Bobby and Jackie's Wedding

So the whole reason to go to California was to see Bobby and Jackie get married. It was such a nice day.

We tried to get a family shot but as you can see only Jaden and I were cooperating.

Kayda decided she could smile but Kolby was done.

When we tried to take a cousin picture Kolby was really done.

But Kayda decided she could take a good picture.

After the wedding we went to go play at the pier before the reception.

All Kolby wanted to do at the reception was to eat everything-literally. While I wasn't looking he decided to have some baby's breath.

But that wasn't enough, he had to pull a Mrs. Hanigan move.

Kayda on the other hand had been wanting to dance ever since that is one of the things Jaden said you do at a reception. At first no boys would dance with her until uncle Bryan danced with her (which made her so excited)

But then they started lining up.

And then they all wanted to cut it, even Kolby.

What a fun day and night. Congrats to Bobby and Jackie!

Disneyland

I am way behind so expect a bunch of random posts after Thanksgiving. A little over a week ago Jaden's nephew got married in the LA. We figured if we were going to LA we might as well hit Disneyland.


Going on our first ride of the day:

(Kayda always had to be carrying a map)

Jaden's brother Bryan and his family decided to come spur of the moment. I think Kayda and Kolby loved having their cousins around.

The only thing Kayda asked for was a pair of mickey ears and was so excited to wear them.

The first day we ate at the all-you-can eat BBQ. Kayda even ate more ribs than me! She even got on stage to perform after the meal.

Luckily Kayda got to ride on most of the rides. She loved to stand by the sign and see that she was big enough. The only ride she didn't like was the Tower of Terror which she remarked after riding it,"Mom, don't ever bring me to Disneyland again!" Let's see how long that lasts.

Kolby did so good to just go along and do whatever. He was trying to entertain us while we were in line for Aladdin.

And of course Kayda got to meet some of the Princesses.

Kayda and Aiden

Don't they look related?

Kayda really wanted to take some pictures of us in line so we let her to keep her and us entertained.

Nearing the end of our adventure.

Halloween

Kayda loves all sorts of stories. For awhile one of her favorites was Hansel and Gretel because of the "scary witch". Actually she would ask if I would read her "Handsome and Ghetto" which I thought was quite appropriate since I frequently refer to Jaden as handsome and of myself, ghetto.

I thought the story would be a great inspiration for Halloween costumes.

Well unlike the story, this Hansel and Gretel went looking for food instead of leaving some behind.

They didn't try to find their way home either. In fact, Hansel tried to run away.

This woodcutter dad wouldn't have sent them away and nor would this witch try to eat them.

And I bet they didn't get to sleep on their way home in car seats either.

I guess we weren't much like the story but we had a fun Halloween!

Hope you did too.

My Boys???

As I am getting stuff together Sunday morning I look at the couch and what do I see?

Jaden hemming his pants in an apron(because he was cooking lunch) and Kolby putting on Kayda's lip gloss. I had to laugh at their lack of masculinity at that moment.

But to make up for it I took a picture of their handsomeness in their ties.

(Very Beefy!)

Princess Parties

Gracious it is October already and no posts yet! SO I am starting with Princess Party no. 1. Kayda was invited to go to dress up like a princess and have a princess party with all of her dance friends. Thanks to hand-me downs (twice) Kayda had a princess gown to wear.

Some things a princess might do:

Gawk at chickens

Play on swing sets

and make gorgeous poses.

What a prince might do:

Gawk at chickens

and crash princess "tea" parties.

One of Belle's "best friends" Snow White (aka Kayda and Chloe)

Princess party no. 2. So my oldest niece, Cherise, had her 18th birthday!! All of us aunts in AZ (and Cami)got to share this momentous day with her. (Which remembering the day she was born make me feel old!)

I feel truly blessed to be associated with all of the princesses in my life!

It's Official

Kit's Kloset is now open! Yes, I only have one thing listed but keep your eyes open, there will be more to come.

The Circus

The circus came to town. I have always wanted to go to the circus. A small town circus is not what I had imagined the circus to be. Yes, there were the jugglers, a clown, acrobats, bike tricks, lions, tigers and elephants. How could all those exciting things be so lame?? To illustrate how bad it was just imagine the final number of all the performers doing the choreography and singing along to the High School Musical song "We're all in this together." Need I say more?

Kayda figured the show needed to be livened up so she started to do her own little performance.

To spice things up just a little I let Kayda ride the elephant and get some cotton candy.

At least I found my rainbow's end after the show.

Then again, maybe not. I got home and found a piece of gum stuck on the bottom of my shoe.
