Our Week ....

1) Most of our week was spent at the second happiest place on Earth (temple coming in first for me) Disneyland in Cali. What a trip, on the way up our A/C was acting up and we were sweaty and miserable. But, we made it to our hotel around four, unpacked then went to Denny's for some dinner. We have to hide the salt and pepper shakers as soon as we sit down at any table to eat. That is all the girls want to eat mostly Lyla. It's crazy how they just lick it like sugar, I don't get it at all.
 That night at the hotel was a NIGHTMARE....TRENT AND I BARELY SLEPT....THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO TRENT SO YOU KNOW IT WAS BAD.
We could barely get out of the hotel in the morning...all frustrated from no sleep. Lyla did not want to go anywhere once we were in our room just lay down and sleep. We kept telling that we were going to Disneyland and she didn't want to budge. So we forced her in our new Bob stroller (which was amazing by the way) and were off.
 The first few hours were tough...we were all cracky. After Lyla slept in the stroller for about an hour the first day was a lot better. It was so hot and HUMID AS HECK. I had never seen so many women in clothes they shouldn't be in....FYI MOST WOMEN CAN'T/SHOULDN'T WEAR BOOTY SHORTS. ONLY 3% HAVE THE BODY FOR THEM. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE VERY FLATTERING ON ANYONE. YUCK.
 The second day was hot too, and we were pooped at the end of every day. Walking sure takes it out of you. Oh how we were glad we purchased a stroller. It was so nice and a breeze to push. I was worried someone would grab our stroller so kept my eyes on it when I could on rides. But people are pretty good about that at Disneyland. I just love how clean it is there too.
 I guess we picked the perfect/time days to go. The longest wait time we had was 20 min all the other rides we just walked right on. Toy Story was the long wait, one of our favorites. We also loved Ariel and Pirates as well. When we were on Pirates Evelyn looked over at me and said "I've been waiting for this!". She loved the drops so much.
 The girls each got to pick out some toys, Evelyn wanted every stinking dress up she layed eyes on....AT $64 A DRESS NO THANKS, WE TALKED HER INTO OTHER THINGS.
 We attended the park for 3 days and after the 2nd day we thought...what have we done...why did we do 3 days? However our minds changed on the 3rd day. We didn't feel rushed and it was wonderful to hit all the last rides we wanted. It was the perfect family vacay. Next vacay I just want with Trent, we need more alone time!!! It was so happy to get home, and all sleep in separate rooms again:)
 2) On Friday my mom and I drove up to see little Lincoln Dowse, my sister Kylee's newest baby. I was dying to meet him and snap some pics, so I did and it was a heavenly shoot with a sweet chubby baby. I just love being in my element on a shoot...and getting excited with every pose I take. I am love with him Kylee....miss him already.
3) Sat. the girls went over and played with Sandy, and I washed her and my car. It was fun and I love doing service it really makes you so stinking happy:)
