Grandma Brown's Birthday celebration

This year for Grandma Brown's birthday we went over on Sunday morning for brunch and then headed off to church with the whole gang. After church we had dinner, cake and ice cream. It was a great celebration!

 

Oliver cookin up some bacon in his fancy apron!

Big smiles for the camera.

 

Tanner was being so silly. He kept sticking his little fingers up his nose.

BBQ

I love the summer.....going to the park, swimming, BBQ's and all the wonderful outdoor things we can do in the summer. A few weeks ago we headed over to our friends for a BBQ. It was a nice kickoff to the summer.

 

Our family enjoying the great outdoors.

Our friend Andrew and the grill he made. I think it is a pretty awesome grill!

Final day at Disneyland

Our last day in Disneyland was a lot of fun.We got to LA in the afternoon and first off we headed over to California adventure for the Pixar parade. Parker and McKinley absolutely loved the parade. They were up dancing and waving the whole time. I am glad we were able to make it for the parade. After the parade we headed back over to Disneyland for a few more rides and the fireworks. The firework show was absolutely amazing. It was definitely worth the late night! Treagan slept for the whole show and McKinley made it through most of it, but she too fell asleep. I would love the job as Tinkerbell in the firework show.....lol

 

We had to get another picture with Minnie.

 

How can you not love that face!?!?

Waiting for the firework show. Tiffany is enjoying her cinnamon roll that she had been wanting the whole week to get.( It was a delicious cinnamon roll)

 

McKinley and Parker snuggled up on Grammy's lap to watch the fireworks!

Another Day at Disneyland...

 

Grammy bought all the girls matching Minnie outfits and oh they looked adorable!

 

Meeting Minnie was definitely one of the highlights for McKinley. She was a little unsure about her at first, but quickly warmed up.

 

We all love our Grammy!

 

Getting ready to go into A bug's life movie....I think we may wait until McKinley is a little older to go watch this movie again.

Disneyland Day 1

On the first day of Disneyland we let McKinley wear her snow white dress and boy did she think she was ALL THAT! She walked down main street on her tip toes saying, " I am the Queen of the Princess!" She did not stop all day. She was making us laugh all day. One little boy even stopped her so he could dance with snow white (he was probably 4 yrs old) it was really cute. All in all we really loved Disneyland and had a great time!

Disneyland Day 1 cont.

 

Cameron and Laura ended up being in California the same time we did, so we met up with them and the kids had so much fun. This is Dillon and McKinley on Dumbo. Poor McKinley is to short for most of the rides!

 

McKinley taking a little nap because being a full time princess is really exhausting!

 

Treagan just being a happy camper

 

Oliver and I waiting for space mountain. This is my favorite ride at Disneyland! I always have to go on it at least once and I have to sit in the front row.

San Diego Zoo

On Monday we headed off to the San Diego Zoo. McKinley liked seeing the animals , but was exhausted by mid afternoon. She feel asleep in the stroller on the way to the car. The zoo is so big that we didn't have that much time to see all the animals.

Cute little McKinley

 

Daddy and Treagan

 

Grammy, Treagan, and I waiting for the Sea otter show. I really enjoyed the show! You can tell how hot it was by looking at poor Treagan's face.

Balboa Park

On Sunday after church my family headed off to Sea World with McKinley in tote. Oliver decided he didn't want to go to Sea World so we decided to head over to Balboa Park with little Treagan. I really love Balboa park. It is a huge park with so many thing to do and see. We really enjoyed the rose and cactus Gardens. We would have stayed longer, but we had left Treagan's binky in the car, which was about a mile back. Next time we will remember his binky when we leave the car.

The coolest cactus tree you ever did see!

 

We all met back up that night. These were the kids after an exhausting day at Sea world. As you can see they had a great time at Sea World.
