Our October Part 1

It started out with these Beautiful Roses.  We celebrated 16 yrs of Marriage on October 3rd.

It was my year to plan our anniversary and I did a whole Hawaiian theme including a ticket for Matt and I to go to Hawaii for his B-Day. :)

Karsten and Kai at the pumpkin patch.

They loved the potato sack slide.

Petting baby pigs.

Cool Hut.

This is how tall Karsten is...

And Makai.

Heading off into the corn maze.  I always get lost in these!  Karsten only wanted to go his way.  And he kept pointing and dragging Kai in that direction.  Good think Kai is so easy going.

Picking the perfect pumpkin.

Two cute pumpkins! :)

Riding tractors..

And swings.

And ending with halloween cookies for FHE.

The Rest of our CA Trip.

The weather wasn't the best the next two days,  but we still made the best of it.  We went to Balboa Island and rode a boat.  The sun still was out and it was California so we were pretty good.

We got to check out some cool Sea Lions.

Koby trying to get warm in the sand.

Playing in the waves.  I think Matt was trying some dance moves.

The boys getting warm.

My cute skinny white boy. :)

This was the most amazing sunset.  The picture doesn't do it justice at all.

Meeting up the the Jones.

Mikaela and Skyler together.  It has been along time since we have seen the Ngo's.  We had a great time and perfect end to our trip!

Disney Land

The little boys have been dying to go to cars land so for fall break we headed to CA.  We usually don't do Disney Land, but we took a day and did Both Disney Land and California Adventure.

Riding Mater - Karsten's favorite!!

We got to meet Lightening McQueen...

I can't believe how real they made this place look.  It was AMAZING!!

And Mater....

They actually talked back.  Karsten gave him a hug.

So Perfect Big Red meets...

Little Red. :)

Waiting for the ride.

This picture speaks for itself. :)

Koby got up and danced with Phineas and Ferb.

Braving the water...

I have no clue what I am telling this lady, but I seem pretty serious about it.

Bugs,

Bugs,

Bugs,

And more bugs. :)

Splash Moutain.

Riding Dumbo.

Karsten driving with Daddy.  Of coarse he had to drive. :)

Space Mountain.  Last ride of the day for us.  Matt and I seem happy - the rest of the kids do not.  Even though they said they loved it. :)

Wreck-it Ralph - This is all Kai has talked about since the pre-views.  We will be going opening day.

Disney Land in October.

The famous street shot with Bowser's Castle behind us.  Funny story here.  This is what Kai thought until we went through.  He looked at me and said "mom this is a princes castle."  And I thought I was going to get a way with saying Bowser was locked up in one of the rooms. :)  Smart kid.

The boys loving the carousel.

In Mickey's house.  This was as good of a picture as I was going to get.  (I took like 3)

Playing the piano.

Being a dog.

Very cool washing machine.

The best part of the night was meeting Mickey and Minnie.  What a great picture.  It was a great day at Disney Land!! :)
