Mickey, Minnie and Goofy all Dressed up for Halloween!

We took the kids to Disneyland the other day, where we ran into Mickey, Minnie and Goofy!
Here are some fun pics, as Disneyland is all geared up for Halloween.

Minnie Mouse was delighted to spend time with Ella! She probably spent 5 minutes with Ella.  Instead of the help asking the guests to allow the next visitor to have a turn, the "help" was trying to remind Minnie that there were other guests in line too.  It was very fun to see!  Ella kept attacking and sucking on Minnie's nose (like a huge pacifier)! It was hilarious!

A little family shot.

Watching fireworks with Mommy!

Ella was already asleep by the time we found Mickey... Mickey still took a photo with her (see below).

Connor found Goofy's skeleton costume to be interesting.

And of course... at the end of the day, both kids fall asleep. :-)

Posting a BLOG happens when you do it, not just think about it. :)

Like most families, we've been busy and only are getting busier.  We've done a lot, and have been desiring to do a few different posts.  However, as life happens, the actual posting never did.

Well, this is a little post in an effort to catch up some.  We've had an eventful summer!  From our annual trip to Monterrey with friends, to heading over to Yosemite and then across to Utah for a family reunion, life just hasn't slowed down much.

Connor and Ella are doing great!  And getting bigger by the moment!  Ella is finally sleeping through the night regularly!  Connor loves being a little Picasso (we'll post some photos below). Ella and Connor both find themselves at Disneyland with one or both of us fairly often.  DL works wonderfully to exhaust the kids.

There are photos below of Ella's FIRST time of eating rice cereal!  Connor wanted to help.  We'll keep the post short and fun.  Even though there is so much more that we could be posting.  Hopefully, over time, we'll step back and add some additional photos from the summer.

Kickin' it at Disneyland.

"Ride the train!" Connor saw this train at the Irvine mall and ran after it calling out, "Ride the TRAIN! Ride the TRAIN!"  It was so cute... we just had to let him.

Waiting for Connor and Momma to get back from their little train ride.

You could say he is getting in the Halloween Spirit a little early! Using Jannene's MAC makeup - eyeliner.

It was on there so thick!  haha!  Yeah... getting this off his face was loads of fun!

Sleeping at the reunion.

Hi!

Ahh... real food!

Wait!  Seriously!??  I thought it'd be better than this!

It tastes better coming from BIG Brother!

See Ella! Wasn't that FUN!
