Bugs first bike ride!!!!

Davi trumped my ride card Tuesday and after he did I was so glad for 3 reasons:

1st- The wind was insane! I was glad I wasn't trying to ride up our hill in that!

2nd- He discovered how crappy the Jordan River trail is so my biking girls and I won't be trying to ride that to Thanksgiving Points Tulip Festival for some or their birthdays!

3rd- I got to roller skate with one kiddo happily in the stroller and the other one out for her first bike ride!

Good Call Davi Thanks!

Just after I stopped shooting she went down a little hill just giggling! I'm so glad I get to be her mommy! I love this little girl so much!!!!

DISNEYLAND!!!!

Finally our Disneyland post!

The favorite ride of the day... the boat that goes like this (make finger glasses around your eyes and fishy lips) The submarine from finding nemo? Yea that one! Let's go back and do that one again tomorrow!

Here we are on the riverboat or as Xadi calls it princess Tianna's boat.

Xadi with Ariel!

With Belle

And Minnie of course!

A ride on the carousel!

Waiting in line for the Toy Story ride...

Still waiting...

Trying to keep the kids occupied...

75 minutes later... So not worth it at this age!

The bug driving a bug!

Long day! Back to California adventure for World of Color! So worth it!!!

Spring!!!

In the future when he asks do I tell him he is wearing his sisters old bottoms or do I try to convince him that grape smugglers were cool?
Xadi was so sure it was warm enough for swimming!

Day 3 Huntington Beach And Linzy

On day three and four we thought we'd go to disneyland but on further contemplation we decided that just one disney day would be enough for us. I think we would have done more if charlie wasn't such a goer! Instead we thought we'd have another chill day! We loved the beach so much and just couldn't foresee only going once!

This time Davi was throwing cheetos around Charlie to see how close the seagulls would get to him-to say Charlie wanted to hold one of those birds was an understatement.

Charlie and I walked way down the beach, He LOVED the freedom to just go!

Never doubt my packing abilities- I packed a kite just in case... I love these kind of kites I had one when I was little- it's really easy to fly! Xadi Loved flying a kite all by her self! She didn't want to get in the water though- I bit cool and windy for that!

After a swim at the hotel we went to visit Linzy one of my best friends from High School at work. She was on her lunch break so we rode the carousel. I really regret that I didn't get a picture of us together. She has been feeling sick and had to have a MRI last week. I really hope everything is alright.

We use to always tease her if she complained of anything that she was probably dying so just quit bothering us about it! My senior year I was going in for surgery and was a little nervous about it, so Her and Jenny kidnapped me and spent the afternoon pushing me off cliffs! Just the little one at Liberty Park! Their theory was if I'd been kidnapped and pushed off cliffs then surgery would be a cake walk! I guess I should have kidnapped her while I was down there!

I just have this old school picture of us- Enjoy! Love you KEARBY!! YOU'RE Not Dying on me! I really hope you are laughing at me! MEOW!!!

Trip Day 1 & 2

We left on Sunday and just drove to Vegas. Before we had kids we loved to go to Vegas for quick shopping trips or on our way to California. It wasn't as much fun with them- I think probably you just want to shelter and protect them so much from the world while they are young and you can! Things that I thought would be awesome for them just let me down! We went to see the pirates at Treasure Island- But instead of being action filled and comical like I remember it turned in to a burlesque show! So we just went back to our hotel room went to bed so we could finish our drive the next day.

We got to Cali about 3 checked into our hotel and decided to hit the beach! It was awesome! The water was a bit nippy but that didn't stop Xadi and I from enjoying it! We really need to take our kids to a warn ocean! They are going to think all oceans are FREEZING! After this trip and Oregon last summer. I was shocked that Xadi wanted to get in! Such my girl!

Charlie LOVED the sand so much that he tried to eat it or kiss it! Silly boy!

Still a total stud!

My mantra for Charlie is like that line from Forest Gump- Wherever I was goin' I was RUNNIN'!!!!

This is one of my Favorite pictures, I don't think Davi likes it very much.

Love my boys!

My girl! There is just something so simple and sweet about a little child playing in the sand. I think next time i just want to rent a house on the beach and chill all week! Those were my favorite days!

Newport... One of my favorite places on earth! If I was a millionaire I would so have a beach house!

Funny thought

(2nd generation! Mine and My Cousins kids)

My friend posted a thing on facebook about cousins. It got me thinking about my wonderful cousins I'm closer to them than my siblings. I love them! From that this memory popped into my head I made a funny connection and thought I'd share. When we were little we were playing outside at our grandma's being mean excluding the 2 younger boys so they went and tattled and my aunt came out and said to Jer honey you have to be nice to your younger brother. After she went back in we were teasing him about being called honey so we started calling each other things like peanut butter jelly and jam we thought this was so funny at the time. So fast forward to now- this is what I thought was funny- what do I call my kiddo's? Xadi has morphed from pea to sweet pea to peanut to peanut butter to sweet peanut butter pie! Charlie started out as butter ball after 2 thanksgivings ago when he was super chub before he started crawling so after he started to slim I just called him butter and now he is butterscotch pudding pie. Xadi gets after me if I don't say the whole thing. If you are wondering why such long nicknames I use them why I'm feeling frustrated with them for just being kids- you know when it's taking ten minutes to get boots and coats on! I say it so I remember how sweet they are and they are learning!

Celeste's Party

Celeste had the most awesome christmas/ Mark's birthday party on Saturday night! It was our 2nd annual Murder Mystery dinner! So Fun!

We were Britney and K-fed! When I looked her up online to figure out a costume I discovered she doesn't wear clothes so how is a nice mormon girl going to dress like her? this is what I came up with. Pretty clever I think!
