Disneyland 2014

 My little water baby enjoyed playing in the warm May weather before we left for California.

 We had a 3 day Disneyland pass and spent the first day at California Adventure.

 I wasn't sure how Aubrie would react to all the characters, but she LOVED seeing them. Her favorite was Minnie Mouse of course.

 Playing at Crystal Cove: Every time a wave would hit Aubrie's feet she would squeal so loud...she loved it and didn't want to leave.

This trip to Disneyland was quite the adventure. I spent the first 4 days with a stomach bug and spent lots of time in the Disneyland bathrooms, needless to say, I didn't ride many rides. On the day before we were leaving, we were driving to Disneyland and got rear-ended in our rental car. The car that hit us from behind hit us so hard we hit into the car in front of us. We were all a little shaken up and still have some back/neck pain. Despite all the craziness, the best part of Disneyland was seeing the excitement on Aubrie's face when she saw all the characters and princesses.

Tulip Festival and Mother's Day

 For Mother's Day weekend, I wanted to spend time as a family and enjoy the unusually warm weather at the Tulip Festival. I really tried hard to get at least one picture of Aubrie in the tulips, but I guess it was wishful thinking that a 20 month old would sit still.  Needless to say, she was a busy and grumpy one (later I found out she had 4 molars coming in at the time).

 Most of my pictures turned out like the one below:

 For Mother's Day, we decided it would be fun to have a 4 generational picture taken for the future. It was fun to spend time together as girls and have lunch.  For Mother's day this year I got new flip flops and a pedicure!
