Disneyland 2009


In February, I FINALLY finished my masters
! After 20 months of hard work, we decided to celebrate by going to Disneyland! The kids have gone twice now in one year! We took them last June for the summer. I have to say that I would go again for Spring Break any day over the summer. The weather was perfect, and we had a blast! Andrew's sister, Jen was able to come with us, too! Brandon also turned 1, so it that was another reason to celebrate! This was the first year Tyler was able to go on most of the rides. He really enjoyed himself and was so excited! Our family loves to go to the beach, but it's about a 4 hour drive. Tyler hates long car rides, so we told him we would fly to the beach instead! To his surprise, we were actually going to Disneyland!

Brandon turns one!

I can hardley believe it, but my little boy just turned one! We had a little get together at our home with our closest friends and family. Brandon got lots of great new things and he really enjoyed his cupcake! I think he ate almost the whole thing! He was not afraid to get in there and dig in! Children grow up way too fast! It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital! He began walking on March 9th, just 2 days after my sister's birthday. Now, he's walking all over the place.. with a few bumps and bruises on his face I might add! Sometimes, he'll walk with his hands in the air for balance!














Tyler is ALWAYS snuggling with his brother!

Family night at our school...grandma and grandpa came!

Tyler loves Brandon so very much! He is such a great helper.

Andrew's 30th birthday in Leavenworth













































































































For Andrew's 30th birthday this year, we surprised him and went to Leavenworth for the weekend. We love Leavenworth, especially when there's snow on the ground! The town is so magical! We went sledding, (I went down with Tyler on the last day and broke my tail bone!) ate lots of yummy food, and shopped, shopped, shopped! We rented a condo with Andrew's parents that was the most beautiful place we've ever been to! They are owned by the Best Western Icicle Inn. It included a free breakfast which was the greatest! They had all kinds of things there, including meat, waffles, eggs, bagels, fruit, juice, biscuits and gravy, etc!
