Some of Disneyland And Michael's Birthday

DISCLAIMER: soooo... I had this completely finished when my computer froze and I lost half of the work I had done. That is the reason this post was delayed even more! Also if the last half of the post is a bit garbled or the pics are out of order, I didn't have the energy to put as much effort into it the second time around. Hope you can deal with it! It is over 80 degrees in my apartment and I want to pass out. Gotta love how even creepy serial killers get A/C and we don't.


So, I haven't posted in forever. Sorry about that. Things got crazy and I just quit keeping up with the blog. Here are some of our pictures from our March vacation. Michael's Birthday, Disneyland, etc. I will post more as I gather all the pics from various sources, but here is a pretty good start. I am not very good at getting the pics on here in the right order so I am sorry for the confusion. I have also decided to post pics even if they are extraordinarily unflattering to me. At least you guys will be able to see just how cute Michael is! Lol! Ignore me :D Also, on the photo's with date stamps... my lil boy got my camera and played with it. So now all of my pics have a date stamp that is the wrong date as well! Still trying to fix that one, so no I am not passing off photos from an earlier trip, these are from March 14-19, 2011.

Michael and Daddy attempting to pull the sword from the stone! No luck so far.

He is just such a cutie! Chillin' in front of the castle!

We met Mickey Mouse! Mickey was dressed up for a certain film scene! Any guesses?

He was so excited he barely knew what to do. He was... star struck! He really loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and all things Mickey.

Holding Mickey's hand... hey who is that on his shirt?!

Again with the trying to pull out that sword and again no luck!


Here we are in California Adventure! The whole family. Andrew, Michael, Grammie, Grandpa, Auntie Lori, Cousin Heather, Auntie Clara, and me.

Here is us again. Look at what is above us! Holy Cannoli! Of course, Michael had to be contrary and point down. Silly boy!

Here we are meeting Pluto! Michael was so excited! He loves Pluto :)


Another picture of Michael and Pluto. I think Michael was stunned to silence!


Entranced by Pluto's whiskers! Good thing that Pluto doesn't bite.


Awwww. Holding Pluto's hand! So cute :)

Here is our best family photo in a while. Andrew, Michael, and I in front of the castle. I love this picture! It was specifically on Michael's birthday.

I can't decide if he is just super excited. Or if his tummy is full from all of the snacks we ate!

A cool picture of the carousel. We aren't the greatest photographers but sometimes are mistakes actually look okay! haha. I just liked these ones because they were fun.

Grammie Carol, Michael, and me riding on the carousel. I think we went on it about a half a million times. Okay, more like 5 that evening. We even got to go around twice in a row because there wasn't much of a line. This was definitely one of Michael's favorite rides. He also loved Peter Pan, and Dumbo.

Guess what this one is... yep again!

This is us on the Casey Junior Train. Michael loved it. He got to pick the car we were to ride in because it was his Birthday. So he chose the wild animal car. He decided he was a wild TIGER!!! He was going "rawwwwrrrrrrr" for most of the ride.

Craziest Tiger I have ever seen with those mouse ears on ;)

Yes this is another favorite ride of his. Small World. He loves the song and the ride! We are often required to sing this song to him before bed. He loves it :)

See the grin!

Entranced by Small World!

Aladdin and Jasmine! We also saw the live show of Aladdin. Michael loved it! The elephants and camels were awesome. One camel came right up to Michael. He was a little scared by the loud noises, but he did great. He also got worried when Aladdin was stuck in the cave with the magic carpet, he looked at me and said, "Mommy, we need to HELP them!" It was super cute!

We went on the storybook Canal boats. He loved those as well, but didn't really understand all the nuances.

Here he is again, with his arms up in the air... victory? Yippee? I am not sure why!

Did I mention that we went on the carousel about half a million times? Okay... more like 5... but still! He loves the horsies.

Michael and Andrew riding together.

So dang cute! My guys waiting excitedly for the Buzz Light Year Astro Blasters ride.

Wow look at that map!

No really, that is Buzz Lightyear! He is telling everyone about the mission :D Save the universe from the battery stealing Evil Zurg.

Michael and Andrew got their pics taken with their scores... Michael didn't do too bad for a short kid on his first time!

Grammie n Grandpa, Michael n Me, on Dumbo. Michael sure loves flying elephants.

mmmm breakfast. Who can resist little Mickey Mouse waffles? I know I can't!

Trying to decide if he should bite of the other ear... or go straight for the face :D

Another of us with Pluto

Michael and me. he didn't seem to want to look at the camera.

So cute and excited for the day at Disneyland. Definitely ready to meet Mickey Mouse!

Still a little sleepy eyed though

Grrrrr! Don't touch my Elmo!!!! (Cousin Heather gave him Elmo for his Birthday. Then later that day he got to meet Elmo at SeaWorld! He was ecstatic. He asked, "Where's Dorothy?" And Elmo made a hand gesture showing that she was off swimming. So cute!

He sure does like to make funny faces at me!



Well I hope that everyone likes the post. I am going to post more when I get more pics. We had an awesome trip, thank you to everyone who made it fabulous! Love you all!
Barbara, Andrew, and Michael
