The Goods: June 2013

Here we are waiting to board the plane for California, Jayden was a tired girl and even slept on the plane the whole way . . . such a good girl! Plus look how cute her face looks all smashed!

Ryder getting treats from Aunt Annie before we have even boarded the plane!

The Long Beach Aquarium was AWESOME! Here Ryder is NOT touching a Jellyfish even though we could touch these ones . . . he is a little afraid. : )

Yup! You better believe it, I am touching a shark in this picture!

Ryder and Grandpa enjoying all the sharks at the Aquarium

Our sweet fam . . . getting so big now!

The gang just walking around Long Beach after the Aquarium

Here we are on Balboa Beach right by where we stay in Newport

Disneyland was a total blast! Ryder and Jayden were the best kids anyone could even ask for on this trip!

Yay for Mater!

Little Mermaid

Anyone need any sunscreen??? Pretty sure Randy accidentally put on enough for a family of 10! : )

Daddy Daughter moment! Christian sure loves his baby girl, he is already so protective of her . . . good luck with that in the future baby girl!!!

How can you even resist her in her hilarious sun hat! She is still too young for sunscreen so we had to keep her precious skin covered.

The only way to do some rides at Disneyland is Single Rider . . . that way you don't have to wait hours to go on it. So here we are about to say goodbye to each other and go sit with complete strangers on the California Screamin' Coaster.

Randy, Ryder and I on Luigi's Tires! Such a fun ride, but be careful if you are in a skirt/dress like I was. It uses high pressure amounts of air that keep you moving so it is a bit of a Marilyn Monroe experience if you know what I mean!

CarolLynne, Ryder (again) and Christian. Ryder loved this one so much he needed to go again!

Ryder thought Mater's Tractor ride was hilarious! We did this one multiple times as well!

Ryder and his Grandma about to go on Buzz

Roo leaves in a couple weeks so this picture is tribute to him! Love you Roo! Good luck on the mission, we are so proud of you.

Ryder and his Grandpa on the Jungle Cruise - always one of Ryder's favorites.

Just waiting for the parade

Our tired boy catching a quick nap in the stroller before more rides!

Hanging out after the parade, you can tell Danos loved it! ; )

He had to ride the horse all by himself!

Sweet baby girl

This is her thinking pose!

The whole crew after dinner at Rainforest

On Mainstreet waiting for the fireworks . . .oh wait "Because of winds at higher elevations tonight's fireworks have been cancelled" bummer : (

Ryder was so slap happy he wouldn't stop kissing Christians cheek!

Ryder and Grandpa catching a quick snooze

Ryder and his Aunt Annie checking out all the fish

This was such an amazing trip! Thanks again Randy and CarolLynne, and everyone in the fam for helping us out with the kiddos too! Love you!

Here we are at Gio's graduation, BIG day for their family!

Sweet Grandpa Ken took our little family to the Bees game and it was so fun! He even bought Ryder a sweet jersey and hat! Thanks Grandpa Ken, we love you!
