We spent three days in Disneyland, it was so much fun! Here is a small sample of our 3 days, we took a ton of pics!
Our first morning in Disneyland we went to a character breakfast. It was so much fun, we saw so many of our favorite characters! Emily obviously was the most excited to meet Minnie Mouse and Brett couldn't believe it when he saw Captain Hook! He loves Captain Hook (he was even him for Halloween) They did their "Arrrr Maties" and raised their "hooks" together!
We let the kids each pick out one toy on our last day. I laughed and took a pic when Mike held up Mickey!
California Adventure was a lot of fun too!
I especially loved the Bugs Life area, it was so creative! The kids really liked all of the rides, and Savannah was able to ride almost everything!
Here we are on the caterpillar ride. It went by giant watermelons and animal crackers, you could even smell each thing as you went by!
There have been a few changes since I went to Disneyland, the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House is now the Tarzan Tree House. It was neat to get a good view of Disneyland from the top.
Our families favorite ride of all was Pirates of the Caribbean! You can imagine with a little boy who loves pirates, he was pretty impressed! We went on it like 5 times during the 3 days we were there. Each time he would get off singing, "Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirates life for me!" It was fun to see Captain Jack Sparrow throughout the ride.
Emily and Brett right after the pirates ride!
Savannah's favorite ride was "It's a small world" She would just look around smile, laugh and clap. Seeing her like it so much we went on 5 times also. We loved going the end of April, we were able to just walk right on some rides, and the longest ride we had to wait for was about 30 minutes!
Here we are in Toon Town!
Everyone had to try to remove the sword from the stone.
Look at Em's face! She put some serious effort into trying to removing it!
Brett tried for awhile too, and in many different positions.
We loved Disneyland and just wish it didn't go by so quickly! It was so much fun to see the kids faces light up, to experience the magic! We each received a balloon at the character breakfast. I told the kids we should let the balloons go by the entrance of the Disney castle and make a wish. Brett did right away, but Emily thought about it and then let it go. Later on we were talking at the beach and she asked me if I wanted to know her wish, I told her I did. She told me that she wished she could fly........don't you just love Disneyland magic?
Make sure to turn on your sound to hear some classic Disney songs! *Mike had fun arranging them*
She really doesn't have much hair to begin with, but now she has bangs! Such a beautiful girl.
Last night she had her dance recital, here she is getting ready. She loved having curlers in her hair, getting makeup on and dressing up. She is a girl through and through.
All ready for her dance recital! She did such a great job, they sang and danced to songs from "Annie", I can't believe she is getting so big! Love you tons Em!
My sister Mandi was in town with her little girl Zoey and my mom took us all to the zoo for the day! It was kinda crazy at times watching 6 kids under 6, but it was such a great day!
Brett, Savannah and I on the train.
Brett was so excited to actually touch a snake!
This is the beach in Oceanside California, by the condo we stayed in. We had so much fun running from the waves!
Savannah loved playing in the sand, and attempting to eat it too as you can see!
Another day at the beach. In fact, this is right before we went back to the condo, right before Savannah started seizing.
Here is my cute mom with Em and Brett at Sea World! I cannot thank my parents enough for coming and helping with the kids while I was in the hospital with Savannah.
This is the day we headed back up the coast and back to the airport. Savannah was released the night before from the hospital and I think this picture speaks volumes. Mike and I couldn't stop hugging and kissing our little girl. We are so grateful that she was able to mend and that we have had no scary incidences since. Here is Mike blowing raspberries on her neck, trying to get a laugh. She was still pretty weak at this time.
Beautiful Newport Beach. It was amazing, life is amazing!
A swing set on the beach, tons of sand and the ocean just right there! Emily just kept telling me how happy she was, life cannot get any better! I have to share one thing. As we were leaving our condo, Emily was sitting next to Savannah in the car. She hadn't been able to see much of her since Savannah had been released from the hospital. I looked back and saw that Em had her hand on Savannah's cheek. Emily was smiling at her and tears were running down her cheeks. When I asked her what was wrong she just said, "I am so happy to have my baby sister". Of course, both Mike and I had tears in our eyes. 
Brett turned 4 on May 16th! He is really into Spiderman this year so we had a family party with a spiderman cake! Brett thought it was so cool! Mike made a banana cake with cream cheese frosting and then decorated it. The Web is made out of black shoestring licorice! Brett loved the cake! He kept standing by it and doing his spiderman web slinging pose!
On Saturday we had his friend Birthday party, of course it was Spiderman themed! Here he is showing he is 4 next to the giant 4 balloon Mike bought him!
We surprised Brett with a spiderman pinata! He was so excited and it was the hit of the party!
