Disneyland

A few weeks ago the three (four) of us had a fun weekend at Disneyland. As I mentioned before, we were supposed to go for New Year's with the rest of the family, but we were all so sick, that we canceled the trip. We were bummed that the rest of the family couldn't join us, but it was a perfect weekend. 
I thought that I couldn't ride many rides, being pregnant and all, but I could ride almost every single thing that Fox wanted to do, which was so awesome! Not these bumper cars though!

He has been so sweet and cuddly lately, we both love it and enjoy it while it lasts!

Fox is usually not able to eat much that doesn't come from our house, because it's hard to tell ingredients on ready to go food items and with his allergies, we usually never risk it. This cotton candy was safe for him though and it was his first ever cotton candy. Can you tell that he was excited? He took one bite and told us he didn't like it...go figure! Ha!

Best $20 I ever spent, this bubble blower was a hit all weekend long. 

It was a really relaxing weekend overall, we didn't stress about having to ride every single ride, we slept in every day and took our time getting to the park and just followed Fox's lead. The weather was so perfect too!

I was really surprised that Fox was scared or nervous of a lot of rides. He hated "Soarin'" and literally jumped in his seat a few times, he didn't want to do the Haunted Mansion (he loved it when he was 2 years old) this time and even the Ariel ride made him super nervous. He did do the Cars ride for the very first time with Katie though (which is my favorite!) and loved it. 


We had planned to stay until after the Disney Show (World of Color) which was at 9pm, but we could tell that Fox started to get tired around 7pm, so we headed back to our hotel to get a good night's sleep.

Another day, another special Disney treat. This was their famous dole whip, which is basically pineapple sorbet, and lucky for us, also egg and dairy free. Fox was stoked!
He loved it so much, that we got it both days and he even ate my leftovers. When in Rome...right?

In honor of Grandma, we rode "Small World" which is her all time favorite ride. Fox will tell you that it was boring, but we both think he secretly enjoyed it. He kept pointing at the characters and was totally engaged.

Another ride I wasn't able to do. I wasn't too sad, because Katie said that Fox was a crazy driver.


I've never noticed this old time fire station before and Fox had fun checking it out.

He was so proud of his hat!
For this trip, we stayed in a hotel offsite. While they had a shuttle, it took us probably an hour to home each night, so we definitely like staying at the Disneyland hotels better, where we can just walk to every night. 

I did much better at Disneyland than anticipated. 
I was super tired each night, but luckily, Fox was too, so I got to go to bed at a decent hour every night!
My nausea wasn't too bad until the very last day when we left and while some of the rides made me a little sick, I wanted to participate for Fox and have a fun weekend with him...who knows if this was our last trip as a family of three!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
