Disneyland/California Trip 2011

I apologize but these pictures are not in order and I don't have time to fix it. I wanted to post some pictures of our trip to California this year. It was so much fun, and such a special trip for our family. We were able to be at our niece Jeannie's baptism. It was so nice and peaceful there, and we are so proud of her for making the decision to be baptized.

The beginning of our trip started with Disneyland!! WE all had a blast. We went to Disneyland for 3 days but stayed in the hotel for 6 days. One of the last days we went to Newport Beach. It was so nice. Not as HOT as I would have liked, but perfect weather. We even saw dolphins in the ocean. The girls loved it. They did not want to leave. Shea told us that she was going to move to California and we could come if we wanted! So thoughtful!

I don't think I even have to mention how much the girls loved Disneyland! They loved all the rides and parades, but when I asked them their favorite part. Well, here is the picture!

That's right! It is Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas! Shea was so excited!! And Rylee's favorite part was Tiger. She was so stinking cute with him. She ran right up to him and gave him a BIG hug. I think it totally caught him off guard! haha!

Here is a picture of by two beautiful princesses before their hair got destroyed!

Random pictures again. Rebbekah and Shea waiting for the Fireworks to start.

Family Picture time!

So the first day we were in Disneyland, it decided to RAIN on us. We thought it would clear up, but it didn't! We had to leave early and we were all sad!

Halloween

Back in the day, when I was in Elementary school, my mom use to dress up as a witch and make a witch's brew for my class. I always loved that about my mom, so I decided to do that for my kids. I talked to Shea's teacher and she thought that would be a great surprise for the kids. Was it a surprise? NO! The kids weren't even scared, and they knew it was me! I was so mad. I totally wanted to scare them. Oh, well. It was fun anyway.

Shea wanted to be a scary witch this year. She loved the wig!

Rylee was a stinky skunk! This little skunk thought she was a bear all night. She was growling at everyone!

Shea and Rylee were so excited for Halloween.

This year our town decided not to have Trunk or Treat, so we headed to Jackson to go to all the stores. It is really nice when you have small children. You don't have to walk a ton and you get a lot of candy. Rylee filled her bag!

I will also say that Rylee is potty trained. I wish I could take credit for it, but she actually taught herself! All I did was buy her panties. She was done in 3 days! Also, to this day, she has never wet the bed!! I can't believe it.

So if anyone needs size 4 diapers, I have a whole box of them!

After we went to Jackson, Shea also wanted to go to a neighborhood. So we went back to Victor to do some more trick r treating. As the sun was setting, we noticed that the headless horseman was out and about roaming the streets! It was so cool! You cant see it, but he is actually holding his pumpkin head in his hand! I'm told that he has been coming out for the past 3 years. So cool!

The girls got a ton of candy. I am such a mean mom, and will only let them have 5 pieces a day. So we still have A TON!
