Disneyland!!

 The last week of September, we were able to go to Disneyland again! Our favorite place! We were able to work it out so we went for a full week, and we just took Connell out of school and did an independent study so he wouldn't miss any school work. It worked out pretty well. Most of these pictures are from the first day in the parks, and then Danna joined us for the rest of the week, so we used her camera, and I don't have those pictures back yet. (Hint, hint Danna! ;) But it was awesome and we had a great time, even though all I did was eat so I didn't get sick. I'm proud of the fact that I was able to keep up with JayC even though I was almost 3 months pregnant! (Yes, he is a wild man at Disneyland! Right, Danna?!) We had to practically run to keep up with him most of the time, cuz he's like a little kid. He makes sure we don't miss out on anything. The boys had a blast also and Connell cried when we had to go home this year. :) Definitely it is the happiest place on Earth for us! (And we're hoping we get to go one more time before we leave California early next year...)

 Watching the parade at California Adventure. The boys are of course huge Toy Story fans, so seeing those characters in real life was very cool! Callister recognized all of them and would call out their names and point. He was so cute!

Making funny faces while we waited for Fantasmic to start.

Saying good-bye to Grandma Danna at the airport. She was able to fly into Long Beach, so it was a close drive to pick her up and drop her off. It was so fun having her with us! The boys loved it too. Hopefully she can come again! It made it fun for JayC and I to be able to do some rides together. She got some blisters and we wore her out pretty good, but we're glad she came!

Another exciting thing we did in September was get a couple of "new" vehicles! We were tired of having only one vehicle, and it was getting difficult for me to not have a car during the day with all the stuff going on with the kids and doctor's appointments, etc. We decided since we had paid off a couple credit cards that we could now afford to buy another vehicle. So we traded in our Kia and got a used Honda Odyssey with all the extras (so fun!!) and JayC got himself a Toyota Tacoma to drive back and forth for work. It's so nice to have so much room! The kids and I love our van, and it's so nice to have a truck to move things around in. We feel so spoiled! It was super nice to have the van for our Disneyland trip. Also, a funny thing happened the day after we brought home our new vehicles, which I will share in the next post!
