The kids first trip to the beach.

To break up our three days in the park we took the kids to Newport beach in between the 2nd and 3rd day. It was overcast so I expected it to be chilly. Once you got in the water it wasn't bad at all. Kiersten had a lot of fun at first until a wave hit her really high and she got water in her mouth. After that she went and built a sandcastle with Adam for a long time. When she goes on and on about her Disneyland rants its really funny to ask her about the beach. She says "Ooh the beach was soooo cooooold (she will even fake shiver here). I went in the water and rolled around. It tasted Icky! Then I chased birdies and said GO AWAY BIRDIES!" Bradley had a ton on fun in the water- which really surprised me! He doesn't like to swim at all but he kept dragging me further and further out into the water. He tripped a few times and tumbled with the waves but he jumped right back up and tried to go further out. This picture was perfectly timed! I love Bradley's face!

Date Night at Midieval times

In the midst of all the chaos, Adam and I had our friends who we were staying with in the area watch the kids on Wednesday so we could get a date night. We went back to the park and rode Star Tours- which has totally changed since we had been there last. Then we went to Medieval times where we had such a great time!! They really switched up the story line since the last time I was there. Afterwards we had time to go back to the park on our way back to our "home" for the week. I FINALLY rode the Space Mountain ride, which we almost couldn't do because it broke down for the second time that day.

Disneyland!

The next day after graduation we took off for Disneyland to celebrate Adam's graduation. It was perfect timing because the kids are still 2- which means they are free. It was the week before memorial day so most schools were still in session, and it wasn't too hot yet. Just before the tram on the first day- we were all very excited! Pinocchio was just as we entered into the park. The kids had no clue what to do with a huge cartoon character. I LOVE this picture of Bradley! His face is priceless! Kiersten was in LOVE with Princess Aurora at Goofy's Kitchen. She kept running up to her and giving her hugs. It was well worth it! Kiersten and Bradley tell us everyday that the Pirates ride was soo scary but then it got silly. Then they tell us about every ride. The rockets were soo fast! The dinosaurs on the choo choo ride were soo scary. I Love Minnie, and Mickey, and Goofy, etc! They have seriously asked everyday since we have been home to go back there. Kiersten even put her shoes on and announced she was leaving to go back to Disneyland today when Adam was leaving.

Adam Graduated!!!

On May 20th Adam graduated from Chico State with a Bachelors in Music Education to be a band teacher. Here is Adam with all the students who graduated in their program and their Band Director From left to right with first names only there's Mary, Geoff, Ruben, Rose, Dr. Tevis, and Adam. Good timing too since they suspended the program for next year (which will kill it entirely, but don't get us started). Adam's Dad Ken and Stepmom Trina came into town from Utah- which was awesome since they hadn't seen our minions in over two years. It was a very bright and hot day with very little shade, Smiles were hard to come by after the ceremony. This picture sums it up wonderfully haha (Siiiiide story- do this a lot... So I had a conversation with a friend about the difference of sidekicks and minions. A Sidekick is a companion to a superhero and has their own agency to choose right. Pretty Cool. Minion is the companion if an evil person and they do their masters every will... My kids don't listen very well and I would like them to obey my will. And besides- doesn't Mitchell Minions sound catchier?! And end side note!)

100th Post!

Welcome to my 100th blog post! yay! Ok so there's not really any context to this post. But I'm about to post a TON of things! So much has happened in the last month- Adam graduated, We went to Disneyland, kids first time at the beach, I went on a girls trip to go temple hopping. So seriously blessed! Happy Blogging!

Kiersty's Garden

Here is our two week update of our garden. Kiersty LOVES her garden and asks to go out there almost every minute of they day. Her problem is though that she knows how to turn the hose on and refuses to leave it alone. I can try to block her way to it, cover it, distract her. Nada. Here is my pretty little girl with her flower. I took this a day or two ago and it has already doubled from here.

Spare the Air Day

Adam rides the bus every day to school and back because its free for Chico State students. The kids have been asking to ride the Daddy Bus everyday when he leaves to go to school. Yesterday Adam text me that bus rides were free all day for spare the air day. Hmm I bet the kids would love to ride the bus today. Waiting for the bus...

Someone left the window open on the bus and the kids were in hog heaven! No car seats AND I can stick my face out the open window to feel the breeze?? Note: they couldn't fit their whole head out the window!

After we got downtown we went to eat at the Bear with Daddy. He taught them how to play the shoot'em up game.

After this we walked around downtown for a bit at the Farmer's Market and then caught the bus home. They were EXHAUSTED when we got home, which was good because the new Big Bang was coming on in 30 minutes. Haha. Its the only show we care about now a days. I LOVE Amy- she's Hilarious!
