Once we arrived in Anaheim Saturday afternoon, we happily reunited with Monet, had lunch in DownTown Disney, and rested in the hotel for a minute. Then I was off to the Convention Center to get the girls ready for our first competition. Our performance time was at 5:45. The warm up was a little shaky. Everyone seemed to have some nerves, but they amazed me and hit a great routine. We were all so thrilled. It went as well as we could have hoped. They announced shortly after, that we qualified for Finals the next night. We were so happy because, all year I've been telling them, "let's just make it to finals, let's just make it to finals..." We went out to eat, I went back to the hotel while Grant, Riley, mom, dad and Monet went bowling and played games.

Sunday morning the family took Monet to Disney Land while we had cheer practice. Then Chloe and I met them for lunch and some rides.
Everyone kept talking to Monet about going on the Pirates ride. I kept saying, "no, she'll be too scared. Don't take her on it!" I couldn't have been more wrong. It's all she talked about the entire trip. I can't tell you how many times she said, "I want to go on the Pirate ride!" When we got off (the first time) we went right into the store and bought her this pirate kit to go with her new Tinkerbell outfit. She walked around carrying all these pirate accessories.
It was S L O W moving when she had out the pirate map to give us all directions.
The absolute best is her voices when she says, "arh" and "ahoy matey"
Sunday evening we went back to compete again. We had a really great warm up but sadly the routine fell apart a bit. Sometimes that happens. But everyone was fine and had lots of fun competing. So we went home with 5th place.
We went back to Disneyland that evening until midnight. I'm not sure what was keeping me going, I was so exhausted, but how do you skip out on Disneyland? Impossible!
Monday we went into Princess mode. I tried to get Monet to buy the Tiana dress that she talked about for three months before we got to Disneyland, but she just wanted to be a pirate this trip. You never know what you're going to get with this girl. That's why I love her so much. She is beyond entertaining!
It was fun having Nikki come hangout. We had a little mishap when Riley put her coat, which had her iPhone, wallet, and car keys, in the wrong stroller, because I told him that it was our stroller...oooops!
So Larry and Monet watched the parade while we stroller hunted. No luck. But thankfully it got turned in the next morning!
Another happy, fun, exciting, trip to Disneyland. Monet loves it so much, it makes us all have a great time!
...
Now we're home to no more cheer, still dealing with morning sickness, working on getting Monet to stay asleep all night, and getting ready for Easter!
