Jared's Birthday Trip to D-Land!

Last Friday we went to Disneyland.  But this was an extra special trip, because Jared has NEVER been to Disneyland with Caleb and Isabelle.    Yeah, I know, crazy.  So since he was able to get in free on his birthday, we decided it was high time he got to experience Disneyland with his kids. :)  We got his b-day button at City Hall, and we were off.  

Posing on Main St.

Belle was super excited to have Daddy with us, and was ready to show him the sights.

Isabelle's favorite spot to be.

I've never stood in the line to meet Tink before, always way to long, but the lines were really short that day, so Belle got to meet one of her favorite characters.  She loved it.

 

My mom came along, so some adult rides were went on also.  Here they are on Thunder Mountain while I sat off with the kids.

Jared and I outside of the Jungle Cruise.

We switched parks (Jared decided to upgrade his free entry in to a pass, woo-hoo!!!) and Caleb requested Daddy take him on Mulholland Madness, a ride he had never gone on.  It was a bit more then he thought it would be, but my mom and I had a blast watching his face as they whipped around and went down the drops.

In line for the Toy Story Midway Mania.  I love my cute girl!  She got those beads in New Orleans Square from the street performers and wore them the rest of the day, even slept in them!

Belle's Hair and Funny Sleeping Positions Part 2

We had some fun with Isabelle's hair yesterday.  She loves having ribbon in her hair, so I'm always looking for new styles to work with her super thin super fine hair.  This one took us about 20 minutes, and she loved it.  A big plus was it stayed in all day, which never happens, cause she always pulls her hair out, but she liked this one.  We started out with it in ponies, but she has been having issues with little ends on her neck, she scratches at them pretty heavily, so I twisted them into little buns, and I think it turned out even cuter that way!  

And just to continue, she fell asleep in another crazy position last night.  Her head is literally hanging off the couch, and her legs are all scrunched up tight.  She is a funny girl.  And I do put her in her bed, but lately she has been fighting us, so either we put her screaming in bed, or we let her sit with us and she falls asleep peacefully on her own.  Luckily, she is not a night owl, so even with letting her stay up, she still fell asleep at 8:30pm.  Love my crazy girl.

Saturday Afternoon Naps!

Just some cute pictures of Jared and Isabelle enjoying a 

Saturday afternoon nap together.

Is it Bad That I am Jealous of my Little Girl?

I can only sleep in my bed.  Not in cars, trains, or planes.  Never sitting up.  Only laying in bed.  So how did she do it?  Cause to tell you the truth, I'm a bit jealous.  I wish I could fall asleep in any position, anywhere, like she can...

And to keep facetime on the blog equal, here's a picture of Caleb enjoying a meal 

prepared by his favorite chef, Chef Boyardee!

I think Isabelle needs a better social life...

So after re-making Isabelle's bed this afternoon and putting all her animals back in their spots at the foot of the bed, she followed me out and asked, "take a picture of my friends?"  Can a girl ever love her stuffed animals too much?

Free Ice Cream and Playing in the Fountains, Does it Get Any Better Than This for Two Little Kids?

So since it was 100 degrees today, we decided to head out for some fun time playing in the fountains at Victoria Gardens and get some free ice cream from Ben & Jerry's.  The kids had a great time playing in the water and really loved their ice cream afterwards.

The water would vary in where it would come out and the different strengths.  The kids loved it, although I saw one little baby get soaked when one of the little fountains on the outside suddenly squirted right up into his face!

Isabelle was a little more cautious about the water then Caleb.

Caleb was all over, running, jumping, and getting soaked.

Belle getting a little braver.  Caleb was able to get her to go through the center and get soaked. 

Caleb saw me about to take his picture so he decided to pose.  At least, thats what I think he's doing.  Or maybe he's just letting his inner monkey out.

All done!  Time to dry off and get ready for ice cream!

Caleb got mint chocolate chip (the ONLY kind of ice cream in his mind) and Belle was her typical self and couldn't have cared less what was in her ice cream, as long as it was pink or purple.  She ended up with Mixed Berry Sorbet.

Yummy!

My goofy girl, who refused to eat her cone, but still wanted to get that ice cream inside of it.  So I gave her my spoon and she went to work!!  Got it all out too, but never touched that cone.

Birthday Party and Two Easter celebrations!! Wow, what a weekend!

Well we had a CRAZY weekend!!  We started off with my nephew's 6th birthday party at a really fun place called FunCity, followed immediately after by Easter at my in-laws, and then we spent the night at my parents house and went to church with them, before having Easter with my side of the family that afternoon.  We had a great time though!  We only had two problems the entire weekend, one minor, one a little more major.  First, the camera battery died at the birthday party, so it was recharging during our first set of Easter festivities, so although my in-laws got lots of picture, we don't have any. :(  Problem number two, Caleb decided to get sick on Easter Sunday.  So he spent the afternoon throwing up and laying on my parents couch.  He worked up a little energy off and on to look at his basket and search for some eggs, but overall, not a very fun time for him.  Luckily he was back to himself the next morning.  So lots of pictures coming up, enjoy!

Isabelle was a little worried she was going to run into Daddy.

Climbing up to slide down

Come on down Caleb!

Tag Team!

In Grandma's big tub that night!  The battery finished 

charging just in time for some bathtub pictures!

Look at all those bubbles!!  Isabelle did not like having 

the jets on, but it sure made the bubbles get big!

Ready for church the next morning!

I took about 20 pictures of them together, and I think this one came out the best!

This one is pretty cute too!

Caleb with his basket.  You can see he wasn't feeling to great by the lack of color in his face.

My little goofball who refused to wear her pants.

Hunting for Eggs!

Luckily, each child got 6 eggs, or Caleb would've lost.  He was the last one to find his eggs.

Ending the day with a bath with cousin Logan.  He was a little dirty 

and Belle decided to just climb on in with him.
