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.

It's been way to long

So i know that its been forever since i have blogged and its been driving me crazy, i feel like i dont have to scrapbook if i blog and since i havent been doing either i have been feeling really quilty. As soon as we got to Arizona our computer broke and we have not had one since now (thanks to Natalie and Brint) and so hopefully i can start blogging again. I dont have any pictures on the computer yet so i dont have any to post but i thought i would just write i quick note to update what we have been up to.
So Arizona is very very hot, we are finally getting some cool weather now but i thought that i was going to die there a couple of times this summer. I dont suggest being pregnant and going through a arizona summer for the first time. Things here have been good though, we have been adjusting and enjoying our time here.
Jeff is working pretty much non-stop, hes gone about 11 to 12 hours a day and he keeps very busy.
Abby has started pre-school and is taking dance and she has quite the busy schedule herself, which keeps me busy. she is loving every minute of it though. In school she has learned her pledge of leagence and it is great to hear her say it. when she gets to the part of "and to the republic" she says "and to the re chocolate" its great. She is getting so big and so smart and time has just flown by with her
Our newest addition is Cali, she was born on september 30 and is now 6 weeks old. she is great, its crazy how much you forget about a newborn so its taken me some time to freashen up on my skills. She is now just starting to smile when we look at her and she loves to be held, if she isnt sleeping she wants to be held. I will post some pictures of her soon.

So life is pretty great right now with my cute little family. I am glad to be back in the blogging world and hopefully i will get pictures up soon cause i know thats the best part about it.

moving

its crazy, i never thought i would be the one in my family to be moving but its true. We are moving to arizona in 2 weeks. Jeff has a great oppertunity for a job and we couldnt pass it up. its scary and exciting and i think will be a great thing for us. we have talked about wanting to move and try something new but now that its here its a little scary, but like i said exciting.

surprise 60th birthday party

my dad just turned 60 yesterday and my mom wanted to give him a surprise party and i must admit it turned out great. i think he really was surprised and that doesnt happen much to him. it was fun to see everyone there and talk. i cant believe he is 60 cause that also means that we are getting older too and im just not ready for that.

birthdays at pirate island

it is jakes and my dads birthday this week and natalie decided to just have the party at pirate island. it was really fun. the kids had a blast and almost the whole family was there which hasnt happened in a while so it was good to see everyone, and pirate island is a great place for birthdays.
