Go To Disney With Us & Leave a Little Stranger

Today was our third and final day at Disneyland. We had lots of fun! On our first day at Disneyland I purchased a season pass. I need to go just one more time this year and the pass will have paid for itself. Woo hoo!

Something that's not "woo hoo"- an 80-something year old lady had a heart attack either on Indiana Jones or just after. They had to stabilize her and call for an ambulance. Pretty sad.

Anyways....

Caught SIL, Stephanie, in a parade. Don't worry- she's wearing a wig

I've seen her perform in this parade a ton of times yet I still take a bazillion pictures of her. 

It's a tradition that we call D's best friend, Adam, while we're on Big Thunder Mountain. Usually the call ends up being a voice mail. 

D always cracks us up with what he says while on the phone

Brother love

Peat and repeat

Not sure what's going on in this one, but we're waiting to go on Tower of Terror.

We found Cousin It. 

(How terrible are we for taking pics of other people at d-land? Sad thing is our people-watching comments are even worse.)

Us on the Tower of Terror (back row)

I married this guy?

Disney has an Erin Snack Bar: cereal, Oreos, Chips Ahoy, and GIANT bags of Crisps*. It's like they knew I was coming!

Family picture...Steph met up with us after her parade.

*Crisps are packages of freeze-dried fruit that you can get from Costco. They don't last long in our house. 

The Foundation of My Diet

I inherited my dad's sweet tooth. (My first word was "cookie.") Most of the time I'm planning on when and how I'm going to get something sweet to eat.

If I were to draw out a Food Pyramid of Wifey, instead of fruits/ veggies/ grains at the foundation it'd have my 5 C's: cookies, cake, candy, crackers, and cereal. Anytime is a good time these 5 C's. Period.

My in-law's eat really healthy so it's very rare to find my "foundation" at their house. (Except cereal) While running errands yesterday we decided that we needed something sweet to eat after dinner. (YES!!) After sampling red velvet cake from Costco I was excited that I wasn't the only one who thought it was necessary to have since I didn't have cake on my birthday. It was one of the best cakes that I've had in awhile. Most of us had it again for breakfast this morning.

Bigger than father-in-laws!

Oh happy birthday to me... almost two months after the real thing.

Extra thick

Beach & Disney

Yesterday we spent half of the day at the beach. My attempts to not get horrifically sunburned are working. The spray sunblock works the best but I cannot get it off my skin... even three days after the first time I put it on.

Lil pup is doing great. He loves the weather and having a cool backyard to hang out in.

Getting ready to head to dinner and Disney.

Attempting a semi-family picture always has this result.

Heading to see the re-released Captain EO. Ummm... interesting show if you haven't seen it. Mix Star Wars with Labyrinth with Michael Jackson. You'll leave with a lot of jokes.

Small World

The boys

We ended the night with a special treat. I attacked a funnel cake while everything else chose icecream. I admit that I snuck a few bites even though I'm the icecream hater.

San Clemente Days 2 & 3

Getting ready to surf and, "shreddin' the gnar"

Wy is ready to catch some waves, too.

Nice and pasty

Nice warm day at Doheny Beach

Surfin' brothers

D helped out at Wy's waterpolo practice.

(Side note: he shaved his head earlier today)

D and Wy. Wy is the youngest on his team by at least 3 years. He does a great job keeping up with the 11 and 12 yr olds

The Weekend
