Spoiled much??

I'm pretty sure we are creating a monster. We can't help ourselves not to spoil him. I'm sure it won't be so cute when he's six. :) Marc booked us a trip to Disneyland on a whim. I didn't mind one bit. We had such a good time. Jude was so good about all the lines. I couldn't count how many times we heard "ride it" and "roller coaster" It was love at first ride. 

He loved the Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc ride. He loves to scream and try to scare us like a monster. 

Last time we were at Disneyland Jude was a little too short to ride the roller coaster. This time he was officially tall enough. Jude loved it. He is such a speed demon. We must have rode this roller coaster 20 + times. 

Some rides were a little scary. But he just clung to Daddy and then loved it. 

Lots of waiting in lines. Jude did really good and was pretty darn patient. 

Daddy helped pass the time waiting in line. 

Loved the tree house. 

Mmmmmmm...

He loves carousels. He was petting this whale and Thanking it for taking him on a ride. 

Family pics

Gotta love Disneyland naps. 

Watching the parades. 

We got some cotton candy that almost caused a melt down when we tried to pick it off the stick. 

My prince charming

We rented a car and drove down to Sea World. Jude did pretty good. He was a little fidgety after the drive down. But Mommy and Daddy were loving the killer whales.  

We had to stop off at our favorite place. San Clemente. 

Very worn out from all the fun...

one more skiing video....

....Because he's just that awesome. 

Is it winter, spring or summer....

aside from the freak weather we are having, we are having so much fun. One minute we are bundled with hats and coats, the next a swim suit and flip flops. Jude is so silly and is literally talking non stop in full sentences. He can recognize the majority of his ABC's. He's a smarty. I'd love to see him in preschool if he's ever leave my side. He's my little partner in crime. 

Some day I am going to miss this sweet scene. Jude loves to walk Sundance. 

Jude-o and his daddy. Every free second Daddy has is spent doing something silly. 

I love this. It is just so little boy. 

He hands his hands in his pockets a lot lately. I think it is super adorable. 

Then a preview of summer came and we took advantage and got water out and everything. 

Jude is in loooove with bugs. He followed this fly around for about 30 minutes. 

This is his attempt to hug the fly after several kisses. 

Then back to winter. I wanted to take Jude up skiing on more time before the snow was gone. I am so glad I did. He got even better. Maybe it had something to do with his crazy daddy being there to motivate him. 

We took Jude out on a date Friday night. We got some yummy food and Monsters Inc in 3D just happened to be playing at the theaters. It was so meant to be. 

We let Jude pick out a candy and he was really good to wear his special glasses.

Once again...Daddy is testing the laws of gravity and Jude loves to be his guinea pig. 

My little skiier

It was really hard to get a video of Jude skiing. This is the best I got. It sounds like he wasn't loving it in this video. I was sending him the opposite direction then where he wanted to go.

My Baby Boy

Jude-o! Your parents are so smitten with you. We often sit and talk about how cute we think you are and discus the silly things you do and say. Your daddy would do anything for you. If you find an interest in something. Your daddy is suddenly just and interested and is on a mission to find everything that has to do with your latest love affair. He adores you. I love watching you two wrestle when he gets home from work everyday. You two have a darling relationship and your bond literally gets stronger everyday. Your momma is a sucker for you too. We have so much fun together everyday. I love showing you new things and taking you around to explore. You are such a tender, sweet little boy and I could snuggle you in my arms forever. 

Being silly visiting the girls I used to work with. 

You looove Sundance and are almost constantly messing with her. But learning to be really soft with her too. 

You love to go sledding. You spend hours going up and down. 

So sweet! I never want to forget these days. 

Mr Miami. Daddy brings you home a souvenir from every work trip. This shirt is your latest. 

You love to help out with everything. 

You love the new undies I picked out. Now if Mommy can teach you how to wear them. 

No one can make a mess like you.

This looks like some crazy guy you'd find hunting with his bare hands in the wilderness.

We took my sweet nephew out for a farewell dinner the other day. He leaves to join the few, the proud...The Marines. We are so proud of him.  We'll miss him like crazy and we appreciate his sacrifice. 

We still like spending time at Thanksgiving point.

Lately Jude has been doing this funny thing with his hands. He gets so excited and tells me his hands are hugging. He holds his hands like this for several minutes and repeats to me "Hands hugging!"

SKIING

on a whim the other day I rented some skis and took Jude up to Sundance. He looooved it. I pretty much spent the morning just pulling him around. He was loving the idea of it though. 

Stopping to eat some snow

Cooling down with a snack in the fridge after skiing. 

After nap time and lunch we headed out for some more skiing. This time we just went up American Fork Canyon and skied on the cross country trail. It was perfect for him. And he was actually skiing on his own.
