We Moved

Actually we moved way back at the end of March, but hey, better late than never for an update and some pictures.

We just moved over a city into Meridian, Idaho. We love it here. Love the the neighborhood, the house, the location, it is a awesome! It is bigger than our old house, which has it's perks. We have a spare room with a queen size bed just waiting to be used by visitors (no more air mattress in the office;) ). So, come and stay with us anytime people! Just know that there is always an open invitation for you to come stay with us :)

Brandon

Brandon kind of likes having his picture taken. So it makes it easy on me, the cruddy photographer, to get some cute shots. Bridger on the the other hand does not like having his picture taken. If I posted the pictures I have of Bridger they would all be blurry or of him hiding his face, or at most a big grin with his eyes closed.

Hope you enjoy pictures of Brandon as much as I do. I just love to kiss that sweet little face everyday!

Oven made S'mores

Where is Duncan?

In his new favorite spot, underneath the Christmas Tree. Don't worry, he won't bite Santa's hand.

Gingerbread House

One of our traditions has been to make a gingerbread house every year. I love to make them the kids like to eat them. Win win. Except this year I made some mighty strong icing! So, haha, jokes on them :)

Disneyland

While we were in California we went to Disneyland. I love that place. It is still a magical place.

I didn't really take any great pictures, so I guess I'm over compensating by stuffing this post with just about all of the pictures I took. I need to take a photography class or something, and maybe get a little patience :)

This is one of the few rides that Bridger loved. We made the huge mistake of just taking Bridger on Space Mountain with us on our very first ride at Disneyland. He didn't cry, but he left the ride wide eyed and stunned. I forgot how fast that ride is. After that, Bridger was afraid to go on almost any ride. :( He still wants to go back to Disneyland though, so no permanent damage done.

We watched the Disney Christmas parade, it was really fun, I don't think I've ever sat through a Disneyland parade before, but it was fun and the kids loved seeing all of the Characters and Santa.

Disneyland has the 1980's Captain E O playing rite now in 3D. It was fun and nostalgic for me. The kids really liked it too, both we're dancing when we left the theater :)

While I was looking online for a Disneyland picture, I saw some older pictures, that reminded me a little of when we used to go as a kid. Remember the Skyway?

Thanks to Bryan we got to ride on everything, we barely noticed that it was a super busy day (the day after Thanksgiving). I don't think we stood in line for more than 15 minutes for anything. It was such a perfect day at Disneyland.

Thanksgiving

I loved Thanksgiving this year!!! My favorite place to be on Thanksgiving is at my Grandma's house. It is just perfect! I love my Grandma and I always really miss her on Thanksgiving day, but this year was awesome, because we all got together at her house just like we used to do when we were little.

We ate the best Thanksgiving foods, we spent time all together (something that hasn't happened in years!), and listened to Grandpa Bob's history :). Tons of fun! We love Grandpa Bob, but man we had a good laugh when he whipped out a jumbo, double sided board (like 4' x 5') covered in pictures that spanned his entire life. He just had his 90th birthday, so I guess he deserves a break, but Grandma really let him have it when he took it out, he just ignored her and went right on telling us about everything that ever happened.

Mom, Kristen, & Todd

Another great thing about this day, was that we got to meet Todd's girlfriend, Kristen. She is way rad and it was great to finally meet her.
