Disneyland!

We decided that instead of getting Conor more toys for his birthday, we would take him to Disneyland instead.  It was a hugely successful trip.  We kept it a surprise, telling him that we were just going with daddy on a work trip.  When we got there, Grammy sherry had our hotel room decorated with fun birthday stuff and Papa Jay and Grandma Toni met us there.  Then we told him they we were actually at Disneyland.  He was so excited.  We spent the next 4 days going between the parks.  Conor loved all the rides, but especially the big scary ones... Tower or Terror was a huge hit.  :-). He also got to meet Thor!  

Norah's highlight were the Dumbo ride and meeting all the princesses...

Taekwondo

KConor had been doing taekwondo for awhile now at school, so we decided to enroll him at the actual studio for further training.  He loves it.  

Tiny Dancer

Norah has been taking dance classes since February.  It is freaking adorable.  The first 2 classes she just stood there and watched.  I was starting to think she wasn't ready yet when on the 3rd class she started moving and doing everything the teacher was doing.  She loves her "dance class".  :-)

Easter

We had a quiet but great Easter this year.

We colored eggs...

Then Chris and Conor set up camp in the backyard and spent the night out there.  Norah and I joined them for hobo dinners and s'mores.

The next morning the Easter bunny did not disappoint!  

 

Then we had a delicious dinner of smoked beer can chicken, potatoes and (lots of) watermelon.

Conor turned 5 yesterday and we made sure it was a good birthday...

Daddy woke him up early (3:30am!) to play his Avengers game uninterrupted for a couple of hours... Kid was in heaven!

Then his is breakfast of choice: chicken nuggets, chips, and a cupcake.

Then, we got dressed and went to the train park to play for awhile.

For lunch we had Chik-fil-a and the kids played at that playground for about 30 minutes before we had to get home for Norah's nap.

After naps it was time for presents.  

After some yard playing we sat down and had Totinos pizza and watched the first part of Thor.  Then we got out the cake!

After a bath Conor and mommy went out to the movies-we saw Home.

Next up is his party Saturday at Jump City with all his friends... Wish us luck...
