Disneyland Round One

I think I took about a gazillion photos in one day. How can you not get the urge to snap a shot of everything at Disneyland? I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the atmosphere! Elephant shaped bushes, tiny little buildings, the look of awe and wonder on kid's faces... We were moving at such a fast pace all day, the photos aren't going to win any awards, but the memories are all there. Quincy is still talking about Disneyland (and still remembers the "scary" rides). I am a little concerned she's beginning to take after me in the scaredy-cat department. She was not too thrilled to go on any ride that involved a dark tunnel! She sure loved the dumbo ride, small world, teacups and the roller coaster in Tune Town. My favorite part of the day was just watching her so overjoyed just hanging out with Mischa & Mila, the daughters of our friends that went with us. She loves to dance, hug, tickle and giggle with her girlfriends. It was a gorgeous day with good friends. Couldn't have been better (unless we could have stretched it into three days!) Here's the first round of photos. I only got through half of them tonight so I'll have to post the rest another night.

Guess where we were this weekend...

DIN-NEE-LAN! (As Q would say!) Whew! What a weekend. SO much fun. Lots more to come, but here's a sneak peak into Quincy's first trip to Disneyland.








Also, had to share this photo from Q's swim teacher. She just finished her two week ISR refresher course. It is truly amazing. She can swim and here's the proof!

Peter Cottontail Has Come & Gone!

This poor, poor blog has been so low on the list of priorities these days. This is my sad attempt at catching it up. We've been a busy little family and I don't see life slowing down any time soon... it is actually going to get even crazier here in the next month or two.

I am usually a girl of few words anyway, especially late at night after editing photos, so I won't blab on too much here! I'll let the photos speak for themselves tonight.... I'm spent!

ABOVE: Easter Egg Hunt at Quincy's daycare. Daddy surprised us by showing up! Photo above is Quincy next to her "friend" Madelyn. Madelyn cracks us up every day! She is what you would stereotypically call a "bruiser". Every morning when Q gets to school, Madelyn runs over and basically puts her in a head lock as a sign of affection. When we ask Q what she did at school, she often says "Madelyn squished me" while showing us how she squishes her face. As far as school violence goes, it's so adorable.



ABOVE: Dying Easter Eggs! The first photo in this series may just be the first EVER that she has looked at me and smiled on command!

ABOVE: My attempt at making a fun Easter breakfast: Pink eggs with toast ears and an orange mouth. Does it even slightly resemble a bunny? Okay, maybe an Easter wolf? Okay, so I need a little more practice.

ABOVE: Quincy opening her Easter bag of goodies from Grandma Wood. She loved every single thing in the bag! Grandma always knows just what to get her!

BELOW: The rest are all from Easter Sunday. :)
