What a difference a year makes...



The years go by so fast, especially the school years. Hailey started Kindergarten this year and finished with flying colors. She is readin at a 3rd grade level, coloring like picasso, and counting her change. 




I love listening to her read, and teach her dolls in her "classroom" I will never forget all the days she came home proclaiming "I can't learn anything else today, my brain is FULL!"







I asked her today "Now that you've graduated what are you going to do?" she said "Buy some pink sparkly TOMS"


Love my little girl. Watch out First grade!

Disney Day One-2013

The Military's best perk are the Disney Park Hoppers. Such a fantastic discount! We take advantage as often as we can because maybe one day they will not offer it anymore. That would make us Sad.
We got to the park at 7:45 like true adventurers! Little did we know that the park doesn't open until 9:00am during off season! So we waited, and were a little bummed that we didn't know this. We usually go in summer show up at 8am and stay til midnight, hardcore! Now we know.
 We started our day in Cars land, we wanted to get fast passes to Radiator Springs Racers! Best ride at the park, its so much fun. Fast Passes run out within an hour of opening so you have to be first and you have to be quick.
These are GOLDEN!! Disney also has the parent pass, so if you have a little kid who is to short to ride, you get a pass to go to the front of the line when the other parent comes off. Brilliant!

 Mater driving through Radiator Springs!

The one huge plus about Disney in the Spring was the weather and the foliage. It was so beautiful! It smelled amazing too.



 I surprised Hailey with a trip to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, she has always wanted to do it and I thought she was old enough to appreciate the expensive trip to the salon. She had so much fun!





Meet Princess Hailey!


 1:00 back to Racers! So much fun.
 Radiator springs is done so well, they didn't skip a single detail when building it. Its my favorite place in California Adventure.
 The Cozy Cone hotel! They have the yummiest Pretzel Bites and such good slushees!




 Our friends came to hang out with us for the day. It was so nice to see them and the kids were so excited!


 Epic group shot.
 A beautiful first day At Disney!

After our friends left, we went and explored Adventure Land and Frontier Land and Toon Town.


 Sadly in Spring, Disney closed at EIGHT! What!?  Again we were shocked haha. In spring there are no lines, beautiful weather, beautiful plants, but I was really bummed about the times. We like to party all night!


 We had ice cream as the park closed and then ran over to California Adventure (who closes at 9)  to see World of Color!


 World of Color is done completely on water, projecting movies onto the water, it is so beautiful!

 Here is a scene from UP.

 and Buzz and Woody

Such a fun first day!!!
