We just got home from a much needed trip to California. It was so much fun and I am dying to go back! We had a whole week as a family and it was the best! We left on a Sunday and drove to Vegas. We wanted to break up the drive so it would be a little easier for hazy. She did pretty well but she is so over the car right now. Vegas was ok. It is actually not very kid friendly and a little scary with a baby so I was happy to get on the road to cali. I have a sister who live in Riverside so we stopped to see them on Monday. We just hung out and went to the park and played with the kids.
Hazy is such a water baby! She was dying to play with the water!
One of her favorite things to do is swing! The whole time we are swinging she says "sing, sing".
We then headed to Disneyland! We spend 4 days at the park and it was a BLAST! It was hard at times with but overall I think she enjoyed it. Her favorites were the carousel, which we went on over and over and over again. And she loved Dumbo and the tea cups just like her mommy!
Hazy and Mom on the tea cups! These are my favorite and Jeff hates them so he just took pics while the girls had some fun!
Hazy and daddy on the Carousel, finally got a smile!
She did not want to get off!
Cute Daddy!
She was so worn out as we were waiting in line for Pirates (which she liked actually!) I love this pic!
Getting back in the stroller after a ride was a constant battle! We tried to let her walk as much as we could but it was so busy and she would get trampled. Next time I will be tacky and get her a leash!
Jeff LOVES Disneyland. He couldnt stop talking it about the trip for months. Club 33 is an elite club for people who pay thousands and thousands of dollars to be apart of and you get cool stuff and have access to this room. Jeff is dying to be apart of it! The door is in the New Orleans part of disney!
This was probably the highlight of the trip! Hazy is in love with dogs which I think is weird cause we dont have one and we most likely will never have one. Anyways we ran into Pluto while we were there and she was in heaven! We didn't wait to see all the other characters, the lines were too long. I think we will do that when she is a bit older.
She leaned down and gave him kisses without us having to say anything! She is the cutest thing ever!
We found this fountain over in california adventure and she loved it! It was nice for her to get out and run around.
We stayed in the Sheraton Hotel and it was great! It was only about a 10 minute walk to disney and the room and staff were great. Occasionally we could hear our neighbors but it wasn't too bad. And we had a perfect view of the fireworks every night, if we weren't at the park. Our cute housekeepers would do this every night.
On Friday we headed to Newport Beach and it was to die for. We didn't stay too long but it was still a blast. Hazy was in heaven with the sand as you can see from the close up of her hair.
Then last but certainly not least one of my nephews got baptized on Saturday. That is the main reason why we decided to come. Ira is such a sweet kid and it was so nice to be there for his big day!

After lunch and a little shopping with the fam after the baptism we headed back to vegas. But when we got there we decided to keep on going. Our neice was getting blessed the next day and Jeff really wanted to be there. It was a long drive but the baby slept most of the way. We didnt get home until 5:00 am but it was nice to sleep in our own bed. It was such a great trip and I am so surprised at how well Hazy did. She is such a sweetie and I cant wait to take her back!
