DISNEYLAND!!!

Karly has been to Disneyland a couple times now and, like any kid, she could not wait to go back! (To be honest, me either... I just can't get enough of that place!) When I started back to work I told her that I was going to work so that I could get some money to take her to Disneyland and we finally found a day that we all had off this past Friday and I surprised her that morning... here is the video...

I was so excited the night before that I couldn't sleep =)

The day turned out to be wonderful!!!

Just getting started!... Bathrooms first... a must! =)

Karly telling Grandma Telly stories.

Two Goofs.

Every morning at Disneyland the Mad Hatter and his Band play (Karly LOVES this part) and this time Alice joined them.

This was my first time seeing Disneyland all decked out for Halloween... too cute! Another reason I LOVE THIS PLACE... they have a sign up front saying no one is allowed to wear scary costumes here... anyone who knows me, knows I'm not into the scary thing! =/

All us girls getting ready to go on It's A Small World.

Grandma and June Bug.

Soooo EXCITED!!!

Meee Too!!!

Abby's first time... she was kicking her feet and smiling the whole time... SHE LOVED IT!

Had to get a picture by the Tinker Bell Pumpkin.

Abby was a doll the whole day!

Karly was a good girl too and got her face painted again... sooo pretty!

And she met her first princess... she was so cute... after we got the picture she looks over at Abby and grabs her face, gives her a kiss and says, "Abby, did you meet da princess... she's so pretty huh?... I love you!"

Time for the carousel, one of Kar's favorites... and she rode with the expert, our Lil Pony Maym.

Abby got stuck with me =)

Then we waited for the parade...

Girls

 I think one of the best parts of being a mom is experiencing a Disneyland parade with your little one. I actually had to try and stop myself from tearing up, just seeing how excited she got with EVERY character she saw and EVERY princess that would wave to her. Really it's an indescribable feeling that I wish for everyone to experience!

 Goofy Kate

 Maym you ol dog!

 Mousey me!

 Karly's fav... Donald the Duck!

 Mom with Minnie... and Abby too =)

My blue eyed baby.

 Cotton candy time after watching Phineas and Ferb's dance party.

 Karly was tall enough this time to go on the Mattahorn... I WAS SO EXCITED... Katie and Amy were nervous =/ They said this ride is going to make or break this Disneyland trip, either she will love it or hate it...

 SHE LOVED IT!!! That's my girl!!! Here she is telling Aunt Kate about the scary snowmen, which was her favorite part =)

She is going to be my roller coaster buddy =)

As most of you know, at California adventure park they have Electronica where the whole place turns into a glow in the dark night club... sooo neat... and my little girl can't hear music without breaking out her dance moves..

 ... I got a video of it but it won't upload =( Let's just say Ricky and I watch a ton of reality dance shows on tv...

 Her favorite is break dancing, hip-hop and contemporary...

Oh and she shares my LOVE for Michael Jackson music =)

She was cracking us up and even had a crowd around her!

 hahaha

 Go Kar, Go Kar!

 Again... That's my girl... together, we will turn her daddy's face the deepest red it can get =)

 And here is my second little dancer in the making =)

We had a blast... and I NEVER get tired of it... I'm already planning the next trip =)

Man I love my girls!

 Aside from Disneyland trips... We got the go ahead from the Doctor to go ahead and try almost all foods with Abby now..

Oatmeal...

 ... was a no go =/

 We celebrated Nana's Birthday this past weekend as well...

 ... Kar got all dolled up...

 And... weird story... Amy was actually at Nana's birthday too. She is dating one of Ricky's cousins...

 ... he actually use to work at Starbucks and they met without any of our help... crazy small world!

So here is Amy and Zack =)
And... I did not get one picture of the beautiful Birthday girl =( But she will hopefully enjoy the pictures of all her family... Nana, we love you so much and wish you a VERY Happy Birthday again!!!

Happy Birthdays!!!

September really starts all the birthdays in our families, and from then til about August there is no slowing down =)... Ricky's actual birthday is tomorrow, but we celebrated this past weekend (Yes, we are both the big 3-0 this year =)...

My two favorite guys! Ricky and his Dad...for his birthday I bought them both a round of golf at the Celebrity golf course where the show the Big Break was played last season... they are pretty excited to go, and maybe a little nervous =)

Here is just a handful of the kids in our family... Macy, Karly, Carlos and Bella... swinging in this beautiful weather we have been having!

Katie made Jello shots for all of us... too CUTE! And very yummy =)

And in this family we NEVER forget about the kids! They had their own (alcohol free) jello shots too =)

And the beautiful miss Emmy Bleu is 7 months now and just adorable.

Karly helped her Daddy open maybe one of his presents and then wanted to go play with her cousins... all morning she would wait at the window and say "I'm looking for my tousins!"

He got a ton of great gifts as usual, let's just say he is all geared up to go golfing for his birthday! =)

By her sons request, Kathie made her Tirmasu cake that she made last year... soooooo yummy!

Littlest tush in the world... she had so much fun helping her daddy blow out his birthday candles that she decided to blow out all the rest of the candles in the house.

I had fun decorating for the party, but didn't get to get a picture of all of the cute decorations due to a slight malfunction with oil on the stove while making mozarella sticks and almost burning down my house 5 minutes before the party started =/... let's just say the malfunction was with my brain, and THANK GOD my husband was there... that's all you get, I don't want to talk about it anymore!!! =)

My mom made a cute flower arrangement for my dining table... and we had cute "greens" with golf tees as our coasters =) I also had the outside table covered in a green grass table cover and to complete the golf theme, we had a putting green in the hall way as you walked in... haha, cute huh?!? (Would have been great without the added layer of smoke as everyone walked in =)

Bella is a crack up and just too stinkin adorable and this picture shows all of that!!!

Karly teaching her baby sister!

Miss Ab is now pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and can crawl faster than I can walk!

She just had her 6 month check up on monday and is as healthy as can be =) My adorable little chubby only gained a pound since last visit and grew so much taller now that she is on the go!!!

The past two parties before Ricky's were at Michelles house for Danny's birthday and then Macy's... they just had TWO litters of puppy's, Me and Kar were in heaven =)

LOVE IT!!!

And man does he LOVE her! =)

I know I have spoke of this bond between Karly and Carlos before... SHE JUST ADORES HIM!!! She says to me, "Mom, where's my Tarlos?"... then she found him laying on the couch watching tv, cuddled up behind him and started playing with his hair and put him to sleep... they stayed there for the rest of the night... soooo cute!!!

Ahhh and the cuteness is just everywhere you look =)

Auntie Shel and our June bug.

Our two youngest... we have gotten that Abby looks like a ton of different people in both our families, Katie has said before that she sees a little of Grandpa Seth, I see that in this picture!

My little dresser upper =)

Macy had a Zebra birthday and asked her Grandma to make her a wedding cake =) Way to go Kath... Beautiful and Delicious! So are you Macy =)

In between all the birthdays we are enjoying this weather and spa time =)

Happy Birthday to my handsome husband, I love you more than words can say! =) I will join you in the thirty's real soon.. for now just enjoy having a younger wife =) hahahaha
