Leaves Are Falling

The leaves are falling, and our trees are growing big enough that we have to rake up leaves... And what else do you do with a big pile of leave? That is right... so after a bunch of jumping in the leafs, Noah dragged mom into the pile with him.

-Pretty sure that I’m not passing this along… well, I might throw this at Erin’s family… Nah… I’m done… Back to family stuff, pretty sure people come to this blog-thing to check up on the kids and see what Erin’s up to… I’m definitely the minority guy blogger around when it comes to family blogs.

I promise that the next blog will be about something other than me! :)

Disneyland Trip

We went with Erin's family to the happiest place on earth this week! We left late Tuesday with Brent and his family and met Jana and Becky and their families along with Grandma & Grandpa Bigelow Wednesday morning. Elijah didn't want to go to sleep so Erin and I were only running on 4 hours of sleep our first day there!! Fun fun fun! It was nice to get away from work and school for just a couple of days. Noah really had so much fun. He LOVED all of the roller-coasters! Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad... Splash Mountain, not so much. :)

Here you can see Noah holding up his sign trying to get chosen to participate in the Jedi training... He did get chosen... but wasn't quite ready to try this without dad, maybe next year. Erin asked Dennis to take some pictures, he randomly started taking pictures... When I asked Erin about all of these random pictures she had to explain, here is 1 of 6 that he took. Alexah did Eli's hair... We always get our picture taken here in California Adventure... 1st time it was just Erin and I... the next one had Noah... and now we've got Elijah here with us.
