Disneyland 2011

So we just took a trip for 10 days to Disneyland at the beginning of this month. We had so much fun together. It has been forever since we have had time to spend as a family, and we got 10 whole days of it! We got to go with my sister Katie, her husband Jeff, and there 2 cute kids, Chloe and Kyle. My Mom also came for 5 of the days, but my Dad isn't a huge fan of Disneyland and stayed home. We had so much fun, we got to spend 3 days in Disneyland/ California Adventure. For Christmas we got a week at my parents timeshare from them. It was so nice to have that taken care of! We got to go to the beach, fun breakfast's and dinners, swim, and just spend some much needed family time! Josi had so much fun, and was so star struck by all the characters, but mostly by the princesses. Ariel was the funniest, Josi was speechless! So the "Josi" girl always manages to make us laugh, here are some of her funny comments while in California. We asked her what her favorite ride was and she said the bus! Yes the city bus is the best ride ever! She kept telling us that the garmin was the teacher "Daddy, the teacher said turn left!" She is so silly! Jake was a dream as always! He was just as content as ever to be carried around by his dad in the Bjorn. He is such a great little baby, he was charming all the people standing in line with us. He would just start smiling at people and had them melting in his hand! Between Josi the chatter and Jake the charmer we made all sorts of new friends! We had so much fun and I hope we get to go again soon!

Josi and Tinkerbell



One of the highlights of the trip for us was eating at Ariel's Grotto.
Josi is probably the pickiest eater ever! She worked on a chart trying new foods, and eating good to earn this Breakfast. She was sooooo star struck, it was funny to watch her! I loved the character breakfast's!
This was funny, the Queen from Alice just walked right up to Jake and was so cute to him!

Josi and Fairy God Mother!

This is us at Minnie's Kitchen






Our day at Balboa Beach!


It was so fun, we got to put our car on a ferry for $3 and
go over to the beach on an island!

poor Jake in Josi's pink stroller!




We got to go to a Pirate dinner!


Josi LOVED Rapunzel and "Eugene"
That's what she calls him!
She asked him to do his smolder!


Caleb in his height of glory!
Both kids fell asleep standing in line for the Aladdin show!

Josi was so excited to see all the princesses!




Jake is his regular spot!


Jake and Grandma Sue!


Could he be any cuter!


It was in the 90's in Disneyland, so
we got a thin blanket wet to try and keep Jake cooled down!


Josi just had a Jessie party, and was so excited to see her!









My cute Mom surprised us and took us all to Goofy's Kitchen! It
was by far the best of the character dining! Thanks Mom!







I forgot to tell something so cute! While in Disneyland some of the workers came up tp us ans asked if they could take Josi's picture to put it up on small world. Disneyland has started a new thing where they take pics of people throughout the day and at night they play music and pictures from the day up! Josi was a star and was shown 2 times! What a fun trip we had!

Jake 5 months old!

So our little Jake will be 5 months old in just a few days! He is such a great little baby!I dont know why we have been so lucky to have such great kids! Right now he is almost 16 pounds and still growing! He sleeps through the night and is such a happy going kid! He rolls really well from tummy to back and is trying hard to master rolling from back to tummy. He seems like he will be sitting up soon. He is sooooo strong and has great leg control! It is sooooo cute because he watches Josi all day. If he can hear her in the room he will try as hard as he can to see her! He can get laughing harder at her than anybody! The other day we were at walmart and Caleb was holding Josi up to the shopping cart to see Jake and they were just laughing and laughing at each other. It is those moments that make being a mom so rewarding! Josi is such a fantastic big sister who ios always so willing to help her little brother. Just today I layed Jake on the floor and was about to change his diaper and without even asking Josi brought me a diaper and wipes for him. She is always putting his binki in and is always looking out for him. It is so fun to be a mom and I am so grateful to get the chance!








































This little guy is so cute! I truely am the luckiest mom ever!
