September 2015

We had a fun month here at the Hastings' house.  We are keeping super busy with all of our schoolwork and other activities, and we are having a great time.

This was technically the end of August, but I didn't post about it, so I will now.  My cousin's son Brayden got married last month, and it was such a great day with a great reception.  The kids (and maybe the adults too) had so much fun dancing!!

The second week of September we were lucky enough to head out on a vacation to California!  We went with my parents and my sister and her family.  We had a very fun and a very busy week!

Look how excited Dan was

When we made it Vegas, I thought I was going to melt.

Once we made it into California we had dinner at Medieval Times.  Awesome! 

Hannah got a flower from our knight, she was super excited.

The next day we headed to Disneyland!!!!!!

Our first ride was Pirates of the Caribbean (of coarse)

Yay!

This was my favorite picture from the trip.  Jeffy looks like he is thinking "seriously?!?" hahahaha

Must have a Dole Whip

Hannah loved the giant corndog she got

Emma got herself a Maleficent cake pop

Watching the parade

I LOVE the Bear River Rapids ride.  It is definitely my favorite ride in California Adventure.  It's so much fun wondering who will get splashed next!!!

Kids love bubbles!

After a few days at Disneyland we had a beach day.  It happened to be the only rainy day of the week, so we didn't spend much time at the beach.  It was also super windy!

Hannah has awesome hair when it get humid.  Hahahahahaha!!

The kids trying to get into the Jedi show.  They didn't get in.  I believe they need to learn how to be more excited :)

Day 4 in Disneyland, and we're all going a bit crazy.

Taking another ride on the Rapid ride.  Jeffy did not want to get wet, so I wrapped him in my scarf.

Seriously, this is the best ride!

We took the kids into meet Anna and Elsa.  They were not very impressed.  They really aren't character kids.  

Our last ride we rode Cars.  The girls raced the boys, and the girls won!!  Awesome ending to an awesome time at Disneyland.

Goodbye!

The weather has been still very nice for September.  Last week the girls and I hiked up to Donut Falls.  It was such a nice day and we had a great time!

And finally . . . Today my Emma turns 13.  I still don't know exactly how this happened, but it did.  Emma is such a silly girl.  She loves making us laugh, and loves hearing stories about Dan's childhood.  (I'm the worst storyteller, so she never asks me, hehe)  She is very artistic and loves sketching.  Although she did give me a little trouble while being born, I am so glad to have my Emma!!

And now we head to October . . .
