The beloved Voltron!

The even more beloved Nintendo Switch! I worked my mommy butt off to get these kids to do enough jobs in order to earn $300 for this thing. So much fighting happens when they play it, but they love it.

Scott got them silver dollars.

San Francisco Botanical Gardens

Rigby, Peter, Adeline and Reuben standing next to a Redwood Tree.

We had some crazy experiences riding on the subway and bus systems in San Francisco. We actually got off on one of the worst stops in the city; there were so many pot heads. On the bus, Peter and Rigby sat next to a guy that was very nice but super high. Afterwards I told them, "And that is why you don't do drugs." The elevators smelled like urine so badly and Reuben tried picking up a soda cup that I'm pretty sure had urine in it, ha ha ha!

The Golden Gate Bridge

I love this picture of Reuben on top of a cannon. This is at a civil war fort at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Muir Woods National Monument

Timothy was too heavy for this carrier, so he kept wobbling from side-to-side. I was a little nervous about dumping him into the creek.

The view was beautiful!

Legoland

We were also able to spend a day at Legoland. It was fun to see all of the Lego creations, but the rides were a little bit disappointing. The kids LOVED posing for pictures with their favorite Lego characters!

Disneyland - Oct 2017

When we found out that we were moving to California and would only be 2.5 hours from Disneyland, we called my parents the next day and said, "we want to meet up with you in October at Disneyland." (since they already had a trip planned) From there both my sisters and their families decided to come as well. It was so much fun!

Marissa or "Aunt Moo" & Reuben

Adeline & Minnie Mouse (her favorite)

Peter and Rigby were not happy that I made them take a picture with Mickey Mouse because they are too mature and cool for that now. Reuben was TERRIFIED of all the characters, ha ha ha.

My Parents (little lovebirds, so cute)
