Fall break

Taylor and the boys had a week off from school last week and we lived it up BIG TIME! I don't think we could of squeezed in one more thing. The first part of the week we met my family in Disneyland, then the day after we got back our very dear friends from Utah the Hafens came for a visit. It was so fun having them here. Chase and Talan also had their first T-ball game last week. It worked out that this year since Talan's birthday is the end of August and Chase not until November that they get to be on the same team. So fun for them to be together. I remember when I was deciding if I wanted to get pregnant while Chase was still so young, the idea of my boys being on the same sport teams growing up really was a selling point for me. Isn't it funny the things us moms think about.
All Talan kept saying about Disneyland was that he wanted to see Mickey's house. I didn't even know that he really knew who Mickey was. What a treat that at the end of the tour of his house we actually got to meet the man himself. Another family picture. Cort keeps asking can we ever have enough family pictures?? I'm sure you can guess what my answer to that question would be. I am so in love with my family.

face painting fun

Cousins getting ready to go on Soarin Over California. These two couldn't have been more excited to finally be together again.

Haunted Mansion one of my favorite rides.

The Monsters Inc. ride proved to be a little too intense for Talan this time around. Have I ever mentioned how much I love this kid!

We tried to make every moment count with the Hafens here. We went swimming a couple of times, hit up the visitor center at the temple, had a Halloween party, we were busy bees. It was a lot of fun. Thanks again to them for coming.
Friends forever. 1st sleepover together. I think? These two have known each other since birth. When they were babies they had their very own language. They have a very special bond.

Halloween fun. Bobbing for apples.

Swimming. The 3 musketeers

Could these pictures be any cuter of my sweet boys? Last week at their game Talan was running to home base the same time as the other team was. Well, Talan held his ground when those ten other boys all came running to the base he was standing on. Talan just stood there fighting for his spot on "his" base.


I absolutely LOOOOVE this picture. There's just something about it. I just had to include it. I think I'll frame it and put it in their room.

Last night was our Sunday night movie. Tay and I were the only ones who made it through the movie. I couldn't help myself I had to snap a picture of Cort and Talan fast asleep together.
