Andrew's First Birthday!!

I can't believe Andrew's first birthday is here! He's getting so big and we have just enjoyed him so much!!






Doesn't He have the dreamiest blue eyes? They sure make mom's heart go pitter patter with delight!

For breakfast I made a special treat , Spelt Smiley Faced Waffles with syrup, whipped cream and chocolate chips. YUM YUM!

On Sunday evening, we celebrated Andrew's birthday with my Uncle Kelly's. Andrew really enjoyed his chocolate cake!!! Didn't know what to think of blowing out candles though! And he loved all his new toys! It's so fun being with family!

Easter Memories

This was our first Easter here in Rocklin! On Saturday, March 22, our ward held an Easter Egg hunt and breakfast at the park just around the corner from our house.

Mommy and Meagan had fun helping Andrew find his eggs!

Jaden had lots of Fun hunting for his Eggs too! He was so excited because he found 10 eggs!

Shayla had lots of fun too!

Afterwards, Jaden and Shayla helped decorate the eggs for Easter. Easter Sunday was spent going to Church and then to Uncle Kelly's and Aunt Linda's house for a Yummy Easter Dinner.

The Wonderful World of Disney!

On February 18th, we packed our family in the mini-van and headed for our 1st ever family trip to DisneyLand. We stayed there from the 18th -22nd of February 2008. Luckily, Larry's work hadn't sent the minivan to the auction and we were able to take it. It had 2 dvd players and we were able to hook up the x-box and let Jaden play too. It made for a much easier journey!

We got in pretty late Monday night, but mananged to meet up with Wendy& Terry Gifford and they're family in time to watch the big firework display! I had bought each member of our family a Disney T'shirt and we wore them on Tuesday morning for a family picture in front of the Castle.

Jaden's favorite ride was Star Tours in Tommorow Land. He rode it over,and over again with Larry. He also loved watching the Jedi Training
and riding the Autotopia ride.





On Wednesday, we spent the day in California Adventure. Jaden had to stop by and check out the waterfall. He loves water falls.













Then we met up with the Gifford's and enjoyed a wonderfrul lunch. Meagan spent some time with Melanie going on various rides.





Meagan and I had fun spending the day together on Thursday, because Larry and Shayla were feeling sick. We had fun riding the Grizzly rapid raft ride together and got wet. Then we rode the new Indiana Jones ride. Afterwards we ran into Princess Jasmine and got her autograph.








Later we met up with Wendy and Melanie and had some fun Girl Time together. We rode Thunder Mountain, Sailed in the Pirates of the Carribean and of course Splash Mountain.

I got soaked on the Splash Mountain Ride. Luckily, my jacket protected the front of me. Meagan was wonderful and baby sat for us on Thursday Night and Larry and I came back and had our own date at DisneyLand. We did Soarin California, Space Mountain, Star Tours, Indiana Jones and Thuder Mountain. It was a blast.

On Friday, our last day (sniff sniff), Shayla and I ran and were able to get pictures with Mini Mouse and Donald Duck. Then we met up with Dad and the boys. We went to the Princess Fanatasy Faire where Shayla danced with the princesses. Then off to Toon Town we went and then Finally, Critter Land.

It was fun taking Andrew and Jaden on the Winnie the Pooh ride. Andrew loved watching all the flashing lights and songs inside the cave part. Afterwards, we visited the Pooh Corner Store. Daddy splurged and bought lots of goodies for us all.

Then it was time to say good-bye!!!!!!!!
