Day #2- Seaworld

Day 2- Seaworld
 Saturday September 17, 2011 we went to Seaworld San Diego, now Seaworld is probably one of my favorite parks. I just love seeing all the animals and getting to feed and hold the different kinds! Anna was kind of cranky at Seaworld cause she was teething and didn't sleep very well the night before so it was kind of a rough day with her. But she did enjoy looking at all the animals and getting to spend the day with all the cousins

Well at Seaworld they have a ride called Atlantis, it has a couple different drops in it and it was Makenzie (my 5 year old niece) very first  roller coaster and she loved it.  Her face in our picture was priceless so Chad and Shelley did buy it. Also jeremy lost his hat on the coaster which was kind of funny cause we made fun of him the rest of the day for it. By the end of the day we had road Atlantis twice because Kenz wanted to ride it again!!

We also watched the dolphin show (which was a new one) and we didn't really like it. It was more about people dressed as birds rather then showing the dolphins, but when it did show the dolphins it was pretty cool.

Then of course the feeding of the dolphins I mean we have to feed the dolphins. Well we had to wait in line for about an hour and while in line Anna took her nap, which was super nice.

Then we got to feed the dolphins Anna was a bit afraid of them. She didn't want to touch them at all but Riley and I enjoyed feeding and petting them. Kenzie, Logan and Brandon enjoyed feeding and touching them though.

Then we took the little ones to the little elmos play land and that is where Anna got to ride her first ride which was Elmo's flying fish and she loved it very much.

Then off to the Shamu show it was a good show but we noticed that they didn't interact with the whales very much like they use too! But still an awesome show.

And of course we went through and saw all the other animals through out the park and it was super fun. By the end of the day Anna had really enjoyed it and was also very exhausted, so off to bed we went!!

Check back soon to hear about the rest of the trip!!

California Trip Day #1- Drive there

Well Friday September 16, we left at 8:00 a.m. to drive out to California. Everybody met at our house to load up the cars and top carriers we took our car which seats 6 and then my moms car which seats 7 and there were 13 of us so it worked out perfectly.

As we got going my moms top carrier kept rubbing up against there car so we stopped in Nephi and got some socks from Riley's parents to shove where it was rubbing and that made things all better. In my car we had us 3 then jeremy, jaclyn and brandon! The ride was really nice and quiet because everyone slept most of the way and we have a dvd player so we watched movies the whole way! Once we got to Vegas though I was driving and a car cut me off and swerved around a tire that was lying in the road and i didn't have a chance to see it so we hit it and ended up swerving all over the road and it didn't help that we had an extra 200lbs on top but don't worry we survived with out rolling or hurting anyone or hurting the car, it was a miracle!! :D we made it to Escondido safely around 7:00p.m. and everyone was tired and worn out and just wanted to sleep but it was an awesome hotel. We stayed at the Lawerence Welk hotel it was just a really awesome hotel!!

Birthday Baby..Toddler??

September 10, 2009 our sweet little Anna was born. She was 6 weeks early and only 4.8 lbs and 17 inches long but the healthiest little thing ever! She was so sweet and precious and the prettiest little baby girl you have ever seen. And last Saturday...

September 10, 2011 our little Baby Anna turned 2 which now means she is not our BABY Anna she is our Toddler Anna. She now weighs 23.5 lbs and is 33 inches tall!

Her Birthday was such a blast and a work in progress from the beginning of the year!! Riley and I have been buying presents since January for this little girls birthday and to start the birthday out Riley and I woke up at 7:00am to sneak 70 blown up balloons and 20 helium balloons into miss Annas room so she would have a surprise to wake up too!

Around 8:00am we could hear her over the monitor yelling BALLOON, BALLOON!! She was so happy and just couldn't get over all the balloons in her room!

Then Daddy made Anna some very special pancakes for her birthday

Yep you guessed it Mickey Mouse!!


Later that day Daddy took her on a date for her birthday (a tradition we are wanting to start) and he got her a very pretty necklace (another tradition we are wanting to start, getting her something very special).

Then it was party time!!!

Grandma Susan made Anna her birthday cake which was super cute and very good tasting and she had tons of friends come to her party!! And I made her pinata which NO BODY could break open. And she made a haul on presents (toys and clothes)
( i tried to get a picture with her and every one who came)

It was such a fun party and I cant wait till next years!!

Thanks everyone who came and support Anna!

I am on pinterest 24/7 it is so amazing and gives me so many ideas, im going to need to have like 12 houses to put everything in and have like a bizillion kids to take all the cute pictures and all the cute ideas for the kids and i have pinned so many cute quotes that I want to put up in my 12 houses!!

well during my last couple of weeks there has been some stuff going on!
First we painted our house from an ugly yellow and brown color to this amazing new look

Then I have been cricutting in up!! (thanks to the many ideas on pinterest)
I made this super cute word vinyl for Anna's room, and her birthday invites and decorations(which you will see in a later post)

Also I have been able to spend time with some of my good friends which has been nice to get out and hang with adults!

Anna has also been hitting those "terrible 2's" pretty hard lately, she has been telling me "no" and then when i ask her to do something she will only do it on her time and not when you ask her too! it is driving me CRAZY!! but i still love her so much, She has been super cute as well as crazy! We are getting her excited about going to DISNEYLAND! We will log onto the website and let her watch all of the short videos about the rides and things to do at Disneyland and she just gets super excited!

Plus she is amost 2.. can you believe it! she is such a little diva already, as we were ready to head over to church this last Sunday she had to have Minnie and Mickey in her purse on her arm with her sunglasses on and her blanket wrapped around her neck she looked like a million dollars!! Also she inherited dress ups from her favorite cousin (kenzie) and she just cant get enough of those dress ups!

Then on August 31 she starts dance class, we are so excited. Our life plan is starting to work, we are planning on paying for her dance classes and then she will get a scholarship for dance and then we wont have to pay for college. Great plan right??

Well Life has been pretty busy lately as you can see but don't worry more posts to come with all the fun things that are coming up!!

:D

dancer baby!!

Today I had an ultrasound to check things out and as we were leaving the OB Anna was super sad that she didn't get a bandaid cause normally when we go to the OB its to get my blood drawn and they give her a band aid like they give me one so she was so sad that she didn't get a band aid this time.

After that we went and bought diapers.. Amazing deal I got 210 huggies diapers for $45.00 did i mention I love couponing!!

In the afternoon the cousins came to play but didn't last long cause it was Anna's nap time and we put Logan down as well.

Then FHE we have started to do FHE with this couple in our ward that has a little girl about the same age as Anna and we went and had snacks and a lesson and then just talked the night away!!

Also today we signed Anna up for dance lessons. they start August 31, and she has an hour lesson once a week! So we had to buy dance clothes of course and finally found some for her that fit and were her size!!

Check it out

Sunday what can we say!!

This Sunday Riley let me sleep in till 11:30 which was super nice but I was suppose to go to a farewell for a friend of mine that started at a 11:00 so I was a little disappointed but the sleep was nice and I needed it!!
Then Church of course which was nice Anna did ok but what can you expect from a tired 2 year old, after church Rileys parents came up to visit with everyone which was nice Anna really enjoys that!

Then off to bed!
We have become obsessed with the Big Bang Theory lately so we are up till like midnight every night watching it, if you haven't watched you really need too!!

Amazingly long I love it when she lets me do stuff to her hair!!
