California Adventure Part 3 - Disneyland!!!

During our trip to CA my parents decided they wanted to take Chase to Disneyland for the 1st time!!! My parents hadn't been there for about 20 years so this was going to be an adventure for everyone!!

We had such a fun day at Disneyland and we had gorgeous hot weather so it was great to be outside. Chase was pretty mesmerized the whole day - thus the serious look in every picture - there was so much for him to look at and take in! Here are some of the highlights from our day....

Ready to head in for the day!





Loving the carousol ride!


In line for It's a Small World - ended up being his favorite!! We went on twice and he would look around and get excited and point at things for you to look at with him :)







Passed out at lunchtime!


Group Shot!


Loving some frozen lemonade!!



Fun in Toon Town...







Ending the day by watching the "Celebrate" Parade!! Chase loved when the confetti flew all over at the end :)

California Adventure Part 2 - Chandra's Baby Shower!

This trip home was extra special because it meant I got to go to one of my dearest friend's baby showers!!! Chandra flew in from Boston so she could have her CA shower with her family and our group that grew up together! Chandra is the cutest preggo lady and just looked radiant and happy. It was a gorgeous day and Chandra's sister, Christa and her Mom, planned a beautiful shower! I got to bring Chase so the girls could see how big he has gotten and I got a chance to see a few babies of my own! I was so happy to be a part of this day and to catch up with my girls!

All of Chandra's goodies - we had to think "small" since she had to haul it all back to Boston :)

Jess, Tiff, Kari and baby Reese enjoying lunch and some sunshine!

So excited for you Chandra & Dan! Can't wait to meet Baby Lombard!

California Adventure Part 1

This past week I got to extend a work trip to CA into a visit to see my family and friends!! Since Chase still flies for free for a few more months I took him with me and we had a great time together! The flight out was tough to say the least (Chase does not like to sit still and it was a packed flight) but we made it :)

We had a great weekend with Christine, Jim, Ben and my parents (we really missed having Craig though!) The weather was gorgeous and it was so fun to see Chase & Ben interact together. I couldn't believe Ben was walking - although he has been for awhile this was the first time I got to see it! He is so big! The boys played really well together and Chase loved running around saying "Ben!" Here are some highlights from the weekend...

Ben playing with the blocks...


Chase trying to share a magnet with Ben - listen to him say his name! It ended with a bit of a collision but still cute :)


Chase & Ben racing around the house


Ben got his 1st haircut!




Look at that new haircut!!
