Reese's first trip to Disneyland and JT breaks the 40" mark and can hit the big boy rides!!!

Last week we went up to Disneyland for the day and had a great time. The weather was beautiful! This was Reese's first time there, and JT is now over 40" tall and can ride almost all of the rides in the park. JT's favorite rides were his usual Buzz Lightyear and the train (because you see Dinosaurs on it), but he also liked going on Star Tours for the first time and loved Thunder Mountain because of the T-Rex bones sticking out of the mountain (we went on it 4 times in a row). He also liked Pirates of the Caribbean now that we've read comics about it and they've added Captain Jack Sparrow to the ride. Reese did fine all day and wasn't even phased when going on Pirates and the Haunted House. All in all it was probably the best day we've had at Disneyland and I can't wait to go back now that we have our season passes. Did I mention that I had the highest score in all of Disneyland on the Buzz Ride (I'll admit that the ride did stop for a minute or so while I continued to shoot at targets and rack up points) and if you haven't been on Rockin' Space Mountain with music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and crazy lighting...I highly recommend it!!!

Vegas, Baby, Vegas

We had too much fun in Vegas not for it to have it's own blog. Below are pics from our 3 days in The Happiest Place on Earth (oh wait that's Disneyland) I mean Sin City (if you can call it that when you go with a 3 and a half year old and a less than 3 month old baby. Anyway, I highly recommend that everyone goes to Vegas to crash at Scott and Kristin's. They've got an awesome new house, with 2 guestrooms that are ready and waiting, a movie room with stadium seating and a view of the strip, a room with slots, pinball, and video games and much, much, more (yes, as you'll see below they even have a Dinosaur playground nearby...wonder who liked that)!

Happy New Year!!!

The holidays have come and gone and I figure I better put some new info and pics up here since it's been over a month...again. We had a great Christmas with both Jessica's parents and brother as well as my parents coming up to Poway. Reese and JT were given more attention than they know what to do with. JT's already enormous collection of Dinosaur stuff grew exponentially and Reese got a lot of very cute little girl clothes. JT also got a big boy bike from Santa and has been riding it all around the backyard, nearby parks, the beach, and even in Las Vegas. We ended up going to our friends Scott and Kristin's for Jessica's birthday and for UFC 66 Chuck vs. Tito!!! Jessica, JT, and Reese attended their first UFC weigh-ins with me and Scott, Fern, Dusty and I made it to the event to see Chuck KO Tito in the 3RD round. All in all we all had a very happy holidays and are excited about 2007. I'm expecting this to be the year that I finally get the call from Survivor ;) yes I just sent in my video for Survivor 15. Is it just me or do we really need our favorite TV shows to start back up again? Congrats to LT on his MVP award and T Gwynn on getting inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame. GO CHARGERS!!!!!
