We went up a day early and got to spend some time at the beach which was so beautiful. I loved going to California ever since I was a little girl because we always got to go to the beach and hang out with my Aunt Lezlie. It is so fun getting to see my kids get to experience the same fun I always had...they adore "California Aunt Lezlie!" So it was Natalie's introduction to the beach and Alexis broke her in by throwing a nice handful of sand in her face. Thank goodness she was asleep by that time and so her eyes and mouth were closed. Other than sand in the face I am pretty sure she enjoyed the beach, if nursing is her favorite thing to do than doing it on the beach is a double bonus! My three older rascals took a minute to get used to the sand and seaweed but were over it in an instant and ended up soaking themselves in the water. Who said swimsuits were needed at the beach? Zachary also had a good time hanging out with my cousin who is pretty close to him in age.
Day Two
Right after Disneyland we checked into our hotel then went back to my Aunt's house for some trick or treating. By that time I was exhausted and was pretty sure my kids were going to crash, but amazingly they were fine and had a blast trick or treating with all their cousins! 
Day ThreeBack to Disneyland for one more day! This day was more relaxed we didn't end up riding on too many rides, if you ask Maile she will tell you "only FOUR" if you want to be exact but we did get a chance to eat a really good all you can eat BBQ lunch in frontier land. Zachary pretty much ditched us and the young kids to have some tween fun with my little sister and my cousins. He had soooo much fun riding all the big kid rides and not having to deal with his parents. A big thanks to my Aunt Susan and Aunt Lezlie for taking them around. Overall the day was great and Grandma took all the little kids back to the hotel for a slumber party and the hubby, my older sister and her husband all got a chance to go back and ride some adult rides. That was the best, and I decided I could use a healthy dose of adrenaline everyday if only I had a roller coaster or a free fall in my back yard! 
Well looks like I just might have one soccer player on my hands. My little Becca has energy for days and chases that ball up and down the field while Lexi on the other hand is more suited to stand and watch, she gets too hot, or at least that's what she complains about. Anyhow, it is fun to see them out there on the field in their cute little uniforms!
Alexis and Rebecca turned four the day after Natalie was born so I am lucky enough that while I was in the hospital Grandma and Aunt Lezlie took them out to breakfast for some pancakes and then took them shopping for presents. I am pretty sure they hardly noticed that they got somewhat skipped over this year because getting a new sister was pretty much all they were excited about. What a neat present...except now they have to share their birthday week with another sibling! Happy birthday my sweet, adorable, funny, stubborn, challenging and crazy twins, our family would be really boring without you two! Love Mommy!
Soccer didn't really work out for
