Carsland!

We have SO enjoyed being able to get Disney annual passes the past couple of years and were really excited to have a couple of weeks left on our passes when we got back home to CA. ESPECIALLY since the California Adventure updates were finished over the summer and we hadn't seem them yet including the most exciting part: Carsland!!  Elliott loooooves the movie Cars ... he has seen it dozens of times and they did a great job making Radiator Springs come to life!  We snuck in 2 visits before our passes expired, so here is a slew of photos from both visits:

Flo's V8 cafe:

The Radiator Springs Racers are a little too big and fast for us, but still fun to watch!

Meeting Red:

Our favorite part ~ the Cozy Cone Motel!  Each cone is like a little food stand with different snacks ~ churro bites, flavored popcorn, ice cream, chili "cone" queso, etc!

Elliott's FAVORITE part of the movie ~ the tractors!  If only the combine came, I think his life would feel complete!

The Christmas decor is so fun ~ our attempt at family photos with the hubcap tree:

On the main road of Radiator Springs:

And someone got his first tooth this week ... can you tell he is teething!?!

Elliott also saw Monsters Inc for the first time over the summer so he loves that ride now too (and so does Adam!):

With the train Christmas tree!

Trio

These guys ... back in action.  2/3 of this "show" weren't super willing, but the show must go on!!

And, a little glimpse of our new place and all the unpacking we still have to do!

... and Elliott

A little something of Elliott too ...

First new house shoot

I loooove the aesthetics in our new house ... dark floors, white textured walls, and lots of great natural light.  Mmmmm ... yummy!  I knew it was only a matter of time until the impromptu photo shoots began.  Today was the first ... Winston looked so handsome as I was changing his diaper that I had to snap a few.  Love this baby!!

He also took a few steps today while pushing a basket across the floor!

Winston: 7 Months

Whew ~ what a month!  After weeks and weeks of struggling with eczema, Winston crying lots, hives, etc., we decided to have some allergy testing done and found out he is allergic to eggs, milk, and dustmites.  It has been a tough few weeks but we are happy to have some answers and be moving forward!  We can definitely tell a difference in the short few weeks that Winston and I have altered our diet.  Looking forward to happier, healthier days ahead!

Winston is crawling and pulling up wherever he'd like, and starting to get into trouble with stairs, outlets, etc.  He just started changing his coo's to babbles which is fun, and has started to wave "bye-bye".  He also plays games like trying to give you his paci then grabbing it back which is so much fun, and is eating 2 baby food meals a day.

I haven't even had time to talk about this but today we are officially moving to Los Angeles from Orange County.  It's going to be a big transition for us.  We have been in Nashville for 3 months, and Adam has been in LA the past week choosing an apartment for us and moving our stuff in.  Me and the boys fly in tonight to a new house that we've never even seen!  Hoping to post more about this soon, but hoping for a smooth transition for us all.
