Birthday and Disneyland!

Well, I have been horrible about keeping this blog updated. So, this will be a long update because a lot has happened since my last post!

Burton turn 3 on February 8th! He was SO excited to have cake and open presents. We just had people over to our house for a small party and he kept asking me all day when people were coming. His cake turned out absolutely adorable (thanks Aunt DeeAnn), but then on the way home he totally fell apart. I felt absolutely horrible and called my Aunt and she was so sweet to come over to my house and fix his cake and he looked good as new! Burton got a whole bunch of toys that he did not need and a cool Cars chair. It wasn't quite as exciting as Christmas, but he sure had fun and loved it. It was so fun to see him so excited.

We just got back from Disneyland a few days ago and we had so much fun there too! We drove to California, so we broke it up into two days, spent 3 days in Disneyland and drove back in 2 days. Disneyland was exhausting, but so much fun. We had a few meltdowns (Mom included) but overall we had a good time. I still think kids need to be a little older to go, but Burton loved the kid rides and Pirates of the Caribbean. He wasn't tall for a lot of the adult rides, but he was so excited to go on the Matterhorn and I thought for sure he would freak out and not go, but to my surprise it was the very first ride we went on and he did great. He didn't cry, but when it was over he didn't want to do it again. McKenzie did so good in Disneyland, she went on a lot of rides with me and was such a good baby the whole time. Burton was just exhausted and right on the brink of getting sick so by the second day he was whining and crying a lot and wanting to be held ALL the time. Brandon had to leave the 2nd day and by the morning of the 3rd day after we walked from the hotel to Disneyland and both kids were crying and I had no husband to help me, I had a small breakdown, but thanks to my family we got through it, LOL! I LOVE Disneyland and would love to go back with just Brandon and me so we can just hit all the big rides as many times as we want! Three days wasn't long enough to do everything.


Here are a few pics of my darling kids. I love the one of McKenzie asleep in her highchair.









Well, that's about it I guess. I will try to be better about updating this thing!
