Disneyland September 14-18 2009

Final moments in Disneyland

Picking out our prizes for Pete's Birthday

The Lines really started to show up on our last day at Disneyland

Sooooooo Tired

Tanner's Favorite ride was Splash Mountain

Jackson's favorite ride was Monsters Inc. (Which he rode 9 times in one day)

What a cute bunch of Monsters

Tanner and Daddy on another of Tanner's favorite rides. (He was laughing uncontrolably the first time he went on it).

Playing a little blue grass melody

Jackson's favorite ride was the swinging gondola on the ferris wheel

Traveling in style

Tanner got his pink teacup

Jackson was such a gentleman holding the door for the people coming off of the Snow White ride.

Hunter's enjoying the ride

Poor Tanner taking a 3 hour nap in the middle of Disneyland.

We Love the Cars

More Cars

For Pete's Birthday we hung out with Adam and Alexis. What a blast we had.

The boys found their favorite Disney Character

Tanner's 4th Birthday Party

Tanner got spoiled with 2 cakes because after making the one on the right we found the cute one on the left. So we decided that you can never have too much cake. Luckily we did because we only had a few slices left over. We also had the pink cupcakes at the bottom of the picture because pink is Tanner's favorite color.

Here the kids are devouring their cake and ice cream.

This is the most peaceful they have been all day.

Tanner and friends played musical chairs

The kids also played spin the tail on the Spidey

(which is similar to pin the tail on the donkey but way cooler)

Hunter's Birth

WELCOME BABY HUNTER (or is it cutter?)

Me minutes before the emergency C-Section

My three boys


The Proud Papa

The Story-- I went in for my weekly check-up on May 27 2009 two weeks before Hunter was due. The doctor did another ultra-sound and decided that we needed to induce. After breaking my water Hunter started to go into distress. He was coming out hand first (just like his big brother Tanner). The doctor strongly advised that, for the sake of the baby, we have an emergency C-Section. Laying strapped to a table is where I got my first look at little Hunter. He was all covered in blood, screaming over my head. I felt like I was in some sort of horror movie with killer babies. Hence the reason we decided to stick with the name Hunter.

Outings in April and May

Tanner is already driving. We took him to the mini-grande prix here in Vegas and he loved it. He's pretty good on the road.

Jackson preparing his very first animal sacrifice.

We finally met something at the bird sanctuary that talks more than Tanner.

Tanner's first swimming lessons. Pete called it "water appreciation" since there wasn't much swimming going on.
