Merry Christmas to all...

Happy birthday my big seven year old!!

My little girl is seven today and I just can't believe I have a seven year old. What a blessing Mckaela is to us. She has just always been just a sweet spirit in our house and we love her soooo much.
Seven things I love about her:
1. Such a good big sister. Addison has a little second mom.
2. A very good student, loves to read, draw, make little books and is one smart little girl.
3. Always willing to help out with anything.
4. A good dancer. This year she is in hip-hop and she has shown me some funky moves she has learned.
5. Beautiful smile and her one dimple.
6. Let's me still do her hair.
7. Still will cuddle:)
Her daddy went to have school lunch with her and then after school we are off to build-a-bear, that is what she wanted for her birthday, so it will be a fun little date with her. Love you Mckaela Parker. Happy Birthday!

The big surprise....

Well Ryan has out done himself this year:) What an amazing Hubby I have and I want to thank him for making this a really special birthday for me. (It's really the 13th)But this is kindof a big one and for me it means a lot more. I have always been this "young" mom. So people have said. People would actually come up to me and say are you their mother, you look to young to have kids, like I am this teenager having babies or even people would guess my age and it was always 21 maybe 22, I know I should be flattered but really I'm not it does bother me! So to turn 30 I feel like OK I might finally be old enough to have my babies. (Just venting for a min.)
So Ryan planned a little get away for us and a fun way to celebrate this big event:) He told me to pack a bag for over night and then we were off, start heading toward the airport and then contiune to board a plane heading to Orange County, Califonia. Yes I was very excited at this point but we were just there two weeks ago, so what are we going to do? We get there and he takes me to one of my favortie resturants, Cheese cake factory and then we were off the the Hondan Center. Crowds of people walking in, full stadium, and lots of screaming girls. It was awesome! One of the biggest concerts was about to start it was called The Jingle Ball put on by Ryan Seacrests Radio station...who was there.. Just to name a few. Rihanna, Akon, Katy Perry, Pussy cat dolls, Tokio Hotel,(never heard of them) Jesse McCartney, David Banner, and then the best one was last, one of my favorites right now, Chris Brown. It was so much fun and soooo loud! We could not hear anything for hours after but it was such a fun night and we danced just like the best of them. Thanks honey this really was a fabulous birthday presant. I love you!!!

Birthday Boy..

So our little boy has turned Five!(Nov. 30th) Brendan really is a fun addition to our family, he keeps us on our toes, loves to torture his sisters and is always willing to snuggle even when being forced:) He Loves to color, do puzzles, paint and play spiderman. We love our Brendan.
For his birthday we decided to combined him and Mckaela's(Dec. 18th) party and get both of them done at the same time. We went to a new bounce house by us Jumpin Jacks and they each got to invite a few friends and just have some fun. Which I think they did:)

Disneyland

Well I am finally posting about Disneyland. Only a couple weeks late!

Our big group. Ryan's parents, grandma, three sisters, one brother and soon to be brother-in-law:)
Little Addison was with Grandma and Grandpa back home but we sure missed her.
We loved meeting Mickey Mouse.
All the Christmas decorations were up so everything looked so festive.

We had such a good time, the weather was perfect and the kids were really great the whole time considering we walked for two days straight. We flew to Cali on a Saturday, drove around San Diego, went shopping and just hung out for a little bit there. Then drove to the time share and crashed, we were very tired! Sunday it was a beautiful day, so we went to the beach and played. The kids had so much fun playing in the sand, chasing the waves but I think the best part was covering daddy with sand and turning him into a merman:) But then the really fun all started on Monday (and Tuesday) when we finally got to go to Disneyland. Ryan's family also came and played with us there. We had about twelve of us all together and it really was fun to be with everyone. This was just a great trip to have fun with the kids and just enjoy the time together. They loved meeting all the different princesses, mickey, mini, woody and many others. Brendan even got into having them sigh his little autograph book:) I must say it is the happiest place on earth.
