Swimming Lessons

Gibson loves swim lessons!!! He did awesome and was so good for his teachers! I am glad my kids love the water, though it is a challenge keeping them out of it where ever we go.

Gibson going under water :)

Going down the slide






Jumping off the diving board that was his favorite part!




And of course Hallee screamed the whole 2 weeks because she wanted to get in with the kids. So on the last day (and no I didn't have her swim suit) sweet Aunt Terri let he get in and she was in Heaven!!!


Hallee going down the slide with G-ma Jacci


Gibson going down the slide! Terri was catching him at the bottom, so she backed up because most kids come flying down and sit on your face. But Gibson held on tight to the side and just dropped right in the water. Terri went under to get him she said it was so funny he had is eyes wide open, legs a kicking and arms straight going up and down, like we was going to fly like a bird. But it didn't scare him at all he jumped out and wanted to go again!!!

Disneyland & The Beach

My parents took the whole family to Disneyland!!! We went down over Memorial weekend and had a blast! It was wonderful we couldn't have asked for better weather and lines everything was great! So yes I am a little behind but I have been waiting for a current someone to get me some more pictures hint ;) hint ;). But I figured I had enough to blog with and I will warn you now there are quite a few pictures.

A little pit stop in Vegas. Gibson is in love with Dinosaurs and he wanted his picture with it. So I had all the kids jump in.




Our 1st day was traveling, getting settled in the hotel and then an evening at Newport Beach. It was fun but super windy, so sand was going everywhere. Gibson didn't like the water a lot it was really salty and he said it was burning his skin, which my legs were burning a little. Hallee was just the opposite she couldn't get enough of it, a big wave would cover her whole body getting in her eyes and mouth and she would still keep going back. Gibson wanted to build Timmy the turtle so we did he was so excited!
Gotta love the Dumbo ride!
Buzz Lighter Year ride this was one of Gibson's favorites. He thought the guns were so cool!
They emailed this pic to me and yes I look so serious but I am all about winning. (jk) But for some reason Anthony and Gibson's didn't work?
Gibson's and I on the Jungle ride.
I had to take a picture of this ice cream shop I thought the name was fun.


And of course we had to go on the carousel.
Gibson loves the movie "Sword and the Stone". He tried for quite a while to get it out.
Trapped in a cage. Ha ha she was always wanting to be on the other side of the fence.
Anthony, Gibson and Hallee on the Tea Cups. They loved them!


Been playing a little to hard and couldn't fight it any longer!
A little splash pad in Bugs Life Land. It was so nice the kids could run around and get cool in the water.
Tuck and Roll bumper cars!
After the 3D Bugs Life movie. I had to get a picture of us with our bug eyes!!!
Goofy the one character we got a pic with. There was a parade going on so no lines it was great!
aIt's a small world ride.
Chip and Dales Tree house in Toon Town. I don't have a pic but I have to tell the story so I will always remember it. We went the Go Go Gadget Coaster which you only have to be 35" tall so we thought it would be fine. Gibson loved it the whole time he had his hands in the air just a smiling, but Kaden on the other hand was terrified. He scream the whole time and I'm sure almost peed his pants. :)
Gibson loves Car so of course he had to get a picture with Mater and McQueen!
Waiting in line for the 3D Toy Story ride. It was the longest wait and the kids did awesome!
Another family picture in California Adventure!
I wanted to get a picture in front of the castle with my prince charming!!!

Sunday we went to church, relaxed, saw the Newport Beach Temple and played at the park. We had a picnic, feed the ducks, watched the turtles and played on the playground.


The last day we went to Corona Del Mar Beach and it was a Blast. The water was warm, we saw dolphins and played in the tide pools. Uncle B found a star fish and Gibson wanted to hold it. Uncle Randon also found some crabs, one was really big it got out of the bucket and Gibson and Kaden were screaming like someone was trying to kill them. It was hilarious!!! It was a wonderful time, I love being able to spend time with my family making these wonderful memories! Thanks a million Mom and Dad for such a great vacation, our family can't wait to go back. :)
