We went on a long, lovely vacation a couple weeks ago with Oby's side of the family. We truly had such a wonderful time! We stayed in a nice rental home in Anaheim and just enjoyed being with the fam several days, then hitting Disneyland for 4 days. We truly are so blessed! These pictures are in a completely random order, but this is the best I can do tonight. :)
 |
| This might be my new favorite picture. I love these two sillies. My life is so full. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Madison, Isabella, and Chloe with the princesses! Madi and Chloe's faces kill me! And I loved the spot where these princesses were... The waterfall and dwarfs! So cute! |
 |
| Chloe Oby, Fred and Taylor with Tow Mater! We loved Cars Land! |
 |
| Chloe, Isabella, PJ, Fred, Tonio, Henry, and William with the infamous Meeska Mooska! I am so in love with Fred's face in this pic! Is he scared? Just checking him out? Letting him know who's boss? I don't know, but I find it hilarious! |
|
 |
| I love this pic of Chloe in her minnie glasses. She got these last time we went to Disneyland - I think they're so cute :) |
 |
| Izzy in the game room at the house. The kids loved the game room! |
 |
| Who wouldn't love a game room with Foosball!?! Nothin' better! |
 |
| Here's Taylor, Nick, and Oby between rounds of Pit. We adults didn't need a game room to play games. We got rowdy, though, playing Pit, Ticket to Ride, and card games. So many fun memories! |
 |
| Zeke and the Hulk at the Lego store. Don't make Zeke mad! No, really, don't. ;) |
 |
| Oby, Jamie, Tonio, Zeke in the pool. The pool at the house was SO nice and we spent a LOT of time in it (mostly doing cannonball contests, of course)! |
|
 |
| William is such a cutie. He said Oby was his favorite guy on this trip. Oby is my favorite guy, but Will is right up there. Love this kid. |
 |
| The whole pool crew! |
 |
| Beautiful little Madison! |
 |
| Papa & Chloe |
 |
| More fun in the pool/hot tub! |
 |
| Pete, Freddo, and Taylor |
 |
| We all loved this new tire ride in Cars Land. I didn't have my camera when Chloe rode on it, but she looved it! They had a booster seat for her so she could ride by herself and she just loved it! So fun :) |
 |

 |
| Oby got Chloe this glow in the dark balloon. Oh boy, did she love it for the 2 hours it lasted. She beat that thing until it popped! |
 |
| Love these kids! |
 |
| Our sweet kiddos for a group pic the night before we left: Izzy, Will, Henry, Zeke, Madi, Chloe, Lucas, Tonio, PJ, and Fred. :) |
Before I had Chloe, I liked Disneyland okay, but didn't think much of it. But the memories I've made with Chloe and Oby at that place and the magic in Chloe's eyes... it's a pretty special place to this heart of mine. I'm so thankful we were able to go and am already looking forward to next time :)
