California Love

We are finally back from our trip. We had such a blast, but are happy to be home. We are so lucky to be able to spend some quality time with my Family, since we don't see them that often. Here is a look into the fun times that we had...

We were able to find a great deal on some Disneyland Hopper tickets and spent all day on Friday fighting the crowds and heat. (Note to all of you thinking about going to Disneyland in the Summer: DONT DO IT!). It was probably 100* and so crowded that I was miserable! Tatum had a blast though and that made it all worth it. My Parents came at 6:00pm and picked up the boys so that we were able to get in some adult rides!

Tatum loved the Carousel and Pinocchio the best, but my favorite was the Tower of Terror!

We made a few trips to the beach. Our first beach trip Tatum wasn't loving the water or the sand. But the second time, we couldn't get him out of the ocean and he played all day in the sand! The beach was beautiful and the waves were awesome!

Eric crashing while attempting to surf.

If you look closely you can see a dolphin fin right next to Eric. There were about 3 dolphins swimming right by him!

Our sad sand castle!

Tatum learned to play the Wii...


And we took some family pictures on the beach. It was such a beautiful day and the waves were so big that by the end of the photo shoot we were all drenched! In between shots Tatum and Eric hunted for baby crabs. Tatum loved them!

During this trip Tatum learned so many new words. He started saying Outside, Binky, Blanket and my favorite is Where'd it go? The crabs would escape and Tatum would say "Where'd it go?" Sorry for all the pictures but we had so much fun that we had to share with everyone!

3rd Times A Charm...Hopefully!

Yesterday Tatum came down with what we thought was a cold. It started out with a severe runny nose. Then during the night he woke up with a cough and his eyes were clogged up. When he woke up in the morning he couldn't even open his eyes! I took him into the Doctor's office and they said it was an eye infection and could be a sinus infection as well. To treat it they put him on eye drops and for the 3rd time this year he is on anti-biotics. This poor kid has been through a lot. Now to get all of the stuff out of his eyes we have to give him a bath or else he just screams. The infection is so bad that his eyes are all puffy and the Doctor said this was the worst they have seen in a while. To top it off we are leaving tomorrow for California. They said he would be fine after a few days so they aren't too worried about taking him. I am just worried about the plane ride there! I'm sure that he will be just fine and that we will even have a fun trip! We are spending 8 days in the nice warm weather and are planning on doing some major shopping, some beach trips, family pictures, and maybe even a Disneyland trip (all depending on how Tatum does).

Here is Tatum taking his medicine...what a good boy!


Look how sad he looks, it just kills me to see him like this...

So we will see you all in a week...and hopefully Tatum will be better by then!

A Little Recap

Here is a recap of the events from our crazy but fun week...

We went with some friends to the Petting Zoo, which Tatum loves!
It took him a few minutes to warm up to the horse...

Tatum thought he was pretty cool with his hat and shades on...


His favorite thing right now are horses, he didn't want to leave them...


We went up to Park City for the weekend and had a blast!
Tatum couldn't get enough of the water, we took him swimming at least once a day...

We did some serious damage at the outlet stores. Anytime we walked by this horse, Tatum had to ride it...

Same with the Truck...

After a long day Tatum just crashed...

Eric played some golf in the backyard with his brothers and Tatum would crawl around on the grass and retrieve all the balls. Who needs Roxy when you have Tatum!?!...


Today I watched my friends 1 month old baby. Tatum absolutely loved her! All day long he just wanted to hold her...

This is what would happen when I would take her away from him...

He couldn't stop giving her "Hugs", it was so sweet how much he loved to be around her, I guess he will need a baby brother or sister soon....NOT!!
