Disneyland Day One

With the springing ahead due to Daylight Saving Time and the two hour time difference, we were up and running very early today!

Ate a great breakfast to fuel up

our first character spotting

Waiting to get into the park. This was so exciting. We kept talking about Disneyland, but they still had no idea what Disneyland really was!

 

Pa Doss had to hold on to them. They were sooo ready to see EVERYTHING!

 

Everyone went to ride the cars roller coaster and Miss Henley was not tall enough so we went to explore. I was so excied to see Big Red, but Henley was NOT! She and I found a nice tame ride and took a spin while we waited.

 

 

Flick!

We had lunch at Ariel's Grotto. This was so fun! Henley loved ALL the princesses. Ariel was by far her favorite.

 

 

 

 

We were eating lunch with the princesses and the boys spotted Buzz across the water. I grabbed them and we ran to meet him.  He was great! He pretended to battle Woody (Owen) with Buzz's (Brody) help.

The 3D Toy Story Interactive game was popular and had a long line.  Well, my sweet children took this opportunity to take a good 45 minute nap.  It was totally worth holding them because they didn't complain about the long line and they woke up in a great mood!

Headed to Disneyland!

It's Spring Break and time to head west to...DISNEYLAND!!

waiting patiently while Daddy gets us checked in

Guess who all the sudden took an interest in Legos???

so cool!

While the boys went with Todd and Doss to Build-A-Car, the girls headed to Build-A-Bear

It's a Minnie Mouse Bear with a Tiana gown!!!! Is there a better combo in the world? Not in Henley's opinion! 

Hulk SMASH!

Definitely Goofy!

All my silly boys

had to get in on all this fun!!!

Western Day

The boys have been studying Texas and in honor of Texas Independence Day, they put on their best western duds.
 

 

I included this pic of Holly per the boys request. Ever since we went to the circus they've taken a new interest in our dog.  Did the elephant turn them into animal lovers?

Our First Circus

The circus is in town, we need to check this out

I'm not sure if they were excited or worried? Brody is probably just mad he had to look up from his popcorn!

At intermission, it was time to ride the animals.  Henley did not like this plan. Thank goodness Blair was there so I could document this experience.

 

The boys, while timid at first, LOVED riding the elephant! They thought that was the greatest thing ever!

Love making these memories with my kiddos

Owen and his pony

Brody "Look Mom! I'm a cowboy!"

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Happy Birthday to the best Daddy and Hubby there is!

We were lucky to have a fun night out with friends to celebrate Todd's birthday at Basin Burger.  So glad Nana and Papa D came in for our weekend-o-birthdays! It was great getting to celebrate all my boys' birthdays!

Party Time..We are 5!

It's time to really celebrate...Let's head to Chuck E. Cheese!
 

 

Look what I got!

Owen came out of the ticket blaster with the golden ticket!

Brody went BANANAS in the ticket machine! He had the time of his life!

 

So glad Nana and Papa D came in town for our celebration
