Spring 2011

This April for my 30th Birthday was one of the greatest birthdays I have ever had. It began with a birthday CD from my wonderful friends that led me on a scavenger hunt around the whole city of Surprise and ended with all of my friends and family. It was so awesome. Then Wayne surprised me and took me to San Diego for the weekend and a totally unforgettable time at Disneyland, just the two of us. Then when I got home my entire family had decorated the whole outside of my house with 30's all over and filled my home with balloons and candy bars, it just couldn't get any better then that. I will never ever forget this birthday.

Easter at Aunt Tonya's is always so much fun for our family, it's like her house was specially made for hunting Easter Eggs. Here are some of our fun memories.

Chase was so excited to find his eggs.

Landon and Ella getting ready for the race.

He's a Big Boy!

He's a Big Boy!

Well it finally happened, Chase turned 3 on March 11 and I have been prepping him for a while now that when we turn 3, you'll be a big boy and no more binky's at night time. I think I was dreading this more than him, I just didn't want go through the crying, sad tears that come with the absence of the night time comfort of this small, little thing. Ughh. But I knew the time had come. So we took him to Build a Bear where he picked out his new bear stuffed him and the time came. "Chase are you ready to put the binky in." and he responded "Umm No" I then said, either you do it or I do and he put it in, we said our goodbyes and he was all sewed up, fluffed up and dressed up. I asked him what we should name him and he said, "Binky Bear" He has slept great, no crying. This worked really great for him. I am so relieved.

Happy Anniversary!

Let me publicly express my love an appreciation for the greatest 9 years any man could ever hope for! Everyday I have to pinch myself when I realize I get to come home to you.

Thank you for the way you constantly serve our family. Even more importantly, thank you for being such a righteous example to me. Thank you for keeping your wonderful sense of humor and laughing with me every day. Thank you for your patience. I hope you know how much I love and adore you and look forward to an eternity with the most beautiful lady on the planet.

I love you, I love you, I love you! 9 years and a ga-zillion more to come!!!

Love,

Wayne

Disney Cruise2011 Woo Hoo!!!

This trip was an absolute blast. From the endless amount of ice cream, leaving my entire makeup bag at home (ahhhh), Ella leaving her backpack in a taxi, Landon bustin a move, extremely gassy people and endless amounts of laughter. We had the best week ever. Here's a few thousand pictures to share!

The Beach was sooo warm and cozy!

Ella in her totally cute dress that was totally left in the taxi that we never saw again.

This Jack Sparrow was awesome, we had no idea it was real til he moved. Way cool.

This cute bird just perched on his shoulder and was hanging out.

Landon and Ella before the dune buggies, I wish I would have got an after picture, Ella's face was just black.

Landon feeding a cute spider monkey. You can see how filthy we were from the dune buggies. It was super fun.

Me and Leah on our way to the beach.

Wayne and Ella on the Jet ski. Water was a little rough for the kids.

So cute in her life jacket.

Studly little man.

Hail Hail the gangs all here.

Here we are with our awesome waiters. They were so entertaining, with their character impressions, origami and magic tricks. It was truly a magical vacation!

Happy 7th Birthday

Landon turned 7 on October 29. To me he is just the biggest stud in the world.
He is so funny and smart and loves to play around with anyone who wants to have fun with him. I just enjoy being with him each second I can get. Anyway enough of my mushy mom stuff. This year Landon out grew his bike so he finally got a big bike for his long legs and has been outside every day practicing and crashing trying to adjust to bigger tires. Happy Birthday Bud!
