Disneyland age 2

We visited Disneyland today. Thank you Uncle Paul and Aunt Tobi for getting us in! It was so much fun watching Jillian now that she is starting to be more verbal. We went on Finding Nemo, Dumbo, the carousel x2, and Small  World. We also waited in line for an hour to meet the princesses. Jillian met Jasmin, Aurora, and Cinderella. She could hardly contain her excitement when she saw Cinderella. We had to hold her so she wouldn’t jump the line and run to her. Overall it was a good trip. I can’t wait to get my pass back!

K1 for Sam’s Birthday

We went to K1 indoor go cart track for Sam’s 12th birthday. Adrian, my brother Jason, and my Dad also joined in. They had so much fun… with only a few minor crashes. Jillian enjoyed watching the go-carts zoom by. She also loved to play on the winner’s podium.

John and Cerina

John and Cerina got married on Sunday! It was such a beautiful wedding. The bride looked absolutely stunning! Congrats to the both of them!

Sea World

We celebrated my father in law’s birthday at Sea World! We were really excited to take Jillian there. She’s really into fish right now.  Sea World is having a deal right now, buy a year pass get the second year free!! How could we pass that up, two visits and it’s paid for! (free parking too!!)

The first thing we did when we got there was see Shamu! Jillian absolutely loved it.

Watching Shamu

WOW!

Jillian then got to check out the Star Fish and look at some fish in aquariums. It was so cute, she kept saying “look!” when a fish would swim buy. She’s become a parrot now. We have to watch what we say!

Look!

We also saw the flamingos! They are interesting birds. We saw them doing some interesting things, haha but I’m going to keep this at a G rating!

Flamengos

Breanna fed the Sea Lions. They were really funny when they knew food was coming. She had to watch out for the birds however. They like to swoop in and steal the fish. At lunch there was a funny bird that was trying to steal our food. When ever Adrian tried to throw food to him, he missed. I think his beak was too narrow. He was kind of scary because he got so close. (I’m not a fan of birds)

We tried to touch the dolphins but they never swam close enough. Here are some random pictures 🙂

Sesame Street Live

We were so excited to take Jillian to see Sesame Street Live again! Jillian enjoyed it but is wasn’t the same as last year. It was more like watching TV to her. I think the difference may be the venue we were at. Last year in San Diego we were at the Sports center and the seating was different. We were in folding chairs with lots of aisles. The characters were able to move up and down the aisles. Kids were up and dancing last year. This year we were in Long Beach at the performing arts center. Since it was a theater there weren’t as many kids up and dancing. We did have front row seats though, which was great! We were up close to the characters.  We’re thinking of seeing Yo Gabba Gabba in November. We’re going to make sure that we go to San Diego.

Double Stroller

So we caved! My mom bought us a double stroller for our morning walks. Unfortunately the front wheel started to act funny. I’m going to have to contact the manufacturer 🙁

Shutterfly/Bunco Night

I was given the honor of being a Shutterfly House Party Host! I had a great time sharing all of my books with my friends and family! For hosting Shutterfly gave me and 10 guests a coupon for a free book and 12 free greeting cards. I need to create mine soon!

We also played Bunco! It was so much fun! I think everyone had a good time. I know I did! My mom and I are thinking of having another game in June.

Adrian had too much fun!

Hi!

Beach Baby

We went to the beach to take some pictures the other day. Jillian had so much fun! She is fearless! I thought that she would get scared when the wave hit her, boy was I wrong! She ran straight into the water. Adrian was hanging back with Olivia. We had to swap places otherwise I would have lost my camera. Adrian and Jillian returned home soaked!
