Road Trip

Call us crazy but we drove to California. 16 hours in the car was a little on the long side but so worth it in the end. There really is nothing like seeing a Three year old faces as he enters Disneyland for the first time. We had such a great time. We stayed at my dad and Erins place and even got to spend some time with the Bell family who we really miss. The weather was amazing. It would have felt warm if it was above 35 to us though. Our kids deserve gold medals for being such great little travelers. I was beyond impressed with how good they traveled. Were actually planning the next road trip already! We are crazy...

The Carson's go Road Trippin
Jaxon and xavier attepting to pet a few friendly stingrays

These were the prettiest birds I'd ever seen. I still think about bird Flu everytime I see them though!

It was so fun to get to see Melissa and her new life in California

Here's us wishing we lived somewhere a little warmer with a little better shopping. oh, wait that might just be me.

How cute is this little pirate??????

We had a great day at the Long Beach Aquarium. The kids got to pet sting ray's, check out the shark tanks, and look at some of the craziest looking marine life. One part of the day I'd like to forget is when Jaxon went up to a little girl about his age and said, "Excuse me, are you chinese?"

Ross and I even managed to get a little freedom one night. We went to the Icehouse in Pasadena and saw the funniest comedian named Craig Shoemaker. He is a must see! hillarious

We had a "HotTub" party at my dads

We were celebrating meeting up with....

Our best old pals, The Bell's

Don't you wish we all looked this cute in our suits?

Ivy and her Grandpa dan

Melissa and her boys are inside pro's on everything Disney. They got season passes when they moved to California. Jaxon was convinced the Xavier lived at Disneyland until we went to they're new place.

Disneyland just would'nt be the same without Goofy

Ross was just like a little kid there!

If you ask Jaxon this was the best part about Disneyland

Who knew painting his face like a pirate

would be the highlight of his whole trip?

Our life

See you soon buddy!

He really does think he's a pirate. We've spent many hours making pirate maps and hiding treasure boxes around our house. The treasure boxes are empty cans of formula with many exciting treasures inside such as old keys, lotion bottles, stickers and my personal favorite, empty spice containers. Good thing this pirate doesn't have expensive taste. If you tell him it's a rare treasure he'll just take your word for it.

I'm dying to put her hair in pig tails. I have a feeling it won't be much longer

This jumperoo is both me and Ivy's new best friend

This is my little chunk at 5 months

This is an awesome family picture taken by a 7 year old photographer named Dallin. I heard he is accepting new clients by the way. Any takers?

Jaxon pretty much worships his cousin Dallin. He sometimes makes me call him DAL!
