Trip to Hogle Zoo.

Taylor and I at the gate of Hogle Zoo with he new giraffe named Hogle Zoo. So we now have a stuffed giraffe named Hogle Zoo and a stuffed horse from Sea world named Sea World. Jesse likes these names because he doesn't forget them and get in trouble from Taylor.

Taylor and Jesse at the Camels.

WOW!! We found the MERRY-Go-ROUND. I tell you what our kids love these dang things and we had to ride the Giraffes.

Taylor and the Giraffes!! The moment we walked in the door we had to see the giraffes she could have really cared less that we saw the elephants and monkeys because we needed to find the giraffes and then we sat and watched them eat a branch for a long time. She was thrilled.

Grandma Jan and he new found friend. They were communicating, Taylor wasn't sure she wanted to talk to the gorilla.

Playing in the Flowers.

My oldest and most obedient child, Cowboy!!
But these two are the CUTEST little things. I took these pictures of the kids because they are wearing their new outfits that their Uncle Colton brought them back from Hawaii and they are really cute.

Another fun picture.

Picture of my flowers, one evening after I had just watered and washed off the front porch.

One more flower picture.

Taylor and HER Horses!

The Classic little girl and her horse picture.

Giving Chief loves, doesn't he look thrilled?!

Riding Rocky on a cool breezy day, he was a little snorty, but he does really good with Taylor. Jesse just had a keep ahold of the lead rope the whole time.

Little Cade on Chief, he thinks everything is quite entertaining.

My Cute Kids!!

Camping Trip to City of Rocks

Aren't they all so cute with their helmets on?! It makes me feel good that we are trying to be safe and the kids liked wearing them. Cade's head is already very large and then to add the helmet makes him almost fall over.

Taylor trying to save her candy bar from the hungry hound!

The classic camping picture!! I took this when Cade was at his dirtiest! He had just finished eating a twix and he had been rolling in the dirt all day. He also had taken a few header off into the rocks. Isn't he just so adorable?

We went on a little hike at the Castle Rocks, these are pretty amazing to look at.

Taylor and Mom on the racin' four-wheeler.

Lots of Disneyland Pictures

When we walked in the door at Disneyland the first day, Mickey Mouse was there to greet all of us. We were pretty excited.
Family Picture with Goofy. Fits in great!

Cute kids, they just fit in with the scene.

DIsneyland had a really awesome parade at night and all of the charactors danced and rode around it was really fun and our kids loved it. ( I loved it as much or more, but I can blame it on the kids for all the stuff I made them do.)

Taylor's FAVORITE ride. She loved It's a Small World!! I liked it too the first two times. It was a nice ride because we got to sit down for awhile and ride around.

Lots of Disneyland Pictures

More Merry-go-rounds. This one was in California Adventure's.
Winnie the Pooh ride, don't they just fit into the scenary?!?!

Before we went to the Disneyland and we were telling Taylor about it and how fun it was going to be. This picture is of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse like the TV show and Taylor thought that she was going to Mickey's house, we were so lucky that they had this show for Taylor to go see because she LOVED it and said all of the things that they say on the show. FUN! FUN!

MY FIRST TIME MEETING MICKEY MOUSE. I was more excited then my kids.

Taylor and Sleeping "Booty" this is her favorite princess and she was gaga when she got to meet her. She also got her picture taken with Cinderella and Snow White but Sleeping Beauty is the best!

Lots of Disneyland Pictures

Taylor's FAVORITE ride, we rode the Merry-go-round so many times I think we rode every single horse on the ride, but Taylor LOVED it and Cade TOLERATED it!!
Cheese for the camera.

Taylor, Tayson and McKinley on the small world ride AGAIN. It was so cute to see them all sitting up there peering out of the boat.

Taylor and her favorite cousin on the train. Taylor was being so big!

Snacking on the go, we didn't take much time for meals and we were not going to by them in disneyland because I didn't want a $4 water!

Fun at the Beach

Our little "Jimmie Buffet ", he even had red sandals to complete the attire.

At least he didn't get too sunburned.
Mom with kids and the really big WATER!

I finally convinced Taylor that the ocean was alright to play in.

Taylor really loved to be buried in the sand!

Cade thought the sand was the best part about the ocean also.

The first day in California we went to Huntington Beach and everyone got to play in the water and sand, it was a little windy so the sand was more fun to play in then the cold water.

Playing in San Diego

How often to we get to swing in the Harbor?!?!
My "Stink-a-podimus"

Taylor was good at the swimming as long is she would float!

Cool old Historic San Diego

Our kids were not to thrilled about having their picture taken they were

to busy trying to run off the edge of the dock, but at least it is a realistic picture of how we are! Ha Ha!

One of the days we were in California we just sent it hanging out in the town and playing in the pool and at the harbor.

Sea World

Taylor's favorite part about Sea World was the Big Horses. Of Course!!

She got a stuffed animal horse and named it Sea World!

Waiting for the Shamu Show to begin.

Awesome Dolphins, they are crazy jumpers!

Finally Posting Some Pictures!! What an experience. Taylor loved all of the animals and Cade just grunts and points. I really enjoyed our vacation and we will definately have to do this again in a couple years when the kids are older.
