Disneyland!

This is out of order but I couldn't miss blogging about this!!

We started our year off right with a trip to Disneyland in January!

It was SO much fun!  We went with my side of the family so we had lots of helpers with our little ones.  I have found that January is THE perfect time of year to go!  We hardly had to use fast passes and the longest line we had to wait in was 30 minutes for Toy Story Mania.  The rest of the rides were like a 10 min wait! So perfect when you have little kids.  The weather was perfect with temperatures in the high 70's low 80's.  Southern California was having record highs at the time.

This was James (and I guess Stockton's too) first time going to Disneyland.  It was so fun seeing James light up and enjoy the rides and the surroundings of the happiest place on earth.

We drove down there which was not so fun ha.  We made this same trip with James when he was Stockton's age- we went to Oceanside with Carson's family and James did great!  Stockton really had a hard time. He didn't really sleep more than maybe 30 minutes at a time in the car and he wasn't really eating well on the way down.  I felt so bad. And I don't know what it is with my kids and the pressure changes when we travel but we had blow-out after blow-out while we were there with Stockton, especially in the first couple of days as he was getting used to the change.  James did the same thing when we went to Oceanside!

James loved staying in a hotel

Stockton got to go on Toy Story Mania!

The first and last character James went up to on his own

On Autopia- James looks a little nervous getting started but he loved it

This was me and Stockton much of the trip.  It was nice and low-key.

Splash Mountain

Indiana Jones- we were scared

This is a good, comfy place for a nap ;) These two were so cute together

James got to sleep with Dada, he pretty much took over the bed.  

Lunch time- I'm surprised they didn't kick us out with the mess we were making...

James loved his new toy Baga Swensen bought him

Storytellers Cafe...yum

At Storytellers Cafe- this was our last day and it was apparent.  James was in such a bad mood not to mention he was afraid of the critters.

The critter put James in time out...he didn't like that very much

On our way down we stopped in St. George for a quick visit with Cardi and Mitch and got to see their new house!

Stockton seeing the beach for the first time

A real live star fish!
