San Diego 2011

In February we took our first real trip just as a family.  We went to Legoland and the beach in San Diego.  The kids had a ton of fun seeing all of the fun things at Legoland.  







This was the kids favorite ride.  They could squirt people passing by, when they wouldn't expect it.  I think by the look on Cam's face he enjoyed is as well!

This pic is for the Hyers out east!!  We love and miss you!!

After this ride Jake said 'Woah, that made my tummy jump really high!'

Not competitive at all :)


This was the end of the day and both look a little tuckered out eh?

The next day we went to Sea Life Aquarium which is a part of Legoland.  Charlie would just run around screaming 'Fifies!! Fifies!!!'  Needless to say there weren't many people that stuck close to us.  



Charlie LOVED the Nemos! 



Later that day we went to the beach.  I have to say if this is all we did the entire trip the kids would have been plenty satisfied.  We will be making a trip just for the beach soon enough.  They played hard!  It was still a bit chilly but the surfers were out and Jake wanted to know why they could get in the water and he couldn't.  Trying to explain what a wet suit is for wasn't registering.  




He couldn't help it!  The water was freezing but he just inched his way in inch by inch.

5K


In January me and the kids went to St George to meet up with some of our favorite peeps.  I was running a half marathon the next weekend and decided to sign up my Dad, Mom, Grandpa and I for a 5K for a little addition to my training.  It was so much fun to run a race with family.  These three (in addition to my grandma of course) are some of my very favorite people to hangout with.  It never gets old!   

We (and when I say we I mean my grandpa) pushed Charlie along for the ride!  She was milking all of that attention.


Thanks for the good times guys!

Many Faces

Charlie Kate.  She has brought so much fun into our lives.  I never thought of our life before her as boring, but looking at what it is now I would say it has loads of moments that are anything but boring.


Serious (she must be in a intense conversation)

 Surprise!

Is this a cute enough face to get what I want?

I can read your mind.....

Sweet

Kisses

Fishy

Scary!

REALLY scary!

Christmas Catchup....


Oh man am I way behind!  Our computer crashed with a virus and by the time we had her running again I was so behind it was overwhelming.  But, for my goals to be better at our 'family history' I will take this head on........SO, here is our Christmas in bullet point.

Our Christmas consisted in ALOT of:

***Bathing with the cousins

(close your eyes Grandma) *** Riding very unsafely to the park down the street (I think we had like 11 people in a 7 passenger car)


*** Crazy face making


***Cookie decorating contests


*** Auntie time


***Santa Clause (nobody would sit on his lap but Uncle Benny)



***Swimming


***Traditional nativity display (Isn't Mill rockin the baby Jesus part?  I'm not sure what Char was, the leotard was all she would put on.)


*** Hugging!!


***Present opening


***Smiles from these four





***Game playing


***Temple lights



***Creative Sledding






Even though we didn't have a lot of time with our Dad during the Christmas break, we made our time count when he was around and made some pretty awesome memories.  Thanks family!!
