The Happiest Place on Earth

For Christmas Daniel's parents surprised us with a trip to....

Disneyland!!!

So the beginning of May we packed up our little family (and yes-our 3 month old baby) and flew to Disneyland. For those of you who know Daniel and I, know that we love Disneyland more than the average child. We were so excited to take Canyon and Oakley there. Oakley did a lot better than we thought he would and Canyon did a little worse. So it evened out quite nicely.
We got a 5 day pass into Disneyland which was perfect amount of time (I told you-we LOVE Disneyland!). The lines were short and the weather was warm. It was so much fun to see Canyon for the first time in Disneyland. He was so excited about everything. He went on all the rides he could. The train that went around the park was his favorite ride.

He also loved Dumbo of course!

Canyon and Goofy!

Canyon and Lydia walked around the park holding hands. If Canyon was more than 3 feet away from Lydia at any given moment-there was a major melt down.

The gang on the Jungle Cruise.

The family in front of Pirates. Notice Canyon had on a Pirates of the Caribbean shirt. He ended up being a little scared of this ride. Oakley on the other hand went right to sleep every time he rode on it!

C is for Canyon-that's good enough for me!

Canyon got to see Mater and Lightening McQueen in real life. He was so excited!!

Canyon and Daniel riding Autopia.

Mickey Mouse!!!

Little Oakley was the best baby ever! He just rode in his stroller, slept on the rides, and wanted to eat occasionally. He got to ride It's a Small World, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, the Train, and some of the kiddie rides in Fantasy Land. What a little sweetheart :)

Canyon had to have some time outs. Yup-even in Disneyland.

Kisses from Minnie. After that Canyon totally had a crush on her. When he went to pick out a souvenir on our last day in Disneyland- he wanted a Minnie stuffed animal.

Dancing to parade music in front of the castle.

Waterfalls at the Disneyland Hotel.

Woody made of Lego's.

The family at California Adventure.

Jared, Canyon Jesse, and Lydia.

This little water park in Bugs Life Land was Canyon very favorite thing to play in at Disneyland. We let him wear his swimsuit into Disneyland just so he could play and play and play in the water...

The trip went too quickly and before we knew it we were back on the plane. It was so much fun! Canyon still talks about going to Disneyland and tells me regularly that he wants to go back to the hotel and back to Disneyland. Maybe some day :) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Furr!!! We had such a blast.

Highlights and Memories:

*The absolute chaos of getting the kids through the airport, on the plane, off the plane, on the bus, off the bus, and into the hotel

*Canyon HATING the airplane

*Walks in Downtown Disney after the park closed

*Canyon falling off the bed-getting wedged between the bed and the wall-yet somehow still managed to stay asleep

*Oakley watching Canyon on the Carousel

*Churros

*The duck that attacked Daniel and literally hit him in the face with it's wing

*Canyon's first look at the train-then the sobbing that followed because the train left him behind

*Popcorn

*Eating at the Mexican restaurant inside Disneyland

*Canyon saying over and over "Canyon's turn!"

*Bambi wall paper in the baby station

*Daniel and I getting a few minutes to ourselves in Disneyland (thanks everyone!)

*Corn dogs

*Fireworks

*Canyon riding the Toon Town Roller Coaster and loving it

*Having our little boys enjoy Disneyland :)

The boys...

Here are some random pictures throughout that last few month of the boys. Canyon and Oakley are checking each out shortly after Oakley was born.

Kisses for Oakely Bear! So sweet:)

There is nothing more precious than a sleeping baby.

Dying Easter eggs--Daniel has more fun than Canyon and I always have to boil extra eggs for him!

The boys all dressed up on Easter Sunday.

Canyon and Oakley hanging out on Canyon's new big boy bed!

The spring finally came and it was warm enough to play outside!

One day I came into the room to find Canyon and Oakley snuggling. What cute little boys!

Let the updates begin!

We finally got our computer fixed thanks to my bro in law Matt! He is a life saver!!! So I can finally get our blog updated and let you know what we've been up too the last 5 months.
Canyon turned 2 at the end of February. I made a list of all the funny things Canyon did when he was two and I'm so glad I did because he has already changed so much! So here are a few things we love about our two year old:
1. Canyon is a great big brother.
2. He RUNS everywhere!
3. He sings happy birthday to himself-all year long:) 4. He wears big boy underwear! He is out of diapers completely-even at night.

5. He throws silent fits. Seriously-he lays on floor (as shown below) and doesn't make a sound! The jokes on him because I love it when he is quiet:)

6. He cheers us up by giving us his stuffed animals when we are sad.

7. He shows Oakley how to play with his toys.

8. Canyon has made story time our favorite time of day.

9. Canyon loves brushing his teeth! Let's hope that will last.

10. Canyon is great at sharing his toys with his brother.

We are so glad you are in our family Canyon! We love you!

An Update

Wow too much time has past since I last wrote a post. It amazing how busy we are with two kids, jobs, and well...just life in general. Canyon and Oakley are growing up so fast and not slowing down one bit.
Oakley just turned 5 months old on July 5th! He is such a little angel! I never knew how easy a baby could be. Oakley eats great and sleeps through the night. He also loves taking naps during the day. He is very smiley and happy. He is rolling over and playing with toys. He can even sit up for a few seconds all by himself. I could not ask for a better baby. I am so grateful everyday that I got such a wonderful little boy.
Canyon is getting smarter everyday. We have had to be extra careful on what we say around him because he picks up on everything! The other day I was driving in the car and someone cut me off. Before I could yell at the guy I heard a little voice yell from the back "Idiot!" Needless to say I have learned quickly to control my road rage:) Canyon is singing a lot songs, counting, and knows his ABC's. He has started saying prayers which brings tears to my eyes! It is so precious to hear his sweet little voice talk to Heavenly Father. He loves blessing Lindsey, Max, and Oakley..sorry everyone else. We are working on it ;)
Canyon and Oakley LOVE each other. The first thing Canyon says in the morning is "I want to see Oakley Bear". (That is what he calls Oakley. Isn't that so cute!) Canyon loves doing tricks for Oakley and sharing his toys with him. Oakley just smiles and smiles at Canyon whenever he is around. It makes a mother very proud to see them love each other so much.
Daniel is out of school for the summer which has been so nice! We actually get to see him and spend time as a family.
I hope to be able to play catch up on our blog over the next few weeks because we have done a lot of fun things. Our computer crashed a few weeks ago so as soon as it is up and running look for some more posts and updated pictures.

Sweet Baby Oakley

Here are some pictures of baby Oakley. I love Harris Photography!! When I got these pictures taken not only was Oakley being a little grouchy, Canyon was also with me being a crazy 2 year old. And yet she still managed to get amazing pics!! harrisphotogallery.blogspot.com

Lucky...

I am very lucky because I have the best husband in the world! Daniel is so helpful. He cleans our house everyday, whether he has to get up early and do it or stay up late after he gets home from work. He also helps me with the cooking. I haven't had to cook a meal since Oakley was born! He also plays with Canyon, puts him to bed, and gets him ready for the day. When he is not playing with Canyon, he is helping me take care of Oakley. He even volunteers to change both of their diapers! Basically, he does everything all the while going to school full time and working full time! I don't know how he does it, but I feel very lucky:) Thanks Daniel for being the best husband a girl could ask for.
