My baby is not a baby ANYMORE!!!

Today is my Conner's 3rd birthday! So sad I can't believe he is 3 already! I call him my baby and he tells me, "I not a baby, I big!" We had him his party yesterday with family and friends. He had a blast he has been waiting for this moment for months now. He wanted a Dora birthday so that is what we did. We started the party off with a monkey dance. Wow can those kids bust a move, they were hilarious! Then we tested them on their spanish. I was impressed they knew as much as they did. Then we went exploring! Right before the kids got here Swiper the Fox swiped the Pinata. Each kid got a purple Dore backpack with everything they needed to get to the Pinata. First they had to use their binoculars to find Lolly pop forest, next we had to make it to the big house and wake the sleeping Steven so he would unlock the house to get to the pinata. I think the kids had fun, I hope they did. Those kids wanted that pinata open their swings were VERY powerful!!!

Disneyland: Featuring our "Who would have thoughts?"

Disneyland

We took a trip to Disneyland this last week! We had a blast!!! This trip was a reward to all of us for the long semester of school! Covin did great in school. Shaffen got A's in all of his classes. And I completed my first block of Nursing school. One down and 3 more to go!!! I passed my class with an 87%. Not too bad!!!! Here are some pictures and things we remembered about our week!!!

So on our way home we got to thinking about some things that caught our attention!! So here it goes:

Who would have thought that:

Covin: "Mom, Disneyland is WAY better than the Fair!"

You can actually put a 2 year old in a snuggly...we didn't do it but that poor kid!!!

Out of everything that I packed I did not pack anything to remove tar from Shaffen's foot. He apparently stepped in some at the beach. Who would have thought I would need tar remover.

We were not the only people pushing over 90#s in a stroller. I actually saw a kid that was about 10 years old in one. I didn't feel so bad.

By cutting Conner's hair before we left actually made him too short to ride some rides!!!

My kids did better waiting in line for the rides than Shaffen did!

Conner is a chicken when it comes to rides. He is scared of everything. The only rides he liked were the carousel and the Caterpillar ride in California Adventure.

That trying to out smart our GPS is NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!

Who knew that a thong could actually stick 6 inches out of someones pants.

That my boys would sleep together!

When we are home I try to be so quiet not to wake them with my blow dryer. While in California I actually wanted them to wake up so I blow dried my hair and they didn't budge!!!

Shaffen is traumatized by men eating the frozen bananas on a stick....great news we did not see one man eating a banana while we were there!!!

Do you honestly think that the bus drivers really have a drivers licence???? Scary!!!

I would have never in a million years thought my boys could have handled driving that far. They did AWESOME!!! No crying, no fighting, and they did not sleep a wink there or back!!! I was so proud of them!!!

That we would have some of the best sunscreen tans ever!!!

My Conner would bust a move and did not care who was watching!!! He is a crack up!

Covin: "Mom, how did sand get in my crack?"

This was hilarious. Conner and I were waiting for Shaffen and Covin, they were on the Tower of terror. Anyways, I can't remember this characters name but I do know he is on the Incredibles. This man came towards us. Conner screamed and hid behind the stroller. I didn't care, this man kept coming towards him. Conner ducked down behind the stroller. The man insisted that he touch Conner. Conner panicked and jumped into my lap. He then told me, "I can't see his eyes mama." The man thought that was hilarious. So after quite some time I asked the worker to take our picture with him. I was dieing laughing cause Conner was still scared of him even with me holding him. Then all of the sudden Conner says, "Mama, HE BWACK (black)! Why he Bwack?" I was laughing so hard I was crying.

Who would have thought that my camera batteries would have died!!! These are taken from Shaffen's cell phone! Not too bad of pictures!

Covin thinking he is cool in his C!!!

Conner wanting to hang out in HIS O!!!

So all in all we had a GREAT trip!!! The kids did not really want to come back home. Shaffen and I were talking about future jobs at disneyland!!!
