K's Kafe: June 2011

I want to wish my Dad a Happy Father's Day! There's one thing I know for sure, he is one of a kind :) What you see is what you get with him, he doesn't mess around. He has so many great qualities. I'm very thankful for our relationship and I treasure everything I've learned from him and continue to learn.

I love you Dad!

Donald Duck

This kid loves Donald Duck. He found this Donald in California Adventure and was so excited to take him home to AZ. I took a video of him in the hotel room just chatting away with Donald. It was so cute...we couldn't stop laughing because if you know Hes, he's not a chatty kid :)

Heston is 4 (almost 5) and he could ride almost every ride. It was so much fun for all of us to see his excitement over everything there. What a great age for Disneyland! His favorite rides were:

-the "spooky, fun ride that went up and down" (Hollywood Tower Hotel)

-the "ride that took us to space" (Space Mountain)

-and of course Star Tours. (they just opened it back up after re-doing it. We had an early entry pass so we were able to ride it.)

I {heart} MJ & Jessie

So I'm still working on my pages from our Disneyland adventures. I'm almost done. I feel like I have to strike while the iron is hot or it will never get done.

I love everything about Disneyland. (except for the huge crowds) One of the things I was looking forward to seeing this time was the return of Captain EO. I'm so cheesy, I admit it. Loved it!

Another one of my favorites at Disney are the characters. I don't know...after my days of being the Crayola Bunny, I empathize with the people that wear these suits and work hard to make the kids happy.

Outside. In the heat. Without saying a word.

Jessie was my fave character this time. She was so adorable!!

I wanted to wrap my arms around Jessie and tell her (or him, you never know)

'You are awesome! I'll cover for you while you sneak into that building so you can take your head off and get some water.'

San Diego: Part 1 of our CA adventure

We started our California trip in San Diego. Aaron and his brother J ran in the half marathon so we spent a day and a half at Pacific Beach. The weather was beautiful! The kids couldn't wait to get in the water and boogie board. My mom joined us on our trip, we were happy to have her :)

On our way up to Anaheim, we stopped in and saw Matt, Alisha and the kids. They cooked us an awesome dinner complete with a fire and S'mores. The kids love hanging out with their cousins...they didn't want to leave ;) Thanks for having us guys, we'll see you soon!

Summer!!

It's hot here in the summer, no doubt about that. However, we look forward to this time of the year so we can finally SWIM!!

I can't believe it's June already...

Heston age 4

I wanted to create a page about Heston at age 4. I remembered doing this layout a couple of years ago. Instead of coming up with something different, I just decided I would use the same template and switch it up just a little bit...

Nothing too crazy but it came together pretty quickly! I like quickly :) I am so in love with the chevron paper!
