Layton Park

Last night we decided to go to Layton Park and have some fun. My brother Jesse came with us. First we had a good time playing on the toys and swings. Then we went down to feed the ducks. The kids had a great time. We had to keep reminding Kinley and Dennin to throw small pieces of bread because sometimes they would just let the whole slice go flying! It was a great evening.

What a cute bunch!

The kids love feeding the ducks. Uncle Jesse did a good job keeping the kids out of the water!

Makinleys Birthday

Makinley turned 4!! I cant believe how big she is getting. She is a pill when it comes to taking her picture, she either wont smile, pulls a face or will not look at the camera. These were the best shots I could get from her. She had her birthday while we were in Disneyland so when we got back we had a little family party for her.
Here she is with a princess book. She LOVES the princesses.
This was taken in our hotel in Disneyland on her birthday. We did take a couple of presents there with us. She is opening her new flip-flops. She absolutely loves flip-flops. She has a hard time saying her "f " so she calls them her blip-blops.
Because of her love of flip-flops I decided to make her a flip-flop cake. They turned out pretty good. She thought they were awesome. I cant figure out how to turn the picture yet either!

Messed up!

I am still trying to get the hang of this posting thing. All of my disney posts are backwards, so I know it looks weird but I will figure it someday!! Have patience with me and enjoy the mess!

Here is our little family in front of the Castle. This was on our last day in the park.
The whole Reid clan in Disneyland. What a blast we had!
So Makinley and I had our birthdays while we were at Disneyland. Makinley turned 4!! Well if you have a birthday there they give you a pin to wear that says your name and that it is your birthday. So Makinley got some special treatment that day. We were in California Adventure and Woody came along while we were trying to decide what to do and he gave Kinley a high-5 and saw her pin and he grab her in the stroller and took off with her. I managed to get in front of them for a second to take a picture. So we followed Woody pushing Makinley and he took us to a back door and let us in this play that was about to start. So we stayed and watched it and after it was over, Woody came off the stage, grabbed Kinners again and took off with her over to Cinderella (who was also in the play with him) He put Taelor and Makinley right in the front of the line of all the kids and them brought them back to me and gave them a big hug! It was so awesome!! He was so cute with her.

Here are the kids with Pluto. Dennin was so happy to see him. He had a Pluto shirt on the day before but we never saw him.
Ok, so we went and saw the Princesses. Snow White was the first one. As soon as Dennin saw her, he ran too her and hugged her and would not let go! It was so cute. I couldn't believe it. She was so sweet to him she just hugged him back and talked really soft to him, and finally I had to practically pry him off she gave him a big kiss on the cheek. He just stared at her the rest of the time we were with the other princesses. (there were three at a time there) Well on our last Princess, Mulan, Dennin was still eyeing Snow White and no one had come around the corner to meet her yet (she was the first princess in the line) she waved for him to come back over and he took off and hugged her again. I was laughing so hard! I don't know what it was about her but Dennin sure liked her. Funny thing is, we never watch the Snow White movie either! Anyways it was quite the experience, and here I thought he wouldn't even want to be there with the girls!
Dennins kiss on the cheek from Snow White, which lasted all day!
All the kids with Snow White.

Disneyland Fun

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Disneyland. We had a blast!! We went with my family; my Mom and Dad, Jesse and his wife Jodi, Devin and Jaxon. It was nice to have more adults than kids! We spent three days in Disneyland and California Adventure. The kids had a ball as you can see. Taelor was tall enough to ride on almost everything. Her favorites were the Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, Soarin California and meeting the Princesses. She HATED Tower or Terror. She was so brave to try all the rides at least once!! Makinley also loved the Matterhorn and Pirates. Her favorite by far was meeting the Princesses, especially Sleeping Beauty. She rode on all the little kid rides and loved them too. Dennin wasn't as sure about the rides. They made him a little nervous sometimes. He was a great sport though and went on them all. He really loved seeing all the characters and giving them a big hug. He even got a little crush on Snow White. The weather was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better time.

Don't ya just love his face!!
