I love that.....Disneyland edition:


I LOVE THAT.........



Cole had his tongue lodged in his cheek with complete concentration the entire drive....

We could share 1 Matterhorn sundae...6 spoons... and it is paLENTy....

Santa brought on more fear in Kate than any resident of Disneyland...



My cute parents surprised us all and made the trip to Anaheim....

 

Kate's favorite ride hands down was....Tea Cups!.....


I could whip out my camera and these were the poses I got instantly...

Almond Rocha was in rich supply....

My FAVorIte meal at the park was still alive and well...Ratatouille with asparagus and corn cakes...

Mr. Incredible just kept hanging around  the Thomas crew...it was our own personal photo session if you will... 

The castle looked just so fantastic at Christmas time.....night or day.....

We drove to Newport Beach to finally see the temple and oh was it worth it....

I got sincere, happy and excited smiles from my kids....

Kate was a delicate eater...
Jack finally got "the lightsaber"....
The Goff cousins were THEE most fun to Disneyland with......."stupid stroller food" and all!!!

It never fails....

So I spent my 34th birthday at Disneyland and I highly recommend it. Do you see my happy children, the ones who were thrilled to have their picture taken once again for mom's big day? I just wanted to document that I wore my b-day button with pride and thoroughly enjoyed the "happy birthday Carrie" wishes I received from cast members all day. Kari/Carrie....it's all the same!


Jack and Cole are at perfect ages to enjoy Disneyland. They act spazzy together, argue very little, and once in a while.....hold hands. It's pretty cute.


We were told (by the lovely gentleman to the left) to get off these rocks right after I got a couple shots off. Yet another reason I love my new fast camera.

Another talent I do not posses...balloon animals or in our case, knights with helmets, belts and swords. These were a huge hit at dinner one night. The fellas couldn't understand why they couldn't take them to the park each day.






Ah, the character meet and greet!





Thomas family favorite ride....Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.









Jack getting really serious about his driving abilities. He's totally pumped for next time ...he'll be tall enough that he can drive on his own.




Brody in true fashion. He doesn't calm down gradually, he'll just stop from exhaustion. Case in point.



We've never really been a "princess" loving family ...hard to believe I know. Kate had to meet at least Cinderella. The boys graciously waited for her big moment!



We're a little nerdy when it comes to visiting the happiest place on Earth. We love to pin trade...a lot. We also get a kick out of finding "Hidden Mickeys".....and find some good ones we did! Yes, that is a glass Mickey laid somewhere in the cement amongst the park. Ok, so we use a book for clues but it's so fun!




"Can we get a churro?"
"No."
"Can we get a churro?"
"No."
"Can we get a churro?"
"Maybe tomorrow."
"Can we get a churro?"
"Tomorrow."
"But we're leaving today......."
"Riiiight..."
Happy Churros!


Even though Kate was teething and pretty much despised the stroller, she was still a dollhead. She was so thrilled eachnight to get out of the stroller that she actually figured out how to finally crawl...right there on the delicious hotel carpet....mmmm!


I just thought this was a fantastic picture!




Only long wait of the week...."Toy Story Mania" so worth it everytime!





How we roll: we pack snacks....and lots of 'em.





The best $7.50 spent on food.






Her majesty.....




It was such a blast. I love my family and honestly, I do enjoy spending 24/7 with them for a week straight. Now the plane ride home is quite another story.

And....we're back....

It's been quite a week but we are back from our happiest of trips to the "Happiest Place on Earth." The children have been disinfected, 11 loads of stinky laundry are almost complete and the fridge is on the verge of being replenished. Back to reality. Due pardon me if I share a few photos from our week at D-land, thee place to spend your 34th day of birth if you ask me. This will have to do for today, I must get back to the reality of this morning... pronto.

Tis the season

It was that time of year again...time to make our pilgrimage to the motherland-Disneyland. Our family loves this place, we are firm believers in the fact that it is absolutely the "Happiest place on Earth!" I mean really, where else would you pay $4.50 for a giant strawberry dipped in chocolate because it's so "cute."
Brody got us ready to start the vacation after he unfortunately did a face plant on the airport floor. He bled all over Kyle's shirt and earned a grody fat lip. Just in time for pictures!




We love to meet my sister and her crew down for a week together-.It's always better with the Goffs.






Lost this kid TWICE. No kidding. Not fun. He's oblivious.


Ate a lot of this kinda stuff. Glad to be home eating lots of veggies.





Saw numerous contestants for "worst outfit of the year." One honorable mention was this GUY sporting a very female tank top. -seriously, there was no mistaking the fact....not a masculine look....at all! It was fun to get a good inside laugh to myself every time we zig zagged in line and there he was in all his girl tank glory.







Jack and Cole both got to use the force to fight Darth Vader and Darth Maul, super cool for two little Star Wars fans.




Love the haunted mansion decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas garb.






Lucky Kyle got the good seat on the way home. Two sweaty /sleepy heads wearing dirty clothes cause their mother didn't pack very well-on one side....elderly /weary traveler eating a hard boiled egg on the other.
Good Times!
