California Trip with Grammy & Grampa

Grammy & Grampa reserved a condo in Carlsbad, California for a week and invited us to tag along!

We had a busy week- we went to Sea World, Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the beach.

We had a great time!

Natalie's First Trip to Disneyland

We decided to take a quick trip to Disneyland for their Halloween time celebration with my parents. Natalie had an amazing time looking at everything, meeting the characters and dancing at every opportunity she had. She didn't really like the rides, but enjoyed looking at everything around her while she was on them.
We can't wait to bring her back!

LOVE HER!

Hawaii

We were lucky enough to be able to take a week long family vacation to Maui earlier this month. We enjoyed hanging out at the resort pool and the beach as a family. Natalie wasn't too fond of the sand, but was happy playing on her beach towel. We can't wait to take more family vacations!

Sea Life Aquarium

Natalie and I visited the Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills Mall with Ashley, Colten, Trish, Kylee and Megan.

Natalie LOVED talking to all of the fish!

 

Walking!

Natalie has a mail cart that she LOVES to walk around with! It is pretty amazing how good she is. I'm sure she'll be walking on her own in no time.

 

 

Natalie & Noodle

Natalie just started to play with Noodle. He isn't too sure about it yet, but I'm sure he will love it soon!

 

Little Gym

Every other week, Natalie and I head to Gilbert to go to the Little Gym for the "bugs" class (4-10 month olds). It is amazing all of the things they do!

On the bar; The bells are her favorite part!

Balancing with a hula hoop; Cousin Colten came to class with us!
