Winner!

This big win is bitter sweet. Parker has been playing basketball for two years, Preston for three. For Preston basketball is life. He plays constantly, practices, works with coaches, goes to camps, you name it. Anything he can do to play, practice, have fun and get better he'll do. Parker just goes out and plays for fun. This year Parker's team went undefeated the entire season and won the championship. I loved watching him every step of the way, and I was so excited when they won. However, it was heartbreaking watching Preston. He wants it more, he works harder than his brother, and he is truly passionate about it. He was a good sport about it, but I could see how hard it was for him. I am proud of them both!
Thankfully this is the team trophy that will be displayed in the school. I don't want this thing sitting around needing to be dusted!

Our Trip & DIY Disney Shirts!

Finally! I'm sure you were all thinking we didn't really go to Disneyland! Well, we really did. We went on our usual trip flying out the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The weather was absolutely perfect, and we had a great time! The boys wanted Grandma Chickie to come with us this year so we brought her along. They had a blast! I don't think that most kids have hip Grannies that will ride all the rides with them. By far the highlight of our trip was Cars Land. Since we skipped going last year it was the first time we had seen it. We all fell in love with it and spent a lot of time there.

CARS LAND......

This was our first ride on Radiator Springs Racers. I think the picture tells you how much we loved it!
I made the shirts that the boys are wearing in this picture, but not mine or Travis's.
Heading into Disneyland. There is nothing like the feeling you get on Main Street, especially when it's decked out for Christmas!
These are some of the Disney shirts that I made for our trip and these are my favorites. I love the old original Disneyland sign from my childhood. If anyone is wondering, I made the design in PhotoShop, cut it out of freezer paper with my Silhouette Cameo then used Tulip fabric paint to paint them. Very easy!
I made these hoodies as well. Same process as the tee shirts I just used more paint colors.
I made these as well. Parker loves the writing on the back.
I love this picture. Seeing Goofy is always a highlight!
Tower of Terror is by far one of our favorite rides. We go on it countless times every time we are there.
We made the boys ride It's a Small World twice. They were dying! Totally not their thing. However, their mother loves it at Christmas so they had to suck it up!
More DIY Disney tee shirts.
Our last picture as we are getting ready to leave the park.
See ya next time Disneyland!
