Luke & Noah's 1st Birthday Bash - Life's A Circus!

 
We had a circus of a party to celebrate Lukie & Noah's 1st birthday.
 
Credits for these pics go to my great friend, Amy McFarlane!

Our kind of petting zoo - stuffed animals!

Present Time!




Yes, that's a Costco Sheet Cake for my sons' 1st birthday party. 
And yes, the frosting is not as good as it used to be.



The boys giving our predicted reactions - Noah the Not-So-Sure...



and Luke the Destroyer.



Not feeling so good right about now...



Noah finally gets into it!


Bathtime was definitely necessary after that feast!




We had a photo booth that turned out to be sooo fun.  Here are some of the results...











 
A successful party!  We love you, Luke & Noah, and are so glad you are a part of our family!

California 2011 - Disneyland


While in California we got a chance to spend a couple of days at the Magic Kingdom!
It was everything we dreamed it would be with the boys - they loved every second!



Breakfast in the hotel - bright and early on our first day!


Peter Pan ride! 




The Sword in the Stone


Autopia



Finding Nemo Submarine ride - this pose from the Teebs says it all!



Inside the submarine - we spent the first day with my brother, Matt, & his family.


The highly anticipated Star Tours!  I had to close my eyes the whole time, but the boys LOVED IT!


Mmmmm....Dole Whips outside the Tiki Room.


Mickey's House.


Can you find the boys on this Toontown roller coaster? 
Parker's favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain - he rode it about 5 times -
but that one went too fast to get a picture!


Cutie pie Natalie.


Tyler getting brave for the Haunted Mansion.


Splash Mountain!  Tyler LOVED it.  Parker, not so much.   


with Mater & Lightning - we can't wait for Cars World to open up this summer!


all smiles on Mickey's ferris wheel at Disneyland's California Adventure.


My sibs and I had a picture taken with this same statue twenty years ago! 


Late night partiers!  We stayed 'til closing time both days - midnight!


A blurry pic of Sleeping Beauty's castle....ahhh, we miss you, Disneyland!
