...more happiest place pics

We were able to do a character breakfast at Disneyland and the boys just loved seeing goofy, captain hook, chip and dale, minnie, eeyore and more. Cameron was particularly enamored with the characters and was sad when we had to go.

Happy Birthday Mom. And Happy 40th anniversary mom and dad.

The whole reason for the trip!

A little teaser

I have a ton of pictures from our outstanding trip to DL. It was truly a fantastic trip even though I was well into the the third trimester. But here are just a few highlights of the trip.

Mary, Sara, my mom and Lance (all with hands in the air) enjoyed another trip on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The boys opted out of it this time.

This was the very first ride of our vacation. The boys said they loved it but neither of them

wanted to ride the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad again. Of course, I got to sit out with Cameron and be photographer.

This pic is a little out of order but this is after splash mountain. the boys are soaked and a little TO'd that we tricked them into riding it.

This pic shows just how Darren felt about getting stuck in front and he got drenched. Cordon is in the back seat with my dad and also was not happy about getting wet.

Darren eventually forgave Mary and after the boys discovered Fantasy Land Darren said he wanted to live in DL forever. They honestly had a great time and we all had a great laugh at their expense.

First day of school. Ready to learn and get some knowledge!

Goodbye summer, hello fall!

School officially started today for Darren. Kindergarten. My babe is in kindergarten. It is kind of anti climactic for me though. Kindergarteners do not ride the bus at his school so I take him and pick him up three hours later. So basically the same as the preschool schedule for the last two years. Plus I have been so excited for this day. School, to me, means the beginning of fall. Which means summer is over. Which means I made it through summer being pregnant and now I am in the home stretch. But before I put summer behind me I want to document some of the highlights (and lowlights) of the season.
