New hobby for Miss H!!

Miss H and I have done music together classes for 2 years now and she loves it! She loves going to music, seeing her friends, singing and dancing the whole shebang. However, this semester our sweet friends schedule didn't really meet up with ours. When I told H that her 2 favorite friends wouldn't be in class she was a little sad. That is when we began discussing new activities and hobbies to do. I listed off a whole bunch of new idea such as soccer, t-ball, gymnastics, and more. She was pretty intrigued to hear more.

I told her I would do some research and then we could may try something new this semester instead of music. After much research and discussion Miss H chose gymnastics as her new thing. I found a gym close by that had hours that would work once Tiger arrived too. The gym even has a trail class you can do prior to committing. So we loaded up and went for our trial class!!

H had the best time at gymnastics. She loved getting to jump on the big long trampoline. They even have a fun castle that you can jump out of into a foam pit. She tried it once and that was about all she wanted of that!! Needless to say she was hooked after one class and we now have been to 2 classes! I love watching her try new things. She is pretty funny though because if she isn't sure about the safety of the event she sits back and waits her turn, my little observer girl!

GOOD BYE DISNEY!!!

Happy FIRST Birthday Baby G!! What better way to celebrate than at Disney!!

I adore this little guy!

Day 4 of Disneyland fun and we were all sad to be leaving. Today we hit up Adventureland again since Little Bear didn't get to enjoy all of it the first day. We wore our yellow "age" shirts today! My sister got these on iron ons and made the cutest shirts. Of course the adults just had mickey hats :-) Baby G wore his BIRTHDAY outfit...

We had a blast and hit up the back side of the park. We began with Toy Story which the babies loved! Then the bigger kiddos rode the super fast roller coaster! The babies and I hit up the merry go round, it was all sea creatures! Then we all enjoyed a ride on the large fairs wheel.

on Toy Story sorry Iphone pic in the dark!

poor G getting a snooze

After that we just kind of took our time hitting rides here and there that were open. We also used a few fast passes. Then it was souvenir shopping time! B wanted a rather large trolly, yikes on getting that home! H picked out some cars from cars land and Little Bear got some charms for her braclett. Then the SAD part...going HOME!!

sacked out from all the fun!

sweet family pic!!

she has her cars!!

saying good bye

We loaded up our sweet kiddos and made the drive back to San Diego. Miss H and I had a 9 am flight and the others had an afternoon flight. They got to enjoy a little more sight seeing after they took us to the airport. Regardless we had a wonderful time and all went well. I think for our last minute sure we will go trip it turned out OVER THE TOP! Plus by the end of it Miss H would actually high five Mickey and friends! Can't wait till our next trip with all the kiddos to Disney World...when both Miss H and G will be turning 5!!

ready for our flight home

Back home with daddy!

oh the joys of unpacking and laundry!

Disneyland Adventures

Monday was a sad and exciting day for us. Sad because my mom, dad, and Chris all took off for home. Exciting because we were heading out with my Sister and Co for the second part of our Cali trip!

Ready to ROLL!!

DISNEYLAND!! The kids were so stinking excited to go...okay let me rephrase that Little Bear and B were excited. The babies um had no idea! Miss H and I were not originally heading on this adventure. However, my sister asked if I would mind coming to mostly hang with Baby G...really do you have to ask twice! Once I knew we were joining them on this part of the trip FAMILY SHIRTS had to be made. I had one of my favorite ladies here in town make the shirts we wore for today's adventure. Ashley at 3Little Birdies makes tons of H's shirts and more for me. I adore her because I asked her a bit late for these and she moved heaven and earth to get them done for us. Oh and she can ship to anywhere!!! :-)

We loaded up the car (wish I would have taken a pic) and took off pretty early. The drive from San Diego to Disneyland was not bad at all...Brian even took us on the scenic route. Needless to say we got to see the ocean occasionally, ha but it was a nice drive. The kids only asked about 10 times how much longer. Once we got there we unloaded the car and took off for a half day at Fantasyland.

Enjoying a little pit stop at a cute little diner!

What a cute little family...minus Baby G who was sleeping

Checking in...Yes this is what it looks like when 7 people check in! YIKES!!

While they checked in I stayed with the babies..H sleeping and G playing!

We made it in time to enjoy a few rides and the parade. Miss H LOVED the parade and rides! She was very excited to see it all!! Oh and did I mention that Queen Tia gave her some cotton candy, man on man is vacation life with Tia wonderful!

Oh here is the PURE joy of COTTON CANDY

Our great seats for the parade

Miss H dancing and waving her heart out!

Uncle B after his knees melted to the ground!

That evening we had dinner at Goofy's kitchen. It was here that we quickly learned H CANNOT stand characters!! They so kindly placed us right next to the door where the characters enter and exit. Which to most would be wonderful...however that only caused H and Baby G to be more stressed out. Just as H would get settled and begin eating in would walk a character...causing her to jump out of her high chair screaming! You can believe we were a fun group to be sitting by!! After a bit she settled down and realized that the characters would only talk to Little Bear and B. The two who were most excited to see them anyway. Of course the kiddos got autographs from everyone and pictures. I have to say the best character was the Madd Hatter! He was cracking us up as he made the group behind us do funny things and take pictures of them instead of with him. Miss H didn't mind him too much because he looked like a person.
