Exciting News!

We are excited to announce that we are pregnant with baby #3! I am due around December 2nd. To tell Ryan's family, Aiden wore this "I'm the big brother" shirt that Wyatt got when Aiden was born. Wyatt says he wants a little sister but Aiden wants a little brother. I guess we'll see!


A few months ago we made this planter (with the help of our brother in law Jason) and we finally have plants growing. This is our zucchini and it is getting huge!

The rest of the garden is slowly getting bigger too.

Aiden turned 5 on April 13th. He had his birthday party at Golfland.

Blowing out the candles on his cake.

All the boys waiting for the pizza.

Everybody got to goofy golf. It was pretty funny watching a bunch of 3, 4, and 5 year olds try to golf but they all had a good time.

Opening presents at Grandma and Grandpa Tegeler's house.

Grant, our nephew, had his birthday the day after Aiden so they celebrated them together. Here they are ready to blow out the candles.

Wyatt and Aiden started baseball and are both loving it!

They look so adorable in their uniforms.

They both got lucky and ended up with the Diamondbacks even though they are on different teams.

Wyatt has gotten a few double plays this season as well as a grand slam.

We only have a few more weeks of baseball left and are looking forward to school getting out and for summer to begin.

Disneyland Fun and More

Since blogger uploaded my pictures in random order I'll have to start from the most recent. Ryan's birthday was on Monday and since the boys didn't have school he took the day off. We decided to have a picnic and hike at Usery Park. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Wyatt had a hard time getting up to the top and we couldn't slow Aiden down.

Ryan and I up at the top of the mountain. Don't look too closely at my red face!

When we got to the top of the mountain there were squirrels everywhere. They kept coming really close to us. The boys were loving it.

When we went on our trip to Disneyland we went down to Carlsbad and went to the beach. It was rainy and cold but that didn't stop the boys from playing out there.

We saw all of these sea lions laying out on the beach. The boys thought that was cool.
We drove down the Pacific Beach Highway on our way home and since it was raining too hard to be outside we stopped in La Jolla and went to an aquarium.
They had some pretty crazy fish there.

When we were still in Carlsbad on the beach the boys made sand castles and looked for shells. They both got pretty wet. Aiden didn't mean to get so wet but a wave got him all the way up to his chest. Not long after that we had to go in and change before they froze!
Wyatt and Aiden thought the Jedi Training at Disneyland was the coolest thing ever. You have to be called out of the audience and then you get to go up and wear the robes and have a lightsaber. They teach you how to fight with the lightsaber and then you get to fight Darth Vader.

Here's Aiden's dream coming true!!

Wyatt got to fight a different bad guy but I don't know enough to know his name.

The boys and goofy. Can you tell Aiden is so excited to be in the picture?

The boys and their 3-D glasses from one of the shows.

We had to get our picture with Woody. Aiden would not get in any of the pictures with the characters. I guess he's too cool for that.

We saw a Lego store at Downtown Disney and they were in love!

Wyatt and Ryan on the teacups.

Can't forget Mickey Mouse!

This was the first day into the park.

The classic Disneyland picture.

As soon as we got into the park Wyatt got picked out of a group to dance with the band and the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. He was so embarrassed! It was the best trip ever! The park was so slow and we got to go on every single ride a ton of times. The boys were in pure Heaven!

Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake

I was looking through this cookbook the other day and found a toasted marshmallow milkshake and had to try it. It was devine and is super easy to make! All you do is toast 9 marshmallows on a cookie sheet under the broiler until really toasted. Then put in a blender with 1/4 cup milk and blend for 5 seconds. Then you add 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream and blend for like 20 seconds. This is only enough for 1 milkshake so you'll need to double it. Once you try it you will be hooked!

Catch up

I have a lot of catching up to do since I'm so far behind. To start off with, I won this awesome blendtec blender on www.ourbestbites.com. I just got it yesterday and we had to try it out. This blender is not an ordinary blender! It makes soft serve ice cream in like 45 seconds, it makes bread dough, pancake batter and a ton of other things. I could not believe I won it!


We had a good Christmas and we all made a haul! The boys both got cardinals hats and they were so cute wearing them I had to get a picture.

This was the boys opening their presents from Santa Claus. They didn't get a whole lot this year because Santa was very generous and is taking us all to DISNEYLAND!



Of course they had to have a Mickey Mouse shirt!


I don't think it really sank in that we were going at first but everyday they ask how many days until we go to Disneyland. It is going to be so fun for Aiden because this time he can ride all the big kid rides.

I know I am a little late posting about Christmas but I had to put up these cute pictures of Aiden at his Christmas program for preschool. They sang a couple of songs and had a visit from Santa.


They got to play the triangle and wear different props for each song.

Aiden with his Santa hat and beard.

He was too cute in this scarf and I was surprised that he even did the actions!

And last but not least with reindeer antlers. I can't believe that this is the last couple of months of preschool and in August I'll have a kindergartener!

Update

I have some stuff to post but I can't post until Ryan hooks up the cable so I can download my pictures. Hopefully this week I can get caught up with Christmas.
