Cookies!

The kids had fun decorating their cookies at Keegan's quasi-birthday party last weekend.

The Haunted Aquarium

The kids got all dressed up-- yes, Mommy too-- and we headed to La Jolla to experience the "Haunted Aquarium" at Scripps Birch Aquarium. Jack, Rose, Keegan, and Tustin had a lot of fun trick-or-treating, investigating, and having fun playing games- as well as seeing all the fish and other cool animals.

Aquarium

We saw a beautiful sunset, followed by beautiful evening sky. Really cool animals, some that the kids could touch. Games. Tattoos. Trick-or-treating throughout the aquarium. Good times!

Aquarium Fun

The boys met up with their life-long buddy, Spencer (the son of Mommy's high-school friend, Shelley). Great costume, Spencer! They all had a blast playing and investigating at the Haunted Aquarium.

Keegan's Birthday Celebration, part.. 10?

Seems we've had a month of celebration around here! Disneyland, party at his school, cookie baking, etc... We all got together for a nice home-cooked (BBQ'd) meal at Nana & Papa's on the 24th, Keeg's 6th birthday. I tried my luck and baked a Ben 10 cake (um, it's a Ben 10 watch, if you can't tell, with an alien on top!) The cousins had more fun playing together.

Keegan's Party

The cake may not have been "professionally" made, but I think we all enjoyed it just the same!

Take A Guess...

Which Halloween gingerbread house do thing the boys and I created? Which gingerbread house do you think is the one on the cover of the box? Go on, take a guess!

Okay, We'll Show You Which is Which

Yes, you guessed it, the one that's a little more "homey" is ours! :-) Another Halloween tradition checked off the list. The kids love doing this every year. What's that? Why do the kids never have clothes on in our home pictures? Oh, that's because the minute they get home from anywhere, they strip down to their chonies! I don't get it. They haven't worn PJ's to bed in about 3 years, neither of them. So, the minute they wake up in the morning, they are in their chonies... until they HAVE to get dressed to go somewhere! But hey, they are comfortable, right?! :-)

Buzz Lightyear

These are pictures from the Buzz ride. You can use a screen to have them emailed to you when you get off the ride! Pretty cool (but very small and a little hard to see).

Red Rockets

The Rockets won their 3rd of 4 games this morning! And it was picture day. So, I snuck in a few photos over the shoulder of the photographer-- shame on me! But, they turned out so cute! :-)

The Happiest Place on Earth!

DISNEYLAND!! Keegan is on a two-week break from school (yes, already!) so we decided to take him on a little birthday trip to Disneyland. Nonny came with us, and the five of us had a blast! The park was open from 8am to 6pm that day, and we walked through the gate at about 7:59am, and walked out the gate at about 5:59pm!! Yes, we spent 10 hours walking around. The boys were pooped and a bit crabby (as were we all) by the end of the day, but they walked every bit of that 10 hours and really did great. We had a blast!

River Raft over to Tom Sawyer's Island

We boarded the little raft and headed to cruise around on Tom Sawyer's Island. The boys had so much fun climbing, investigating caves, playing on the playground, and jumping on monkey and barrel bridges! It was great. We must have spent a good 45-60 minutes over there!
