Thumbelina

This is Jed's cousin's baby girl. Please pass the word along and let's see if we can get them help during this Christmas season.
If you're looking for a worthy cause this holiday season, please consider our Thumbelina . (that's a link if you can't see it)

My Crazy 4 year old!

Lliam turned 4 a couple of weeks ago! It is so much fun to watch him grow into a different person than Reid is! They are similar in many ways but oh so different and I love it!

We had a family come over for Sunday dinner to celebrate. They have 4 kids and the two youngest are boys and are the same age as Reid and Lliam, it was so wonderful to have instant friends!


This is hand sanitizer burning, it has become a tradition when we have birthdays. (What do you expect when there's a pyro in the family!)

Please don't look too closely at the cake! It was a quick attempt which failed horribly!


Lliam can be so goofy and crazy. I love his energy (needs it to keep up with his brother), imagination, and facial expressions. He is getting smarter and smarter and has such a good memory. He is my peacemaker!





He loves to smile and I love to see it (he also has a cute dimple on his left cheek!)


He absolutely adores his baby sister! He is my helper and I can count on him to sing to her (until he sings himself to sleep!) I am so excited to watch him grow and become a great big brother (just don't grow too fast, please).

Can I Breathe Yet?

Veteran's Day brought a 4 day weekend for Reid and my Mom (She's in school also). So she came down and we played hard! Unfortunately Jed did not have any time off. However, my mom did watch the kids Friday night while Jed and I went to a dance club and tried our hand at Salsa! It was so much fun and I wish I had more energy, but come 12:30AM we had to leave due to my imbalance!

Thursday my friends took us to some free places in San Diego...
We first went to the San Diego Temple. It was beautiful, but the grounds were not what I expected. I thought there would be more land, but there is hardly any around it. You can't walk all the way around it either. But nevertheless, it's a beautiful Temple and I can't wait to go inside it next time.






We then went to the Cabrillo National Monument and the Point Loma Light House




Thank goodness for Grandma! She held Adaire most of the time!


See the land in the background? That's Tijuana...where Uncle Sam is!



After stopping for dinner we headed over to the Mormon Battalion. The tour is really neat and the set up is awesome. There's a lot of interactive things to do and see.




On Friday we went to the OC Zoo in the Irvine Park, it was a very small zoo and only cost $2 to get in but still a lot of fun. There was a petting area where we were able to feed the goats, the boys loved it!







Some of the animals that were at the zoo




Alta and Michael are going home next week which meant that last weekend was our last one with them :( Saturday we went to Hunting Beach. We got there too late but still had some fun. Then we went back to their hotel, ate pizza, watched the Disneyland fireworks, then headed back home. It's been so much fun playing with Alta and will be hard to not see her next weekend.





Phew, I think I made it through the weekend...a little sleep deprived but going strong still! This week is a week to recover and prepare for next week...can't wait to see our Burton family! We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are able to spend lots of time with your family!

I find this handy...

Yeah...my husband mends his own clothes!

I find this amazing...

My brilliant husband swapping pieces from the broken XBOX to fix the broken computer (the 4 taller pieces are from the XBOX)

I find this disgusting...

This is my right leg when I am pregnant

I find this amusing...

There are only 6 months between these cousins!
