Disclaimer: I have made this blog for the intent to show loved ones what we've been up to lately. I also want to one day print it out and have it as a journal for the kids. I am not doing this to brag at all. I just thought this is a great way for you all to see what life's been like for us and what we've been doing. I love to see other people's blogs and see their pictures and see what they've been up to. That's all I'm doing here. Thank you!

cont. of Disneyland vacation

 Halloween time at Disneyland is amazing...have I said that already. Well, it's true!!
 Chip and Dale
 Donald Duck
 On this day we took full advantage of taking pictures all around the park. Here we are on Main Street.
 Inside the Haunted Mansion
 This is my boys favorite movie now. They watch it almost every day....or would if they could.
 Mine...mine...mine
 Iron Man Hall of Armor
 This was so fun for the boys to see. They have seen the movie so to see the actual suits he wore, it was fun for them. Then they each had the opportunity to be suited up themselves by standing on a mat and on tv they could be suited up and actually fly and hit targets as Iron Man. They loved it!!!
 We took a break from the parks on Friday and headed to Hollywood. We wanted the boys to see the Chinese Theater. We have never been there, so it was a fun experience for all of us. It was fun to see all the handprints and footprints of stars they like.
 Tom Hanks
 Jason thought his dad would appreciate this one.
 Harry Potter crew
 John Wayne's fist.
 I love how Whoopi has his dredlocks in there.
 This Batman asked us if we wanted a picture with  him. So the boys agreed.
 After we took this last picture with him, Capt. Jack Sparrow came over to argue with Batman...it was a little scary.
 One of my favorite actresses, Sandra Bullock.
 Grauman's Chinese Theater
 The boys thought this was so cool when they realized who Harrison Ford has played.
 We've heard about these famous hotdogs...so we decided to try them out.
 The line wasn't too long.
 We are eating at a hotdog stand and Spencer wanted a hamburger....silly boy!!
The hotdogs were pretty good. I'm still a fan of Weiner Schnitzel. Oh well.

cont. of Disneyland trip Oct. 20-28th

 This was our first time in Cars Land. It was really impressive. They did an amazing job at all the details. The boys loved meeting Mater and Lightning McQueen and it was so fun to be able to interact with them. They would talk to the boys and they even wished Lincoln a happy birthday.
 Ka Chow!!!
 I love how Luke kept hugging him.
 This was our longest waiting line for any ride. It is the Cars ride....we waited for about an hour. Most of the time we walked right on rides. We went at the perfect time of year. It was pretty slow.
 Lincoln loved celebrating his birthday here....he would always get someone to wish him a happy birthday on every ride we went on. He was loving all the attention.
 This had to be my favorite ride of all time. It was amazing!!!
 This was also a new ride. It's like bumper cars but you are riding on air and so its the movement of your body in the tire that makes you move back and forth. Pretty ingenious.
 Lucas loved the Little Mermaid ride.
 So serious
 I love my boys!!! They were so well behaved. I mean....we had our occasional flair ups, but overall....they were awesome.
 Spencer is pretending to take a picture with this old fashioned camera.
 Good looking Goofy
 Scary pose!!
 My 3 Mickeys
Spencer thought if he did this and I took a picture, that he looked like Indiana Jones
 I love when they interact so nicely to each other.
 On this day we went later to the park because we had a special ticket to the Mickey's Trick or Treat night.
 This was us waiting for the bus.
 My 3 characters.
 This was my first attempt at making costumes. With my mom and sisters help, here's the final products.
 You cant even see Luke with Spencer's parrot in the way. He's there...
 Spencer met this girl in line and she asked him if he would ride with her. See her mom in the seat behind...she thought they were so cute together.
 I was so scared that Lincoln would be scared with this ride, Space Mountain....but after we got off, I asked if he liked it and he said he wanted to go on it again.
 This special event was so worth it....we loved every second of it.
 We went to 4 of the trick or treat spots where they pass out candy and we got so much candy that we decided to hit some photo op places instead. They had 15 all together.
 Phineas and Ferb.
 Waiting for the special parade that night.
 My prince charming....Lincoln wanted to be Prince Charming because he wanted all the princesses to kiss and hug him. He's a lover, for sure.
 After the parade was the fireworks show.
 Luke was loving playing peek a boo with his Mickey ears
 The longest line we waited for to meet someone was for Captain Jack Sparrow.
 It was totally worth it.
 Waiting to meet Jessie.
 As the park was closing we ran into the line for the princesses. They said they closed the line right before we got there....but seeing Lincoln dressed as Prince Charming, they couldn't help but let us in. So we were the last ones through that line that night.
 Lincoln stealing a kiss from Belle.
 The cutest thing ever was hearing little Luke ask for someone's autograph.
 On our way back to the hotel.
 These were the candy stops that they would give handfuls from.
