Many Summer Adventures

We were so busy this summer so instead of doing a bunch of seperate blogs I'm going to put some of my favorite pics from our summer into 1 post! So here goes!!

In the beginning of the summer Tiffany, Kodi Lynn, Delaney and I went to Disneyland for a couple of hours. It was a great time but bittersweet since it was our last Disneyland trip with Tiffany and Kodi Lynn. We miss you!! The girls got their faces painted and we went on a couple of rides.

What a great summer! There are so many more pics from things I didn't even mention but I think all these photos show how busy our summer was. What a way to live life!! Thank you to all of our family and friends who made our summer so wonderful. We love you all!

Another Disneyland Trip

Ryan and I took the kids to Disneyland again. We've never gone before with just the 4 of us so it was a really special day. It was raining on us when we were driving out there so we were worried about the weather but boy did it change! It was soo hot the rest of the day. The kids and I all had on jeans and t-shirts and we were all wet with sweat.

We started the day in California Adventure so that we could go on the new Toy Story ride. It was really fun and both kids enjoyed it. We went on the zephyrs next and Delaney and Bryse had the hugest grins on their face the whole time. Bryse loved peeking over the side at everything below. After that we went to "A Bug's Life" area and went on the caterpillar and the ladybug ride. We ate lunch after that and headed over to Disneyland to see the Toy Story "Woody's Roundup" show they have right now. It was cute. Delaney was in the front row and was so excited to see Woody, Jessie and Bullseye. She took a picture with Woody afterwards....Bryse wouldn't go near him. We were looking forward to seeing all of the halloween decorations (they were really cute) but I was kind of disappointed that they didn't have a halloween parade (it's the same one they always have). Of course we hit up Delaney's favorite roller coaster ride in Toon Town and then we got her face painted ( i was surprised she picked a butterfly and not her usual Ariel or Tinkerbell). We went on the Nemo ride too and Delaney and Bryse both liked it. It was a great family day that we definitely needed!!

Delaney started dance

Delaney started taking dance lessons at the Dancers studio on Sunnyside Dr. (next to the Post Office) in Riverside. This is the studio that my cousin Jenn went to her whole life and also taught at. Delaney was so excited to start the lessons. She picked out her leotard and wanted to wear her tap shoes all over the place. She's one of the youngest in her class so all she wants to do is look at herself in the mirror. It's the cutest thing watching all the little girls do their kicks and pliees (i have no idea how to spell that!). Next time I want to bring the video camera and get some footage to share.
