California Trip

Sometimes being a military family has it's benefits. Like when Disneyland offers amazing discount passes. We decided to go to Disneyland with my Mom and Dad, and (most importantly to Miles and Isaac) Aunt Havala! We spent Wednesday afternoon in a beach house and just splashed in the waves, built a sand castle, searched out crabs and starfish, and lay in the sun. Cold waves, warm sun, any chance everyone I love will move with me to Southern California???
We woke-up early the next morning and headed to Disneyland. I know that I am just a big kid but I still think that what Walt Disney built is the happiest place on earth. Highlights of this trip were. For Isaac meeting "mouse" and having a magical moment. He even cried when it was all over. He also loved getting a drivers license and putting around autopia. Miles was thrilled to meet Tink (three times). He really loves Tinkerbell!!!! He also got to ride splash mountain and says it is his favorite although he doesn't want to ride it again "until I pass the age of six." He also was chosen to train with a Jedi master and fight Darth Vader. He was in heaven. His expression in the photos doesn't really capture his excitement; he has been signing the theme song and totting his "light saver" with him ever since. Michael and I got to spend a little more time this trip together because we had six extra hands. Thanks Mom Dad and Havala. I will treasure these vacation memories we made together for a long time to come.

Happy birthday Kicker!! II

Last night we went to Disney on Ice with Grandma and Grandpa here are pictures of the birthday party we had for Isaac before we went to Disney on Ice.

Happy Birthday Kicker!!

Isaac is two! We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is a happy boy. He is developing a sense of humor, it is very sweet. He loves to be cuddled and held. He loves his big brother and wants to do everything his big brother does. We love Isaac and are thrilled we get to see him grow.

I think the list moved again. I will call AAC to be sure that we got to move also but WAHOOOOO. Three girl referrals in two weeks holy cow!!!!

Training Chopsticks

I bought these great training chopsticks for my boys about six months ago. Miles is now very adept at using them and somedays even wants to use them with his everyday food. Isaac does pretty well if I put his fingers in the correct places. I think they are a great product. They are made in Korea and I just found them at my local market. You can get them online also. I found them for $5 here http://www.kidslandusa.com/category/feeding/solid-feeding/accessories/edison-chopsticks-blue.php

A Little Dress

So I have been working on this project for my blog, and I think I am finally ready to share with everyone. For the last month or so I have been trying to come up with a way that I can help make money for the adoption. I have decided to make handmade baby and toddler items to sell. I have contemplated selling them both on a blog or on etsy; and haven't really decided on an avenue yet. Any advice out there would be appreciated. I wanted to share one of the first items I created for this little adventure. I also made little hair clips to go with this outfit. So what do you think?

Moving up on the list.

Well there have been rumors and rumblings of a move on the list. I have been trying to hold off calling AAC so as not to be "that family that calls all the time." A blog friend of mine posted that the list might even be moving two spots. Today I couldn't wait anymore I called and sure enough we are now #22. Two spots in one week! We are so excited.
