Preschool Graduation!

Derek has had SUCH a fun year in preschool! He had such a great time and learned so much! We're so glad that we found Miss Angela's preschool!  Their preschool graduation was in the middle of June, which was a bit late...Or perhaps it's just me that is late posting the pictures from graduation that actually took place at the end of May...haha!

We sure love this sweet boy!

 Their program was so cute - they said the pledge and sang songs they learned throughout the year!

 They even played recorders!

 The proud graduate with Miss Angela!

 With his cute friend Cayman!

 Thanks for all of your awesomeness Miss Angela!

*the day after graduation, Derek asked me if we could go and visit Miss Angela!

Baby Weston!

 We were so excited to meet our new little nephew - baby Weston! He was born at the end of April and is such a sweetheart! Cooper loves to look at him and pat his head!  Derek really loves him, too - we just didn't get a picture of them together!

 He's so sweet- I just want to hold him & hold him every time we see him!

 We love you baby Weston!

 It is so fun to watch Aubs and Tyler with him!  They are such great parents! And they don't seem like "first time parents" - they are so calm!!

A few more Disney pics!

These are some pics that Ry took with his phone!
We saw fireworks the night we got to our hotel- we watched from the balcony and it was such an Amazing way to start off our stay in California! Derek's face was just glowing as we watched the fireworks!

 Love this sweet smile!! He really loved Disneyland!

 Ryan, Gman, Lins and Mauri on "California Screamin"! They said it was a really great rollercoaster! ...I took their word for it, haha!

 One of Ryan's favorite pictures- Derek putting his hands up on Splash Mountain!

 The view from our hotel! I was so excited that we could see the Matterhorn and Space Mountain from our hotel!

We love Disneyland! Can't wait to go back!!

All Day at Disney!!

 We were able to spend our last day of vacation at Disneyland! We went in early that day and stayed until the park closed! It was such a GREAT day!! We started off at Nemo's submarine- this was one of Cooper J's favorite rides!!

 Mickey Mouse ears...Buzz & Woody style!

 Having fun!

 We went on the steamboat-

 - and It's a Small World! Cooper wanted to climb right out of the boat on this one- he really liked all of the singing and dancing kids!

 We went to toon town - it was a little crazy! haha!

 And one of the highlights of the day was meeting Mickey!! I think the grown ups were as excited as the kiddos were! It was so fun!

 By the fountain in toon town!

 When we were walking back to the hotel Derek asked if he could hold his pirate sword, and he fell asleep like this! It was so cute!!

 Cooper J. also fell asleep on the way back to the hotel! Cute kids!

We had such a fun, FUN vacation- it really was just magical! We cannot wait to go back!! (Derek keeps asking me when we get to go to Disneyland again!  And a few days ago he said "Next time we go to Disneyland the first ride I'm going on is Spalsh Mountain!" He loved that ride!)
