Day 10...DISNEYLAND

One of my favorite places - DISNEYLAND - I was so excited to go today, I think Austin was pretty happy to. He was pretty much in awe the whole day and the face that you see is what we saw all day because he was trying to take everything in Our first ride we went on was Finding Nemo, we thought it was awesome and Austin loved it!
Alice and Wonderland

Carousal

Sleeping Beauty

Austin's favorite ride, It's a small world, we went on it twice.

Austin got to drive on Autopia, well sort of

Dumbo with Oma

Winnie the Pooh

It's a small world once again

What a fun day and because we went on a Monday after the big Holiday rush, Disneyland wasn't as crowed as it could have been and we got to go on lots of rides with short waits.

• It's a Small World (twice)
• Autopia
• Pinocchio
• Sleeping Beauty
• Dumbo
• Carousal

Day 8

Pretend City

My mom found a great place for us to take Austin, its called Pretend City and its a whole city that is pretend and the little guys get to play with EVERYTHING!!!

Grocery Shopping...more like climb on the counters and throw some boxes around shopping :-)

Someone was a little excited.
Tractor driving

Even in Pretend City you shouldn't text and drive....see what can happen...poor mom

Paul panicking at the police dispatch station.

We had a lot of fun at Pretend City, thanks for the great idea mom!

Afterward we took Austin home for a nap and we got to go out on a DATE, yup that's right just the 2 of us. We went for a drive and a walk at the beach.

Later on the night we had a game night with the Smith's/Petersen family. We got to Tanya and Aaron's house with a welcome sign that read "welcome but especially the Hunter's"...so sweet. Also that night I had a bunch of old friends get together at the skating rink so I met them there for a little bit, boy I haven't seen most of these people in 10 years!

What was Austin doing while his parent's were out on the town? He was playing with his Aunt and Oma and Opa...and even the Dutch Santa Clause made an appearance!

Day 7...Black Friday

Black Friday...by mom and I got up early...well early for me (ready by 8:30) and headed out to brave the crowds at Bella Terra. Our goal was to get some sweet deals at Kohls, my mom's favorite store. The line wrapped around the first floor several times!!! Although there were a ton of people there my mom was able to locate some winter clothes for herself and I scored some gloves for me!

After a long day of shopping for deals we met me sister and we all got pedicures, same color and everything. It was nice to spend time just the 3 of us. When we got home we played with Austin and my parent's gave me a much needed nap and they took Austin to the park.

Austin loved walking with Opa and Roxy
Looks like we might need to buy a puppy soon

After park and nap time we went to my sister's work, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co...for what else Shrimp!!!

Yet another great day spent with family.

Day 6

Thursday - Turkey day...once the turkey was prepared and in the oven my parent's and Paul, Austin and I went to the parks...yup parks...we went to the park by starview (Tanya you know what I am talking about) and to Mile Square park.

Austin was loving every minute of it!

I bet Paul that he couldn't cross the whole jungle gym...well I am out $5
a bit of a tight squeeze

Good boy Paul going down the slide all by yourself!

Such a climber

later on that night we went to visit the Petersen family and then it was off to bed!

Day 5

Today we just we traveled around town, just me, my mom and Austin. We first went to get his haircut, it was getting a little long. trying to distract him with toys, he hates having his head touched
he was getting a little concerned and scared, but in the end it was a good haircut but I think I will be doing the rest of his haircuts for a while, not worth all of those sad tears :-(
Afterwords we went to the Westminster mall where they have an indoor park. Austin had soooo much fun!

He flew off the slide and the smile says it all

That night we were treated to dinner by my wonderful in laws Dan and Debbie. She made us a wonderful home cooked meal, with my fav dessert (cookie crust, ice cream, butter scotch and whipped cream...can't get any better than that)...well it can because she sent us home with some home made fudge too.

Then I met up with some of my friends to do a little shopping, some ice cream eating ( I am pregnant so I have an excuse for all this eating so stop judging me) and then we were off to see Harry Potter!

Day 4

Tuesday my dad took a day off work and went with my mom, Paul, Austin and I to the Santa Ana zoo! Austin had a blast looking at all the animals and running around. in the aviary, Austin loved all the birds and the noises they were making
my mommy

llamas!

feeding the goats, there were so excited to get snacks

Austin finished our trip to the zoo with a train ride with his oma

Day 3

Frogg's Bounce House

We went bouncing right after breakfast. Austin loved bouncing with Paul and his Oma.

a little hard to bounce being preggo :-)

Playing with oma, he is such an oma's boy!

Today I got a hang out with my mom. Just me and her. No baby, no husband, and no huge bag, just us. We left during Austin's nap (which is rare because I can't do that on a regular day) and we went shopping, for Austin of course and me too, but it was nice just to hang out.

Later on that day we took my parents to an ultrasound place in Costa Mesa to find out the sex of our baby.

Here is our little one, you can see the eyes, nose and mouth and one the hands, so cute and kissable already.

and it was confirmed that we are having a boy!!! We are so excited that Austin is going to have a little brother and they will be 2 years apart and hopefully the best of friends.
