And because we’re crazy

After our fair fiasco, what not better thing to do but then go to Disneyland.  Thankfully Shannon stayed home with Bean so it was a little less crazy.  We opted to walk vs taking the tram so we rode in the Monorail.  Kenzie’s first time!

Whenever we go, we try to do something new or something we haven’t done in awhile.  The line was short to meet the Fairies so something new #2 it was!

The girl who was monitoring the line was very sweet and kept Mackenzie entertained while we waited our turn.

What I love about these meet the character lines is that they do so much more than smile and take a picture.  They spend easily 2-3 minutes chatting and even though Kenzie is pretty quiet, don’t cut her time.

We enjoyed a spin around the teacups.

Shannon was sure to capture some sweet pictures of Bean.

She has the craziest bed head after waking up from a nap or bedtime.

As a thank you Aunty Shannon came over for dinner and we caught Kenzie and Avery playing together.  So sweet!

OC Fair

Jeff and I typically go to the LA County Fair but we made a special trip to the OC Fair with the family.  In hindsight, I don’t know what we were thinking.  It was in the 90’s, Bean had major diaper rash and needed to be changed immediately and we went right smack in the middle of what should have been Kenzie’s nap time.  Thankfully we only paid $2 per person.

Bean had her lunch bottle in the car on the way over.  She’s so cute!

While we were in line buying tickets to get in, Bean pooped.  And because her rash was so bad, I was freaking out looking for a bathroom.  So while Danny & the girls went through a World’s Largest Snake exhibit, I tracked down a bathroom to change a poopy diaper.

Once Bean had a clean diaper, we went through one of the exhibit halls that had a bunch of reptiles to view.  By then we were expecting Chad and Crystal to arrive so we hung out by the food-yum, and got some icees to cool us down.

After a few minutes CCHN arrived and all the cousins posed for a picture.

And then Kenzie fell.  And started crying and needed a nap.  And Bean needed another diaper change.  We changed Bean’s diaper (this time found an actual baby changing center-the best thing ever) and then headed out.  No rides, no games, no animals.  Just snakes and an icee.

Thank goodness we have the LA Fair to try it all over again!

Pirate’s Table

Jeff and I have been wanting to get Kenzie a water table for a long time.  She loves to use the stopper in the sink and just splash and talk away.  Jeff found one on Amazon that had good reviews and prime shipping.  Two days later, she had her pirate’s ship!

Since it was warm out, we took it to the garage, filled it with some water and let her play.

She loved it!  So much that she was drenched from reaching over to get toys.

It was one of the best purchases made for her! 

It’s a little sad when you can tell she’s growing up.  She’s into picking out her clothes and shoes.  Is very particular about the color rubber band in her hair.  And here she is singing to her reflection.

Avery 5 Months

My sweet girl!

iphone 5 pictures 7-26-15 018

I cannot believe it’s been five quick months since you’ve been born.  You were 8lbs 4oz that day in February and now you are a whooping 15lbs 8oz!  We split up your vaccines so you had two visits of shots but you did great!

This month was definitely the month where you went from being content to just hang out in your carseat to hating it!  Sarah was able to take you to the movies early this month but by the end of it, you wanted to talk and play.  The same with our church visit.  The first one you slept through the whole service.  The second, up and vocal!

Probably the biggest milestone you hit this month, rolling over!  It took you awhile but you got the hang of it eventually.  You also found your toes and love to suck on them.  This is new for mom and dad to see, big sister was not that flexible!

You celebrated your first 4th of July and went on a family vacation to 3 Rivers.  One of the spots mommy went to when she was young.

You can see the bumper in these sister pics, that’s because you are completely in your crib and doing great.  Apparently you love sleep (for now) and enjoy having a dark, quiet room.  Mommy is slightly dreading crawling as this might impact your sleep.

You and sister have different color hair but are starting to slowly look more alike!  I love you my sweet Bean!
