Our Trip to California....beware there will be lots of pictures

So for our Anniversary we decided to go to California, yes we are celebrating it like 6 months late but going in September worked better with Chad's work schedule. We flew out the morning of Saturday, Sept 18th. After arriving in LA and checking into our hotel we headed to Disneyland. Our hotel was only a 10 minute walk to the parking tram so we were in a great location. We spent the day in Disneyland Saturday and Sunday.

On Tuesday we went down to Hollywood Blvd. and walked the stars of fame, so yes more walking for my feet. It was fun seeing all the stars especially ones like Kermit the Frog or Donald Duck. While there we Ate at the Hard Rock, another tradition we have when going on vacation.



 I was so tired of walking!

After Walking around Hollywood, we headed to Venice Beach. It was so windy and getting cold. We walked along the beach for a little while. While walking we saw a big dead jellyfish. After the beach we headed back to the hotel. I was exhausted!


On Tuesday we headed back to Disneyland. There was alot less people there and the lines weren't long at all. Here is a few pictures from that day!

On Wednesday, my feet needed another break, we went thru a session at the Newport Beach Temple. It was a smaller temple but very pretty. Chad and I really enjoyed it and it brought back lots of memories of our wedding day. We were asked to be the witness couple, which was a great experience.

 

Later that night we went to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. It was a fun eating experience and the food was pretty good.

To Be Continued.....

August 2010

So the month of August was just as boring and uneventful as to other months! My best friend, Rachel and her 3 kids from Lewiston, ID (my hometown) came for a few days during the middle of August. One night we took Mari, Adam, Rachel and her kids to the Legacy Center in Lehi. The kids had alot of fun. Mari has mastered floating on her back and well Adam he is getting there. He still gets very nervous and freaks out when you let go of him but he is getting better. Here are a few pictures from that night.
 This is Alara... She is a crazy Girl!

 Nevaeh going down the slide! Those kids had a blast....

 Chad and I playing with the kids. As you can see Chad is helping Adam float, and Mari is off to the side floating.

Also while Rachel we here we all went camping for the weekend. It was so stinkin' hot and I about died. All the kids had fun playing and getting dirty though.

 Moriah and Rachel, She was playing us all a song.

 Alara and Nevaeh roasting Marshmellows!

That pretty much sums up and August and our summer for the most part. Sorry we are so boring!

July 2010

Well besides being sick this month cause of the pregnancy and a couple trips to the ER we didn't do much.

We ended up going to the Ogden Demolition Derby for the Fourth of July. It was alot of fun. Chad and I have a yearly tradition of going to a Derby for the Fourth of July. it is great entertainment and they always have a great Firework show afterwards. Our favorite part of the Derby is when the trucks go at it. Here are a few pictures from our adventure that day!

Chad and I enjoying ourselves!

These car were stuck together but the blue car was still going just dragging him along!



We were able to fit in a camping trip up at Jordanelle State Park. We went the 16th thru the 18th. It was so hot but alot of fun. I think my favorite part was on Saturday when we decided to go to Park City and do alittle shooping since we were only like 10 minutes away. Other then that we just sat at the beach with our feet in the lake and watched the people boating. It was nice to get away and spend the weekend together and relax!

Chad is enjoying opening the milk way to much! Man I love that guy!

Not really sure why I look like I am scared, if you notice I have my wedding ring on my necklace, my fingers were getting to big couse of the heat!

June 2010

 So I think since it has been so long and I really just need to catch up I will post by the month. Towards the Middle of June my Sister Monica came to visit for a few days. It was along drive for her since she live in Texas. I don't know how she did it but am glad she made it safe and that we were able to have a nice visit. I didn't get any pictures but we did have a great time. I took her 4 kids swimming one of the days and the other days we just hung out and played. After Monica left, my sister Sara and her 4 kids flew in from Nashville. It was so great to see them as well. We went swimming, minature golfing and took the kids to there first Derby.
