Disneyland and Father's Day 2009

We were at Disneyland on Monday and Tuesday. It was crazy crowded. I have never seen so many people in one place. We made the best of it though and still had a good time. We didn't get on many rides because the lines were ridiculously long, but we did get on our favorites. We spent a total of 3 nights in a hotel in Anaheim. On Tuesday it was also Nataly's 8th grade graduation and we stopped by the dinner celebration that they had for her and her cousin. Ethan and Lilah's cousin Becca had fun playing together. We won't be going back to Disneyland until September first. We will be taking just Kai and Ethan because it will be their 2nd and 4th birthdays.

Ethan had his weight and hemoglobin check with Dr. Reynaldo on Friday and I am excited to report that he has gained another 2pounds. He is now 23lbs at 23 months old, which places him in the 9th percentile. He had fallen off the growth chart at about 18 months and then Dr. Reynaldo had us add a bottle of pediasure a day to Ethan's diet as well as additional fiber. Well it has paid off and his weight is moving in the right direction.

On Saturday, which was our actual anniversary date, Melissa babysat and Steve and I ate out at Rei de Gado which is our favorite restaurant. It is an a great place for carnivores like us. It was the best meal. The only downside was that this place is downtown and there was a Padre's game going on and we had to pay $20 for parking. It felt like we were robbed. After dinner we went to a movie. We saw Land of the Lost. It was as funny as we were expecting it to be. We got home at about 10pm, but then we watched my DVR'd episode of the Bachelorette and we also after that watched He's just not that into you on DVD. (So basically I made Steve watch very girly TV) By this time it was about 2 am when we went to bed.

Sunday was Father's day and since I had kept Steve up late I decided to let him sleep in. He didn't get up until close to 1pm. The kids and I each got him a bluray movie. At church the older three kids made cute cardboard ties for him and the younger 2 kids had cute hand prints for him.

Today was pretty uneventful, but tomorrow as soon as I get home, I am going to pick up Lilah and Alex and pretty much turn right around and head to the Rock Academy. We have applied for Lilah and Alex to both attend this fall and they have their assessments tomorrow morning. Hopefully I will still be able to get to bed at a decent hour because I have a co worker's baby shower at 5pm.

Well, hope everyone else also had a great father's day.

Love,
Suzanne
