Photo Dump! [May-June 2016]

 Ever since we have been back from Disneyland, I have felt all out of sorts and routine. I am finally feeling back to my every day with work and home!


<-- "Mama, can I pose with a book"

--> shopping!

 This outfit is a favorite of mine. She is just so cute.

 Gianna cannot get enough edamame and she will just lay on the floor (anywhere) and drink her bottle haha

 ^^ the struggle was real waking up

<-- she was trying to grab the Bubble Guppies off the TV and when I pulled out the Puppy, she was elated.

--> kept asking for the helmet to be put on

<-- Im not tired, just put on a show for me..

--> we got Emma a lamp when we redid her room and it turns everything a shade of pink. After shes asleep, I sneak it and turn it off :)

 We went over to Mimi and Poppops house for the day!

 --> counting for hide and seek

 <-- sharing popsicles

<-- singing me Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee

--> they always fight for this chair and for once they were watching together!

 <-- I just love my bed!

--> and I randomly got this new Island for the kitchen, which James was against at first and now he has admitted that he LOVERRRRS it ha

Eventually I will have the rest of our trip together ha

Family Vacation 2016: Day 2 [Disneyland!]

Day 2! Day 1 at Disneyland!

We ate breakfast at the hotel and drove over to park! (I thought we were in walking distance because we stay at the same hotel every time. Well within the last 3 years they hotel changed names and have new owners and I didnt pay attention and ended up booking us a mile from the park haha woops) We waited about 10 minutes for bag check and about 10 minutes to get in the park. First stop when we were in... Ariel's Bubble Wand. We saw so many the night before, Emma begged for one. Or course! So glad we grabbed it then, a worker informed me they ran out park-wide that day! James made sure to bring it on every ride so it wouldn't get swiped from our stroller.

Family selfie! We are excited to show Emma all the fun!

Everyone you walked by gets bubbled haha

We saw Woody and the line was short, so we met up with him first. I wanted to get my rides out of the way so we could focus on Emma. We started with the Haunted Mansion (which Emma hated at first but wanted to go again ha) and then the Pirates of the Caribbean (which she felt the same about, but asked to go again!)

 We then hit Toon Town and saw Pluto. We were last in line to greet him, so they danced for a few minutes and it was so cute. She then asked to meet Mickey and Minnie. So Mickey was first! Her face when she saw him was priceless. When we went to see Minnie, the line was 75 minutes. So we told her she went to lunch and we would try again later. (So glad we did, because day 3 was so magical)

We did a few more things in Toon Town, grabbed some lunch and we to bigger rides!

 The Tea Cups were so much fun. Her laughter while James spun us was the best ever. After this, my phone started to die because I did not prepare. But we explored all over Disneyland and Emma just had such a great time. Lots of squeals and 'Wow Mom!!!'. On the Astro Blasters Toy Story ride, Emma did really well! I was impressed she hit the targets and scored some points! All 3 of us crammed in a rocket ride and it was tears after from how funny it was with us all in it. Was not sure if we would make it to the end. After about 630-7 we headed back through downtown and grabbed some diner and headed to the hotel. Fireworks started around 930 and we could see them from the parking lot. We all crashed around 930 and were back at it for our final day! Part 3 to come...

XOXO

Family Vacation 2016: Day 1

After 20 minutes she asked if we were at the beach yet haha sorry..5 more hours

Sunday morning, we left nice and early to try and not waste a day/evening just to be at the hotel. We arrived around 330-4 to a windy afternoon. The weather felt sooo nice! We got changed in the parking lot and sort of tried not to flash the people around haha

 On the way to the water, Emma couldnt see over the brick wall and shouted 'Wow, Mom!! This is the biggest sand pile ever!!' Oh Honey, just wait... and she took off.

**she kept saying 'ooo im in a bikini!'

 She collected at least 100 seashells and it was so cute watching her be so proud every time she found a bigger one.








There were these dead little crabs lined all across beach.

 She would only touch the water once. It knocked over and she was done ha. But for the 2 seconds we touched it was fun.


She kept picking random sand spots and telling us that is where she is going to relax and do not disturb her ha

After we were done at the beach, we drove to our hotel to check in and clean up. We headed to Downtown Disneyland for dinner and to get Emma excited for what was to come! We waited 20 minutes in line at this cute outside restaurant...we had the worst service! They only brought out Emma's food and 20 minutes later, we ended up with our food to go because someone was a hot mess. BOTH of our waitresses tried to give us excuse after excuse. We get it, we have both worked in the food industry. But our four year old is pouty and throwing things ha so we have to go now. But all was good when we got to back to the hotel and ate, the food was delicious and we saw the fireworks show... days 2 and 3 to come!
