March Pictures!

The first lawn mower rides! You can't really tell here, but Cade had the cheesiest grin on his face the whole time he was riding with Daddy!
Carson sat with me waiting on Cade to finish, and the whole time he was doing his little hands in the come here motion which is what he does when he wants to be picked up! Here he is trying to drive with Daddy!
And here he is actually driving - just something more his size!
Of course, Cade, being the bigger brother tries to teach Carson how to drive in reverse!

We finally bought a new van the end of February! Thanks so much to Nana and Papa for the old one - it has been so great this past year!

Cade and Carson playing in one of their favorite spots! These are their Bible School shirts from last summer that look like muscle shirts on them now! I love it!

And here's Daddy's new cooler for the boat! The boys can't wait to ride in the boat this summer!

Here's Cade modeling his "We are 1" shirt in the laundry basket!

We took Cade and Carson to a Japanese Steakhouse for the first time! They loved every minute of it! Here's Carson with Daddy!

And Cade with Mommy!

They were totally amazed by the chef and the fire! They loved eating the veggies and shrimp and chicken! They were also entertained by a sweet four year old blonde who kept coming over and squeezing them and stealing kisses! They giggled and giggled!

Here's family playing at Great Grandma Ree's house last Sunday!

Cade is riding Mr. Hippolo with Carson pushing!

And here's Carson riding with Cade trying to catch a ride!

Austin is practicing his T-ball swing!

Carson and Cade enjoy watching Austin outside!

Cade and Carson are outside to help Daddy grill our dinner Friday night!

And here they are playing after dinner!

And the rest of the story . . .

We played in our hotel some ...

We played more . . . I actually did take a couple of toys for them, but you know how fun Mommy's shoes are!

We found a familiar place to eat in Anaheim - we liked the GPS . . .

Here's our view of the courtyard - Disneyland is behind with Space Mountain on the very right side above the hotel.
We went to Hollywood!
And to Las Angelas - this is where they had the Chinese Mann Theatre blocked off for the Academy Awards.

And here's the beautiful Pacific Ocean! How many one year olds can say they've seen the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in the same week? We have two that can!

Here's Kevin, Cade, and Carson at the San Diego Zoo!

The twins loved all the animals - here they are looking at a Bonobo!

Mommy and Boys love to look for the animals, too!

The twins liked all the gorillas!

And we all especially loved the Panda Bears!

And here we are watching the fun Sea Lion Show...

And finally we're home where the boys know the cabinets . . .

... and stairs! They are so silly! I don't know who was more glad to be home! I'm pretty sure it was me, since I was throwing up with a virus the whole day on our travel home - oh yeah - hotel, lobby, airport, airplane, you name it! Yuck! Kevin was pretty bad sick, too, so we were pitiful trying to take care of two one year olds on a six hour flight! Thankfully, we had wonderful people flying with us! We still thank God for blessing us with nice people to travel beside and pray he will bless them! And that is why we do not plan to fly with babies ever again! Not because they were bad (we actually had tons of comments on how well behaved they were and how impressed everyone was that they didn't get fussy), but because it's too hard to take care of someone else if you can only barely handle yourself!

Where Dreams Come True . . .

Yes, that's right! We went to Disneyland last week! The boys loved the trip! Here they are in the Myrtle Beach Airport about to board the plane! We have been reading lots of airplane books and playing with their little people airplane that sings "High and Low" (you probably know it, have it, whatever) in anticipation of this trip! Here's Carson falling asleep while tickling Daddy!
And here's Cade asleep with Mommy! They slept so great on the planes! We had a layover in Atlanta just long enough for lunch at Chili's! They actually slept during the whole movie on the plane ride to Orange County, too! When they woke up they just played and entertained the people around us! We couldn't have asked for them to be better! The turbulence with landing did cause Cade to lose his lunch, but that was the least of our worries!
Here's the boys after we finally made it safely to the Anaheim Hilton! The 3 hour time difference was very hard for us all to get used to!
Here we are parking in Mickey's garage!

The entrance to Disneyland is much like that of Disneyworld - actually everything is the same but more compact here! The same amount of people feels like twice as much because it is a slightly smaller scale!

Here's the babies' view looking down Main Street, Disneyland!

And here it is . . . Sleeping Beauty's Castle!

Cade and Daddy wait to ride Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster!

Mommy and Carson did this one together! Daddy and Cade are much better shooters!

Daddy enjoys the fun trip with his boys!

There's Daddy and Cade in the car ahead of us!

And here's Mommy and Carson!

Daddy walks into Adventureland!

The boys took a nap at Indiana Jones Adventure Ride while Mommy and Daddy took turns on the ride!

Here's Mommy and the boys on Dumbo! We loved this ride!

And here's Daddy and the twins walking along with Woody!
We wanted to go ahead and share highlights from Disneyland, but will have to take time to post a snippet of the rest of our California adventure later! We don't plan to go back there again!!!!
