They Say It's Your Birthday

Maddy's 3rd birthday was last Tuesday. I can't believe my baby boy is THREE! I can't believe he's growing up this fast. Wasn't I just in the hospital like a month ago having him? Aw man, time flew by too fast! We took Maddox to Disneyland for his birthday earlier this month, but we couldnt resist getting together as a family for lunch and celebrating. Pizza and Costco cake. Is there anything better? Maddox wanted a "dragon cake". The closest thing Costco had to a dragon cake was a dinosaur. You take what you can get. Luckily, Maddox didnt argue one bit that it wasnt a dragon cake. In fact, he still called it his dragon cake. He got lots of fun things from his grandmas and grandpas and aunts, uncles and cousins. I think his favorite might have been from Aunt Kimmy. She got him lots of fun things for the pool. He LOVED his goggles and wore them for most of the day. He wouldnt take them off! He even had to take them to sushi with us when we went for dinner later that night. Maddox LOVES sushi. I love that he is my sushi baby. His favorite is the soup, because of the "cheese". He thinks the little tofu squares in the soup is cheese.... whatever kid. I sure love my Maddy-bug.

Happy Easter

Baskets, Egg Hunt, Candy Overload... yup, that pretty much sums it up!

The Best Trip EVER

This week we took Maddox to Disneyland. And when I say "we", I mean myself, Mikey, my mom and dad, my sister her husband and son, my brother, and 12 of our friends from Arizona. (21 people in all!) We had been preparing Maddox for this trip for the last 3 months. It has been non-stop Disney movie watching, and soundtracks in the car. We all purchased Disney tshirts even!

Wednesday we traveled down to LA, with our car FULL of luggage, the stroller, pillows, snacks, and somehow US. That night we met the Norton's at the hotel and hung out in the lobby for a few hours. There's nothing like being with the Nortons. It is ALWAYS fun. Never ever a dull moment! I think the funniest was when Russ popped the button on his pants and had Jani fix it, in the lobby! That night we went to eat, and we all ate WAY too much, but it was SO fun to all be together! The next morning was all things Disney.

The whole gang as we were getting to the gates.

As soon as we walked in, he couldn't stop looking around and pointing at all the fun things going on.

First thing we saw when we walked through the gates was GOOFY!

First ride of the day was the rockets. Maddox wasnt too sure of going on a ride, but he chose to go on this first one with my mom. After that he LOVED going on the rides. After EVERY ride he would say "more! again!" He had SO much fun!

Maddy giggled the entire time he drove the cars. He could hardly see over the hood, but that didnt stop him from LOVING this ride!

"The Baby Whisperer"- The entire group wanted to go on "Space Mountain", but since we had 4 little kids with us someone had to stay behind. Russ volunteered. We were only gone maybe 15 minutes, and when we returned all 4 little kiddies were asleep! What a champ Russ!

Maddox couldnt pass up an opportunity to play in a car. He LOVED toon-town. The kid went crazy!

One of our last stops was to meet Mickey. What a fun trip!
