The Happiest Place on Earth...

It is true, we really did make the trek to Disneyland. We have so many pictures and I haven't wanted to sort through them all so I have just picked a few to share.

We took these three and made the long drive. They were all so good in the car - I am sure that with Tanner it would have been a different story. (Thanks again!)

These three also made the long drive and joined us at Mickey's place.

We rode rides like these that gave the largest smiles imaginable.

Met some big fuzzy Bears that would pound our heads and hug us so tight.

We got to ride the Matterhorn. They wouldn't let three go together so these two rode bravely together and I went by myself. It is crazy fast and it jerks you around, I was so nervous that they would hate it but they loved it and we did it again the next day! I was way proud of them.

Saw Peter Pan and his whole gang.

Rode the jumping horses.

Flew Rocket Jets.

Marveled at everything we saw.

Ate lunch on a train and traveled all the way back to the dinosaurs.

Met this pretty Lady, her husband, Jake, and Jackson on the last day at Disneyland. The boys sure love them...we do too!

Carter also set some new trends...I think it is catching on. ;0)

We love Captian EO!!

And we ended each marvelous day like this. It's how we roll in a hotel. I am a little nervous the boys will fall off, so we just put the whole mattress on the floor. They all slept great the whole trip, being in the Happiest Place on Earth is exhausting... It really was a fantastic time.

Water Days

On our trip to Disneyland, we also went to the beach and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Here are those pictures. The boys had the time of their lives at the beach. They even said that it was the best day of the trip! Marcus was hilarious and would shout out at the big waves... "Come to me big Papa!" No idea where he got that but it was funny.

Thanks All!

I have much to post but for now I want to thank the Grandma's for watching our little Tan Man. We left him with his Grandma's for a full week while the rest of us went to see this guy...

It really was SO hard to leave this smiley, drooling, happy-go-lucky boy! They really grow fast when they are this little. I now can't get enough of him!

He was spoiled by all. We left him with the Grandma's but was not only loved by them. Grandpa's, Uncles, Aunts, and even neighbors of Grandma Kathie adored our little boy!

Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. It was nice to know that he was in the best care possible. I know he had a fantastic time with each of you. We love you, and thank you all!

*Since we have come home he can now officially sit-up for more then a second. Thanks again!

A Quick Recap

Well as you all know I have been doing a very poor job at keeping this blog up to date. A lot of wonderful things have been going on. I have decided instead of going back through everything I will give you a quick recap of the happenings in the Lee family in no particular order.

First off, some of us are a year older...

Marcus turned 5 years old. He was so excited about turning 5 and even got to go skiing on his birthday. He is a great skier and LOVES it!

Ty got to go along this year as well and was quick to catch on but actually got a little bored of it...

Tyson also turned 4 and is getting a little too excited to grow up. Don't worry though they still do a lot of kids stuff...

Such as playing Peter Pan

Marcus plays the flippin', flappin', flyin' Peter Pan.

Tyson plays the Killin' Captian Hook.

And Carter is Smee. He is hard at work keeping up the ship. (I love his little tongue sticking out, it reminds me of my brother.)

Peter Pan and Hook finally stopped fighting just to teach this little man how to fight. (They

LOVE Tan Man)

We had some great visitors. Spencer and Alicia came just for fun, and fun we did have! Spencer and Brian went skiing while Alicia and I played with the boys. They even watched the boys while Brian and I went out. The boys sure love them. We found out they they are going to be giving our little boys a cousin! We are so excited for them.

Christmas came:

And, Christmas went.

But not before we all got a little wiser.

Happy Halloween!

This past weekend was so much fun! I have been a bit of a slacker on blogging but I couldn't pass up Halloween with these fun boys: I honestly couldn't get enough of them! Everything they did I wanted to cement in my brain, these ages are the best! I insist on doing pumpkins each year even though our boys aren't old enough to carve them...which means that Brian does them all! He really isn't a fan of Halloween but I tell you these boys can get him to do anything.

Marcus had waited for a while to get to wear his costume...we all got the stomach flu and he didn't get to go to his preschool Halloween Party. He was such a good sport about it, and didn't even complain. Once we got him all ready to be Batman, he was really saving the whole city of Eagle!

Tyson was going to be superman but once he found out that superman didn't get any face paint he decided Batman was the man to be, besides I think he knew that his best friend would need some help.

Carter has been loving anything to do with Toy Story so we thought it would be appropriate for him to be a cowboy. I know Woody doesn't have such a good lookin' goatee but honestly could he get any cuter!

Last but not least is Tan man! My grandma got Carter this fun Halloween outfit and he never got to wear it so Tanner was a little pumpkin bum. Halloween is so much fun with four little guys running around. Marcus and Tyson were so much fun to watch. They have been dumping out their loot out every chance they get, but my favorite was the first time they dumped it all out and their faces...yep Halloween is good.

Tanner Michael Lee

Please Welcome Tanner Michael Lee!

He was born August 4, 2010

weighing 6lbs 9oz and 183/4 inches long, the boys were pretty good at making sure he had all his fingers and toes...he does.

They were all excited to hold him.Beaming brother Marcus

Big T and little t.

Tyson is really excited that Tanner's name also starts with the letter t. He is already calling him little t.

Carter is mostly not interested, but we did capture this brief moment of brotherly love.

Now we are officially a family of six...CRAZY!! Tanner is such a sweet little boy and the boys LOVE having another brother.

Busy!

A lot of things have been happening in Brian's Family that have been a whole lot of fun. Two of Brian's siblings have recently returned from their missions. Maryn got back from Mongolia, and Richard got back from Argentina. It has been so nice to have everyone home. It had been a long time since we were all together and it was a great reunion, but that is not all...Spencer, Brian's brother also got married! We are so excited to have Alicia in our family! They are so great together! We had a wonderful time celebrating with them too. It is always fun to have a reason to dress up the boys and have them all lookin' good! Okay so maybe we didn't always have their shirts tucked in...and we didn't always make them stay in their seats, but we really did have a GREAT time! The day after the wedding we got the opportunity to go on the boat. The boys loved it! Our whole family took a ride together on this huge tube. And Brian finally got to go wakeboarding. It is probably the only time he'll get to this year. I didn't get any pictures but trust me he can still fly over the wake. It is fun to watch my man!

We also got to spend a little time with my family too while celebrating my 26th birthday with my twin Jill and my youngest brother Jackson. He got this huge slide last year for his birthday and it was fun then, but it was even better this year since my boys actually dared to climb the wall and go down the slides. They even did some wakeboarding/kneeboarding of their own.

They really are best friends! I love it!

Jake (my brother)got together flag football that even included three year olds. He sure knows how to make my boys feel good!

Here is the birthday clan! I love sharing my birthday!

Being busy has really been so much fun, but we are ready to be home until the baby comes. I guess everyone will have to come see us now. Love you all!
