Summer Lovin'!

We've had QUITE the crazy summer this year! Here are a few of our highlights:

1. We found out we're expecting a new little addition (another BOY!!) on Decemeber 21st! Johnny will be barely 3, and Zach turns 2 on Dec. 28th. Needless to say, it's going to be a very exciting Christmas this year!

2. We took our family to Disneyland (my first time) the beginning of June. It was absolutely one of the best weeks of my life! We took our niece and nephew with us to help with the boys, and it was just a blast. Here's a look at our adventures:
 
Johnny played peekaboo with Silvermist on our way to meet Tinkerbell!
  
Johnny was in heaven.

Tinkerbell!


In front of the Tiki Room - which was actually Zach's favorite, although you'd never know it by this picture.


*Some of my favorite moments from Disneyland:
                      - Johnny throwing a muffin at Sadie's face while she was dead asleep in the hotel room.
                      - Pregnant me running back and forth across the street 4 times in a row to find a dropped pin in the road. Those Disney pins are spendy, so it was well worth all the cars having to wait for me! ;)
                      - Watching the World of Color, Fantasmic, and the parades! AMAZING!
                      - Eating. Hey, I'm pregnant, and the food was awesome.
                      - The rides! Duh! The boys' favorite was Winnie the Pooh, which we would ride like 6 times in a row until the boys fell asleep. Johnny called the ride "Poop" and would beg for it all through the park. :)
                      -Carrying around a parasol for my awful sunburn. Princess right here!
                     
I got to see the ocean for the first time!

  
We stopped on our way through to take pictures at the beautiful Las Vegas Temple!



3.  We took a week off and went camping for the annual Anderson Family Reunion at the beginning of August. Our boys were absolute mudballs, even with daily baths. They had a blast though! And so did Paul and I.
Johnny LOVED hiking!
         I do have to say that we got off to a rough start to our trip. Our first evening there, we got out to stretch our legs and locked our keys in the van! BAH! We didn't have any spares, both our phones were in the van, and we hadn't unpacked anything but ourselves. The boys had just sat in the creek for the first time, so they were drenched and muddy with no extra clothes or diapers. As we were circling the van to see if ANY of the doors were unlocked, Zach came around the corner eating what I assumed to be chocolate. It wasn't. It was MOOSE POOP (and I'm not even kidding). I couldn't make this stuff up. 
      Needless to say, thank heaven for families! After a fervent prayer for help, my uncle came over and unlocked the door with a hanger. It took him an hour and a half, blessed man! Our adventures never stop, and neither do our answered prayers.

Well, that pretty well covers the biggest moments of our summer. I hope you all had great ones too!
