A New Year

We started our New Year with surprising the boys with a trip to Disneyland for New Years Eve. We spent the whole day at Disneyland and California Adventures.
We started the trip off by telling Jake and Trent that daddy need to go to LA for a one day training trip. We rented a car and drove down to LA and found our hotel that was in Santa Ana. The next morning we woke up early and told the boys we needed to find where daddy was going to train. After driving around Disneyland once it took them until we pulled into the parking garage to figure out where we were taking them that day and oh they were so excited.

This was taken on the tram to the entrance to buy the tickets to Disneyland. This time we decided to do a park hopper ticket. So we did both lands.
Here the boys are racing to get into Disneyland they were so excited to see everything. I was excited to be able to see Disneyland all decorated for the holidays
Here the boys are in front of the famous Mickey face and Disneyland Train station.
This is Trent on his first Star Tours ride. Last time we went to Disneyland he was to little to ride this ride. He was so excited to be able to finally get on all of the rides that he wanted to ride. We got to also see the new Finding Nemo ride on the Submarines. But I think the best part was seeing both the boys faces after we got done riding Space Mountain.
One of Jake's favorite characters lately is Jack Skeleton from Nightmare before Christmas. So he was excited to be able to get this picture taken of him with Jack. We also went on the Haunted Mansion ride that was all decked out in Nightmare before Chrismas.
After awhile and a lot of rides at Disneyland we went over to California Adventure to see what that was like. We went and saw the 3-D Muppet movie, rode the Monsters Inc. ride, rode the Grizzily rapids ride twice and soaking wet and we also stood in a long line to ride the Toy Story Mania ride.

As Jake will say mommy loves to have pictures of everything. So I try and document the fun we have.
This is just me with the boys having Eric take more pictures of us.
There was a nice couple that was even nice enough to take our family picture at the Hollywood backlot spot.
We were lucky to find a short line and take some pictures with Characters. We took one with one of my favorite characters Goofy. We even took some with the Cars from the movie Cars.We had a lot of fun but after 17 hours at the park we were ready to go. We stayed all the way until it was New Years Day. We had a great trip and loved being able to celebrate the new year with Disney.

Trent's Baptism

This last Saturday my little boy was baptized by his father and was confirmed a memeber of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints by his father too. It was a nice day and it was nice to be able to share it with my grandparents and friends from Church.

Jake was such a great big brother to Trent when he showed him what it was like to be baptized when he was 8 years old 2 years ago. And he said a great prayer at the end of the Trent's baptism.Trent was able to have his primary teacher Sis. Scharmann, Our home teachers Bro. Beals and Bro. Thompson, and our Bishop. It was nice of them to all show up for his special day. Trent had a big circle for his confirmation. Those that took part were Bro. Beals, Bro. Thompson, Grandpa Bronley, Great Grandpa Mealey, Uncle Tim, Bishop Nelson and Daddy. He was blessed to be able to have everyone there.

It was a great Baptism and a very special day for our family.

My Baby is Turning 8

8 years ago I had a sweet precious baby named Trenton Kyle. He was 5 lbs and 13 ozs and was 18 1/4 inches long. He came a month early and scared us with his breathing and had to stay in NICU for 5 days. But on Thanksgiving morning we got the best call to tell us to come and pick up our little peanut. We were so greatful to have him home with us that each Thanksgiving is just another reminder at what a special gift he was to us.

This is my precious little boy when he was one years old. I still can't belive that he has grown up so much. He would love to take pictures and would just be the best little boy when he took pictures.

He was such a cute litte boy and would love to follow his older brother around. He was also my little cuddler and still is. I really miss this about my little boy.

He is still my sweet little baby boy he just is getting so big and grown up. He loves to take pictures with mommy and to go shopping and just being able to spend time with me. He loves his daddy too.

This was him on his last day in First grade and Frias Elementary school with Mrs. Steelhammer. He is in the Second grade now and learning so much. He is starting to love reading and Mrs. Kay his teacher is one of the best.

He has loved watching all of the Man vs. Food shows and when we went to Cheeburger Cheeburger he wanted to eat the half pounder hamburger challange and actually finished it. He was so proud of himself. This was his first time eating this hamburger.

I am looking forward to seeing him getting baptized this month and look forward to many more years of watching my baby boy grow up.

Jake turned 10.

On October 6th Jake turned ten years old. I still can't believe that it has been 10 years since I gave birth to him. He had a great birthday. We took him to Chili's for dinner and the waitress sang happy birthday to him and so did some of the tables around us. It was a great thing for him.

As you can tell he got what he really wanted. Trent gave his brother a Clone Build a blaster and Jake has been asking for this for sometime now. He was so excited when he got this.

He also got a Star Wars Lego Jedi Starfighter from Grandpa for his birthday. He is a big Star Wars fan.

I still can't believe that my little boy is now 10 years old.
