happiest Family on Earth

We LOVE Disneyland. We had such a great time this trip. We were lucky enough to go with my mom and meet my Aunt Connie there for a few hours the first day. Jack loved Disney Junior live and Big Thunder Mountain and Kyler loved the Go Coaster and Toy Story Mania. It was a blast!

Warm Weather

I feel as though fall will never make an appearance, although the evenings have been magnificent lately. We are able to play outside from 5:30 to 6:30 now... The boys are having so much fun. It is almost like Christmas again...they have all of their riding toys to play with that they haven't seen since May. Put away the pool toys and bring out the Jeep!

Phoenix Zoo

We had such a great time at the Phoenix Zoo for Winter in July. There really wasn't enough snow to mention, but they gave out frozen treats to the animals so we were able to see more than what we would normally see. It was a great time and wasn't too hot at 7 am!

Goofy Summer

I just wanted to keep in touch with all of you about what we've been up to this summer so far, but I haven't had a lot of time, so here is the quick synopsis. Up top is Jack loving his swimming lessons. He actually LOVES the pool like a normal person would, unlike Kyler who must be 78% fish, 22% human. I swear, this is what we do all day - SWIM! Oh, no we don't go to movies, because they are loud and dark. We get up early and exercise so that we can make and eat tons of pancakes for breakfast everyday, then swim, then go to the store to buy flour and syrup, then swim again. Oh yeah, there's Jack's therapy, then swimming... that is what summer is for, right?

Sunday Dress

My parents went to Mexico and brought back these adorable linen shirts for the boys. I just had to take a picture of them. They look cuter in person, but they looked like two mafia men on vacation. So cute!

Easter and Swimming

Jack and Kyler were lucky enough to be in swim lessons for two weeks with a woman from our community, Marci. She was so great and the boys just LOVED her, and the heated pool! They have a two week reprieve and will be back at it the end of the month. Jack actually loved hunting for Easter eggs, even though the picture doesn't quite show his appreciation. Kyler picked up one and then dug into the candy, but they sure loved everything about Easter this year. Thanks to our families we had 3 hunts at home and a hunt at school too. You can only imagine all of the candy that Mommy and Daddy are eating, still...

Early Bird Birthday!

Year #4 was a success! We had to do a party a little early since Pepe will be out of town on their birthday, but we had so much fun. Chick-fil-A was having their family day with a bounce house, so we decided to take advantage of the free fun! Jack and Kyler had a great time and shared their party favors with some of the other kids there. They we lucky to be able to celebrate with Aunt Amber, Uncle Tim, cousins Allie and Jenna, Grandma and Grandpa Peterson, Great Grandma Peggy, and, of course, mom and dad. I can't believe it has been 4 years!

But they're Cousins...

These two are peas in a pod. Kyler LOVES Jenna. They have so much fun together and laugh at each other, it is so cute. Kyler actually talks so much about Jenna that he has Jack saying "Je-na" all of the time. So stinkin' cute. I was able to capture this moment of Kyler driving his cousin around our backyard in his Jeep. Oh, and yes, he did let her drive, too!

Disneyland

We had such a great trip to Disneyland! The boys met Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Eeyore, Captain Hook, Chip, and Dale. It was so great. Jack loved the Its a Small World ride and Kyler put his hands up on the Go Coaster in ToonTown. It was such a great trip and we are all sad to be back home, but we're already planning the next one!

3 Boys

So sorry it has been so long since I've posted. Jack and Kyler are doing great! They love school and are super excited for our upcoming trip to Disneyland! They have been preparing themselves by watching the Disneyland documentaries and singing "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me!"
