Disneyland and such...

We went to Disneyland with Trent's family this week....

Here are the kids with Trent's brother and sisters (and Mickey).

Trevor is 12, Taylor is 10, and Victoria is 4

And, another new development is that good ol' Spiderman has been replaced!!!

(I am secretly a little happy about this! shhh!)

Toy Story, or "Woody's Buzz" as Liam calls it, is a new favorite in the Best household

The boys got new Woody dolls at Disneyland and haven't let them go since......

Liam still gives Buzz a little attention, too.

While in Disneyland, we came out of the gift shop in Frontierland and ran into this singing cowboy! He was hilarious and he sang a little song about Woody's Round-up for the boys.

Then we got to take a picture with him (and Woody).

This cowboy was AWESOME!!!

Big Boys Now

As my babies are about to turn 2 yrs old and 4 yrs old this month, I was informed that they are no longer babies.

:(

Well, this requires new big boy beds!!!

This weekend they got their new bunk bed all set up and ready to sleep in! Dylan gets the top and Liam gets the bottom.

I can't believe they are this big already!

This is what they were sleeping in before.....

No more crib for Liam.... once they can climb out, whats the point really??

Dylan's toddler bed..... He had to sleep crooked so his long legs would fit on it.

Oh well... time for my baby boys to grow up. Soon a new baby will be here and I will get a whole new round of the "baby life".

Halloween Party

While Dylan was at school on Halloween, Liam and I had a party with our playgroup friends...

Spidey likes hats!

All the kids in their costumes!

Liam, Mason and Sam.... aren't they so adorable??

Happy Halloween

Halloween Eve started with a Jack 0 Lantern pizza.... yummy!

Getting ready to go Trick or Treating, the Spider Men shoot webs
Free Candy??? Awesome!

10 Years Come and Gone...

This weekend was my 10 Year High School Reunion.

My closest friends from high school all got together and caravaned over to the Reunion.

It was amazing to see how much everyone has changed. It was a little surreal, though, to see people with husbands and children.

Between us we have 7 children (with one more on the way), 4 husbands, one almost fiance, countless bachelors/masters degrees, we have moved all around the country including Ohio and Michigan, we have bought houses and become real adults. And through it all we have stayed such great friends. I love that!

I can't believe it has been 10 years, but now I can't wait for the next reunion so we can all get together again!

I had a great time, guys! Lets get together more often!

By the way.... We missed you, Ryan!

Pumpkin Patch

This is our trip to the Pumpkin Patch....

Here is Liam sitting on his pumpkin.

And Dylan picking out his.

Waiting for the story time to begin... patiently.

Liam decided he wanted a front row seat.

On the hay ride. (By the way, on his back is his monkey backpack. Otherwise known as a baby leash. We are trying the "no stroller" approach.)

Dylan on the hayride.

This is the pumpkin patch last year. Dylan was about to turn 3 and Liam was 11 months old.

Man how time flies.... he still has that mischevious grin, though.

My big boy.

Sixth of Sixth

I was tagged by Cyndy (my mommy) to post the 6th picture in the 6th folder in MY PICTURES.

This is Liam in October of last year after eating an Oreo Cookie. He is 11 months old.




I now tag Becky, Suzette, Katie Corner, Elizabeth Cook, Ryan and Peggy!
