Oogie Boogie Bash...

We are so excited to finally be heading to Disneyland. We are so sad that Scott is not able to come with us because of his bad knee.  We did get Rosie and Caleb to take his place.  Wade did so good on the plane, in fact, the take off and landings would put him to sleep.
After we arrived we had some time to kill before we could check in, so we walked to a pizza place and got some lunch.  It was good.





We liked our hotel.  It was just a couple of blocks away so we just walked everywhere.  We were excited that we got tickets to the Oogie Boogie Bash.  Caleb took Scott's ticket.  I love my new shirt that I got from Etsy.  I thought it was cuter than the ones they were selling at the park.

We arrived at the park around 5:30.  We didn't have to wait too long to get in.  After we got in they gave us a bag to collect candy and a map.  When I was on the phone with customer service, the lady told me to do everything backwards and I think it really worked.  We rode all the rides 1st then got some tacos in San Fransokyo then we got some yummy ice cream at Cars Land.  Then we did the trick or treating.  It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.  We would walk through the lines with no wait and they would give us hands full of candy and then we got to see a villain.  We got to see Maleficent, Hades, Ernesto de la Cruz and Oogie Boogie himself.  We also walked through the haunted forest which was really cool.

We saw the last parade of the night which was fun.  Brady was wore out so the two of us sat on the street and waited for the parade to start while Kacie and Caleb went on the Monsters After Dark ride again.  This is the Guardians of the Galaxy ride that they changed for Halloween.  It was cool.






    
This villain, the Sheriff of Nottingham came right up to me and scared me he got so close. haha!





It was fun, but boy were we wore out.  We got up at 3:00 in the morning to catch our flight then went to the park until 11:00pm.  It was so worth it, haha!

My highlight of the day is when I get new pictures of Wade.  
He is so dang cute!

Mama's cute little helper.
I'm so happy these three got to see the Jonas Brothers' concert together.


Kacie needed some girl time.  I'm glad they had so much fun!

Scott's Knee & Wade...

Scott's neck and knee have been really sore this summer, but on Monday, when we went to town to get a treat for our 36th Anniversary, he could barely walk into the store.  Whatever happened, it took the pain to another level.  We did get a strawberry-rhubarb pie and ice cream, but we weren't able to celebrate much with his sore knee.  On Tuesday, he worked half a day, then went to see Dr. Paige.  He had to wait almost two hours to get in.  He gave him some anti-inflammatory meds and referred him to Jimmy Walker.  The next day Scott was able to see Jimmy, and they did an X-ray.  He said his knee looked really healthy for a 56-year-old, so he ordered an MRI so they could see the soft tissues.  All week Scott tried really hard to rehab it and stay off of it.  I would go out to the school and help him get his lesson plans ready for the next day.  

Late Saturday night, as he was lying in bed, he went to adjust his leg, and he heard something pop.  He then felt intense pain like he hasn't felt since he blew it out in football   He said it felt like a level nine out of ten, and he was not able to sleep all night.  He texted Jimmy to ask him what he should do.  He said he was on-call at the hospital and would call him on his way after church.  Jimmy's best guess was that he had a ruptured Baker's cyst.  He said they are very painful as all the fluid drains into the muscles and tendons.  He said the pain will last about two to three days.  We are so hopeful there is no other underlying condition and he can get back to work and we can still go to Disneyland in two weeks.  But he won't know until after his MRI.

I can't believe how big Wade looks in this picture.

Cole got this hilarious pacifier for Wade, too funny!
Wade loves to eat bananas through this cool device.
Wade has been a little clingy and fussy this week.  I'm pretty sure he is working on some more teeth.  He already got two on the bottom.
Sunday morning, I got this SnapChat...sure enough, he got another tooth coming in.
