This is Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody! Hope everyone has a great day! I'll start off with the song that C played all day. It definitely put me in the Halloween mood.


The celebration started the night before when little C carved his pumpkin. He had lots of fun getting it together and as you can see. His sister was there to help him along.

and the end results:

Attack of the GIANT PUMPKIN!

This year Little C wanted to be something scary. So he went with being Jason From Friday the 13th. Pretty Scary huh?
Our princess was a butterfly. She had tons of fun with it and still wanted to wear her costume the next day.


We went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood and we collected tons of candy (that is now hidden of course) and the kids had tons of fun. Chris had it down in a matter of minutes....Walking up to houses, ringing the doorbell, saying "Trick or Treat!" in her cutest voice, helping herself to a HAND FULL OR TWO of candy, and saying..."Thank you! Happy Halloween" She proceeded to do this in all the houses we went.

It started off with C accompanying them to the door..


Then they wanted to do it all on their own....

They both had a great night and in the end we were left with two happy kids and two tired parents. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Visiting The Pumpkin Patch!!!

Today was a great Sunday. C had the day off! Which is unusual for our family because he works on weekends. We decided to make the best of it and take the kidos to the pumpkin patch and pick out some pumpkins for Halloween. We loaded up the kids in the truck and drove to Uesugi Farms in Morgan Hill for an evening picking out pumpkins. I'm leaning toward making it a yearly tradition and I think C agrees with me on that one.

A great time was had by everyone. The kidos both choose their pumpkins and Christina tried to carry all of them! I cant wait to return next year :)

Disneyland Pt. 1

I have not posted in our blog in such a long long time. So many changes have happened in our lives. This is my attempt at trying to catch up a bit.

I had never been to Disneyland so when my company announced that our yearly department trip would be to Disneyland I was beyond thrilled. I waited all summer and not to mention my entire life to visit disneyland. It was such a blast!

We departed for our trip early in the morning. At 5:00 a.m!!!! I could barely keep my eyes opened!
When we finally reached our destination I couldn't wait to get out and get in to the parks. We were there for two days and were both at Disneyland and California Adventures.

Can you tell I was excited? :P

Since it was October all of Disneyland was decorated for Halloween. They had a huge pumpkin and fall colors. It was really amazing. I had waited 29 years to visit this place and suddenly here I was...The Happiest Place on EARTH!!! I was in awe :)

I was told by a few acquaintances that I had to get my "First Time" visitor button and it was the first thing I did.


I rode Spacemoutain, The Indiana Jones Ride, and went on The Haunted Mansion ride. Since it was a Halloween theme The Haunted Mansion was decorated all in The Night before Christmas. At one point while inside the ride, I even smelled gingerbread. It was pretty freaking cool if you ask me :)

I took a picture in front of the castle and The Matahorn ride. My co worker and I also took some time to ride the teacups. Something I had wanted to do for a very very long time.

We went on many many other rides and lets just say that when we got back to our hotel room for the night I was exhausted! I had a blast though :)

The next morning we got up bright and early for breakfast and then headed over to California Adventures which is directly across from Disneyland.

I visited the Golden Gate bridge and found some really cool candy corn ;)

The views were beautiful and I even touched Mickey's ear :P

After California Adventures we had dinner at at the Yamabuki restaurant at the Paradise Pier Hotel. We ate in the Tatami Room which looks like you dine while seated on the floor but there is actually a space under the table where your feet dangle. It gave it a very traditional atmosphere and it helps that the food and drinks were delicious :)

Overall it was an awesome trip and I cannot wait to go back in April with my hubby and our kidos. :)
