These Shoes Were Made For Walking!

Yep, those are my flip flops that Aubrey is wearing, she came walking out of the laundry room wearing them...on the wrong feet of course, but she did it all by herself, and boy did she look pleased ;)

Yeah......BOY!

Back to Disneyland....AGAIN!

We just can't get enough of this place! And the most awesome thing is Makayla is just as excited everytime we go...even though this is the third time within a week that we have gone! This time we met our good friends Chalia, Ella, and Grandma Sherry down at the magic kingdom. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Happy 5th Birthday Madeline!

A fun filled day at the Magic Kingdom with sweet friends! What a blessing to share memories with an amazing friend and her daughter, who is Makayla's "best friend!" Lots of laughter, giggles, yummy food, princess pictures, autographs, dancing, and love! Happy birthday Maddie and thank you for letting us share in your special day! We love you and your mommy!

So You Think You Can Dance!

For Mima's 60th Birthday present, we got her tickets to So You Think You Can Dance! We had so much fun watching all of the dancers live, a special treat for Mima to go with Makayla to her first concert type event! Precious memories!

Aubrey's new words/signs

"I'm not sucking my fingers anymore!"

So Jamen and I have had the discussion as to how and when we were going to break Makayla of sucking her fingers when she's tired....thanks to Megan, she made our job supper easy! While in Hawaii Megan told Makayla that if she quit sucking her fingers and her "bumpies" went away she could come over and pick a doll and dress to play with. Makayla said OK and that was then end of the finger sucking! So if anyone is in need of breaking a thumb/finger sucking habit I highly recommend going to Hawaii with your friends and having their child do the "dirty" work for you! Thanks Megs!

"Ribbit, Ribbit!"

3 1/2 hour nap!

Hate to wake a sleeping baby....but after 3 1/2 hours I decided I'd better do so if I want her to go to bed at a decent time tonight.


"Good Morning!"

Nap Time????

So we left Arcadia after picking Makayla up from Fast Trac Kids and Aubrey crashed. Half hour later we are home eating lunch, so by 2 I take Aubrey upstairs for her nap. I put a movie on for Makayla and I settle in on the couch for some rest....Aubrey talked and played till about 4 when she started getting fussy, it finally got quiet...and I walk in her room and I see her sound asleep with no shirt on, her socks are off (she wanted them on before her nap) and her room smells aweful! I am amazed that my 16 month old did this all on her own....well not the pooping part ;)

Disneyland!

After a 5 month break, we headed down to the "happiest" place on earth. Jamen had a class in Anaheim so we thought it would be fun to spend some family time at Disneyland. So the girls and I packed our dinner and headed down....we had a great time, it was hardly busy...we were able to go on 7 rides in 3 short hours (this has never been my expereince before) and I was able to go on Space Mountain and Star Tours while Jamen stayed and watched the parade with our girls...what a man!

Happy 60th Birthday Mima!

Busy Girl!

This is Aubrey's new favorite thing to do, wear a backpack, carry a backpack, with a purse, while pushing her baby! Love it!!

Nothing like a sleeping baby!

Sisterly Love

Aubrey and I took Makayla to school today and decided to wait around for her since it was only 1 hour today. Little Aubrey kept trying to walk up to her classroom, she would point to the walk way and say "sista".....just so sweet!

So finally when the hour was up, Aubrey ran up to her sister and waited with arms wide open for some luvies. It took Makayla a couple of seconds to notice us as she was "reading" her papers from school....when she did see us they gave each other such a huge hug....my heart just melted!
