Summing Up The Last Couple of Months

The last couple of months have just flown by. We've been going to Disneyland, Jack has been going to his preschool class, Joey has been keeping all of us on our toes trying to get into every cupboard all day long...and the list goes on and on. But somewhere in there we had Valentine's Day too. The kids had fun opening their gifts from MeeMaw and PawPaw and we all had a few M&M's. There hasn't been anything out of the ordinary really. Just the day to day fun and craziness. And this last Saturday is was pretty warm outside, so we put the kids in their new swimsuits and took them to play in a little bit of water. All the fountains weren't running, but at least there was a little bit. Kyle and I ate lunch while they played, and when we were done we went to the pool and let Jack play in the kiddie pool for a few minutes. It wasn't heated yet so Jack could only handle getting his legs in. And Joey sat on the side and kicked her feet in the water. It was short, but it was fun for them to get out and get a little wet.

We put a book together showing Jack's year while battling cancer. It shows his high points, his lowest points, and the progress he continues to make. There is a lot of writing explaining everything so viewing this full screen on a larger screen might be best. Enjoy!

Jack's Make-A-Wish Trip

Make-A-Wish Presentation Pizza Party! This is when we got all of the plans for Jack's trip.

Monday: Downtown Disney-We saw the movie Frozen and walked through the Lego store.

Dinner that night was at Cheesecake Factory.

Tuesday: First day at the parks-We saw Lightning McQueen, Mater, and Red! We were able to get into the park before anyone else and enjoy some one on one time with the cars.

Jack had a special place to rest throughout the day. He also got to see Buzz Lightyear here too!

We stayed at the Paradise Pier Hotel, so it was nice to just wake up and walk across the street to the parks.

Wednesday: Another day at Disneyland and California Adventure. It was awesome because Jack had a special "Wish Pass" that allowed him to get on any ride right away (any ride he was big enough for of course). He didn't have to wait in any lines and got to ride everything he wanted...numerous times.

We had lunch with the characters at Goofy's Kitchen.

Thursday: We had fun at the Long Beach Aquarium.

After the Aquarium we went to the Pirates Dinner Adventure.

Then it was back to our room to rest up.

We had a great view of California Adventure from our room.

Friday: We went back to Disneyland and California Adventure for our last full day in Anaheim. 

Jack had VIP seating for the Pixar Play Parade and loved it!

Saturday: Just before leaving the hotel for the week, we got some last minute souvenirs at the giant Disney store and Joey enjoyed a few cartoons.

We had TONS of fun and I'm so happy that Jack was able to enjoy a week of getting spoiled!
