Halloween throw-back edition today. The boys have had some cute costumes, until this year. This year we dropped the ball. I blame Disneyland. They will be trick-or-treating in soccer uniforms.
 |
| both boys on their first Halloween. Connor, left in 2007 and Noah, right in 2010. |
 |
| Halloween 2008 - Clark Kent |
 |
| Halloween 2009 - Baseball Player. This was the first year we let him choose his costume |
 |
| 2010 - Tigger & Handy Manny |
 |
| 2011 - Charlie Brown & Buzz Lightyear |
 |
| the boys had matching shirts each day. this was their woody/buzz day. |
 |
| Noah refused to wear his ears - no shocker there. Always the golden child, connor was prepared to pose. |
 |
| Jeff & Bear on hsi favorite ride - Winnie the Pooh. I think Noah rode this 6 or 7 times |
 |
| We took this pic when we decided to add an extra day to our Disney tickets. I should have looked closer at my children and changed my mind. (these are their day 4 shirts) |
 |
| this is how we get Bear to wait in the long, long Disney lines. carbs. lots of carbs. |
 |
| can anyone explain the cult-like obsession with Mr Toad's Wild Ride? I just dont get it. |
 |
| this is my social-media shy SIL Steph and Bear. |
 |
| nope, no thanks. |
 |
| waiting for Cars ride - we waited for 2 hours for the Radiator Springs Racers |
 |
| papa & tashi striking a pose on Disneyland Day 1. We had family photos taken at Disneyland this day. |
 |
| Teacups (Day one shirts) |
 |
| My MIL got the boys these adorb, matching jackets. They are adorable. Luckily day one was cool enough to wear them for a few hours. The other days it was HOT, like AZ hot. |
 |
| probably the best pic jeff and i have ever taken. i'll probably put it on a tote bag or some coasters expect one for christmas on a mouse pad |
 |
| our baggage |
 |
| windmills on the way to California |
 |
| Our one stop on the roadtrip there. Quartzsite - thank you for your Burger King and filthy restrooms |
 |
| another coaster-worthy photo though i'm clearly wearing far too much jewelry for Quartzsite, AZ also, jeff somehow lost this hat at Disneyland. :( |
 |
| the official start to our trip - filling up in AZ to avoid CA gas prices |
 |
| Minnie Mouse Nails!! Let me tell you that they were a HUGE hit. |
 |
| We participated in a walk supporting UMOM and the homeless families they assist. The walk was at the Phoenix Zoo. Randomly the Dbacks support UMOM and so does Chi Omega here in Phoenix. #DoubleDipping for charity :) |
 |
| We had two birthday parties for friends of Connor in one day. Both were at pizza places. It was a bit much. |
 |
| the dreaded prize counter at PPP - I hate this part. they come home with so much random crap that took 45 minutes to select. |
 |
| Our nephew Jalen plays football for Mountain Pointe. We go and see him play as much as we can. The boys love it. |
 |
| Connor and his Uncle Chuck |
 |
| it was a great game. Jalen scored 4 touchdowns!! I think he's up to 16 scholarship offers. Amazing. |
 |
| I heart casual friday |
 |
| soccer practice has started again! |
 |
| Noah found the drawer where we his his books & puzzles. Yes, we hid them because this is always the end result. |
 |
| hoots. |
 |
| GO FIREKICKS!! |
 |
| My sweet new owl my bro & sis in law gave me. It lights up and I love it. |
