California Days 8-10

Disneyland Rounds 2, 3, and 4? (Question mark because on day 10 they just went to Downtown Disney, so I'm not sure if that counts as an actual round) After the Wild Animal Park, they headed back up to Anaheim for some more Disneyland fun! I'm not sure what the fascination with the Merry-Go-Round is all about when you're at Disneyland, but the boys love it! Here's Kallie and 5 1/2 month old Griffin

Kissy faces?




Brock's uncle Steve braved the Tea Cups with Brock, Kallie, and the boys!










Jace enjoying the view from the submarine on the "Finding Nemo" ride.




Jace gets to ride with Aunt Natalie!


Saying Hi to Mickey again.

The Handys




They're pretty obsessed with Buzz, so this was super exciting!





Talk about HEAVEN! These boys love Lightning McQueen, and Mater. Especially Beckett. Look at Jace hugging him!






Yet another Merry-Go-Round



Three for the price of ONE!


Jace loved this one. Brock said that when it swings to the other side, it practically flips them off, so he was worried that Jace wouldn't be able to hold on tight enough. Jace said that he was so strong and held on so tight!



We got this hat for Jace at Disneyland before I left. We are growing his hair out, and I just love how his hair looks with a hat on. Such a handsome boy!

All the cute boys


Standing around. I'm not sure what they're waiting for here.




I think this is "A Bug's Life" ride.


I love Nixon and Beckett's eyes barely peeking over.


More "Bug's Life"









Meeting Whinnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger












Saturday, their flight didn'te leave until 8:00pm, so they were able to spend another whole day just playing at the pool, then hanging out at Downtown Disney.


Another Disneyland trip on the books. I was so sad with the way things worked out, and that I couldn't be there for most of it. I know that I missed out on a lot of fun memories with my boys. Leila and I were able to get in some good mother-daughter bonding though! Luckily Brock's parents will plan this trip every time a grandchild turns 3, so two more years, and I will be there! I can't tell you how excited I was Saturday night when they flew back. It was 10:30pm, so I left Leila at home asleep with my angel neighbor Lyndsey, and went to get them. Jace didn't stop talking (yelling really) from the minute he got in the car, to the minute we got home. Nixon too! "Mom, guess what?..." "and then...". It was so much fun listening to them. I just love my family so much. I learned something in all of this vacationing. I will never plan a trip longer than a week without my family, and for sure not without Brock. Two weeks in Malaysia, and then another week while they were in Cali was just too much for me. I need to be with them. I had a blast, and I am so glad I was able to go see my parents in KL, but next time we're all going!

You got some fun pictures of the trip. The one with Nix and Becks hugging is priceless. I am impressed with your blogging. You are totally on top of things. It is so fun to see all of your Malaysia pictures too.
