Favorite Picture Friday: Sept. 17, 2010

Here are some pictures that Shelli took at Disneyland. I love this first one because Matt and Jason both have the same evil grin while driving in the bumper cars.


I love this picture of Drewbie! We were in Toon Town and there was a door that if you opened it a loud crackling noise sounds out. As you can see by this picture, it made Drew jump!


Here is a cute picture of Mom and Dad with the boys. Jason went and got the boys pins that said "First Visit," and they were so excited to wear them!

This picture is of Matt in the parking lot next to these big green cones. Green is his favorite color, so everywhere we went he would point out the green.

Favorite Picture Friday: DISNEYLAND Special!

What a shock that we decided to go to Disneyland the past Labor Day Weekend (sarcasm)!! This trip was a little different though, because 8 of us drove down to Anaheim. Mom, Dad, Kurt, Shelli, Drew, Matt, Jason and I. It was such a fun trip and we loved being able to see Disneyland through Drew's and Matt's eyes. Here are a bunch of pictures from that trip.

Favorite Picture Friday: Sep. 3rd, 2010

These pictures were taken from our balcony looking over the Dead Sea in Jordan. We were reminising on our trip taken there and one thing that we will never forget was the view of the sun setting at the Dead Sea. The sunlight was so warm there and it was such a beautiful site. There are very few sunsets, in my mind, that you will remember for a lifetime, and that was one of them for us.

P.S. Expect to see some pictures from out Labor Day trip next week!! Where are we going? If you know us then you can probably guess!
