First Disneyland Trip

Hangin out with Pooh and a little honey





















We had a blast today at Disneyland. Kevin and I couldn't wait to take Ethan for the first time. We were just excited to see his reactions to the characters and rides. First we met Pluto. He didn't cry or laugh but he kept a close eye on that huge dog. His favorite ride was it's a small world. He was dancing the entire time. He also loved toon town and playing in Mickey and Goofy's houses. He had a great time pounding out the tunes on Goofy's piano. We were able to meet up with my friend Amber and her little boy Nathan who is now 2. It was so fun to see the 2 of them play together. I think taking your child to Disneyland is like one of those huge moments in life or more of like a parenting milestone. Ha Ha. Well,we survived and all had a great time leaving with wonderful memories.

Hawaii December 2008

Here are some pics from Hawaii last December

We had a lot of rain and a lot of fun on the trip

Last December we spent some time in Hawaii. It is a fun time to visit the island with all of the holiday decorations up and the Hawaiian Christmas music playing everywhere. The best part of the trip was that we were able to be together and also bring my mom with us.




The Beginning

So here goes my attempt at blogging... I'm so excited to share pics with friends and family along with what we are up to. These past few weeks have been so special because we have been able to spend a lot of time together just hanging out as a family. We especially love to hang out with our little man. He is so much fun and keeps us going non stop. He is almost 14 months old now and has been running (literally) since 10 months of age. He currently love music, swings, throwing things, blowing rasberries, and eating peaches. He is the joy of our life.
