More Disney

Day Two:
We woke up early and went to California Adventure and went on the new Ariel ride two times in a row! Sawyer loved the bubbles. I thought they did a great job on making it not so scary (dude, have you been on the snow white ride lately... Scary).


Disney has something for everyone... I walked by these orange roses and couldn't resist a picture with them. If you know me at all you know that I love orange and I love flowers...



We went on King Tritan's carousel and sawyer loved it so much thatwe did it three times in a row.


After the third time the boy threw a fit when the ride was slowing down and smacked his head into the pole that holds the horse. I figured that was a good time to stop and go back to the hotel for a nap.


Love these moments, I don't come by them very often!

Next up a treat from jamba juice... I should have ordered a larger one because my Sawyer couldn't get enough of that tasty goodness!



He wore his watch all day long... We kept asking him "what time is it" and he would open his watch and point to it.









I experienced captain EO for my very first time. Oh MJ, how I love your music.



Sawyer even liked it... He didn't keep the glasses on, but we gave him a water bottle and that boy was entertained the whole time. He loves taking the lid on and off.

Dixon and I snuck away to ride the toy story mania ride. Worth the hour wait. Bless my mister's heart, he even let me get a picture of us with our glasses on!


We called it a night after that. Little guy was done. He slept like a rock the whole trip!

Day 3
We took it easy, did a little California Adventure, a whole lot of pool time! A Dole whip at the tiki room, dinner at Naples, and fireworks to top it off.





















We had so much fun on this last family vacation before uncle chase leaves on his mission to London! Thank you sweet Leavitt family!!

This is technically Sawyer's second trip to Disneyland, but it's his first with the Leavitts and it's the first time he can enjoy the rides! I can't even begin to explain the excitement in my heart to watch my baby boy experience this place. And my baby boy proved to be not so baby and a lot of bit toddler.

We started the day off early, we went in an hour before the park actually opened and enjoyed fantasy land and short lines! Sawyer was a little timid during the rides, but would clap after the ride every time.






That lot of bit toddler I was talking about, he wanted to stand in the line- forget about being held!






Did I mention it was a little rainy. I was ok with that. Shorter lines is worth the sacrifice of good hair. He LoVeD the carousel, notice him holding on tight, he knew right what to do! Giddy up!



My matching boys. Black and red are our family's colors if you haven't noticed. Go rebs.



He did good for most of the day, a quick stroller nap helped solve the grumpies!



We ventured to Toon Town today, and my boy was best friends with that mouse we lovingly call Mickey. We walked right up to him and Sawyer got so excited and started jabbering away and wanted to touch his nose. He wouldn't let go of his nose... He even gave it a kiss.






And to top off our lovely day, I was standing in line at the choo choo train and look up to see our good friends lindsay and brad and faye! It's a small world after all. (pun intended).






Sawyer and Faye shared a slobbery kiss. Melt.
We ended our day with a Mickey mouse watch and the parade. I've mentioned before that sawyer loves watches, so we decided that would be his souvenier. That boy was so dog gone excited, worth every penny.






Watching the parade. One thing I have just soaked in this trip is watching Dixon with Sawyer. Those two are best buds, they speak the same language, and I love watching them together.



And we had to get a picture with grandma Carolyn because they were matching.

One day down. Memories were made. I pat myself on the back for taking pictures. And journaling for the day is complete, now I need to soak my feet with some bath salts:)

One thing about my sawyer that you might not know: he's a love bug! He comes up behind me and gives me the sweetest loves






Sure makes this mama melt! And as for him he loves my phone and always wants to see himself on it... We can thank FaceTime for that!















And another thing... Forget about playin with mom's jewelry. It's all about daddy's watches!






He was so happy about having daddy's red watch on that he cheered himself on in the mirror... After checking out his reflection of course..



He thinks he's pretty cool!

Oh sweet love bug, I'm sure glad your mine!

These are a few of my favorite things

Sawyer loves the swings. I've been trying to help him find his love for swings for the past few months, but the kid was terrified. He would scream that hi-pitched scream anytime we got near one... But things have changed and this boy cannot get enough of swings!















Sawyer is happy swingin, and I'm happy enjoying my green tea(one of my new favorite things!)

He also loves to sit on the grass and put rocks in his bucket. He'll sit there for a half hour -sometimes more- just collecting rocks. Melt my heart why don't ya!












Oh my sweet boy... How I love watching you grow!

Don't you like to take your shoes off the second you get in the car?









Did I forget to mention it takes a few minutes to get said shoes on because the little moves around? Love this monkey and his bare feet!

When this is one of the first things you see in the morning, you think "oh crap, it's gonna be one of (those) days." literally.



But to my pleasant surprise, it was a wonderful day.



We played at the park where I learned not to ever wear white when you have boys...



And I hiked a mountain. No big deal.

Looks like the Easter bunny found Sawyer this year.




(featuring some of his favorites: Gerber puffs and squeezable baby food. And yes that is totally a little Jordan outfit...I couldn't resist!)
My little guy was so enthralled by the little chick that peeps when you put it in your hand.








He was a little hesitant to check out his basket, but then he saw his puffs and squeezables and all was right in his little world.
This year, Sawyer loves to pull apart and put together the little eggs. And bath time with those little eggs...oh my, talk about fun! He can't figure out why they keep floating!
We spent the day doing his favorite thing...












Going in and out all by himself. All. Day. Long. Hello spring!
And to top our Easter/Masters celebration, we celebrated with a little golf...




Happy Easter to you and yours!
