Princess Camp

Just a few more pictures from our trip to Disneyland. Lauren somehow decided that "Princess Camp" was at Disneyland. It turns out she was right. There is a whole new place there where the princesses do performances and autographs, pictures etc... Pretty fun, but takes forever to wait in line. Anyway, we told Lauren that she could go to Princess Camp as soon as she was completely potty trained. This was her motivation and believe me it worked (it was worth it too). Lauren was so excited!

Disneyland

Ready for our adventure!

What a fun day! We got to go on almost every ride that we wanted to. It was pretty hot, but not over crowded. The boy's favorite was 'The Matterhorn'. They liked it because it was "fast, crazy and furious" (a direct quote from Christian). We usually don't get on that one so maybe it was a bit of a novelty too. Lauren said her favorite was the 'Whinnie the Pooh' ride. She went twice with her little cousin Matthew. Even baby Lana was able to go on that ride with us.

Birthday Girl

Our cute girl had her birthday this week! She turned four. Lauren was so excited about it too. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she said, "balloons". She also got lots of other fun things. I think her favorite was her Barbie that swims with the dolphins, and can be taken in the bath tub. Now Lauren wants to take a bath several times a day. I can't believe she is growing up so fast. Happy Birthday Lauren - we love you!

Back to School

We actually had two back to school days here. Christian started Junior High School if you can believe it. He went to school a day before everyone else, just for the seventh grade students. They were able to find classes, lockers and everything else that you need to do on your first day of Jr. High school. Pizza was served for lunch and Christian had a great day!



Christian's comments about his first day: "My first day of school was awesome!"

He looked so cute didn't he? Wow, he is really growing up. What a good kid.

Landon and Gavin went to school the following day. Here are some pictures of them heading out to school:



What cute boys!
Landon had a really fun day at school. He said, 'It was really fun!! We played name games and get to know you games."


Gavin was so excited for school. His first day was "Good" and that was about all I got out of him. He did tell me that he really likes to eat lunch at school and he also loves recess. Typical.
