Hey Mickey!

It's no big secret that I LOVE Disneyland. As soon as the kids were out of the school for the summer, we packed up the car and headed west. I think I was probably more excited than the kids were!

The kids all ready for an exciting day at DL. It was a little cold for May. It never got over 69 degrees during the day. So it was a little chilly first thing in the morning.

We can't pass up an opportunity to get our picture taken with Pluto!

Being silly in Toontown

Getting a good look at Goofy's house.

Delaney decided it was fun to visit Minnie's house and hang out in her sink.

Posing with the man himself. MICKEY!

Getting a boost from Daddy

There was a Lego store in Downtown Disney. This was Jordan's favorite place to be. He is obsessed!

Hanging out back at the hotel.

Daddy's Girl

All smiles BEFORE the Tower of Terror. I should have taken an after picture of her crying. This was the only ride that she cried after.

Mama's Girl

Kierstin's first time on California Screamin'

A sweet moment

Watch out! He's driving!

Catching a ride on the train.

Goofy was in the lobby of our hotel several times. Kierstin had to say hi to him every time he was there.

We had a great time! Many wonderful memories made together. It was Delaney's first family trip and Kierstin's first time enjoying the BIG thrill rides because she's finally tall enough. I'd say it was a successful vacation. Until next time Mickey!!!

Newport Beach

Enjoying the beach even though it was freezing.

Delaney and I watching our family have a good time

All smiles..

"Look Mom a seashell"

Throwing sand..

Still having a good time...

More seashells...

AND THEN...

KIERSTIN FALLS FACE FIRST INTO THE WATER!

That's it.. beach trip over!

Only tears while Rob tries to calm her down and show her it's no big deal.

But nope.. "Daddy let's go home." NOW!!!

I've never laughed so hard in my life! Can you say Drama Queen?? We were there for MAYBE 20 minutes. Poor Rob was really looking forward to it too. Maybe we'll have better luck next time.

Our Kindergarten Graduate

It's offical! Kierstin graduated from Kindergarten!! She's onto bigger and better things in the first grade and we have been informed that she would like to be a teacher when she grows up. That must make her Grandma Fisch so proud. Congrats Kierstin! Job well done!!

*****************************************

On May 15th 2010 Jayme and Nick became husband and wife. I was so honored to be a part of their BIG day!!! Jayme is one of my most favorite people in the whole world, so it meant everything to me that she asked me to be a bridesmaid. She found an amazing man to spend the rest of her life with. And Nick's son Landon is so lucky to have Jayme as a step-mom. They are so perfect and cute together!

First of all I want to say that being in their wedding felt like prom all over again (minus the ugly corsage). It was so much FUN!! I got my hair and makeup done. I put on the cutest black and fuchsia dress. Plus I got to wear the HOTTEST pink heels. It was so much fun to dress up and feel pretty. My whole family was looking pretty spiffy themselves. Jordan wore a suit with a fuchsia tie. Kierstin got to wear a pretty fuchsia and white flower girl dress and Delaney wore a fuchsia dress with a pretty bow on top of her pretty little head. Even Rob was looking pretty hot!

The ceremony was sweet and simple. Just the way I like it. My feet were killing me in those 3 inch heels. So standing up for too long would have been torture! But I made it. The reception was so much fun. The food and music were great!! I don't remember the last time that I got to shake my booty like that. I was actually sad that the night had to end. Jayme's attention to detail was phenomenal. It was a wonderful celebration of their love.

I can't wait to make many more memories together as friends. I'm already looking forward to the fun date nights and gatherings with our families. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Heuer!! The Kammeyer's LOVE you!!!!!

Mother's Day

One of my most favorite days of the year! I get to spend it with my family and be spoiled. Every year is pretty much the same. We go to church in the morning with my Mom (aka Grandma). The last couple of years "the girls" (plus Jordan) have gone to brunch afterwards. Aunt Liz joins us and we have a nice meal together. My husband spoils me with flowers and I requested a "date night" this year. Since we've had Delaney we don't go out alone much. So some alone time was definitely needed.

One of my most favorite quotes since I became a mother..

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide to have your heart go walking around outside your body forever." - Elizabeth Stone.

This quote has stuck with me since before Jordan was born. The day he came into my life, my world changed. I had no idea that I could love one little person so much. He made me want to be a better person and a wonderful mother. As I got older, the desire to have another little one to love and care for became stronger. Therefore our miracle baby, Delaney was born. These two give me meaning and purpose to my life. I'm so glad that I get to be their MOM.
