The Happiest Place on Earth!

Katie and I took advantage of our three day weekend and went on a little road trip to L.A. We spent New Years Eve in Disneyland and boy...it was crowded! 

Katie und ich haben unser Drei-Tage-Wochenende ausgenutzt und sind machten einen kleinen Roadtrip nach L.A.
Wir haben Silvester im Disneyland verbracht und man...war es voll dort!

It was the last day they had all of their Christmas decorations up and I loved having another day of Christmas Cheer!:)

Es war der letzte Tag, wo sie noch alle Weihnachtsdekorationen hatten und ich liebte es, einen weiteren Tag Weihnachtsstimmung zu haben!:)



Toon Town is one of my favorite place in Disneyland and we saw a lot of the characters there, but didn't want to wait in line for over an hour just to snap a picture with them.

Mickey's Stadt ist einer meiner Lieblingsplaetze im Disneyland und wir sahen dort Mickey, Minnie und Goofy, aber wollten nicht fuer eine Stunde in einer Schlange anstehen, nur um ein Foto mit ihnen zu machen. 


The rides were so crowded that you had to wait for at least an hour to enjoy the three minute ride, we did a few, but I mostly enjoyed walking around the park and watching the parade (no pictures of the parade this time...).

Die Fahrgeschaefte waren so ueberfuellt, dass man fuer mindestens eine Stunde anstehen musste um eine dreiminuetige Fahrt zu machen, wir haben ein paar gemacht, aber ich habe es zum groessten Teil genossen im Park herumzulaufen und die Parade anzuschauen (keine Fotos von der Parade diesmal...).





At night they did a beautiful light show, lit up the castle and all the holiday decorations and they even managed to make it snow! It was gorgeous!

Als es dunkel wurde, haben sie eine wunderschoene Lichtershow gemacht, das Schloss und alle Weihnachtsdekorationen waren beleuchtet und sie haben es sogar schneien lassen! Es war unglaublich!


We also went to California Adventure across the street and Katie claims the favorite part of her trip was when we went to the 3D Show: "It's tough to be a bug".

Wir sind ausserdem zum California Adventure Park gegenueber gegangen und Katie behauptet, der beste Teil des Wochenendes war, als sie die 3D Show "It's tough to be a bug" gesehen hat. 

My favorite part of the trip on the other hand was the next day, when we went to Redondo and Venice Beach! Did ya know I love the beach? You probably heard me say this a million times, but I just have to say it again: I looooove love love the beach! Sit me on a beach with the smell of the ocean, the sound of crashing waves and I couldn't be happier.

Der beste Teil meines Wochenendes war hingegen der naechste Tag, als wir zum Redondo und Venice Strand gefahren sind. Wusstet ihr, dass ich den Strand liebe? Ihr habt es bestimmt schon eine Million Mal von mir gehoert, aber ich muss es einfach nochmal sagen: Ich liiiiiiebe liebe liebe den Strand! Setz mich an den Strand mit dem Geruch des Meeres und dem Sound von den Wellen und ich koennte nicht gluecklicher sein. 



Remember the TV Show "The O.C."? I used to love it and watched it every week with my California Girls. The Pier where some of the Show takes place (it was actually supposed to be a pier in Newport Beach, but this is where those scenes were filmed)  happened to be the Redondo Beach Pier. 

Erinnert ihr euch an die Fernsehserie "O.C. California"? Ich habe diese Show mal geliebt und  jede Woche mit meinen California Maedels angeschaut. Der Pier (nennt man das im deutschen so???) wo manche Szenen der Show stattfinden (in der Serie soll der Pier in Newport Beach sein, aber hier ist, wo die Szenen gefilmt wurden) war am Redondo Beach Pier. 

This is a scene from the Show

Hier ist eine Szene von der Show

And here's me :)

Und hier bin ich :)

It was such a fun trip! Re-energized for some busy weeks ahead!

Es war ein toller Kurztrip und nun bin ich bereit und gut erholt fuer ein paar stressige Wochen auf der Arbeit!

Happy New Year!

Frohes neues Jahr!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
