Disneyland Day in Pics

In this pic of Zack, it seems to me like you can see what he is going to look like when he's older. For some reason, the pic ages him about 5 years...

Another one of Sophia's self prescribed poses!

We had a great day at Disneyland! It was just the three of us which ended up being quite nice! The kiddos are finally both over 40 inches tall so we got to go on many rides together! Add to that the fact that there were NO LINES, and we had an awesome day of getting on whatever we wanted to without waiting!

The kids ran to Woody to have their pic taken!

Here we are on the Pinnochio ride!
Believe it or not, this pic was not posed!

Buzz Lightyear is their favorite character in Toy Story, and they love him because they remember well how Buzz scared Auntie Stepha last time we were at Disneyland!

It is nice to be back in California!!! So, we went to California Adventure too!

They shared a HUGE corndog from CA Adventure! Zack was so great about helping Sophia! All I had to do was watch and occasionally put a squeeze of ketchup on the tip of the dog for them!

I got to go on the parachute drop with them...Yikes! I hate heights, but anything for the kiddos.
Who can pass up a pic with Lightning McQueen?

We ended the day at grandma's house where we got to play with the puppies!!!

Zack is slowly conquering his fear of dogs. He is now comfortable with puppies and small dogs. I am proud of him.

Here is grandma with her two youngest grandaughters. Grandma won't be happy I posted this because she is not up to putting makeup on quite yet as she just cries it off, but I promised myself I would not pass up any more pic moments involving the fam. Life is just too short! She'll understand!
Shortly after puppy play, this is what I found on the couch!!!!

Zack was having fun playing video games with his Uncle Anthony...he is addicted to video games even though I rarely let him play! It seems to be a fixation for him. He asks about 12 times a day if he can play video games!!!
Any moms out there have any feedback on video games and kidlets? Do you let them play as long as they'd like? Do you limit them? Do you see benefit to them playing? For some reason, I think it is okay for about 30 minutes or so a day, but I don't like that Zack is so fixated on playing. Any thoughts or feedback is welcomed!!!!

First! This is after Gina told ME there were new pictures! The kids look like they are having a blast - I'm so glad they've gotten to experience all these fun things. They are growing up so fast.

The pic of Gina and Sophia is ADORABLE!

Well, I'm not a mom but my brother (5 years older than me) has loved video games since Pong! We got our first Atari for his 8th birthday and upgraded from there. He always had charts on his bedroom walls of the games he passed and what levels. I must say he played sports and games outside and other with other things quite a bit as well. He now designs video games for a living, so it isn't all useless. ;)

Disneyland looks like fun! I miss that.
