Warning very long much updated post with lots and lots of pictures!!!! 
All of my family headed out to San Diego last weekend for a fun filled trip to Disneyland and to see our brother-in-law Nate graduate from Law School at the University of San Diego. For Mother's Day we got Mom and Dad tickets to go with all of us kids to Disneyland. We met up in Anaheim the first night. We had these amazing rooms with bunk beds for the kids and King beds for the adults at Mom's amazing Marriott discount!
Disneyland here we come!!
This was the first Disneyland trip for Bailey, Boston, Cassidy and McKenzie. It was kinda fun to do all the kiddie rides and see the parades and fireworks.
The girls ready to ride the KC Junior train. Choo Choo! 
Bobbi brought Jackson to Disneyland for the day with us while her husband Nate finished packing up their moving truck and spent the day with his Dad and Grandpa before graduation. 
Cassidy loved "It's a Small World!" It was fun to pick out all the Disney characters in each of the different countries.
McKenzie slept for about the first 2 hours we were there.
Jackson and McKenzie eating a snack while we waited in the long line to see the Princess'. 
Sadly, I think the carasoul was Cassidy's favorite ride. She was a little freaked after going on Mr. Toad's Wild Surprise.
Since we knew we were going to be in line for awhile we got the girls face painted. 
They each got butterflys on their cheek. 
Finally after over an hour of waiting in line we got to see the Princesses........ 
Bailey was so excited to meet Ariel. She is her favorite Princess. She even gave the girls a flower off the bush when Baileys big lollipop fell and broke into pieces and saved the day. I don't think Cassidy quite knew what to think about meeting the princesses in person. 
McKenzie was a little scared too when Mickey Mouse came up to say Hi! 
We had front row seats to see the parade in California Adventure! I think the parades are the best part about Disneyland!
Look at this happy crowd! Disneyland is the happiest place on earth!
Bailey and Cassidy were so excited to see all their favorite Disney characters so close.
After the Main street parade we staked out a park bench and kept it until the firework show that night. It definatley was a very long day but we had a lot of fun. Now I know why people buy 5 day passes to Disneyland, there is just so much to see and do! 
Saturday was my brother-in-law Nate's graduation. He graduated from the University of San Diego with his law degree. Nate and Bobbi have lived in La Jolla the past 3 years while he's been in school and it has been so much fun to visit them when we go to the condo. We are going to miss seeing them as often. They moved back to Salt Lake City where Nate already had a job with a law firm he interned with last summer. Congratulations Nate! We are so proud of you! 
It was so fun to have our whole family there for Nate's graduation! 
Afterwards Nate and Bobbi chose a fun little place to eat for lunch in Coronado called the Beach Diner. It was so yummy! The food was delicious and the ice cream was amazing. We will definatley be making that a must visit place whenever we go to San Diego! 
Jared trying to take a bite of his humongous burger! 
The rest of the day we spent swimming in the pool and hanging out at the hotel.
Love Kenzie's double chin and her toothy smile. She actually started really crawling this week! Only took her about 10 months! She has such a big personality now that she thinks she pretty cool stuff crawling everywhere. The best is here giggle fits at night. I really need to videotape one, they are hilarious! 
These two are the bestest buds whenever they get together! 
Gotta love Mom's Marriott discount. We only stay at the Residence Inn's with free buffet breakfast and kitchen suite's for only $45 a night. Can't get better than that! 
Jackson is 10 months and can already walk! He is such a cute little boy. He skipped over the whole crawling phase and has been walking since he was 8 months now.
After church on Sunday we headed to the beach for a quick stop. Kenzie loved the sand and was not afraid to get dirty. Cassidy still isn't a fan about the whole dirty sand and freezing water thing. 
Did we mention Danielle has been dating this guy Richie and they are planning on getting married in August! Yes it was quite a shock for us all too! She met him in the Singles Ward when she first moved in with us in January and they have been exclusively dating for the past 3 weeks and decided to get married before he heads into the AirForce and tech school for Aviation Mechanics in August. Yes that is in 2 months! Crazy!!!! 
Wendi, Jake, Boston and Bailey at the beach with us. They decided to stay a couple more days and hit up Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. Too bad we had to get back home for work and school. 
Cassidy thinking hard about getting her toes wet. 
McKenzie sure loved the water though! 
Sad goodbye for these cute little cousins. Cassidy adores her cousin Bailey and just tags along with her everytime we see them. We wish we lived closer but she's excited to see her again for the Prince Family reunion in June.

Goodbye cool breezy San Deigo with your freezing nights and hello again hot sunny 105 degree Arizona in mid May that if I remember correctly doesn't cool off until November. We are going to shrivel up and die this summer!!!!
