Good Morning

I got a lot done this morning. Starting with this:

And then this:

I like when the weather is slightly overcast and chilly.

Grandma Shirley

This evening our family got to do a temple baptism for our Grandma Shirley, who passed away last year. The temple worker on the phone cried, and said that Grandma Shirley had been waiting there all day for us to come.

Afterwards, we ate at Claim Jumper.
I taught Katelyn how to play checkers,


while Zach pretended to be Coraline.

My TEACUP Runneth Over (with excitement)

Girls Only

Kate and I left Zach with grandma for a Girls Only day at Disneyland.
It was SO MUCH FUN!!

Making crazy faces on Main Street:






The "yellow" one was flirting with all the little girls. Kind of weird.


We saw Mr. Frederickson. I swear.

Girly Toes

Kate's First Mani/Pedi

May I present...

The most excited girl on the planet AND...

The most bored brother on earth!

Corona Del Mar

I LOVE this picture. Why?...Crunch 'n Munch.

This is me, tired, and glad to be headed home.

The End

Jungle Explorers

Thanks to a child's imagination, this little area with a single tree and a few scraggly bushes was transformed into a jungle adventure. They walked around...and around...and around. Fun times!

Mom Jeans

Today I threw on an old pair of jeans. They were my J. Crew boyfriend cut. They were comfy. When Adam came home for lunch, the first thing he said to me was "Cool mom jeans..." That didn't feel good.

So...

Please excuse me while I go squeeze back into my low rise, boot cuts Express jeans.

:(

Hodge Podge

We had left over cookie dough from the Ponyo party, so today we made more sugar cookies. Here's a little game for you: How many holidays are represented in this cookie sheet?

Ponyo Party (with cookies)

(please excuse my cell phone pics)

Today we hosted an all day Ponyo party with the cousins. (Have you seen "Ponyo"? We highly recommend it!) Then Mickey sugar cookies. I've been itching to make these ever since I got my Mickey cookie cutter. Thank you World of Disney!

For all the moms...

So, my cousin's AWESOME little boy, who's about 8 yrs old, left her a note this morning. I thought it was too cute not to share, so here it is:

I love you so much mom!!!!! I mean I littlery love you so supery much!!! Love you too much...even more than my stuff!!!


Even more than his stuff!? That's big! I LOVE it!!!

P.S. My cousin is AMAZING! I love her more than "stuff" too!

Monorail

We got to ride in the front of the monorail today. What a treat!

A New Look

Dear Mr. Potato Head

Thanks for letting us borrow your mouths this afternoon.

Love,

Zach, Dana and Katelyn
