Yay for Disneyland :)

Well this past week we had lots of fun. We went to Disneyland and finally used our passes this year. We'll have to go a few more times to make it worth the purchase price. But I'm pretty sure we can handle going. We also had fun at the dentist's office. Yay for clean teeth! Now we just have to find an orthodontist for Erik. He'll have to have 3 of his front teeth moved. Ugh. I remember those awful days of braces. I know he's not going to like them. But the results are great. Well here's a few pictures from our adventures at Disneyland. We went into a store and the lady at the counter was admiring Elise. She asked how old Elise was and Jared told her 3 months. The lady asked if it was her first visit to Disneyland. Jared said yes and she gave us a little pin for her first visit. We also rode the new Toy Story Mania ride. It was a blast and I highly recommend going on it. It's worth the 45 minute wait :) And you get to wear 3-D glasses too!

Go Dodgers!

Well this week was a lot of fun. On Monday we went to the Science Center and saw the Body Worlds exhibit. I think the 2 coolest exhibits for me were the embryos and the huge giraffe! If you have the chance you should definitely go and see the exhibit. Then on Tuesday we had the Barnett kids over and we went to the OC Fair. It was fun too, but once again I forgot my camera. We didn't end up staying very late, but enjoyed lots of good food, includind deep friend pop tarts. YUMMY!! Then on Thursday night we went to the Dodger game with our ward/stake/all the Mormons in LA. It was fun and once again, gotta love the food (yay for Dodger dogs). Hmm.... seems like this whole post is about food. I must be hungry or something. Well here are some pics of us at the game. I luckily remembered my camera this time.

Me, Elise and Erik. It was a little cold. Next to us were the Bunces. Look at all those empty seats!

Zoey wanted to hang out with Jared. He let her wear his hat and she put her tiara on it. Too cute!

No Sunday Post

Ok, I feel bad for not posting yesterday. We didn't have much to talk about since I was late for posting last week about our trip to AZ. There's nothing much to write about. We went to the California Science Center today, but I forgot my camera at home (I should really just leave it in my purse). And hopefully tomorrow we can go to the OC Fair. Maybe then next Sunday I'll have some pics to finally post. If anyone wants some Amish Friendship bread starter I will have some in a few days. Let me know! It's so yummy :)

Mini vacation

Well we spent a long weekend in Arizona for the past few days (and I didn't update on Sunday). We went so that my friend Michelle could see Elise. We had a great time there and were able to do quite a bit. First we hung out in Michelle's pool and played. Next we went to the Hall of Fame for Firefighters in Mesa (I think). And lastly we went to a Ghost town and gold mine in Apache Junction. It was a lot of fun. We also saw lots of houses, most of which are quite affordable right now and are considering a move out to Queen Creek, depending on Jared's teaching opportunities. Anyway, here are some pics from the trip.

Of course I have to post a few pics of my beautiful baby getting kisses from Daddy!

I'm going to submit this one to the Beautiful Baby contest on KBIG 104.3. Isn't she just so cute!!!

We accidently came upon the General Patton Museum on the way to Arizona. Jared was thrilled to be there. We just missed it being open by about 45 mintues (thank goodness!)

Here's a picture of Mikey and Jared at the Firefighters Museum. Lots of fun!

Jared at the outhouse in the ghost town. He was enjoying this way too much!Cyndi, Mikey and Myles on the train around the ghost town.The beautiful Superstition Mountains in back of the ghost town. What a great shot!

Our week

This week was uneventful. We just stayed home and played most of the week and got ready for our yard sale which was yesterday. We didn't make a ton of money, but the main reason for having it was to get rid of all the junk. Now mind you, we still have junk, just a little bit less. The only pictures of Elise I have this week are of her bath and nap times. But they are still cute because she's so cute!

Here's Elise in the bath. Daddy helped :)

All cleaned up!

This is what nap time looks like. Oh the joys of sleep, something Jared and I miss but oh well.

Thanks to Brittney

Yay for Brittney! She taught me how to add music to my blog. If you guys don' t like it... too bad. I love it. Now I need to learn all the other cool things to do on here like she has on hers.

Resolution, even though it's no where near New Years

I decided over the weekend that I need to update at least once a week in here, seeing as many of you have asked to see pictures of Elise. So since she was born on a Sunday, it's my goal to get them out at least every Sunday. I finally have my camera back and am ready to roll. I know it's Monday, but here are a few pics we took today. She is smiling a lot more and I'm enjoying every mintue of it!

I know they aren't very creative, but hopefully in the coming weeks we'll have some fun ones to show off.


This is how she stares at the tv while I'm changing her diaper.



Tried to get a smile but she turned too fast.


Yay! A smile finally :)


And a little half smile.


It's like she wants to talk, but just can't get the words out yet.
