The Jones Girls

This weekend is the last weekend for the Electric Parade at Disneyland.  It will be moving to Disneyworld in Florida.

With this in mind, we decided to go to Disneyland today.  Our friend Britney went with us.  We had a total blast. We went on every ride in Fantasy Land.    The girls had a blast driving cars and a nice cast member gave us fast passes to go on a couple of rides without waiting in line.

So, Britney took the triplets to the Rocket Ship ride and I took Savannah on Star Tours and then we went on Space Mountain.  Space Mountain was the biggest ride Savannah has ever been on and this was a huge and big deal!    She was scared and loved it all at the same time.  When we coasted in after the ride, she asked, mommy, can we go again!!    It was so much fun!!

At about 8pm, we ventured over to California to watch the Electric Parade.    It was really crowded and we couldn’t find a spot to park and view.   The girls were crashing out and exhausted.   So we grabbed a quick dinner and then went home.   Hopefully we can see it this weekend before it ends.

Today after our La Habra Moms Club meeting,we took my friend, Liz, out to lunch for her birthday.    She brought her son and I brought all of the girls.  We went to our favorite sushi spot, Higo Sushi.    We ate a lot and had a blast!  Our friend and owner of the restaurant, Junko, surprised Liz with a birthday green tea ice cream dessert – yummo!!   It was a lot of fun!!

Today we went to my friend, Chrissy’s daughter, Samantha’s 6 birthday party.  Chrissy and I were pregnant at the same time and our due dates were on the same day.   She wound up going over a week overdue and I wound up giving birthday a few weeks early.  So that is why Savannah’s birthday is 4 weeks different than Samantha’s.  Also, did you notice how close their names are.  Cute, huh!!

Anyway, Samantha’s birthday party was at Chuck E. Cheese.   I took all of the girls and we had a blast!!    It was so nice to see everyone and Samantha is so adorable.  The girls got kites as a party favor – how neat!!

Today I went to Jennifer & Stefano’s engagement party.    Jennifer is a dear friend of ours. We met her when she was my nurse and took care of me when I was giving birth to Savannah.  She also helped me deliver the triplets.  She has gone to VT with us a few times.

Anyway, Jennifer and Stafano met on eHarmony.com     They have been dated for almost 2 years.    He popped the question a few months ago.    So today is their engagement party at her parents house.

I stopped by Claro’s Italian market and picked up a dozen different fancy Italian pastries since I knew Stefano was Italian.    I also got his mom some fancy Italian chocolates as well as Jennifer’s mom some too.    We gave them $50 and a cute bride and groom Teddy bear set.  

The party was really nice and it was so much fun meeting her friends and extended family.  I had a wonderful time.

Jennifer and Stefano will be getting married in Italy.  I wish I could go, it sounds so fun and romantic.

I organized a fun day at Oeste Park for the La Habra Moms Club to celebrate Easter for our kiddos.   We all brought picnic lunches.   We had an Egg hunt and I brought some goodies for all of the kids and cupcakes for everyone.  The kids had a blast and also spend a lot of time on the playground.  

The weather was gorgeous today and it was so much fun for all of us!!

A friend of mine, Isa, who I have been friends with online was traveling down from San Francisco and staying at the Disneyland Hotel, The Grand Californian.     We planned on meeting today for the first time in person!

Isa and I were pregnant together with our multiples.   She has twin girls, Tamsin and Audrey and they just turned 4 and are a few months older than the triplets.  I also met her husband.

They had already spent the day doing rides at Disneyland so they wanted to have a nice dinner at Downtown Disney.  So, we met up with them at Downtown Disney.  We put in a reservation at The Rainforest Cafe, but it was 1 and 3/4 hour wait!   We went to their hotel and Isa changed her girls clothes.  We talked and walked through Downtown Disney for a while.  It was a bit chilly and her girls were getting very tired.  It was about 6:30pm.     She decided that they would just go up to their room and we would go ahead and go to Rainforest Cafe.

So, my friend Britney, and my 4 girls had dinner at Rainforest Cafe. The girls thought it was amazing.   They loved the animated animals, butterflies and the rainforest storm that encountered us every 1/2 hour.    After dinner they all wanted a toy and I took them down to the Rainforest Gift shop which is amazing!!  They all picked out Crocodiles.    I tell you, it is really like I have 4 boys than girls!!  LOL!

Today some long time friends of mine, Janet and Mike and their son, came over and we drove over to the Lakewood Park and Ride.  We climbed aboard our party bus, and headed out to the Hollywood Bowl.     We went to see Paul McCartney at the Hollywood Bowl!

Cliff stayed at home with the girls, he is not a huge concert fan.    Saved us a ton of money on babysitting costs.

Paul performed for 3 hours straight – nonstop!!    There were 3 encores, and he did 3 songs for each set of encores.  It was bloody amazing.     Hands down he is the best entertainer that I have seen in my life.     He is so talented and actually got the audience to perform for HIM.    Only a seasoned performer could get away with that!

He played a couple of songs that he said he had never played on American soil before.  Then he played a song that he had written for his friend John Lennon.  He also honored his other dear friend George Harrison.    It was truly endearing.

We had a blast and lost our voices.    Thank you Paul for giving us the time of our life!!
