What do you get when you put a Ryan on a dryer with his daddy's wallet?















An opportunity to take 3 layers of paneling off of the back of the dryer to retrieve the wallet!




















Ryan was first playing with the wallet. When he got bored, he noticed he could pull the dryer screen in and out. When that got boring, he noticed the deep dark hole where the dryer screen goes. When that got boring he wondered what would happen if he put daddy's wallet down into that deep dark hole. Notice the wallet sitting in the bottom of the dryer screen cavity that I removed from the dryer. I wish he didn't get bored so easily.

Nicole's Kindergarten Graduation

Gotta love kindergarten--picking your nose is not quite taboo as it will be next year!

Oakland Temple

Our ward's Elders quorum has a temple trip 4 times a year where you can bring your kids, and someone watches them in the Stake Center next to the temple. You only have to leave your kids for the time it takes for a session, rather than 5 hours! Someone was thinkin'!

Firestation

Nicole missed out on this one as she was still in school. The boys LOVED it--if you can't tell.

Disneyland--The Happiest Place on Earth

That's what the sign reads on one of the entrance gates. I can actually think of many other times and places where I've been much happier--all having to do with my wonderful husband and amazing children--but Disneyland, was a pretty happy/fun place. (Don't forget to click "older posts" to see Isaac's favorite ride--I posted it first, and it got pushed to the next page as I added more pictures. :( )

Hephalumps and Woozles!!

The kids all liked the Winnie the Pooh ride--the hephalumps and woozles part of it disturbed them a little, but they still wanted to meet Winnie the Pooh after it was all over. Unfortunately we waited in line for a while, and the characters left to take a break. After waiting a while for them to come back we decided to move on and a minute after we did they came back!! I think Curt and I felt worse about it than the kids did. :)

Great Friends

Erik and Shelby Condon are the ones who invited us to come to Disneyland with them. They made us the best steak dinner we've ever had, and even provided us with a place to stay!! Disneyland was very fun, but the trip was even that much more fun because we got spend time with our friends.
