Va-cay

We took the Disneyland for the first time. They were pretty dang excited about the plane ride. Here we are on the train to take us to our gate. EXCITEMENT.
Day 1
Daegan was by far the most giddy......as usual.


This was our first stop after checking into the Hotel. I am not a big fan of the burgers but they do make a killer strawberry shake.

Day 2
As many of you know my husband is a flashoholic. No, he doesn't go around flashing people, he finds bright lights fascinating. He will pay a lot for a good light with lots of lumens. SO when he found out that there was a Surefire showroom we stopped by for a quick look.

Aquarium



We took a walk to Downtown Disney to get us pumped up for the next day.


Eating at House of Blues


Day 3 Disneyland

Nemo ride


The 1 character we did see. I was a little dissapointed because we didn't see Mickey or any Princesses. What's up Disney?

Tea Pots.....Not for me. I'll let you take this one babe.


Waiting for the fireworks.


Day 4
Headed to the beach




SO Camden left the Cheetos out and the birds ate them up in about 5 seconds. Not even a crumb left. Just a feather.

Day 5
We stopped at the LA Temple for some pics.

We had a great time! Now it's back to school and laundry.
The school part I don't mind so much

One year older

And wiser too. Really. I feel like it. I have learned a lot in these past 31 years. I feel like I could offer advice on just about anything.
2 days before my b-day I did some celebrating with my new CO friends at Cheesecake Factory. I'm not sure if they came for me or the cheesecake.
I told Daegan it was my birthday week. Too many people want in on this celebration I have to split it up to be fair.
I'm kinda a big deal.

Mel, Jentrey, Jen.
Dawn and Carolyn

Katie K, Katie S, Jen, Pili

My sister-in-law and her little boy Carter flew in on my birthday (like I said, I'm kinda a big deal)
They actually flew in to be here for Mason's baptism (post on that day later......me first)
We went to dinner to Texas Roadhouse.

On my actual birthday my sweet friend Melanie baked me a cake. How cute is she!

First days of school

Wow. I am way behind on getting these on the blog.
Camden started Kindergarten. Full day. Not so happy.
I know, it sounds perfect right? Now that she is gone I only have Eli at home.
Exactly......I only have Eli at home.
Who is going to play with him all day? Who is going to get him water and snacks while I am reading The Mockingjay? Who is going to take care of him?
Kidding. I take care of my children.
The truth is summer went by way to fast. School started Aug.5

1st day of Kindergarten The school has a dress code that they must be in a collared shirt. It's been kind of tough finding some cute things for her. Ya know, because that's what's important.


Camden and her cute friend Eden. She lives by us and they are in the same class. Fun!!

7:30 a.m. The sun is right in their eyes.


Eli is in a Tiny Tots class 2 days a week for 2 hours. He loves it and has a couple buddies that are in his class.
