On playhouse Disney!!!!
Im kind of a stickler mom when it comes to TV shows and what I think is okay for my two and a half year old to watch. All he is allowed to watch on tv is Little Einstens (if we are up, its been awhile since he was up early enough to watch that) Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny, and My Friends Tigger and Pooh, which is basically playhouse disney. We were totally excited to see a Playhouse Disney LIVE!! thing at California Adventure. We went and sat down and as soon as Landon heard the song come on he was so excited, he started jumping up and dancing. He loved to watch all his characters and sing along with the songs. He yelled for Toodles when it was time (for those of you who dont know who that is, its Mickey tools to help him out.) I had a blast watching him watch them.
The whole thing was Minnie Mouses Birthday party and he keeps talking about going to her party. And telling me all about it.
Landon and Pops after it was over! (Landon adores his pops)
When Tigger and Pooh solved the mystery all the leaves flew out of the tree, Landon had a blast picking them up.
Just in Awe!!!
Handy Manny! ( One of Landons nicknames is Landi Pandi and we sing the Handy Manny song with Landons name) He loved watching Handy Manny
There was some AWESOME puppetering going on.... I was amazed at how good it was.
Having so much fun!!!! I love that face
Jamming to the music!!!!!
He heard the music coming on and perked up!!!! Silly boy!

It was so rainy in Disneyland the first day so we played with the boys and Noah had lots of fun taking lots of pictures of me and the boys.... mainly trying to get a good one of Braddoc.....
"Mom I am done taking pictures"
Silly face! Thats the face he makes when he is talking.... its so funny
More interested in the TV then paying attention to dad trying to take a picture.
What kind of faces is that? (okay dad needs to work on camera skills, this one was taken among many before I said, "turn on the flash." Ahhh such simple things yet he does not think of them. :O) (still got to love em)

Who'da thunk?
......It would snow so much right outside Vegas? We saw this about 10 minutes outside the city limits on the way to Disneyland. Landon was so excited to see it, he kept saying "Look mommy!!! Snow, its beautiful." It was fun to see. What I wonder about..... why if we are farther north then this did we not get snow too?........ hmmm!!!

First installment of Disneyland!
Sorry, there are so many pictures and I know the grandparents and aunts and uncles love pics so I could not decide. When I was uploading the pictures we had 400 from two days, so I really narrowed it down alot. My camera battery died after about 2 hours in the park, I wanted to cry. So my dad took pictures and I have not gotten them from him yet, so my 400 is only 2 hours one day and then the next day when my mom dropped and broke my dads camera and he could not take pictures, good thing we brought our charger so we at least had one camera at all times.
We had a lot of fun, the trip there took about 6:30 hours with a potty trained two year old who had to pee every 20 minutes. There was a big snow storm a few days before and the road we had to take was stand still traffic for a bit, it took us an hour and half to go 15 miles, talk about going crazy. And then my dad missed the exit, I called him and told him and he said there would be another one so we kept driving, after about 20 minutes and no new exit I called him up and said "UH I think we need to turn around." So that was about another hour add on to the trip. The drive home was about 4 and a half, that more like it. Season passes are so cheap too and since its so close I think when Noah gets home we will buy season passes. It was so much fun to watch Landon, he was just in awe, a major sensory overload, he was just looking all around with him mouth wide open and his eyes huge. It was the best thing ever to watch his face. He loved to meet all the characters and give them all kisses. He was star struck, it was precious. It rained the whole first day (hard in the morning misty after lunch) and was freezing. We stayed in the hotel till the rain let up a bit and then went in the afternoon. The lines we almost non existent, it was really nice. The next day was A LOT busier and the lines we ridiculous. It was so nice to see everything lit up for christmas. All the decorations and lights. A lot of the rides like ITS A SMALL WORLD, were completely redone for christmas, so it was a whole no ride experience. After we put the worn out boys to bed Noah and I went back to the park and rode two big kid rides. We went during the fireworks so we had to run to get to the rides and get on them while everyone was watching fireworks so we did not have to wait. I have been telling Noah about the Indiana Jones ride for years so we had to go on that one. We went to wait in line but the ride was shut down so we went to a new ride. The line for the Matterhorn was wrapped around the mountain earlier in the day (about a 2-3 hr wait) we got on in 10 minutes. We went back to the Indiana Jones ride and waited a bit till it open and we walked right on we did not even have to wait. SCORE!!!!
The boys were so good, they did not fuss (Braddoc) or throw fits (Landon) they did so awesome! It was a wonderful trip (aside from the rain and the fact that I was sick and Braddoc got sick). I am so blessed to have two such amazing boys, it was so much fun to be in the "happiest place on earth" with my wonderful husband and darling boys.
Landon LOVES Minnie (he is giving her a kiss). When he got to pick out a doll he picked Minnie and Daisy first (he so needs a little sister) and they were his babies, he burped them and changed them and gave them kisses. Before the trip was over he had all of the character dolls (yeah spoiled, but he loves them so much I could not help myself).
Braddoc all nice and cozy in daddys jacket.
I was so darn sick and you can really tell in this picture. :O)
I had no voice so I really had to strain to talk, probably why I looked so silly in this picture. Landon loved Minnies hour, he was so amazed at all the stuff.
Jail break!!!!
Loving the ITS A SMALL WORLD ride!!!! I dont think I ever saw him so in awe and so mesmerized and happy.
He got this goofy from a friend of ours for Christmas. He had it the whole time on the way and the whole time at the park. He LOVES his goofy. He was being so silly with it in the car. "My baby." It kept him nice and entertained.
