Happy Birthday Daddy!


The kid's loaded Daddy up with Ohio State gear for his birthday this year!  Any gift from the kids is the greatest gift on Earth..


Spring Break in Newport Beach!




For spring break we took the kids over to Newport Beach where Mommy's friend, Rachel, was kind enough to host our family at their beach house for a week.  We had an absolute blast playing on the beach, skateboarding and going out for long dinners...  Those weeks away with the kids always slip by far too quickly, but we relish every moment and every memory!


Spring Break Disney Visit!


In an effort to keep up with our seemingly quarterly Disney trips, we went for another visit during our spring break in Newport!  Having several families together made it an absolute blast for the kids who reveled in the craziness of the day.  Our hosts made it an exceptionally special and amazing visit by providing the kids with back of the house access to hidden Mickey attractions and a 'no wait' experience on the rides.  A truly memorable day!!  We were very lucky and hugely appreciative.




Bippety Boppety Ridiculous!


Disney has developed their latest scam (sense the sarcasm?), which is called the Bippety Boppety Boutique.  In essence, you pay them a ridiculous sum to turn your daughter into a princess...  Needless to say, Mommy & Aubrey ate it up, and spent several hours at the boutique.  Daddy, Mia & Brandon rode roller coasters while the girls did their thing!  All were happy.



The Man with the Stache!

While having a nice lunch in California Adventure, Brandon decided he had a great idea for a mustache!  The full length walrus stache is very fitting for a man of his stature...  The boy is always entertaining!


Girlie Girlz


The Twins are always doing everything together, whether they choose to or not...  Every now and again it's nice to give them a chance at some individuality.  So Momma decided that even though they had a big joint birthday party, Aubrey deserved a little girlie celebration.  So her and a dozen or so girl friends went to a place called Girlie Girlz where they could wallow in all of their feminine glory!  Needless to say, Aubs was in heaven...  Little cutie!
