Disneyland 2008!

We had such a great time a Disneyland this year. We were able to do almost every ride we wanted a few times. We watched both parades. The kids loved them! I just love Disneyland. The food, the rides, and the music! It is also so fun to see the reaction of Tyler. He really believes that Mickey Mouse is real! I loved having my family here too. I have my season pass now so I will be back there often.

Tyler loved mickey ice cream!

Tyler loved being with his Grandma! Thanks Mom for all your help!

Jace enjoyed all the action to! He was such a trooper. All he needed was food and he was happy!!

Some of our large group waiting for the parade to start.

If you haven't had the Corn Dog at California Adventure...then you've missed out! They are so dang good!! Michelle talked about it all day! Ha ha!

Tyler was such a good boy. He loves Disneyland. We had really good weather, a little hot at times but that's better than rain. It was really crowed on the weekend. Monday was the best day for sure. No crowds, cooler weather, and we got Dream Fast Passes for the day, thanks to Heidi. She was in the right place at the right time!


Tyler, Tess and Sydney. These girls were angels all week! Aren't they so cute!


After our Trick of Treat night we were all so tired. Jace feel asleep in Brady's arms. So cute. Thanks Brady and Michelle for all your help all week! You guys are awesome!

Look closely at this picture - you might know more people than you think. We met up with the Myers families.



Well we dressed up for the kids! We got so hot after a while and took off our costumes. It was a lot of fun. Too many people but oh well!


Tyler loved meeting Woody and Jessie. He was all flushed in his face! He couldn't believe it!

Family comes to visit!

My mom and sisters came down to Cali to visit, and of course go to Disneyland! We still have a few more days with them here... more pics to come!

Michelle and Brady! To little love birds!

The kids had such a blast at the beach. We just let them go to town!

Oh this boy is so dang cute. He had the best time!

Halloween Disney here we come!!

Every year our family goes to Disneyland for the Halloween Trick or Treat!! I am so excited our week has finally arrived!

I love all my boys!

The Monarch's weren't able to use their Angels tickets... so they were so nice to think of us! We got to take both of our boys to the game, and sat in their awesome seats! Tyler was so excited. He really loved being at the game. He did so good. He sat nicely in his seat and intently watched the game... so so cute. I know I have a little sports fanatic! I guess I am a boy mom! I love it!

Tyler and Jace got to be on the big screen! Tyler was to shy to go by himself, So daddy got to be up there to. (sorry for the blur, I didn't get the best shot of it.) check out the video... see if you can spot the boys.

Just look at that smile! He was so excited to see the big baseball game. He did yell out "go cougars" however... His uncle Rob taught him that!

I love love love my boys!! This is one of my dreams. Taking the boys to the ball games.

These photos are random but I wanted to post. I just love when this happens.

When we went up to our in laws the boys stayed in our bed with us.(not one of my favorite nights...) But we got to bed so late, they slept in so long. I thought this was kind of a rare moment. Love it.

Happy Birthday Afton!

I will never forget the day when this beautiful girl entered the world 10/01/01! She was more then perfect. Afton Raelynn Messenger is an amazing, intelligent, inventive, darling girl! We wanted to wish a very Happy 7th Birthday! We can't wait anymore until you come!! We love you Rae!

Good ole' family fun!

This past weekend went headed up north to MoorPark to visit Billy's Brother. We stayed over a few nights and had a great time. We got are first big taste of Friday night traffic through LA. What was suppose to be a 2 hour drive took us 4 and half! oh well it was worth it! We'll just be smarter next time.

They took us and the kids to the family farm. Tyler had such a blast. He really loves feeding and learning about animals.

This is Tyler and his cousin Ella on huge pumpkins. Check out those girl shoes. We lost one of Tyler's shoes and they only had girl shoes that fit Tyler. so funny!! Tyler didn't care one bit, acually he liked them! (We found his shoe the next day!)

Happy 6th year Anniversary!

Billy and I have been married six years today!! Its amazing how time flys. We have been so blessed in all aspects of our lives. I know we were meant for each other and I couldn't be more lucky to have him in my life. I think every year gets better and better! I love you babe! I truly am grateful for all you do for me and our family! You're my "tummy nummy"!! I love you! (So our wedding photos weren't given to us on a CD and I didn't want to scan, so these ones have bad resolution.)

We celebrated yesterday! My sister in law watched our kids. We went and got massages, then headed to Newport. Billy surprised me with a Gondola ride... so fun! They had sparkling cider and some bread, cheese, and salomi. Oh and the guy in the back rowing us. he he! (They did this on the bachelor if anyone watched)

We then went to the Chart House for dinner! One of my most favorites!! Thanks babe for such a wonderful day!

Angels Game!

The Monarch's took us to another Angels game! We had such a good time. We had such great seats. Jace got put on the jumbo screen! He was so cute and fun at the game.

He had his first red vine! Such a mess but it kept him happy for a little while.

I think this is Tory Hunter. We like him for his last name. haha!

Go Angels. They actually lots this game vs the Yankees but they won the next night!

a little update of our week

Summer is coming to an end here in Cali. Still lots of sun shine though. We have been enjoying the out doors as much as possible. Lots of great walks, swimming, the beach and whatever else we can think of. I am slowly figuring out whats all around me. I have manage to find shorter route to grocery stores and shopping centers. I've also found lots of fun parks. Billy is enjoying his job, he's been busy, which make to days go fast. He also works very close to home so we get to meet up for lunch a few times a week. That is something I love and look forward to. I miss family very much. I'm anticipating their arrival in October.

We went for a walk around the Newport Beach Temple. This Temple is just across the way from our Church. It is such a beautiful Temple. Tyler's favorite he said was water fountains and Angel Moroni.

Hayden started his football season for junior high. We've been having lots of fun on Saturdays going to the games!

Our apartment complex had a end of summer luau last night. There was a full catered dinner as well as Tahitian fire dancers. Tyler had lots of fun with all the little kids.(check out the movie)

Tyler and Mommy out at the pool enjoying the In and Out Daddy brought to us for lunch.

Tyler learned to say I love you in sign language. He has been practicing really hard to get those little fingers to do what he wanted. It was so cute. He's now a pro at it.

Jace learned to stand up in his crib. This is good and bad... good cause I know he is progressing bad because he won't lay down to go to sleep!

Congrats to Michelle and Brady!

My little sister Michelle got engaged yesterday! Wahoo!! We are so excited for them!! We love Brady and can't wait until he joins the Family! Don't they make a beautiful couple!!
