San Jose Fun!

While we were in San Jose (see post below), we were able to hang out with the whole family!!  (We missed you Stacey and Jamey!!) We took a tour of Stanford, went to a farm, ate, and ate, and ate!!  We had a great time!  Thanks for taking such good care of us Sarah and Craig!!

Olivia's Baptsim

Last weekend we went to San Jose, CA for my niece's baptism.  How is Olivia 8 years old??  Olivia is the most wonderful little girl.  These are a few things I love about her:
-She is wicked smart.
-She is really funny.(Just like her mama)
-She loves clothes.
-She is a wonderful artist.
-She is a great helper with Ella.
-She is messy.
-She loves to bake and cook.
-She loves to dance.
-She is a drama queen.
-She is a great friend. (Just like her mama)
-She is an amazing sister. (Just like her mama)

I could go on and on, but I just love her. I am so glad we live close enough that we are able to see her as much as we do.  We wouldn't have missed her big day for anything.  We are super proud of her!!

Happy birthday my sweet little girl!

Happy Birthday Ella!!!  I cannot believe Ella is two!!  Yesterday we were laying in my bed watching Tangled and I realized that it was the last day she would ever be one.  It made me cry.  I get so overwhelmed when I think about how much I love Ella. 

She is smart.  She is spunky.  She is sassy.  She is silly.  She is messy.  She is curious.  She is busy. She is adorable.  She is beautiful.  She is loving.  She loves her brother.  She is perfect...in every way. 

Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for my sweet baby girl.  She is the light of our lives...and the complete joy of our hearts. 

Happy Birthday Ella!

We HAD to start the day with balloons!!

Her Birthday doughnut!  (I tried to make Red Velvet pancakes...but they were a disaster.  :(

Daddy woke up early and went and bought her Roses...I love him.

Then we headed to Disneyland to meet her One True Love...Miss Cinderella.  (Cinderella told her that Prince Charming calls her Ella.)  :)

And ride on her other True Love's ride.(Ariel)

Love her.  Love her.  Love her.

Christmas = Awesome

So, this was our very first Christmas at home.  Yes, we have been married 11 years, and yes this is the first year we have ever spend Christmas at our house.  It was a little weird at first, but super fun at the same time.  It was so great to see the kids open their gifts and get to play in their jammies all day.  We ate Mac and Cheese for dinner and just hung around all day.  It was perfect. 

We started the season with list making.

Then came gingerbread houses.

Jax and Daddy

Ella and Mommie

Then we headed to Logan's Candies to see how they make candy canes.

 

So yummy!

Ella thought so too!

Caught him again!



Our house in now filled with princesses and castles.  The world is fair again.

Loving it.

And yet again!  I love it!!



Santa brought this little house, too.  Huge hit.

Huge!
