Backyard Randomness

Decided to try planting some new things this year and so far so good. We planted giant strawberries (which have yet to bloom), carrots, beets and tomatoes! Our orange trees have some oranges on them and our apple tree looks like it's going to have lots of apples this year too. The nectarine and lemon trees haven't fared as well. I think the cold weather froze off all of the nectarine blooms so we don't have a single nectarine on the tree. Luckily I still have 5 or 6 bags of nectarine pulp from last season!

As I was out in the backyard trying to get some pics of our garden, the kids were being their wacky selves. Almost every time Brooklyn sees me with my camera, she asks, "Mommy, take pictures of me running at you."
Melanie is usually willing to hop in front of the camera too...although it takes some pretty serious potty humor to get her to give me a real smile!

Brandon does NOT want me to take his picture, unless he's being incredibly silly. I think he was actually thinking of what he could do when I snapped this one.
As soon as Brooklyn saw that I was taking pictures of the other two, she decided that she had to change her outfit and be my model too.

Once the cuteness wears off, she has to be silly too.

Usually they spend most of their playtime swinging. You would think that we were part of a circus show the way they flip around on them. I may send them to the circus one of these days.




We ended the afternoon with some "Slow Motion Running" from Brandon. I think this was what he was thinking up when I took his picture earlier.
Pretty random, as most days are around here. But I know one day, the kids will be older and I will miss all this sillyness!

Our Trip to Disney!

Still haven't blogged about our trip to Disney....seems to be the way things go around here, I don't think I've blogged Melanie's birthday party and it was almost a year ago LOL Since we didn't get a visit from Grandpa Mike over spring break, we were really missing our usual trip to Disneyland. Since Daddy is in between jobs, we decided to make a mini vacation of it. We surprised the kids when they got out of school on a thursday and headed to Anaheim. We checked in to the hotel and let the kids swim at the pool. Once the sun set and it was too chilly for the pool, we got ready for some dinner. We walked across the street to downtown disney, checked out the lego store and then headed to Rainforest Cafe. The kids LOVE eating there and I think dessert is their favorite part...."VOLCANO!" By the time we got back to the hotel it was super late and we all crashed. I think Melanie woke up atleast 3 times checking to see if it was time for Disneyland. Around 6am, Brandon got us all up and we headed to Starbucks for some breakfast and coffee for mom and dad! We got in line for Disneyland at 7:30am and didn't get back to our car until 11pm...it was an incredibly fun and exhausting day! I think we're just recovering now....a week later LOL










































Fun was had by all!!
