Catching up

I havent had much time to update our blog. Anika is teething big time, she has 4 theeth coming in all at once, plus she has a cold. Those two together are causing her to be VERY grumpy! She calms down when we go for a walk or play outside. When she doesnt calm down I just put her to bed. I'm also discovering that Anika is a tantrumer...is that a word?...When she's upset, she screams and throws herself on the ground. Not a good sign since she's not even one yet! Man! She is a sweetie but definately feisty.

We took the kids to Disneyland last Tuesday. We had a blast! All Caylin could talk about was seeing the princesses, she was so excited to see Sleeping Beauty's castle, but we couldnt find any princesses. Aiana was excited to ride Space Mountain, and Thunder Mountain, she just recently overcame her fear of roller coasters...I was just as excited as she was! The wait time for rides was only 5 minutes. It was a perfect day! We never did get to meet any of the princesses, we found out later there is a specific area we had to go to see them, but when we got there they were closed. Good thing Caylin didnt know about it yet. She did get to see them in the parade.

Some of the cute things that came out of Caylin's mouth:

1. When we arrived at Disneyland, we told Caylin to keep her eye out for the princesses. When we turned to look at her she looked very concerned and said "You want me to take my eye out?"

2. When I asked her if she wanted to ride Dumbo, she told me "You cant ride it because your bottom wont fit."

Over the weekend we celebrated my brother's 30th birthday. We took him and his wife out to dinner downtown to the Ocean Room. We went to dinner at 7:30pm and were ready to head home by 10:30. I cant believe my friends and I didnt even leave the house until at least 10:30pm to hit the town (before kids)! I was feeling pretty old! I had a great time with my bro! Check out these photos of my brother and I.
