nothing better than these girls

I love these girls so much. I thought it would be hard to have a family of girls and yes at times it really is but i wouldnt trade it for the world. I just think that there is nothing better than these girls!

Thanksgiving in Vegas

This year for Thanksgiving we met my sister Natalie and her family in vegas because its half way from both of our houses. We had a lot of fun but it doesnt feel like Thanksgiving when you eat at a super 8 motel, but its the people that we are with that make it worth it. Abby loved it, she loved seeing all the dressed up people and the m&m store and she really liked the water show. We also went to circus circus and played a bunch of games and she loved winning stuffed animals. We had a lot of fun and it was well worth the drive.

We are moving to Alaska! (and other fun pictures)

Yes we are moving to alaska, its crazy i know but jeff has another great job oppertunity and we cant pass it up. So we are moving to the complete opposite of where we live now. We arent moving until feb or march so we have a couple of months to get ready, but jeff already started the job there and he just works from home and will travel there a couple of times before we get there. Im really nervous and scared but so excited, its going to be great for our family.

here are some random pictures and i didnt know the one with minnie got in there till they were done uploading so we just get another one in there.

Cali's birthday

Cali was born on September 30th and weighed 7 pounds and was 19 inches. We had jeffs mom come into town and stay with abby while we were at the hospital, we went in at 5:30 am to get everything started for the c-section and they ended up having some emergency stuff and we got bumped so we had to wait an extra hour and a half but it was okay i was really nervous, and to pass time jeff made me laugh with all his poses ( hes such a great guy ) finally it was our turn and they took us into the delivery room and gave me my epidural and jeff had to wait in another room, well my epidural didnt work and i could still feel everything so they ended up having to put me completely out and jeff couldnt watch either, they went and got him to cut the cord after they got her out and then he could be with her after that until i woke back up. So it didnt got quite like i had planned it or wanted it, but at least we got our happy healthy girl here.

Cali has been such a great baby from the start, we just love her so much and are so excited to have another cute girl in our family.

Abby's 3rd birthday

Back in September Abby turned three and we had so much fun. My awesome cousin Sarah lives here in Arizona with us and i dont know what i would do without her, but she came to our house for Abbys birthday and we went to Peter Pipper Pizza and Abby got to play games and get prizes and then we came home and she opened gifts and had cake and ice cream. She is absolutely in love with the color yellow. She loves it because she loves the princess Bell but the funny thing is she wont watch beuty and the beast because it scares her but she still loves Bell. So this year she just wanted a yellow birthday, yellow balloons, yellow cake, yellow presents. She is so funny but she got her yellow birthday and we had a blast. She got that hat at preschool that day and she wanted to wear it all day. I cant believe that i have a three year old and that she is so good. I love her so much and she means the world to Jeff and i.

Abbys first trip to disneyland

Earlier this year we participated in the disneys give a day get a day program and got free tickets to disneyland so back in august we took abby for the first time and it was the best day of her life i think. It was so fun to see her there, she absolutely loves minnie and calls her the big big minnie and we walked around all day with her yelling big big minnie where are you. We ended up waiting in line for an hour and a half for abby to meet her and abby didnt complain once she was so excited and the picture up there is her seeing her finally after waiting all day it was priceless. I was eight months pregnant when we went so it was kind of a long day with jeff and abby going on all the rides but i wouldnt give that day up for anything. At night for the parade abby danced and sang along with all the characters and thought it was great, after being there from open to almost close abby fell asleep before we even left the grounds. I love disneyland and the fun that it brings to little kids, i think its even better than when i was a kid myself to see abby experience a lot of these things. it was a great day.

Pictures Finally

these are some of my favorites, i have a million pictures that i need to post since the last time i posted some but i will just have to pick and choose some for now. these ones of cali were taken after she was first born (besides the bath one) i cant believe she is almost three months old now. and this one of abby is at cali's baby blessing and i just loved it so i had to put it in.
