John's Incredible Pizza

We took the boys to John's Incredible pizza to use up the gift certificate I won at our school's Make-A-Wish fundraiser raffle. We both thought it was going to be like Chuck-E-Cheese's but it was so much nicer and the food was actually really good. The boys had a really fun time and so did we.

First up was ski-ball (if that's how you spell it??) The boys liked it but had a hard time getting the ball to roll all the way up the ramp and actually make it into a hole. They did pretty good with our help of course. Dylan was just excited to get tickets...he didn't care how many just squealed with delight each time tickets came out :)

Dylan trying so hard to get more tickets...go, go, go, go, go......

Then they went to this roller coaster stimulator ride. Dylan didn't really want to ride because he thought it was an actual roller coaster. But after a little coaxing we got him to get on. We had to stand right next to him because he kept thinking he was really going up and around and up and down. Even when the ride went up on the stimulator he kept looking over the side, while holding on with his death grip, to see how high up he was...it was just cracking us up. After it was over he didn't want to go again...little stinker!!

Dylan smacking the sharks. He kept laughing every time the sharks came up...it was so funny. Of course he won more tickets!!

Smile boys ;)

Logan and daddy on the mini-coaster ride. It was nice, they were the only one's riding at the time.

Logan winning some dinosaurs too with the dino-grabber!! Thank god Logan won a dinosaur too or a fight might have broken out, hee-hee, haa-haa....

The day ended with us winning over 300 tickets and the boys getting some prizes to take home. It was a fun day with exciting games, good food and cool prizes...what more could we ask for!!

X-mas 2008

We all had a great X-mas. Santa came and he ate the cookies we left out and left lots of wonderful presents for the boys. Below are some pics of Christmas Day :)

Rise and shine. The boys were up at 6:30am X-mas morning but they played in the playroom for about an hour and let us all sleep in. Then the fun began, opening presents at 7:30am!!

Here are the boys sitting on their new bean bags from Santa infront of their stockings loaded with lots of good stuff. Say Cheese Dylan :)

Dylan just couldn't contain his excitement about his new big wheel. Now both boys have big wheels and can race around the backyard after each other.

Logan on his new BMX bike. Wow, I guess Santa wants Logan to start doing some tricks...my wild man!!

Logan just loves Wall-E and superheros....Santa's so smart ;)

Logan riding his new bike around the yard...Go Logan, GO!!!!!!!!

Dylan speeding after his big brother on his new big wheel. Watch out he'll get ya!!!!!!!

One of Logan's favorite gifts was his new Leapster 2. He got the Wall-E game, Backyardigans game and Go, Diego, Go game.

A picture of the whole gang over for X-mas Day. We had a blast. Merry Christmas everyone and have a great 2009!!!!!!

Los Gatos X-mas Parade

Well it's been a little while since I last blogged but I have lots of updates!! So get ready for some multiple days of new posts :) I have until Jan 5th off from work so I am trying to catch up on my blog and also scrapbooking...ugh!!!!!! First off we took the boys to the annual Los Gatos X-mas parade back in the beginning of December. As always they had a blast and loved every minute of the parade. It started at 11am and ended a little after 1pm...I could not believe the parade was over 2 hours long, but I guess with 265 groups it would take 2+ hours!!! Here are some cute pics from the parade...ENJOY!!

Here is Logan around 9am in the morning standing in the middle of the road on the parade route. I don't know exactly how long the route is but I am guessing a mile and a half, or maybe more. We got there around 8am to find a spot to set up camp and there was already a sea of chairs lining the sidewalk and we were lucky enough to find one of the last spots right near the judging station!! It's insane how early people get there to save spots...crazy people!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of our new house we bought while in downtown Los Gatos. It has 4 bedroom, 3 baths and is 2750 square feet...and all within a few blocks from the heart of downtown Los Gatos. I just love it so much and can't wait to move in!!!!!!!! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, just kidding, I wish we could afford this $1.3 million dollar house...I wonder who is going to come up with this kind of money in this economy?? Cute house though, huh??

We went for a walk before the parade started to keep the boys busy and look what we found, this really cool old time car. The man was nice enough to let the boys sit down so we could take a picture. Say Cheese :)

Well, let's see...we got there around 8am to set up camp and went to breakfast around 8:30am and by 9am we were done and the boys were getting restless. So we walked around and watched all the people and bands setting up for the parade but it was still only 10am and the parade didn't start until 11am so what to do?? Shopping!!!!!!!!!!! My mom and I did some shopping to kill some time and this is one of the cute pics that Patrick took while I was shopping away. The boys were so excited for the parade, look at those smiles.

The gang hanging out waiting for the parade to start.

The endless sea of people and chairs waiting. I still can't believe how many people come to this parade!!!

It's almost about to start...the boys anxiously waiting, and Dylan eating of course.

And here we go...the start of the parade!!!!!

The super cool awesome Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Pipes and Drums. This was one of the boys favorite parts.

Hey look it's rudolph the red nose firetruck...super cute!!!

Yummy, YUMMY, CB Hannegan restaurant float. I so wanted to run up and grab some delicious meat. You could smell them coming long before they went by. Oh, so GOOD.

Good old Hillbrook School. I went there from preschool through 8th grade!! Ah, the memories...

Super cool bikers doing tricks. Check out the sweet picture I snapped below. I caught the guy in mid-air doing his jump right infront of the judging station. The boys loved it!!!!

Shriner's trolley...cool :)

And now for the boys favorite part...the legendary Stanford University wild and crazy band!! Logan just loved them and when we got home he pretended he was in the band marching in the parade, going wild and crazy like they were!!

My sweet Dylan was getting tired watching the parade from the sidewalk so he decided to join me on my lap...my little love bug. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Finally after 2+ hours Santa Clause arrived on his sleigh from the North Pole. The boys had a really great time at the parade and until they get too old for the parade, I think we are going to make it an annual family tradition!!
