James Birthday!

About a month ago was James Birthday! His parents came to town for the holiday weekend and it was tons of fun!

We had breakfast donuts in the car >>

<< wore Grammy's hat

<< patiently waiting for James to get a new phone

 << my favorite way she has ever fallen asleep!

 The kids were sooo good at dinner. G loved wearing this coaster and it was so cute

 Got in some serious color time with Pop pop.

She loves to do this after we food shop haha

>>put up our flag for Memorial Day!

 Emma helped make Daddy his cake. She picked out everything!

We spent lots of time in the pool and hanging out!

I hope 28 is a magical year my love!

 One of my great friends, Kelly, her daughter turned 1 this month and we went to celebrate!

Her Mom made the cutest 'Neva heads' and put garland and heads on sticks in the grass. On the way out Emma grabbed a head from the grass and goes 'Mom, I took Neva's head, they are going to be sooo mad at me' hahahaha

 Emma played in the pool and it was so cute! I love that they converted their dive pool to a play pool, so its uber kid friendly!

 The two older girls snuck a lick of the cake while singing..

 This was by far my grossest week of parenting by far. Gianna had some sick poops and this nasty blowout on the highway. Emma was yelling in the back how bad it smelled and that she was eating some off her hands. It was so gross. I wanted to throw the carseat away. The clothes went for sure.

 A few days later... Emma was down for the count. Throwing up and no poop. But ugh my house smelled so bad. We are all back to healthy and are happy as can be!

 

 ^^ G had her 15 month well check

These 2 every morning run to a wall for sweet pictures

Emma wrote her name for the first time with zero help!


I told her that her hair was stunning and I wanted to get a cute picture... how she felt about it!

Family Vacation 2016: day 3 [Disneyland]

Finally on to day 3! The best day of the entire trip. The day Emma met her favorite princesses and rode her favorite ride. It was pure magic and I hope to remember this trip forever.

After an hour wait in line to see the princesses (thankfully she made friends with the girl in front of us)
It was finally our turn!

Telling Ariel all about herself. The professional photographer was taking pictures at the same time, so her flash is messing with my pictures lol

**This was the day I also shattered my phone screen, so all these pictures are just point and shoot at hope for the best turn out ha

And then she met Cinderlella! 

And then Snow White. She was sad that not ALL of the princesses were there. James jumped in and quickly mentioned that maybe Sofia the 1st needed some help at her castle from the others and she totally believed him.

Out of order lol but before the princesses, Emma got to dance with Mickey!

On day 2 when we went to meet Minnie, her line was 75 minutes. I couldnt wait that long, so we told her after lunch we would try back. As we headed to Cali Adventure, we spotted a different Mickey and Minnie at the front and tried to get in those lines.

As soon as we did, they took them back stage and said sorry. So we explained to Emma we would come back and soon as she said ok, we saw the 2 of them come back out and James pushed Emma and told her to be brave and go say hi. So she did! Walked right over and Mickey grabbed her hand and they walked through a crown together as parents pushed their kids to

get up there and shake his hand. It was so precious to watch and James got teary-eyed and it made the whole trip. There were immediately 50 people in line to take pictures with Mickey and Emma got to go first.

Then we got in the line to say hi to Minnie and Donald Duck and then it was off to the other side!

Emma put every ounce of effort in to trying to get the sword out ha and it was so cute and she was bummed when it didnt come out. And look at that sexy man trying to pull out the sword. Ow ow.

Emma is already talking about next time we go and if we can please take her sister with. Yes! It like 23423 years when we save up enough again haha
