Disneyland 2011!!


Staley was hesitant about Splash Mountain as well. But ended up loving it and wanting to ride it a lot with Noah. I love the picuture of us on this ride. Staley is holding his breath by plugging his nose because Jimmy told him that his tummy wouldn't hurt if he held his breath.




Mickey's Trick or Treat Party
Staley got to meet Storm Troopers. He made sure to "Force" them before we left. they totally played along. It was great
The kids at the end of the Party. Very tired
I have a very real fear of clowns. They are not cute and funny, nor are they for kids. They are from satan, and evil. Just my opinion. So...Jay dressed up as an evil clown. So we thought we would take a picture to document the event.
Staley coloring at the party after busting a move at the dance party


Love this picture! This was taken inside the Castle


Pretty sure Amy is working on the Jungle Cruise. Another ride we rode a lot!!

Staley and Noah on the Haunted Mansion ride. They were so brave to ride it together alone this year. That didn't happen last year. Amy and Jay are next to them.

These pictures are horrible of me but so hilarious I had to post them. Staley was very hesitant to ride this ride. And by hesitant, I mean we forced him on the ride kicking and screaming. So these are pics of his first time on the ride. Jimmy and Jay sat in front of us. After this he was hooked and Staley and Noah had to ride this over and over again until I got a little sick. They called it the "Wildest Ride in the West!"




I have no words...Jay and Jimmy getting cozy on Big Thunder Railroad










California Adventures Day with Brody, Vance and Ari. Jim and Wendy were shopping in Disneyland for awhile.
This is a picture of Brody fishing Vance's shoe out of the water at California Adventures. I am happy to report that he was able to retrieve the flip flop and Vance was able to live another day.





Staley was obsessed with Churros on this trip. He made me buy him 2 at a time. He kept calling them tootsie rolls so we didn't know what he was asking for at first. Finally we walked by a Churro stand and he started freaking out. So the trip became a Churro trip:)




Minnie and Friends Character Breakfast
Staley, Vance and Ari had a great time with the characters






Huntington Beach Day
We froze at the Beach this year, but that didn't stop the kids from swimming and jumping the waves. We ate at a fun and super yummy restaurant on the pier. We will eat there every year now. Yummy peanut butter shakes!














We rode Star Tours 14 times...just sayin


Staley taking us on a wild ride on Autopia!



This year, Staley's obsession is Star Wars, so he was so excited to do Jedi Training at Disneyland. We waited for an hour and he jumped up and down to be picked. The Jedi Master who was doing the picking saw him and laughed and invited him up. Then he got shy. He just played with his sleeve instead of full on training. I think he got shy being in front of everyone on the stage. He got to fight Darth Vader, which he thought was so cool and had a great time, which is all that counts. They gave him a certificate at the end.
