Busy Week

This was a busy week for us.

We started last weekend off on Saturday with DJ's karate promotion. Our little 3 year old received his YELLOW BELT!!!! He was so proud as were his daddy and I!

Then came DJ's 4th birthday party. DJ had a great time with his friends, cousins and classmates. He is already planning his 5th birthday party!

That night, we drove to Anaheim to spend the night with my brother-in-law and family. The next morning, we headed straight for DISNEYLAND!!! This was Cody's first time there so we, of course, had to christen him with his first set of Mickey Ears!!!

Although this was DJ's 3rd time there, he saw Disneyland with new eyes this visit. He was tall enough to ride all the roller coasters - including Space Mountain! That boy has NO FEAR! Below is a picture of him with Uncle Robert on Space Mountain.

The next day, we went to California Adventure. That was more Cody's speed since they had Bug's Life. He spent most of the time napping and missed out on rides, though. They each also got a new pair of ears since DJ said "it's a new park. That means new ears". DJ had cool ears that lit up.

Later in the week, the in-laws came over and the boys had a blast with them. DJ found new video game partners so he was on cloud 9! We spent a couple of days poolside and Cody went swimming for the first time. He loved it. Like his dad and brother, he is a water baby, so he had a blast.

He was mad when he had to get out of the pool!

DJ, of course, was practicing his jumping in the pool. Here is a cool picture of him mid-air!
