Gearing up for Disneyland...Disney Family Night

We're going to Disneyland!

About a week before our Disneyland trip, I thought it might be fun to have a family night Disney planning night! I printed out coloring sheets for the "littles", and then made Mickey packing sheets for the older boys.

For dinner, we had Mickey chicken nuggets (thanks Jacinda!).
And of course Mickey cupcakes for dessert!

YUM!!!

The Plunge

Dawson started his swimming lessons at Jamie's School of Fish. We love Jamie, and the boys have taken lessons there for years.

Teacher Andrea is GREAT with Dawson!!
Dawson tried to lay on the tears, and the charm...but she stands her ground!
By lesson 2, he cried half way...and then decided...she's not giving in,
so I'd better just do what she says.
He's holding his breath, monkey walking, and kicking with less than an hours lesson!

Good Job Fishy!!

Party in the Jungle!

We had Ethan's Birthday at Jax Junglehouse this year! It was super fun! (And totally easy for me!) The highlight for me was watching Ethan open his gifts...and after opening them...saying..."AWESOME!!!" Needless to say he loved them all! Thanks to all who made his day so special!!

The Cake...

Ethan's cake was the hit of the party! Had to blog about the cake itself! Stacy Mueller...Whimsy Cakes...(www.whimsycakes.blogspot.com) are amazing! This is the 3rd cake I have had her do for me...and she always seems to out do herself!

The detail to sooooo cool! We almost hated to eat it!

Yes...the leopard it fondant, as well as the letters!

Perfect Jungle Cake...with Popsicle flavor cake!!

Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

So hard to believe, our little man Ethan is six! Ethan entered the world on May 3rd at 4:44 a.m. He was 9 lbs. 8 oz, and 22 1/4" long. We just love this boy...and so does everyone who meets him! He is a joy to be around, and will always keep you laughing...we never know what will come out of that boy's mouth!! Ethan means "firm", and he has held true to his name. We love you!!
