It seems that you can only upload 4 scrappbook pages at a time, here is the last one from our trip!

Disney Pages continued...

Tour of Disney, 2009

During Logan's Fall break from school, we took a trip to the Magic Kingdom with Uncle Russ, Aunty Shell, Nanny and Papa (Dave and Sandy). While we were there, our neighbors The Zylstras and my coworker Michele and her family were also visiting Mickey Mouse, so we all spent the first day together. We had so much fun, especially with the park all decked out for Halloween. Ethan had a little touch of the flu, but he was the best person to get sick out of all of us...he was the only one who had a permament ride with the stoller! Besides, he still is a little young for many of the rides and the characters looked much better to him from inside the stroller than out. Logan rode every roller coaster this time and loved them all (although he said he closed his eyes on Space Mountain). I was so proud when he announced to us that he "loves it when he loses his stomach on the roller coasters", he is a roller coaster rider in the making!!! Another big highlight for Logan was when he got chosen to participate in the Jedi Training Academy, he learned some new techniques with the light saber and then actually got to test them out on Darth Vader! We also had the opportunity to check out California Adventure and ride all the fun rides. We especially enjoyed The Rapids and Scream roller coaster! We just love Disneyland and can't wait for our next tour with Mickey!

Parent's Night Out!

This is what happens when you let the adults of the house out for the night...they go a little crazy, including what they think is "IN" for fashion! Really, our friends and neighbors The Carpenters, had a Halloween party and we got to have a night out! We even went out of our comfort zone and used a real babysitter, not just our family. And we survived, as well as the children! In fact Logan was so excited to have our babysitter arrive, he was looking out the window until she came, and then was shooing us out the door quickly, no tears. This was our first babysitter (we are very fortunate to have both sides of our families here in town, so there has always been a family memeber to stay with the kiddos), but I think we will be venturing out more now, watch out Chandler, AZ!!! I will be posting some pages soon from our Tour of Disney and my San Francisco trip. It's been a little hectic here and you would think by being on vacation from work I would have plenty of time to scrappbook and blog. It is the exact opposite for me, I guess that means I better get back to work!

VIP in our Family...

On the last day of school before Fall break, Logan had a very special day at school. He earned a seat at the VIP table and had lunch with his school principal, Mr. Merrill. Logan was the Most Improved and gave the best effort in his class the last month, so as a reward, one student from each class got to sit at this very important table. Ethan and I walked up to school to capture the moment, Logan was so excited! And he made sure to bring an extra bag of Mr. Merrill's favorite snack, Cheetos!

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Today is Gavin's Birthday! He would have been 4 years old on this day, and I am sure he would have been just as cute and feisty as his brothers! We miss him terribly and constantly wonder what our life would have been like with him in our daily lives. There is not a day that goes by that I don't stop thinking about him. His life was a gift to us, and we feel blessed that he touched so many in such a short time. Happy 4th Birthday to You, our sweet baby boy!!!

We've Converted!

The Jaffies have FINALLY done it...we made the move to a mini-van!!! After months of thought, research, discussion (because you know we are SUV people), we decided to get a van. We really do love the space, and it will make our future traveling much more enjoyable. We were sad to see our Jeep go but I think this will be a great change for our family. Even Logan was sad when he realized at the dealership that we would not be bringing our old car home too. We had crocodile tears rolling down his sweet face when the realization hit. It really is the only car he has ever known. He even asked to take a picture of it...Whose child is he now? I told him of course we have some pictures at home somewhere. And he hasn't even asked about it today, hope that is a good sign! And Ethan especially loves the center seat, I think he thinks he is a big boy now!
