We have been wanting to go to Disneyland ever since we moved here and finally found the perfect time to go. The weather was pleasant, the lines weren't too long, the girls were in heaven, and we all had a blast. My mom was sweet enough to watch Olivia, which made it much easier and more enjoyable not having an infant.
I love how magical everything is there. The girls thought all the Princesses and characters were real.
Abigail was just shy of 35 inches which meant she got to ride 2 of the "big kid rides" (Matterhorn and the toon town roller coaster). She LOVED them. We had to do a pony tail on top in order to sneak by.
Gracie is just barley 40 inches which meant she was able to ride every single ride but one. That girl was made for wild rides. She had her hands up and was squealing during them all. She loved Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain. Now that our kids are getting older, and taller, and braver, it makes Disneyland a whole new experience.
It was fun meeting up with the Grahams and riding some rides with them. It was a nice switch up in our day having some new faces to enjoy the evening with.
We were at the park from 9:30AM to 9:30PM and soaked in every single second. Our kids NEVER fall asleep unless in their beds (no matter what time it is or what they've done that day). I guess we finally found something else that puts them to sleep...a fun filled day at Disneyland!

Heather Annette Photography
My best friend Heather is a very talented photographer!!! When she came to California a few weeks ago she took some family pictures for us and I am so happy with the way they turned out. Check out her amazing work at http://heatherannette.com
She mostly does sessions in Utah, but occasionally is in Texas and California if you ever want to book her. Thanks Heather!!!

5 Months
Olivia all of a sudden looks so BIG to me! This past month she has grown up so much. She moved up to size 2 diapers and is out of all her 0-3 month clothes. I'm sad that she is now only bottle fed. We just started her on rice cereal a few days ago and she has done well with it so far. It's crazy to me that she is still eating every 2 hours during the day, and she is up more now in the night than she ever was as a newborn. I put her down at 7 and she still wakes up once, sometimes twice to eat. She is my worse sleeper so far, but the smiles I get makes it all worth it. She loves her hands and is my most smiley baby which we all love. She is such a delightful, easy going baby. Oh Livy-Lou, we sure Love You!!!!

Ferguson's
We had a wonderful weekend with Heather and Nick. They came into town for Nicks interview for medical school at Pomona. It was fun spending time with them as well as having Ben around. Friday, Heather took our family pictures (she's an amazing photographer!), and we went to the Redlands street fair. Saturday we went to the Santa Monica pier where we had a picnic lunch, rode some rides (Grace went on the yellow roller-coaster), and walked around. We then headed over to the LA Children's Museum. I got a little glimpse of what weekends could be like if the Ferguson's moved here...and I REALLY like it!
