Celebrating Big Boys Birthday

When we got back from our trip we had a little get together for Cannon's birthday. The family came over and so did Sandy and Kash. Since Cannon loves Minions my mom made an amazing cake!! 

Cannon wanted so badly to touch the cake

When everyone started signing Cannon got really bashful and put his head down

Mr. Shy Guy came out

Hiding in the couch. Where is Cannon?

Uncle Ben is awesome!

It was a fun party! I love my little 2 year old! He is getting so big, so fast. He makes me laugh, smile, my heart melt and also makes me pull my hair out. He is definitely making me know that I am done having kids, and he wants to be the youngest. I LOVE HIM!!!

Driving Home

One last look at Universal from our room before heading home.

On the way home we make a stop in Sacramento to have lunch with my sister and Devin. It was good to see them and see my sister prego!

We made it as far as we could the first day and ended up in Grants Pass in Oregon. It was about a 6 1/2 drive the next day. The kids did really well and they were all troopers! It was a really fun trip and I was glad we actually pulled it off!

Universal Last Day

Cannon was ready for our last day at Universal!

These Transformer guys were hilarious!! One talked and would say funny things to people. I could sit there all day and watch them. People would pose for a picture with them and they would take off someones hat or mess with their shirt etc. The boys didn't really know what to think. They were kind of freaked out.

On the last day we went down to the lower level. There was a kids area down there. The boys enjoyed running around. Kaiya and Cirdan went on a ride so we stayed here for a bit.

We did the Transformers a couple times. It was just too good to pass up.

Fun ride. I am torn. I love the Simpson Ride but this is either a tie or a tad not as good. I haven't decided yet.

In the picture above,  Jett got a chance to meet Megatron.  We waited for a few minutes before he came out, and asked questions like, "is Megatron nice, is he a good guy?"  Jett was nervous when we went up to him, which is expected because he's huge and scary looking.  Jett was fine until Megatron asked Jett if he was going to help him defeat the Autobots.  Jett looked to me for the answer and I told him to say no.  Jett said no and Megatron scared Jett to death.  He roared and yelled at him and acted like he was going to grab Jett.  Jett screamed at the top of his lungs and the crowd around, myself included, couldn't help but laugh.  He calmed down and when we were walking away, I told him to say "see you later sucker", which he did.  Megatron got ticked again but was too far away to reach him.  The crowd laughed again, so it ended well.
I got a cookie for Cannon to try to make him happy but he wanted nothing to do with it

It was so hot. We were sitting in the shade but Kaiya still needed to cool off

The girls were outside! They were playful and would mess with the kids.

We left to go take a break at the hotel and they were filming Extra again with Mario Lopez

Jett was looking at the map telling us where to go

Went back and played some games

The kids won a lot of stuffed animals

When she realizes that I am taking pictures of her

Back on a bus

Cirdan, Taryn and Ella went on the studio tours. 

Ella wanted cotton candy all week and finally got some the last day

Kaiya spilled all of her popcorn on the red carpet. Awkward!

We walked on City Walk and got some yummy treats our last night. I had been eyeing them all week.

Another adventure/memory for the books!
