Halloween 2013

Ariel - complete with wig - and Superman
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

CRAZY Ariel. She was so hyper/ tired from a full day at school, candy and treats at school... so she was definitely bouncing off the walls.
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

Super Hayden was tired too. But he came trick-or-treating for the first time.

We were at Hallmark and she found a princess birthday train. My grandma always got me a porcelain birthday bear set when I was little, so she wanted to continue the tradition with Ryleigh. She was very excited when Ryleigh said she wanted this set. So for her birthday my Grandma Beam got her a few of the train cars to catch her up. 

Here's Aurora.

An update on Hayden. At Ryleigh's birthday, he'd started to stand when placed up against furniture and try to cruise around.

Ryleigh's 5th Birthday

Ryleigh turned 5 in October. It was a school day, so she got to open a present in the morning. Can't believe how old she's looking. No longer a pre-schooler anymore, she's turning into a big girl.

Hayden was intently watching, waiting for Ryleigh to toss some paper for him to grab and play with.
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

Can't believe how far she's come in 5 years.
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

It was a busy day because it was also the Safe Trick-or-Treat at Midwestern University. Ryleigh has gone to the Safe Trick-or-Treat every year so she still wanted to go, even though it was her birthday.

Hayden dressed up as Sully from Monsters, Inc.

Tried to get a cute picture of these two in the grass, but Hayden wasn't too sure about this whole sitting on the grass thing. But look at that cute tail on his costume!
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

After going to all the offices, Ryleigh had fun on the blow up slides and bounce houses.
From 2013 Aug Sept Oct

She requested Sweet Tomatoes for her birthday dinner. That's my veggie lover :) Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Disneyland - Fall 2013

Finally getting around to updating this blog. Didn't realize it was over 6 months ago! YIKES!

Well in October, Ryleigh had Fall Break. We went to Disneyland for several days. It was Hayden's first time to Disneyland and he seemed to enjoy it.

Taking it all in.

Breakfast at Ariel's Grotto - Our favorite character dining. One stop shop for all the princesses!

We ate outside for the first time. It was so peaceful eating out on the water. Hayden had just started solid foods so he was like a little birdie begging for food :)

This is what happens when you ask your 4 year old if she'd rather ride on the stationary or the swinging gondola and she flippantly answers "swinging!" We've ridden the Mickey Fun Wheel before, but always on the stationary gondolas. She knew they swung. She knew saw people in front of us get on them. And then we got inside and the first words out of her mouth "Where are the seat belts?!" These were taken on the first swing. Hayden was a little unsure...

But Ryleigh's expression - was PRICELESS!!! I'm surprised she didn't draw blood from clinging to my arm so tight.
