Disneyland

For Spring Break at the beginning of April we headed to sunny California to spend 3 days at Disneyland and California Adventure. We drove down with Austin's parents and met up with Whitney and the boys in Anaheim.

Day 1: California Adventure

Up early and ready for lots of FUN!

Trying out the stroller for the 1st time!

So cute in her Minnie Mouse bow!
(My cute sister Alyson made it!)

Ready for a FUN day with cousins! Bryton, Teegan, Jenna, and Kayson

Grandpa and Bryton on the Carousel

Toy Story in 3D! This was such a fun ride! I tried hard to use my shooting skills to beat Austin, but he was the better shot.

Just chillin' in her stroller!

Jenna and Daddy

Jenna and Mommy
Jenna's 1st ride was Monsters Inc.

Teegan, Bryton, Kayson, and Jenna
These 3 boys LOVE their cousin Jenna.
They were constantly wanting to talk to her, touch her and just be near her.
She was a great little baby and let them!

In the Studio Back Lot of California Adventure

Waiting for the Electric Light Parade to start!

I LOVE this parade! I have loved it ever since I was a little girl. The music is the BEST! It was fun to see it again.

Day 2: Disneyland

Me and Mickey Mouse (Jenna is asleep in the stroller)

Going on Pirates of the Carribean

We did a lot more at Disneyland on this day. I just didn't get pictures of it. I didn't want to be the annoying one with the camera trying to get pictures of EVERYTHING!

Day 3: Disneyland and California Adventure

With Jenna at Pooh Bear's Honey Pots

Waiting for the Peter Pan ride. I don't think I'd ever been on this ride before this trip. It was a fun one!

What a cutie!

The Teacups

Whitney, and Mom and Dad Cowley
Going on It's a Small World

Jenna with Dad on It's a Small World
They added 28 Disney characters to the different scenes on the ride. It was fun to try to find them all!

Jenna's 1st time swimming!
She LOVED it!

She liked splashing the water the best.
It was nice being at a hotel that was walking distance from the park. We were able to leave the park in the afternoon and go nap and then head back over. I hope we can do it this way every time we come!

I love how it looks like she is making the same face as the caterpillar in the background!

A Bugs Life show back at California Adventure

This is a video of Jenna getting excited over the toys we bought her. It is really cute!

Jenna won the "Little Trooper" award for the trip. She was so laid back and easy going the whole time. She was always happy and would go right to sleep at night when we got back to the hotel. She made it easy to want to go another vacation!

Lovin' Summer

I can't believe it is July already! The summer is flying by so quickly. I hate to think about having to start school again in a month and a half. There is so much to be done between now and then, at school and at home. We are still trying to get our little girl's room set up and figured out. I feel so much better about it and can see an end in sight. I think everything will work out the way I want it. And Austin has agreed, not without a lot of persuasion, to let me do it my way. I hate to think that I have 3 more months to be pregnant, but I am definitely not ready for her to come now. I am excited and look forward with much anticipation to her arrival!

We went to St. George this last weekend for our one and only vacation for the summer. We don't have the funds to be doing anything grandiose and I'm not fun because I'm pregnant, so Austin says. It was fun to be able to see Austin's parents and spend some time with them. We saw Sheri, Terry, and the girls and I enjoyed a cool outing to the Washington County Rec Center to go swimming. Of course we would pick the one weekend that the temperature was to be the highest of the summer to go. One of the days it got up to 108! Needless to say I did my best not to complain. My hands and feet did swell and we had to sleep with the fan in our room at full speed, but it was nice to have sunshine. We were able to see our friends Bob and Shayla Wells and their two adorable kids as well as, Nick and Summer Lang and their three kids. Nothing better than a BBQ with good food and good friends. I don't think we'll get down there again before the baby's born. That's ok though, I don't mind staying out of that heat!

This is actually a picture from our vacation last year to St. George, but I didn't take any pics this time around. I do love the red rock against all the green!
