Disneyland

Disneyland!!! Yipee!!!

We arrived just in time to see a lot of the characters exiting the Fire Station on Main Street and to see Mickey parading down the street with a band.

Jack got to dance with Dale.

Jack, Rick, Sarah, Lyla and Doris in front of the castle. I forget whose castle it is. Cinderella?

Meeting Mickey

This was the one thing Sean had on his "must do" list. See Captain Eo.

Waiting in line for the Jungle Safari.

It is a good thing we went on such a slow day with lines as short as 5 minutes, otherwise the kids would of really been going nuts!

Lyla had to get out and walk around a lot. Everyone would stop and stare. It was so cute.

Henry and Lyla did sooo good in the stroller!! Some serious chillaxin'!

Most of the gang.

I can't wait to go back, and either can Jack!!

Unplanned Beach Trip

Our first trip to the beach was purely to appease the cries of two little boys, Jack and Andrew. They had talked of nothing but the beach since our arrival in Newport. So after a yummy lunch in Laguna we decided to make a quick stop. We rolled our pants up and hoped that no one (Jack and Andrew) would get soaked.

Lyla either knew she wasn't dressed appropriately

or just didn't want to get dirty because her stint in the sand lasted less than ten seconds. After daddy saved her from the sand she cleaned every single grain of sand from her feet.

Happy girl, safe in daddy's arms.

Henry loved the sand, he is one little boy who doesn't mind getting dirty.

Jack was in heaven, he seriously talked about the beach for weeks before we went!

Jack and Andrew were hesitant at first to get their toes wet. But all they needed was a little encouragement and they were hooked. A few minutes later while playing some sort of game involving throwing seaweed Andrew slipped and got soaked. A few minutes after that while Jack was "chasing" waves it was his turn to get wet when a wave that was a little larger than anticipated knocked him over. So we left Laguna Beach with two very wet toddlers, one very sandy baby boy, and one very clean baby girl.

Happy Valentines Day!!

My Cute Kids

I don't know if you know but my kids are best buds. They play together all day everyday and 95% of the time no one is crying. Jack isn't happy until Lyla wakes up in the morning and Lyla cries when Jack goes to preschool. They are two peas in a pod. So here are some cute pictures of my two cute kids. And yes I know they look a lot alike, and that they look like their dad :)

Playin'

Watching Despicable Me. Lyla will only watch movies if she can sit by Jack.

Lyla's favorite place in the whole house is Jack's room and her favorite place in Jack's room is his bed. She was so excited when she figured out how to get up there herself. Although Jack was always willing to give her boost, he loves to play with her on his bed.

I bought these little snack things for Lyla but Jack loves them too. I don't think we can leave the house without them!!

A Train Ride...

...it's kind of becoming a tradition to only ride the train into SLC during the winter. One of these days we will do it when it is nice and warm outside and I don't have to carry millions of pounds of winter wear!! But we still managed to have a grand adventure!!

Megan, Justin and Henry

Andrew, Rick, Doris and Jack

We rode the train into the city to go to the Children's Museum, which is fast becoming one of Jacks most favorite things to do!!

Lyla and Henry chillin in the baby corner, safe and sound from the complete chaos that was everywhere else!

Jack collecting some groceries, he is looking pretty angry in this picture, I wonder if someone stole his can of fruit or something!

Andrew must be telling a story...

Playing in the water is always the bestest!!!

Although it was a very cold and rainy day we had a lot of fun, thanks Martin's!!!!

Sledding with the Millers

Me attempting go down the hill with Jack, I am still laughing!

Branson got pulled around in his cute little sled

Jack and Rylee debating whose turn it is to take the tube

RD and Branson taking a turn

Sean was the best of all, he could take both kids AND keep them upright and safe. Go Dad!!

Christmas

Our funniest moment this Christmas was when we tried to wake Jack up to open presents. First Sean sat downstairs and rang our sleigh bell for about ten minutes, nothing. Then he went upstairs where Jack promptly told him to stop talking about presents and turned over and went back to sleep. So I went and Jack said he would come as long as I would carry him. As soon as he saw the presents he was gone...

Before

Ten minutes later!

Christmas morning at the Godfrey's

Christmas at the Martin's - Unfortunately we didn't take many pictures, mostly just did video here, but we don't love you guys any less!!

Our little Christmas Elf

It was a great Christmas and I was completely exhausted at the end of the day! Kids really do make Christmas so much more fun!!
