Disneyland 2012

We gave the boys a trip to Disneyland for Christmas this year and we decided it would be best to go sometime other than summer and march break, the only times we had previously gone. January is Disneyland's lowest attended month so although we knew we were taking a risk with the weather (and yes it did rain for ALL of the morning one of the days we were there) it was SO nice to not have to manage the crowds. The longest we waited for any ride was 15 minutes and most of the rides we pretty much just walked on with no wait time at all. Here are a few pics...

They didn't do their typical Jedi Training Academy show because attendance was so low but the boys did get a special meet and greet with the gang.

This was taken the morning it rained. We braved it with our rain jackets and ponchos. It was still fun but I think the boys wondered what we were doing running around in the rain. Neither of them were a huge fan of being wet and cold and well, I can't really blame them.
Handsome dudes.





Doing his sad face. He did remind us on this trip with several tantrums that he is still only 2 years old.
He managed to put on his happy face when he saw his favorite Disney characters- Lighting McQueen and Mater.

We're MOVING...down the street:)

So I do have some excuse for my pathetic attempt lately to keep the blog updated. We are moving...in three weeks to be exact. No, no, not out of town just about two miles (if that) from where we are now. Into a house that will hold our rapidly growing family and NO I AM NOT PREGNANT for those of you will read those words "growing family" and make that assumption. We made the very best of our wonderful little 1500 square foot house and it has been very good to us. BUT it's time to move on. And we couldn't be more in love with our new house. As long as everything closes the way it should we will take possession on February 16th! Here are a few pics:

Three Brothers

I totally forget to post this in our Christmas section. Marsha snapped this one on Christmas Eve while we were out doing the show. SO CUTE!! I will cherish this one forever. FYI- Crosby is wearing Michael's PJ's from his first Christmas!

Crosby Update

Well, I suppose you can tell he's our third. I look back at our posts when we just had Oliver and every single thing he did that was even remotely interesting or exciting (or not as the case may be) I posted. Poor littlest man doesn't get quite the same level of attention. Good news is, we love him just as much as the other two:) So here is a long overdue Crosby update:

At 6 month old he weighed 18 lbs. (60 percentile)

Now at almost 8 months he has nearly six teeth. Two on the bottom (those ones came in first right around 6 months) and there has been a steady of teeth ever since. He will have four on the top once the last one pushes through sometime in the next day or so (hopefully, fingers crossed)

He is crawling (started right around 7 months old)

He is sitting up all by himself (somewhere between 6 and 7 months)

He can now army crawl, sit up, then crawl some more

Likes to try and pick up puffs or cheerios on his own and is getting better mastery over his cute chubby little fingers

LOVES to clap his hands. Especially when his brothers or anyone is singing to him

Can babble with the best of them. Has the da da sound as well as bubba and ma ma. Not sure if he is calling us by name yet but pretty soon.

He is FREAKISHLY strong. Seriously. He knows he has two older brothers and he will be ready to take the both on before we know it

Other than that he gets cuter EVERY DAY!!!

Always watching his brothers...

Don't you want to squeeze those cheeks?
