Who Needs to Play with Toys???

I have given up on getting upset over things like this.

I just let them play.

And then, we put them away when they are done.

Where to Find Dean in the Back Yard

This is typically where Dean can be found it the sliding glass door is open. Yep, that is the dog bowl;)

Princess Milan's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Milan's 4th Birthday at Disneyland and Downtown Disney.

We went to the park and went on a few rides and saw Mickey Mouse.

Then it was off to Bibbity Bobbity Boutique for hair, makeup, and nails.

When the princess was done, little birds opened the curtain for her to see the mirror.

Of course Cinderella needed to visit her carriage.

Then it was off to Rainforest Cafe with the family.

Auntie M made a princess birthday cake.

Milan had fun being a princess for a day and now she has her Halloween costume:)

Cupcake Fun

Mommy and Me Art Class

Milan and I got to do art together this summer. It was in her preschool class.

They had 5 stations set up each time.

Milan had a lot of fun and we came away with some really cute artwork:)

I love how Milan sticks her tongue out whenever she is concentrating.

San Diego Trip

I have not blogged in sooo long. The kids look older now than they do in these pictures! Oh well, better late than never. We went to the bay, the zoo, and Sea World. The kids loved the bay.

Nice big sister huh???

Dean and daddy:)

I think the sea lions were Dean's favorite part of the trip.

Milan fed the sea lions.

On a recommendation from Sara, we had lunch with Shamu (it is not really Shamu, but whatever). It was pretty cool to be so close to a whale for an entire meal.

The kids loved the tide pools.

Hanging out with a hippo.

The O.C. Fair

We went to the fair last weekend with cousin Callan and Auntie M. We started by looking at all the animals at the farm.

Milan and Callan got to pet the chicks.

We saw lots of babies - chicks, kids, a calf, and piglets.

We got close to some sheep.

The reason this guy stepped it up? To try to eat the strap on my diaper bag, of course!

They were sizing each other up:)

The kids of course went on lots of rides:)

Dean could not go on the rides, but was able to taste test everything:) Here you see fried, fried, and more fried food (we are good parents huh).

Milan got lady bugs painted on her face.

In the end, Milan spent a lot of time on this obsticle course.

Dean was a trooper and hung out in the stroller most of the day.

But even without walking much, the little guy was still tired out by the fair:)
