San Diego

We had the funnest time in San Diego. It was jam packed tons o' fun, like always. 

DAY ONE: We started with a BBQ at my Mom and Bob's house. They had a little toy Barbie Jeep that sat two and there was a LOT of driving around the tennis courts. It was so fun to watch the cousins have such a good time together. And It was especially great to get a little time with our newest niece, Ashtyn. Jenna was none-to-pleased with my holding her, and the green monster inside reared it's ugly little head. Kylie gave Chloe her old Cinderella costume that she had outgrown and Chloe was in HEAVEN! Twirling and twirling and smelling the roses. It was the cutest thing to watch ever! 

DAY TWO: We have season passes to Sea World so we spend the morning there. Jenna was enthralled by the whales. We fed the seals and Chloe had so much fun! 

We followed up that afternoon with another BBQ this time at Chris and Sara's house where my Dad and Holly joined us.  There was lots of swimming and swinging and bonding. 

DAY THREE: Jenna and I went back to Sea World with Jen, Shiloh, and Ashtyn. Jenna and Shiloh had the best time together. Dancing to the music, holding hands in their respective strollers, and giggling together. It was such a complete joy to watch! Such cute little cousins they are and I cannot wait to watch them grow up together. 

That evening we went to Kylie's concert and art show. She was so cute and did such a good job. Jenna was pretty entertained by the music and Chloe was totally enthralled. Kylie was so proud of her self portrait (As she should be!) 

Mother's Day

We had such a fun Mother's Day with the Madsens. Mark brought bubbles and Jenna was in heaven! (Though more often than not, she wanted to eat said bubbles.) Bayleigh made Tyree the cutest quilt (with the help of Aunt Val). It was a good day all the way around. 

Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point

Jenna and I joined Lorrie, Val, Tyree, and Bayleigh at Thanksgiving Point for their annual Tulip Festival. It's such a beautiful place and we had such a great time. Jenna just loves her Grandma Lor and it is so fun watching their relationship develop.

WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO SAY?!

Easter? Is it Easter?

 I've mentioned we're moving, right? So this is what our Easter looked like...

So our darling friends, the Kearls, did a little secret bunny. We slept in the new house the night before and when we came back to Fox Cove to get the next load this is what we found...

Seriously, how sweet are they? And how darling is our sweet baby girl? 

While I'm at it, thought you might also like to see pics of the new place...

You have how many pets?!

My dear, dear friend Kim Henrie and her family is moving to Portland, OR. It's breaking my heart! I'm not excited about this...but despite my begging, praying, pleaded, and even attempted bribing, they are moving nonetheless. When they move we are planning to move into their home and rent our house out. It will be nice to be on one level and to have a  yard. But along with renting their home, we are inheriting their dog, Molly Trigger. Once they get settled, then they will take her back. It's more of a foster care vs. adoption situation. She's a really good dog and Jenna could not be more excited.

And Trigger is so very good with Jenna. She's had lots of experience with Cutler and Kapri which makes me feel better. We really are very excited about having her, but it could be a bit crowded with two cats, Trigger, and a toddler...let the games begin! 

"MOME 'ER, GRIGGER! MOME 'ER"

It's Thursday Again!

I love Thursdays! We get to go to lunch with Grandma Liisa, Papa Stuart, and Uncle Bretty! We have the greatest time. Jenna adores her Uncle Bretty and it is so wonderful to watch how sweet their relationship is. And she loves how her Papa Stu feeds her salsa habit.

Disneyland - Day Two

Another GREAT day at Disneyland. I really do love this place. Jenna got a new Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal from Grandma Lor and she was in heaven. 

Jenna was NOT a fan of the characters, but loved playing in Mickey and Minne's houses. Chloe was tall enough to go on the roller coaster in Toon Town. She was in love...arms in the air, screaming at the top of her lungs. It was so fun to watch! Cooper was so happy to see Buzz Lightyear on the Buzz Lightyear ride. We did hit California Adventure for a little bit today, but there weren't a whole lot of great stuff for the kids where there wasn't a crazy long line. 

Jenna kept doing yoga in the middle of the lines. It was the absolutely the funniest thing to watch. 

Disneyland - Day One

We had the funnest time at Disneyland today! The weather was a little cold and drizzly but not horrible. My cousin Dori, Bryce, and Jen happened to be there as well, so we caught up with them for a little dessert and a couple rides.

Jenna was a total ham. She loved dancing to the music on the rides, especially the carousal. She absolutely love Pirates of the Caribbean and Winnie the Pooh. She had a great time with her Grandma Lor and was such a dream. And honestly...does she get any better?

It was the so fantastic getting to share The Happiest Place on Earth with the Quarders! Chloe and Cooper were so much fun. My favorite thing was watching Chloe sing "I'm Wishing" from Snow White into the wishing well. It was just so tender!
