Disney Downtown!

Sister's here and we're going to Disneyland! We weren't sure if my sister was going to be able to make another trip back out here, but she had a small break in between spring and summer classes, so we were able to squeeze in a few days. She got in today around 1 o'clock and we headed straight to Anaheim, it's only about an hour and a half drive from us. We arrived at our hotel, changed our clothes and left to walk the streets of Disney. Darrin made reservations at The Rain Forest Cafe for dinner and we had a few hours to kill before dinner time. We ended up walking Disney Downtown and it was so fun!









There were tons of little cute shops, restaurants and entertainment in the streets.













I love all these pictures of her, she is such a performer. (and she was extra attached to her baby today)

Mother's Day

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day this year. My very good friend Shannon, whom I have been close with since high school, came to visit for the weekend and we had such a good time. We spent the first few days just shopping around and enjoying being outside, the weather was beautiful. We had dinner out just the two of us a couple nights and caught up on everything in each other's lives, thanks to Darrin who stayed home with Reagan. Then today we woke up and headed for La Jolla for breakfast. The weather wasn't so great, we didn't get any rain it was just a little chilly and windy. However, our breakfast was delicious!














After we ate we went down to La Jolla beach and hung around there for a little while. Reagan was in a good mood and was interested in getting her feet dirty in the sand. (you never know with her, some days she doesn't mind the sand, others she hates it)





I love this one.


































I hope all the Mother's had a wonderful day today. I am so lucky to have such wonderful women in my life and even more lucky to be Reagan's mom. Thank you Reagan for allowing me to take part in such a special day. I love you with all my heart.
