happiest place on earth

Our little family had a GREAT vacation to Disneyland! We spent 6 days in the happiest place on earth! We stayed at the remarkable Grand California Hotel & even had time to spend at the pool!

We divided our time between Disneyland and CA Adventure...I'd say more time at Disneyland was had for sure! We enjoyed all the rides and entertainment!

Colden's favorite ride was Pirates of course! He tried two times to get into Jedi training, but decided he didn't want to try anymore! He was such a trooper! He was very brave and went on Thunder Mountain several times!

Brindley's favorite thing was meeting all the princesses, and her most favorite was Rapunzel! She was amazing and worth the 90 minute wait! Brindley's favorite ride was, It's a Small World!

Brian and I enjoyed watching the magic through Colden and Brindley's eyes, there is nothing better! We also enjoyed various rides and took turns going as "singles" on some of the bigger rides!

We hope to return soon as it really is the happiest place on earth!

"It's a Small World After All..." Sorry to get the stuck in your head now!

We thought the sign was a great idea, but it didn't work...oh well...Colden is the biggest trooper!
Dumbo!
Headed to the island!Good ol' fashion carousel!
Colden won Dumbo out of 6 other people!!

Meeting Tinkerbell!
Waiting to meet Rapunzel! 90 minutes, but this moment brought Mommy to tears!

Colden made his very own light saber and was SO patient with his sister waiting for Rapunzel!
Yup...here is the moment that I cried...Rapunzel took Brindley away from the chaos (because she's so shy) and sat her in this window sill...it was a very special moment!

Brindley's party with friends!

Brindley celebrated her 4th birthday with friends at KidzBounce on Friday! They had a super fun time bouncing, eating cupcakes and opening gifts! Brindley loves being around all her friends!
All the moms had to take a turn at hula hooping...we think it may be the next workout rage!
Everyone singing to her...I'm just so glad her face isn't hiding!!
Getting ready to sit with each friend while she opens gifts!
Colden and Brindley!

Mother's Day celebration x2

I have had a great week celebrating Mother's Day with my two favorite kids!

On Wednesday, I enjoyed a celebration with Colden! They sang us songs, we ate wonderful treats and shared some painting they did for us!

Today, I celebrated with Brindley! I enjoyed more treats & songs! They planted sweet flowers in teacups for each Mommy! Too cute!

These few days are always so special to me...spending time with Colden and Brindley in their classrooms! It gives me a little bit of time alone with each one of them! I love them both to pieces!






happy 4th birthday baby girl!

Sunday was Brindley's 4th birthday. Unbelievable. I just had no idea how fast time would fly like it does when you are a parent. My youngest is FOUR!

We are very proud of our little girl! She is very spirited and loves just about any activity! Her favorites are ballet, swimming and soccer! She is very fond of school as well! She adores her friends and her brother very much!

We had a little family celebration on Sunday! The sun showed up for her special day as well! We had a busy morning with church, another birthday party and soccer practice! It was a long day for a 4 year old to wait to open presents!

We have a friend celebration tomorrow at KidzBounce! Pictures will follow!
Posing in her Rapunzel dress with her Tangled cake! May Day Basket-what a great day to have a birthday!One thing is for sure...Brindley does not like being the center of attention!
Happy Birthday sweet girl!
