Disneyland continued..

I love Disneyland.  I could spend days there and have an amazing time.  Our last trip was 2 days at Disneyland and one day at Legoland.  Here are some photos from our trip.
 Austin would not take his eye's off Goofy.  He was mesmerized.
 Jasmin and Aiden on the Storybook Boat.
 Dad was not interested in waiting in line, so he and Austin stayed out and watched.
 Our cute family!













 Taylor loved her little spa experience.  She sat perfectly for the make-up artist to get her face paint.  It was the highlight of her trip.


 Austin was such an amazing guy on this trip. 
 Thad and the kids loved the star wars exhibit.  I think we have at least 50 picture of them.


Hollywood Walk of Fame

I have finally downloaded my pictures from California.  I had over 400 pictures on my camera.  I promise not to show them all.  The first day of our trip was at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  My goal was to find a star that had the kids names.  We found a Taylor but that was it,  Aiden's name is too new to be a a star yet.
Here we are in front of the Chinese Mann Theatre.  This was the first time anyone of us have been to Hollywood Boulevard.  It was a lot of fun.
 Taylor standing on her own star.  She was a more excited to see Tinker Bell's star.

The girls at Hard Rock Cafe.


We did not find Aiden's star, but he was happy with R2D2's foot prints.

The crazy boys!

California Sun

Most babies hate grass, cement and sand, Not Austin! He is the most easy going baby ever.



Of course, Aiden and Taylor had fun at the beach as well.

Disneyland 2011

Last week Aiden had school off for spring break.  We decided to spend the entire week in California.  It was amazing!!  We were able to visit Hollywood, Disneyland, Legoland and the beach.  The kids were great the whole trip and we all had a lot of fun.   

 Aiden was big enough to go on the roller coasters.  He loved Space Mountain!! He was a little too short for California Screaming, but next year.
Austin was a little overwhelmed by Disneyland, but did really well.

 
 We spent over 28 hours at Disneyland and walked over 17 miles.


 Above the changing tables at Disneyland are rolls of toilet paper.  Austin's favorite thing was to unroll them as fast as he could before I finished changing his diaper.  He did pretty well..

Easter

 This Easter we had an Easter egg hunt at Nana's with all the cousins.  Everyone loved it.  Austin only wanted a few eggs and then he was happy.
 Taylor completely filled her Ladybug basket and then borrowed another basket from Nana.

 The three boy cousins ran around together the entire time and had so much fun.
Happy Easter!

Taylor's Fourth Birthday - Family Party

 Our kids have been getting two birthday parties, one is a family party with just us, and a friend and big family party combined.  This year Grandma JuJu and Papa Cord joined us for Taylor's family party. 

Taylor could choose whatever she wanted for dinner and she wanted butterflies.  She had seen this recipe in one of our books, so we had butterfly hot dogs. 
 We had a good time and opened a few presents.  Of course she was spoiled by her grandparents.  Cord made this bank for her to keep her money in.  She has been looking forward to getting this for a long time.  Aiden has one too and she loves it.  It is made out of an old post office box door.


We are very proud of our little girl.  I can hardly believe she is four years old.  I remember holding her at the hospital for the first time and being so overjoyed.

 She loves little princess dolls.  When we were in Disneyland we bought all the dolls she did not have and a castle to go with it.  It is her favorite toy to play with. She carries them everywhere.
Her second favorite thing to pay with is Barbie.  Jasmin gave her a bride and groom barbie and ken.  She was in heaven.
