Vacation days 2 & 3

So Friday morning we got up early and made our way to Disneyland. Everything about Disneyland is magical. I totally love it. I was so excited to spend 2 days there watching the kids enjoy every second and it was magical...from their constant laughter to watching Kenzie sleep in the stroller as we kept moving along.
Oh...and there are tons of pictures but I want to make my blog into a book so I need all of my favorites in there.



















We started Saturday out with some big rides. Brenden and Hailey loved Screaming California and Rylie was really mad that she could not ride. Brenden, Hailey, and Rylie loved Space Mountain. I was worried that it might be to much for Rylie since it was so dark but she was beaming afterwards.


Totally enjoying some cotton candy!


We waited for quite awhile to get good seats for the light parade. The kids loved this. Rylie was really excited to see Pinokee-loo(that is how she says it). While we were waiting they danced in the street. It kind of surprised me since there were so many people watching them.

Dustin and Lindsey





This is us waiting to get good seats to watch Aladdin.



A great big thank you to Ray and Patti for a FABULOUS trip. It would not have been the same without you and we were thrilled that Nan was able to go. Thanks for all the memories that were made.

Our Cali Trip

Ok, so first of all we got a new camera so you can expect some new posts. And after we finally broke down and bought a new one, Jason found the charger to our old camera(in a place I swear I looked 5 times). We have had a great summer so far. Since my kids are only out of school for about 8 weeks I want to enoy every second I have with them. I really am enjoying them being home. And for those of you who know me... I am loving waking up to my kids and not to an alarm clock! Even if it is 6am...Brenden. Before school got out Jason's parents surprised us and told us they wanted to take everyone to Disneyland. We left Thursday morning, drove to the hotel and then we went to Huntington Beach. There is nothing my kids love more than playing in the water! It was a beautiful day, filled with tons of laughter. The kind that I wish I could bottle up and keep forever.







My Hottie...


We went back to the hotel and went swimming again!







It was a long but great day!! And Papa Ray would die if he knew I put up a picture of his hair messed up...so lets keep it hush hush.
Friday morning was our first day at Disneyland. I do not know who was more excited the kids or Grandma Patti. I will post more in the morning....

Happy Brithday Brenden!!

So this is a quick shout out for Brenden. His birthday was on the 9th. He is such a great, smart and funny kid. I cannot believe that he is already 9 years old. He grows everyday...and is seriously going to be taller than me before we know it. It seems like just yesterday, Jason and I were at the Diamondbacks game and it went a little like you would expect. Jason loving our awesome seats...paying attention to the game with all that he has. Me...well I am timing contractions, thinking about what is going to happen soon, so uncomfortable in those stadium seats, and for some reason I have a nervous calm about me. I remember it so clearly. So in the 7th inning, I told Jason that my contractions were 5 mins apart and we might have to leave the game early. He assured me that I would be fine and the game was almost over...to his defense we had already been sent home from the hospital(I hate those false alarms). Luckily for me contractions stayed the same...all night in fact. The next morning I went to the doctor and we were sent to the hospital. I can remember the exact feeling I had when I saw Brenden for the first time. Something that stays with a mother. He was perfect...cone head and all. I felt more happiness than ever that day. I wouldn't change it for anything. He always brightens my day in some way, he is such a good brother(especially to Kenzie). I love that he absolutely adores Jason and wants to be like him in every way. I love you Brenden..now stop all this growing would you???
Here are a few pics of him...I sure miss him being little!
Some of his favorite things...dirt bikes and the lake.



Who could forget when he bit completely through his tongue, broke his leg and broke his arm...all in year!



His third birthday at Disneyland...

The first day of Kintergarten....I was so sad, he was not.

And his most favorite thing today...his dog and best buddy!

We love you Bubba G!
