Can't get enough Disneyland!

A couple of weeks ago when Scott had a day off we decided to go to Disneyland. Okay, well we didn't decide, I decided for us. Scott was not to thrilled. He said "Haven't we gone enough", but I had to tell him that we must go back to see Small World. I really wanted Evan to be able to ride Small World while it was decorated for Christmas and ever other time we have gone it has been way to busy. So we went just for 2 hours to ride Small World and Buzz Lightyear. We also stopped at tomorrow land to go in the moving building with the newest technology, which by the way was not exciting and will never be entered again by us. The trip was short and we accomplished what I was set out to do. Like usually, I never go without my camera and had to snap a few shots. Enjoy!

COUSINS

Here are all the Bones Grandchildren. This picture was taken in Arizona right after my sister Julie had her baby. Taking a picture of 5 little ones is definitely challenging. This was the best out of 50. My parents are so proud!

Photo Shoot

Most of you have probably received our Christmas Card and saw our family pictures. My brother-in law Shawn has always been into photography and has recently been developing his talent and passion by taking family pictures. He and his family were in town for Thanksgiving and he so generously offered to take our family photo. I knew it was going to be a rough and quick shoot with Evan, so I prepared myself to go with the flow. I just wanted to be able to get 1 family photo. Of course Evan was being difficult, but I am happy to say that Shawn was able to capture quite a few great shots. We are so thankful for Uncle Shawn and his talent and his willingness to take our pictures. Thanks Uncle Shawn!

Hannah Eating

We are still having a hard time trying to get Hannah to eat. She would rather talk, gag and spit it out. I have tried a few different combinations because she does not like the cereal plain, but I know she needs it for the iron. She did eat a little cereal with bananas the other day but still made a lot of gross faces. I know I need to just keep trying each day so that she will figure it out. The other day before I fed her she picked up one of Evan's big sourdough pretzels and sucked all the salt off. She seemed to really like it and would have probably tried to eat it if I let her. This is a quick video of Hannah attempting to eat today.

Love those Eyes and Smile

I always take a ton of pictures and can never decide how to narrow down my choices to one so here are 5 of my sweet baby girl.

6 months old!

Hannah just turned 6 months old yesterday. Where has the time gone? I can't believe my little girl is getting so big and changing so much. She already has 2 bottom teeth coming through. Hannah is learning new things all the time and I love being able to stay home and watch each new milestone that she reaches. In the last month she has learned to sit up by herself, grab and play with her feet, grab all kinds of toys which go directly to her mouth and her favorite thing is to watch her brother. They actually play together in a way and it's kinda funny. Evan loves her and always ask to hold her. He also likes to tickle her and copy the sounds she makes.Hannah is pretty ticklish these days if u get her in the right spot. She will even laugh out loud sometimes. It is so cute. There is something about a little baby's laugh that is so precious.

I wanted to wait till Hannah was 6 months old to try and feed her food. So today was the day. I decided I might as well try even though only breastfeeding for a year would be great, but I knew she was ready to eat something, or so I thought. I tried to give her cereal with breast milk and of course it was very weird to her. I tried a couple of times but she was just not having it. The funny thing is that she opened her mouth every time and tried and grabbed for the spoon but she would just spit the cereal right back out. That's alright I kinda expected it to go that way, so we will keep trying.

I just want to say that I LOVE my little girl and I couldn't imagine life without her. She is such a JOY.

Here are a few pictures of the last month.

MORE Disneyland

Since we have had season passes to the Happiest Place on Earth we try to take advantage of them. We have gone 6 times in the past 2 months. Not bad, they have already paid themselves off. These are pictures from 2 different trips recently. One with my mom and one time when we met our friends Kendra and Julie June. Disneyland is always a blast.


This trip we decided to meet our friends at California Adventure because Disneyland was sooo crowded. We started our adventure with the High School Musical parade. Evan actually loved it.

Our darling friend Julie June

Waiting for Monsters Inc. I am not sure why Ev has a weird face because he loves the movie.

Julie is very cautious about the monsters and Evan is mesmerized.

Ev actually wants to hold JJ's hand and she dosen't. WoW what a change!

Loving the fruit-by-the-foot. Poor girl was starving.



Nikka trying to make Hannah laugh.

So Serious! Nikka said Hannah is thinking "Go away, I don't like you anymore".
Oh my kids are so temperamental.

There is a BIG smile!

Evan loves climbing & I do too because it wears him out.


There was a cave that Ev stood at for about a half hour before he would enter it. He just keep creeping around the corner to see what was inside.



Ending the night at the Pixar Parade. Scott bought Ev a glow necklace like the girls.

Evan loved it and spent the whole time dancing in the street until the parade started

Hannah and Kendra

Evan finally realized that the necklace came apart and spent the rest of the night using it as a horn.


Another Trip

The Haunted Mansion changed like the Nightmare Before Christmas

I love being able to take Hannah on all the rides.

The worker guy thought he was funny and jumped into the picture.

Riding Winnie the Pooh.

Scary close-up, but thats all I can do to be in a picture with my kids.
