June 2013

We have been enjoying our summer.  We have had lots of days that have been spent hanging in the pool and doing art projects. We have also been enjoying time with family, friends and going on MOPS activities. 

 Blue berry picking was awesome!

 A rainy day in June?? I will take it! We had so much fun jumping in the puddles.

June 25th was Aubrey's dance recital.  She did great and looked beautiful! 

 It was fun running into a preschool friend back stage.

 I was back stage with the camera so we got some dance mom pictures from the side.

 Great dad and brother who sat through the whole show!!

 June 27th was the fire station tour with MOPS.  The kids and I were excited to see our neighbor Kevin working that day.

Guess what Miss Aubrey got?

Her ears pierced!!!!

This actually happened May 25th but I had forgot to post about it before our family vacation posts.

Aubrey has been wanting to get her ears pierced.  Well actually she was really scared for a long time and anytime we walked by a Clair's in the mall she would say she didn't want it but then one time after MOPS I picked her up and she said "I'm ready mom I want my ears pierced." I was a bit caught off guard since I thought she didn't even want it.  Well time had past and she was always talking about it.  I decided to play some YouTube videos for her to see that it does hurt and to make sure this was something she really wanted.  After seeing girls cry, laugh, or yell she was still up for it.  When we went out to Modesto to play mini golf we went over to the mall after and we just kind of surprised her with it.  She was very excited and ready.  She sat in the chair and looked very serious.  The lady told her if she didn't cry she would get three lolly pops and if she cried she would get one.  There were two ladies so they could do it at the same time.  It was over in a matter of seconds and she just flinched a little.  She got her three lolly pops and ate them all at once.  She was very happy! She said it hurt a little but she was excited to have earrings. 

Vacation Day 6, Park day 5

Our last day of vacation (tear!).  We had made plans to do the princess lunch one of the days but after being able to meet all the princess in the park we decided it would be more fun to do Minnie's Breakfast in Disneyland.  We have done this breakfast 2 other times and have always enjoyed meeting some of the more unique characters that you do not see walking around in the park and the food is super yummy.   

 We are still trying to figure out who this is...

 We think from Pinoccio. The kids still crack up when they see him in our pictures.

  

 We spent our last day riding all of our favorite rides.  

It's a Small World 

 Our last night was our late night.  I had brought these glow sticks before our vacation.  They were a big hit! It was fun surprising them with them they thought they were the coolest.

 We watched the firework show over by It's a Small World it was amazing.  After the show we went on a few more rides and left the park around 11pm.  The kids loved staying up so late!

 I have had so much fun posting about our vacation it feels like I got to re-live it all.  It was such a wonderful trip.  I'm so grateful for the chance that we got to do this vacation.  We have so many amazing memories that I know we will treasure forever.  I already want to plan our next trip to Disneyland! It truly is the the happiest place on earth and I love sharing it with my family!
