How How How have 2 years gone by!!

My baby Renn just turned 2!!!  We spent the day at Disneyland. We had some family and friends join us and it was a magical day:)  If you ever go to Disney I highly recommend the character breakfast.  As you sit you are literally BOMBARDED by every character while eating.  The kids flipped out..of course…  Rennix went crazy over Minnie.  She cried “Peeze Minnie Wait, Peeze, Peeze!” over and over again as Minnies handler pulled her away.  Her stuffed Minnie is now loved even more.  I don’t think any stuffed animal in history has received so many kisses!!

I’m in shock that this tiny button is officially a toddler!!!

1 day old

Oh Disneyland, how I love you.
Spent the day with the twins and my sis at sweet Disneyland.  We had SOOO much fun.  Baby had alone day with daddy.  Can I just say life is easy when you don’t need diapers, bottles and a stroller on you every second of the day!  They are the perfect age….but every age seems to be the ‘perfect’ age.  I’ll say that until they turn 13…haha.
Disneyland is great because you get in the car and feel like you’ve worked out.  Which I don’t do but should!  Haha.
We had so much fun we woke up the next day and the whole family went again!  If you’ve got a season pass you might as well use it:)  And the kids start up school again so a nice way to squash in a bunch of fun while we have them home for the last few days.  
NOTE TO MY MOM:  MOM PLEASE WRITE THE STORY OF HOW YOU WERE ARRESTED AND BANNED FOR LIFE FROM DISNEYLAND….HYSTERICAL…

My baby is 1!!!!

I truly can NOT believe my tiny is 1!!!!  It feels like a month ago really!  We had such an amazing birthday celebration.                            (Tons of pics….sorry)

Jonny, Ashley, the beans and I went to Disneyland.  We have taken the kids every year on their birthday, so Rennix got her “Day at Disney!”.  We still haven’t done an all out birthday party for the twins yet.  Maybe this year for their 4th will be their first.  That will be my excuse for going all “Super Sweet 16” on the hubs!  “Honey they’ve never had a party!  It’s only 8 elephants…”  
I think it’s easier and more fun to spend the day with the family somewhere really amazing.  

It’s a tradition for our girls is to wear the amazing birthday hat!  I bought it when Saylor was 10 months old on tour and she has worn it for every birthday.  She was so giddy that Renn was wearing the special cake hat finally!

We took the kids to Blue Bayou for dinner.  Right before dessert and singing ‘Happy Birthday’, Baby Renn fell asleep!

Another birthday tradition (for mama) is to get a silhouette made for each baby.  

So I now have the little silhouettes of all the kids at 1!!  So cute!!
The twins crashed outside:)
After the kids went to bed…mommy, daddy and auntie played in the hat store.  ANOTHER tradition:)

As we got back to the car with the sleeping babies the fireworks started.  We woke Renn up to see her birthday show and she was amazed.  All in all an amazing birthday:)

Last pic of the night after a wild day of partying!!
I love you my sweet Ari Atari!  You are the sweetest yummiest baby ever!

Now that I am completely finished breastfeeding…I am a bit sad.  With the twins, my lovely lady lumps called it quits at 5 months old.  Which made me feel like a horrible mom.  So this second time around I didn’t listen to the nurses when they told me I needed to pump and supplement with formula.  I took my tidbit of a baby and the two of us figured the whole thing out, alone and without outside interruptions.  I exclusively breastfed her until she was 9 1/2 months old.  She started supplementing because I could tell my milkers were not quite doing their job.  Her first bottle my hubby gave her and when she took it I balled….it felt like my baby was a teenager.  She still nursed for a month more while transitioning before my bod gave up.  She went from petite to pudgy in a week flat!!  haha!!  So over the last few days I have been remembering our special experiences fondly.

Like the time at Disneyland for Mickey’s Halloween Party-
She was 1 month old and thinking I was hysterical, stuffed my fat butt into a skintight Avatar bodysuit.  Complete with full paint, a tail, wig and oh yeah a pale white loaf sized baby dining at my boob the entire night!!

Or the time at the LA County Fair, while my 2 year olds were illegally bungie trampoline jumping (They were waaay too young but somehow my son talked the men into letting them go…I know, BAD mom….Hey, they’re still alive), my 2 week old was locked at the human baba keeping us both toasty in the freezing weather.  In the insanely loud and crazy atmosphere she somehow slept like….well….a baby!
The bunches of times on the side of a stage while daddy blared guitar (while wearing baby headphones of course!), walking in a charity marathon, while non stop traveling and always being bounced around like crazy while mama ran after the twins:).  It wasn’t always the conventional way, but I made it work in our crazy lives and she followed suit like a perfect little bean.  On the run breastfeeding I’ll call it:)  haha and I will miss it!  I love you my sweet Renn
You got any awkward or funny breastfeeding stories?
