Disneyland! September 2013

Disney(land) through a child's eyes will definitely be on my "favorites" list as a parent. We took the boys to California at the end of September. We were so thankful to be able to stay at Chris' aunt and uncles house and not only got to enjoy great company, but also see the sights of Southern California! We had a fabulous time…and are already considering going back next year! 


The boys are great travelers! This was the first trip where they walked around the airport a lot and weren't always confined to their stroller/carseat. They even carried their own "luggage". 


We have learned not to travel anywhere without cars! It keeps them entertained anywhere they go….

Upon arrival at Disneyland we saw our first character! The boys weren't exactly sure what to think?….

About to ride his first ride! (Toy Story)

CarsLand was definitely a hit! They loved Maters ride! 
 …and they even saw McQueen! 
 …and a "real" firetruck! 



..taking a break while we wait for Mickey. 




They were in awe! (but did ask why he didn't talk?. Explain that one?)

A little parade time.
 Love this picture! Such sweet memories! 



Sully especially loved the parade. He loved seeing and saying hello to all of the characters. 

Yep. They convinced us to get a souvenir. But how cute is this? Couldn't say no….

After our day at California Adventure, we had some beach time. The water was too cold but the boys loved playing in the sand. 




While we were at Disney, the Halloween Party was going on. So, we dressed up our super heroes and off we went! It was a wonderful way to enjoy Disney! 

Camden LOVED going trick or treating at Mickeys House. 
 Candy break. 


Looong day. Waiting for another parade before we headed home. 

Before we headed home, we took the boys to San Diego and spent the day at Hotel Del Coronado (one of our favorite places!). It was the perfect end to a memorable trip! 


….until next time. 

Butler Wedding 9/13

What an exciting September, 2013 we had! We got to help celebrate Aaron and Sarah's wedding! It was the perfect wedding and we are so happy for them! The pictures don't do it justice; they looked fabulous and the ceremony/reception were just perfect!


Congratulations! We love you Aaron and Sarah!




Look at that smile! Is he happy to see his Bride or what? 


The stunning couple!

The cousins (minus H.)




…A little entertainment for the boys :)

How cute! 



Congratulations (a bit late) to Mr. and Mrs. Aaron and Sarah Butler!

90210- Galveston Beach Day

Growing up one of my favorite shows was 90201. I remember when I moved to Texas and realized that it was actually possible to drive to the beach for the day...I felt like a little part of me was on 90201. (okay- just a little part :).

Last weekend we drove to the beach for the afternoon and let the boys play at the shore for the first time. They had been to the beach to get some pictures when they were babies...but that is all.

And they loved it!

And we loved it!

We will definitely be going back!!!!

(game day...sporting their Penn State Pride)
