and everything else

this is the last set of pictures i promise...

if only you could see how many pictures we actually took. this last set is just of the other things that we did while in cali. most of these are taken at the resort that we stayed at. my dad and his brothers have time shares at the lawrence welk resort. we are so happy that our parents invited us marrieds to tag along with them all week. we had a great time and we're so lucky to have had perfect weather.. 80-85 all week long. we sure didnt want to come back. we went swimming, played water and sand volleyball, went golfing, layed out, played tennis... the kinds of things that make a completely fabulous week. anyways, it was great. thanks mom and dad, we love you!!!

wednesday-the beach

on wednesday we spent the day at the beach and in down-town san diego. syd, rach, and avery were the only ones really prepared for the beach but we all had a ball. little miss avery absolutely loved every minute of the beach. she crawled around the sand forever tasting anything her little hands could get ahold of. she makes a super cute beach bum if you ask me.

tuesday- DISNEYLAND

disneyland was absolutley wonderful...naturally. wish i had all the other pictures from the other cameras but this will do. we had a great time. i dont think the boys were as mentally prepared as the girls. we were totally ready for long lines and had super fun regardless, they on the otherhand got a little worn out and bored after a long day but we all had a blast. ave did pretty good for the most part. she really didnt have a clue what was going on and obviously didnt get to do too much. it worked out perfectly though cause trae and i still got to ride all the intense fun rides thanks to my pregnant sister meagan who didnt ride very many rides and watched ave for us. thank you. thank you. thank you. meag. ave loved having two moms for a whole week... not gonna lie, i enjoyed it too.

busy, sick and ready for a vacation

yeah! spring break is finally here and it came just in time. we've all been sick over the past week but we are feeling much better for the most part and are so ready for a sunny california vacation. we're super excited to spend the week with my lovely family. i'm sure the boys, and kell, will go golfing at least once or twice everyday, so the rest of us girls will have such a relaxing time. i'm in desperate need of quality family time since we're moving after graduation in may.. (more on that later).

all of the kids in my family got this for my mom for an early mothers day gift so she could enjoy the road trip a little more. i had never heard of them until about 2 weeks ago and now i am totally loving the amazon kindles. it is officially on my wish list, along with a hundred other things.

we really haven't been up to tons lately except for the past few days i have been super busy making a handful of headbands for my little sisters dance team for dance competition gifts. dont ask me how i got roped into doing this, being that i've never made these kinds of headbands before, but i sure enjoyed it and will soon be making myself one in every color. i snapped a picture right after i finished them and the only thing i could find to display them was my rod iron decor.

well, this post is completly random and i have been totally lame at taking pictures lately but i promise we have a life...a happy, busy, far-from-perfect but wonderful life.

be back next week!!

little beaver

this is what avery's crib now looks like. i'm not super happy about it cause she has a really nice crib, and don't quite know how to get her to stop eating it. i sure hope wood is a good source of fiber or something because she's been getting her share of it lately.

i'll go pick her up from her naps and she'll hand me a piece of wood that she's been chewing on. she thinks she's cute but i think she is a little stinker....(but a cute stinker).
