Dining with character

Last night we went to a character dinner at Disneyland. We went with Grandma and Grandpa Ward, Josh, Kathy and Kash. The boys enjoyed the food, dancing with the characters and taking pictures. The boys loved goofy!

They didn't know who Cinderella was but they posed anyway.

They along with Kash Love Minnie.

James' favorite was the ice cream. He enjoyed the cone but loved watching the ice cream come out of the machine even more.

His trademark is eating the bottom of the ice cream filled cone first. BOYS! They can make a mess out of anything!

Embarrassing

Embarrassing is all I can say. The boys never want to leave home without their sunglasses! Even though I tell them they are goggles, they insist they are their sunglasses and they need them. I can't wait till they are going to their senior prom. Jason and I will wear our own pair when their dates arrive! But the looks people give us wherever we go is fun. Thomas wears both pairs James is on the bottom with one pair.

Welcome Home

Jason finally made it home today safe and sound. It's nice to have my husband back. The boys were so happy words cannot express the joy when Jason walked through the door. The boys had their first sports class. They learned basketball skills today. They learned defense, how to dribble, pass, shoot and block. Next week they get to learn baseball skills, followed by football and soccer. I'll have Jason take pictures when he takes them to their class next week.

Faces

Thomas' new thing is face making. Enjoy the Pictures. Update on Jason. He is still not home. They are keeping him and his crew around in case the winds cause the fire to get out of control. The boys and I miss him terribly but the good news is he is safe and he should be home by Monday. We hope it is sooner though.

Still putting out flames

I just talked to Jason and he is 12 hours into his 24+ hour shift. He should hopefully get a sleeping break around 12:00 tomorrow and he will call me back then. They are on a mountain ridge right now putting out hot spots. He said they will be there all night. The wind has died down and they are hoping that it stays that way. I will update as I hear more. Thanks for the kind comments and phone calls.

Fire

Keep Jason in your prayers as he is up fighting the wild fires in Santa Barbara. He left yesterday. What I learned was they fight the fire for 12 hours and then get 12 hours rest. When I was watching the news they said no one was taking a break, so maybe they will work longer than that. As for days away. They can keep him for 14 days before he is sent home. Hopefully he will be home sooner than that. I will write more when I hear more but keep his safety in you prayers. Thanks.

Train Ride

Today Grandma and Grandpa took the boys to the mall. They got to ride on a train which inspired us to pull out their train set and let them ride around the backyard. Let the good times roll.
