California September 2012

 Just returned from a wonderful vacation to sunny California!
We went with my family...my parents and siblings and all their cute kiddos..minus Brian :(
We had so much fun:)
 Tyson was fabulous on the plane...suckers and ipads ;)
 We enjoyed a beautiful day at Newport Beach with Grandma and Grandpa, Matt, Jenica, Jackson, and sweet McCall.  The kids caught sandcrabs and body surfed in the ocean.


 BEAUTIFUL!!
 Then we made it to Disney and experienced Carsland!  We all give it two thumbs up!!
We spent four days hoppin between the parks, it was very hot!  We enjoyed the AC in some of the rides and rode them many times to cool off.

 Some of the crew :)
Grandma and Bridger with Austin and Parker and me
 The tractor ride was a favorite for the little ones, rode it over and over.....
 and rode the awesome cars ride over and over :)
 My brother Matt and my cute nephew Jackson
 Tyson couldn't figure this one out, hahaha!  He was really frustrated that it wouldn't budge.
 Toon Town
 Toy Story Mania
 Parade
 We love Buzz and try and out do each others score, we rode this one the most...soo much fun!
 Dumbo
 My favorite...Small World
 Tyson really wanted to ride by himself.  He thinks he is big and should have been able to ride Splash Mountain, even though he didn't really like the hill on Pirates.

 Jungle Cruise
Ryan took the three older boys to an Angels MLB game and took them surfing to Laguna Beach.  They had so much fun, I will post those pics later

Summer

 We have been having a very eventful summer so far.  Austin finished up soccer and baseball.  Austin played shortstop this year.  He tried out for comp soccer and made it!  His team is fabulous and looking forward to a busy year!
 Austin loves to help me bake..he is making chocolate cakes for Grandma on Mothers Day here.
 Parker has been doing very well in baseball, he plays first base.  He tried out for the All-Star team and made it!  So here we go for 6 more weeks of baseball.  His coach is awesome and Parker is loving it!!!
 Parker and Austin had wonderful teachers this past year and we will miss them!
Austin got on the honor roll.  Parker and Austin both received citizenship awards as well!
 Tyson was a great sport being trekked around from game to game each night.  I took him for special treats every so often and had some time with him.  He is such a clown!  We love him!
 Blake just celebrated his 13th Birthday!!! (GASP)  He also tried out and made an All-Star Baseball team(2nd year to do so).  He is an amazing shortstop!  He finished at the top of his class in Junior High and is doing great!  He will be finishing Basketball Camp this week and will start preparing for football once baseball is through.
We stay very busy and love seeing our boys grow!  I think they are amazing and love watching them succeed in life. Ryan and I will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in September (FEELS LIKE 50 hahaha).
Here's to a wonderful summer!

 We have had our share of games this past year.  We had the three older boys in basketball, baseball, and soccer.  We have been averaging 12 games a week and several practices in between!
 I really enjoy watching them play.  This is a life of a mother of boys!!


Now I am off to get some errands done before a round of games tonight!!
