More Allie fun

 We just had to take Allie to our favorite Pumpkin Patch, even though Mabel and I had already been there.

 Allie was a good sport and let us drag her around to all our going ons, like ward potlucks, family pictures, and even went to a movie with me and a bunch of old ladies :)

 looking way to old.

We miss you already Aunt Allie!  Come back!

Lucy and Spencer...and Allie

 Aunt Allie came to visit for the birthdays, so fun!  We had to go to Chick-Fil-A, the poor girl doesn't have it in Vegas.

 Pretty girls, Allie owes her big blue eyes in part to her Aunt Allie.

 Since she shares a birthday with her dad, she had to eat his birthday meal too.  Grilled Cheese and Tomato soup, his request, I promise.

 We're big into My LIttle Ponies these days.

 Spencer got some exciting presents too, like work gloves and sixlets.  What a handsome guy.

 The Birthday Buddies,

 New scooter from Grammy and Gramps and new coat made by Grandma Toolson, so adorable.  Lucy is a scooter riding fool.  It's saved us from the fights over Mabels.

 Spencer picks his cake flavor, Cherry Chip, and Lucy gets the design.  I hope you are all keeping track of my awesome cakes I make year after year.  This one kept right up to my ghetto fabulous cake standards.

 So old.  Our big 2 year old is looking older and older everyday and talking up a storm.  This is the first time my baby has turned 2 without having another baby in my arms.  Crazy.  (and no, this is not an announcement).

 So cool.

Lucy also loves her baby dolls.  We love our little Lucy and our Spencer.  

Preschool haps

 Mabel has been talking all summer about going to preschool to the "blue class", 

 And she finally got to go!  She missed the first week while we were at Disneyland, so here is her first day.  She loves it, I love it, it's great.  She has 2 of her little church friends in her class and went all the time when I would help in the class with Andrew, so she is an old pro. 

 Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Fishing

 The boys got to go fishing a couple times this summer.

 Andrew with his big catch!  (They threw it back in).

Disneyland Day 2

 Classic shot, our last day!

 We found the characters right away, they were all on main street before the park officially opened.

 Space Mountain!!  THe kids rode this ride 4 times.  It doesn't show in the picture, but they really like it.

 The park was REALLY dead Friday morning, it was awesome.  

 We had rode almost all the rides Tues. so we rode a lot of our favorites again on Friday, and again :)  Buzz Lightyear- 6 times, Star Tours- 4.  We even watched Captain EO.  Just as good as I remembered it as a kid!

 I took the girls to the Fantasy Princess Faire and to Pixie Hollow while the boys rode some rides.  WE had to wait longer then almost any ride, but it was worth it, so cute.  The princess are really in character and so sweet to the kids.

 We went and saw Mickey again in his house in Toon Town.

We had such a great week, I'm ready to go again!

California Adventure

 On our 2nd day we went to California Adventures.  The park was almost empty....

 because everyone was in the new Cars Land.  It was crazy!

 It looks just like Radiator Springs.

 I have to say that Luigi's Tires ride was not my favorite.  (Lucy threw her biggest meltdown of the vacation while we were in line...also our longest wait of the week, 50 minutes!)

 Radiator Racers was so fun though, it's behind the girls.

 Ryan was the only one tall enough to go on California Screamin' and he loved it.

 I took the kids on Tower of Terror and they did NOT like it.  Only time they got freaked out all week.

We're starting to get tired....Disneyland is exhausting!
