{disneyland day 1}

We couldn't have been any more excited this morning as we woke up to snow and realized in only a few short hours we would be in sunny California!  It was also a lot easier to pack this year for Will (no diapers, playpen, etc) and we managed to do it all with in our carry on limits and had room to spare.  Yep I am pretty much that awesome when it comes to packing :)

Once we got to our gate Will was in heaven watching all the airplanes!

We are excited to have Aunt Whitni and Gammy Stacy joining us this trip!

Will was really into the airplane this year and was so excited he couldn't stop smiling :)

And was super sad after we landed :(

Welcome to LA!

I think the bus ride to the rental car place rivaled Will's airplane ride, he was just as excited to be on a bus!

And on our way to Anaheim!

With this years deals we decided to stay at the Grand California Hotel and it is simply AMAZING!  Seriously, it so awesome and nice!

After we checked in we hurried to the park only to realize we forgot half the tickets back at the hotel.  So we sent Mike back to grab them :)

Disneyland 2011

Will started out a little scared of the train:

But that didn't last long!

And of course the boys had to watch the ducks again this year:

Will was lovin the carousel:

And tried really hard to pull out the sword in the stone:

We squished into the tea cups:

And Aunt Whitni made us go really fast!

Hold on Will!

I love my cute hubby :)

Storybook Land Boats

Waving to Casey's Jr Circus Train

Will got super scared of Buzz since some teenagers tried to cut in line and Buzz raced over to Will and it completely freaked him out!

Poor Will :(

So we headed to Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters:

I love how into it both Will and Mike are :)

At Autopia Will was so excited to have his own 'ticket' aka drivers license:

The whole fam:

Pirates of the Caribbean:

More ducks again:

And finally the much anticipated Beignet's!

Delicious Daddy!

We walked over to CA Adventure:

Toy Story Mania:

We are lovin how empty it is here this year!  Seriously no wait for Monsters Inc!

We had such a busy fun filled day and absolutely love it here!  Last year was such a blast with my family and we couldn't wait to get back this year and are excited to have Stacy and Whitni joining us.  It is also a completely different trip this year with Will.  Since he is older it is a lot different since he gets more of whats going on so that's fun too!  Also having him potty trained is so nice!  Tomorrow we will probably leave the stroller since Will insisted on walking almost everywhere today anyway.  The park is so empty compared to last year we were amazed at how much we were able to ride today, I only documented about half of it!  Seriously this is "The Happiest Place on Earth"!!!!

SURPRISE!

We leave for Disneyland in the morning!!!!!!

[stop it mom]

I just couldn't resist documenting this :)

(Notice the iPhone sitting on the tub?!)

We are happy to say that after our set back in December with potty training Will is officially back on track!  He has been doing awesome for a while now so this post is little over due but I think its well worth the wait :)

I cant wait to show his wife this pic someday ;)

Kira's Sealing & Gammy Bev's Birthday

My whole family made it down today to be here for Kira's sealing to Brandi and her family.  We are happy to have her officially apart of the family!  We didn't get a picture of the happy family but we did snag one of the rest of us: 

Then for lunch we surprised my Mom with a birthday celebration!  Happy birthday Gammy Bev!

Will is totally into making faces lately :)

We LOVE you Gammy!

Will was all to eager to help open gifts:

Gammy loved her new pic of Will!

Happy happy birthday Gammy!!!!

We finished up the night with swimming at the awesome pool at the hotel:

Will was a maniac on the little slide!  It was so awesome!

And lastly how cute are these two?!!!

Thanks for such a fun weekend guys! We love you!

[just because]

[LOVE my handsome boy]
