Disney Crazy 2013

With our passes set to expire in March, we knew we needed to hit Disneyland hard.

As soon as Nash was feeling better we committed to go every Friday after Ben got off work.

I also pulled Tatum out of school 6 times, I went with our playgroup, we went with GoGo and Pa, Ben and I slipped away to Disneyland without kids and I even went with just my two littles. We love Disneyland and it really has been another 'magical year!' I love January and February, some days we really felt we had the park to ourselves.

She was finally tall enough to ride Chip N Dale Rollercoaster.

This night in early February was 40 degrees and

I think the weather kept everyone away.

We had CARS land to our freezing selves.

A fun day with GoGo and Pa

Captain EO is also one of our family's favorites.

With Tatum loving old school Michael Jackson and Lincoln loving Star Wars,

and Ben and I digging the nostalgia it is the perfect combination.

We turned to the bottle..

This little guy just can't catch a break.

When he hit six months he was scheduled for his surgery but I called and rescheduled and pushed it back until after the holidays.

He had hypospadius and chordee repair surgery. We went in first thing in the morning and we were home early afternoon. They took my little guy from triage and we weren't allowed to see him until it was over. The scariest part was that he had to be put under completely.

He had a stent and catheter in for 10 days and every diaper change was a very traumatic experience.

Once the stent and catheter were removed, he seemed to feel better and the healing really progressed from that point on.

I tried to keep him home, out of the carseat and on his back to keep him most comfortable.

I had a lot of help with getting the kids to and from the places they needed to be.

It was about 6 weeks for him to look, and I think feel completely healed.

He is such a trooper.
