3rd Birthday Party

The twins are 3!! I can't believe the Bridget and Ethan are three years old. This year we decided to throw them a birthday party. We invited a few friends from church and had a Mickey/Minnie party at the park. The kids had a great time.


My friend Angel made the cake, its so cute! It was minnie on one side and mickey on the other.

Best part of a party is eating the leftover cake!

Disneyland!

Disneyland! I LOVE Disneyland. I know its crowded and a long day, but I love the feeling of being there. I love to watch peoples faces when they first get there and when they come out of a ride or show. I have been waiting till I can take my kids. I had been hesitant because Disneyland is a commitment. Its not far but traffic can make for a long trip and its expensive and could be horrible if moods are not right. Joseph had a conference in Anaheim and had to stay over night at a hotel. I saw this as a perfect chance to stay and be right there in the morning, took out traffic out. The kids were not quite three yet so they were still free, I was given a free pass so that took the price out. The next big thing was is I wanted to take two two year olds to Disneyland for the day, by myself. hmmmm.

Well I decided to go for it. And I am so happy we did. We had a wonderful day. It wasn't too crowded and the kids were such great listeners. We were able to do everything that we wanted ans so much more. We had such a great time that we got passes for the whole year form my parents for the kids birthday! Yay! Hope the next times, go as well as this trip.


Small World:
Buzz Lightyear -a hit for Ethan

We rode the tea cups three times!

My only complaint - can not have chains at all the rides, this is how Ethan waited for everything

But its worth it for that smile :)

Fishing

On Labor Day we decided to have a new adventure and take the kids fishing for the first time. We went out early in the morning at Castaic Lake. Ethan and Bridget were so excited. The practiced the night before at my parents house in the swimming pool, so they were ready to take on the lake. Ethan really got the hang of it and was able to cast his line perfectly by himself. He was really proud. We didn't catch any fish but still had a great morning.
