California Adventure...

 California Adventure was a ton of fun! This was our last day so we didn't stay as long but we felt like we did everything we wanted! 





We all had tons of churros! 



Probably my favorite pic of the whole trip! Lylah wanted to meet Minnie Mouse so bad! She fell asleep when I spotted her so I waited in line and woke her up to see her. She saw her shoes first and was SO excited! She loved her! 




Kids were zonked out before we even left the park...4 days of complete California fun will do that to you! 


It was an awesome vacation! Thanks Spencer!!

Beach Day 2...

It was a little colder at the beach this time around hence the jackets! That did not stop Preston from running into the waves and getting soaked though! 


Lylah loved to find seashells!


Water for sand castles


Lylah loved to also chase the birds...shes a funny girl! 



Ly also got SUPER grouchy. She had a long day at Disneyland the day before and didn't sleep that good. She was a non stop mess most of the day! 


Grandpa & Grandma bought kites. It was a perfect day for them too! 


Had to capture some of the grouchy"ness"!

Disneyland...

We finally made it to Disneyland! It was a little overcast and was perfect weather BUT it was BUSY! We were a little sad about it and Preston got a little impatient waiting in lines. But we did go with Aunt Cathy and she had a wheel chair so we were able to get into some fast lanes too! Prestons favorite ride was Splash Mountain! 


Preston wanted to buy his own souvenirs. He just thinks hes so big! 


Lylah was so excited to see Mickey!




We stood in line for about an hour just so we could meet Princesses. She was dying to meet Rapunzel but of course she wasn't there. Luckily Cinderella was! 






Aunt Cathy HATES pictures! But I was able to sneak a couple...Lylah really got close to her! I love that my kids got the opportunity to bond with her. They just love her! 






We had a great day! We aren't HUGE Disneyland fans but I'm sure we'll go every few years!

Beach Day 1...

On Monday we decided to hit the beach! We had originally planned to do Disneyland but looked at the weather and Monday was the warmest day so we decided to take advantage of that and go to the beach. I'm so glad we did because it was PERFECT! The kids were in heaven and to be honest I was too! My kids are at perfect beach ages! Preston loved to run in and out of the water but isn't quite brave enough to go to far ( which i love ). And Lylah was quite happy on the beach in the sand! It wasn't too hot nor too cold and just a bit breezy! 

Lylah loved blowing her own bubbles!  


Spencer and Preston running in the water! 




She's my beach beauty! 


Love my boys!



Spencer and Lylah buried Preston




Lylah really could have stayed there all day!

Easter 2014...

Easter morning we woke up and found baskets! Kids loved everything they got and were super excited. We decided to go to an earlier ward so that we could start our drive to California. So we got ready super quick and headed to Church! Lylah especially loved her new Easter dress and danced in the halls of Sacrament meeting to all the Church Hymns. I could hear whispering behind us of how cute she was haha. When we got home we got packed up and left! We met Aunt Cathy when we got into California and had Easter dinner with her! We had a great day! 




Cutest Easter Kids ever. I know I'm biased but for real...It doesn't get cuter then them!


So grateful for my Savior. I find myself thinking a lot of the sacrifices he made for me on this day. I'm so grateful for my blessings and my trials. I'm so grateful for this eternal family of mine. Nothing makes me more happy. I'm so thankful for the opportunity I have to be a wife and mother. I pray everyday that I'm doing a good job. I love them with all my heart! So grateful for the gospel. So thankful for the guidance it provides me in raising a family. I'm so thankful for the light I find in a dark world. I love my faith and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.
