EasterTime

Happy Easter Everyone.
We had a great day filled with lots of fun spending time together as a family. We also enjoyed a few fun events prior to Easter. And of course, we brought them to sit on the Easter bunnies lap. Jude did well, considering last year, the picture was of him screaming and reaching for mommy. He sat still, no crying, but definitely no smiling either. Here is a run down of our Easter happenings.

Visiting the good old Easter bunny in their Easter outfits.

On Saturday we had a fun little Easter egg hunt here in the town homes. Jude loved gathering a few eggs, and of course eating the candy inside. Olive also loved playing with the eggs, and hanging out. She loves being outside.

Jude got lucky this year and received a few fun gifts from the Easter bunny and from grandma's.

And Thanks to Grandma Taylor, I think Olive may be the hottest girl on the beach this summer!

Happy Easter Everyone.
Yes, next year we will be dying eggs, this year we ran out of time!

And I included a few fun shots of Olive and Jude. As i was cleaning the house the other day, she got stuck under the chair and was making some cute faces so I had to snap a few, and of course Jude had to sneak in too!

Disneyland Fun

This year for the Jones Family trip we went to Disneyland, my dad really wanted to go and see all the kids have fun. In fact a few weeks before he died, he had told Olive that he was so excited to see her at Disneyland. The trip was already planned, so although my dad was not here to join us, we still went and we had a blast. All of the kids LOVED it, and I myself am a kid at heart, and think I loved it even more. It is such a magical place.

We had a 3 day park hopper pass- for Disneyland and California Adventure. We also broke up the week with a few beach days, and went to Knott's berry farm. It was a very busy week with long days. but we had so much fun! Surprisingly the adults were able to have fun too, we went on lots of rides, thanks to the fast pass and rider switch passes.
Thank you so much Mom ( and Dad).

Here we are at the Newport Beach temple, what a beautiful and special place.

Our little family at the beach, it was both Jude and Olive's first time. Jude loved running from the waves with his cousins, flying kites and building sand castles, and Olive loved eating the sand. - we continued to see the sand for a few days in her diapers :)

Olive was just as happy as can be, after all she was in the happiest place on earth. She was a trooper, playing, sleeping and eating with a smile all week.

Jude loved all the rides, he could not wait for a new ride. It was so cute to see how excited he was. He was a good kid too. He is so happy when he is with his cousins.

We found Goofy at Toontown, Jude was so excited, but once we got close he was a little scared.
This was on the first day, by the end of the week, he loved the characters.

Jude and Jackson playing on Goofy's car.

As you can see, it was Spring Break for quite a few people. It was crowded, but we had a good schedule (yes, I planned our day out- I'm weird like that) so we did not have to wait in crazy lines.

One night we ate at Goofy's Kitchen where we enjoyed a nice meal with a lot of characters. Goofy, Minne Mouse, Chip (from chip and dale), the mad hatter, Aladdin, Pluto etc.
It was so much fun. Jude was in LOVE with Minne mouse, he would walk around the restaurant and follow her. It was so cute.

Here are the boys at Knott's Berry Farm, getting ready for their first ride of the day!

It was a nice trip, it is always fun to vacation with family.
