Disneyland! ( part one)

We just got back from a week in sunny California.. which made dull dreary cold utah all that much more depressing to come back to! We drove there.. which i must say was not my favorite part! Actually the drive home would be the worst. ( it was so bad we stoped to buy medicine for Theo, as well as a cup and some milk becuase we lost his cup somehow... when that didnt work we got a hotel halfway back for the night) Porter did really well with the dvd player in the car, Theo on the other hand doesnt care about tv yet. We finally resorted to feeding him to stop screaming.. i know we are great parents!! He had many an oreo and twizzler. We stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in California, who were kind enough to put us up ( of course when they offered they didnt know Theo would scream through the night all week!) Turns out he got a total of FOUR teeth on the trip. Which in hind sight i am grateful for since he got it over with at once instead of draging it out for us. Not that on our vacation was good timing for this. Of course at three am when he had been screaming for four hours I was about ready to put him in the car outside for the night! I am glad he has returned to our happy easy baby... I was worried our Theo was lost to the terrible two's already! He is actually better than ever and the past two nights for the first time EVER he has slept through the night.. i mean all the way... from 9 pm till 8 am. In the other room with Porter. ( yes i know most 16 month olds have been doing this for a while but theo woke up at least once in the night since birth)

Anyways back to our vacation. Here are some pictures from Disneyland. I will put more up later.. as its taken me hours to get this much on here and its midnight.

On the Rockets.. good times. I was actually a little scared on this one and didn't let my rocket go too high because i worried Theo would fall out! Paranoid mommy brain i suppose.

Theo.. taking another nap!

Sadly Mr Toads wild ride was closed, but Porter still wanted to drive the car out front.

On the Carousel. Porter loved it, Theo not so much. Cory sat with him because he was scared.

We waited and waited and waited in line for Casey the Circus Train. The whole time we were waiting porter watched the train load up and go. By halfway through the line he informed us that he wanted to ride in the pink cage. The two little girls ( 7 year old twins) in front of us told Porter that was a GIRL color and he should ride in the orange cage. I guess porter is too young to care what other kids think, or doesn't seem to think being called a girl is an insult. When we got up there he got on the pink cage... with the same girls.. and he LOVED every minute of that ride! For the record we also had to ride the pink and purple Caterpillar at Alice in Wonderland TWICE and the purple Dumbo. What can i say, my boy loves girly colors! Funny thing is, when i was younger i remember hating both those colors.. as well as red. I liked blue, green, and brown ( the latter because they were the colors of tree's)

Porter driving a car ( well not really, its a fake in toon town)
I was sitting while Cory and Porter waited in line... I was bored so taking pictures. Took a picture of him, and Cory made this silly face. He is going to hate me for putting this up, but i think he looks cute ( well and he checks this blog about every 2 months so you will all see it before he asks me to take it off!)


Theo taking one of about 5 naps that day. His shirt says " my parents are exhausted" which is true!! I got a comment about his shirt about every 2 minutes all day long.

Mommy and Theo in Tarzan's tree house. The face he is making is classic Theo. He always says "Oooooo". I thought this picture was funny.. he was playing with a chain that you can use to bang on pots and pans for music like in the movie when they wreck the camp. But in the picture it looks like he is actually chained up... lol... actually there were many parents at Disneyland with their kids on leashes... so I guess its socially accepted these days! Wonder how people would react if i used a chain like this tied around my kid instead of those backpaks with the leash on them.
Dont take pictures of yourself pregnant while leaning over.. cause then you just look fat and not pregnant!!

Porter and Cory were riding Matterhorn. Theo found these flowers and spent five minutes Oooooing at them and then took his shoe off and threw it in there.. no idea why! I guess he doesnt remember flowers, since its been winter for 8 months in utah!! ( it snowed today... on MAY FIRST!! where is spring already?)

Hahahaha... Cory looks stoned.
More pictures in the tree house.


Porter was really excited to go on Autopia. He always asks us if he can drive our car. I always answer when he can reach the pedals. Of course i realize this will be before he is 16, but its hard to explain to a 3 year old the concept of 13 years and much easier to just say you cant reach! Cory said he loved this ride ( I couldn't go because I am pregnant and the cars bang around... Theo was asleep anyways) It is one of the few rides he tells everyone about.
