Ahhhhh....

I just have to say, life is good. I wake up everyday and think to myself how lucky I am to be where I am right now in life, surrounded by the BEST FAMILY in the world. With 3 new babies on the way, my AWESOME little, but BIG brother graduating tomorrow, my fun sister and her kids coming to play for 2 weeks in June, my amazing mom and dad who love and support their kids always. PLUS on top of it all, the most wonderful husband and kids mixed in. I am blessed.
I hate to brag, but my family is some of the
best,
most honest,
funnest,
funniest,
honorable,
always bring you up when you are down,
always willing to help out on a moments notice people.
I feel fortunate every single day that they are part of my life.
We are closer then ever.
In case you didn't know already, I love you all, and KNOW how incredible you all are!!!

Our week in California

We spent last week in California. It was such a fun week! This is the start of our week and each day is its own post. So come along and see the fun!

Trying to catch Harry face the squirrel

This is at my sisters house in Hollywood. I know you would think it was somewhere out yonder, but right smack in the middle of the city. The squirrel named Harry face, has become very unafraid of people and my niece actually fed him out of her hand. So what do the kids do, take advantage, try to catch him, and make him very afraid of people. Oh and they actually almost did catch him, only his tail was out but that was enough for him to get out and run screaming!! We had such a fun week in California! Cant wait for next year!

Tuesday Santa Monica Pier

Charlie being crazy

Did you know you can have your name engraved on a piece of rice for 6.00 at the pier?? I guess you can TRY to sell anything there!

Wednesday DISNEYLAND!!!

Turkey leg. I was going to get one of these even if it cost 10.00. It was 8.50. Well worth it!

Peter Pan Austin didn't want to go on this....thus the look on his face. I did, thus the look on my face.

You will here the word perfect alot in these post, because this trip was perfect. Disneyland, perfect. We got on all the rides we wanted, the longest wait was 20min and that was for Peter Pan because they stopped loading for 10 min. The weather....perfect. I want to go back like right now. It is really the Happiest place on earth!

Thursay swimming at the pool and Taylor Swift

At the deep end of the pool

Look I can hold my breath!

This was a fun and relaxing day. We haven't been able to sit by a pool for oh, well lets see....the last 8 MONTHS! That night we got to go see Taylor Swift live (sold out show) at the Staples Center thanks to my awesome brother in law. It was such a fun night, she really puts on a good show! I forgot my camera though, so no pictures.

Friday Laguna Beach

Oh my.....Isnt she just the Cherry on top? Cant get enough of that swimsuite!

This little fella joined our family in DisneyLand. Talk about having a monkey on your back!

Laguna Beach....ahhhhhhh......This is only the BEST place ever! We love this little piece of heaven.

Easter

Easter couldn't have been more perfect this year. What a fun and enjoyable day. We colored Easter eggs the night before, then went to Grandma Burr's for a Easter dinner and an Easter egg hunt. Oh and of coarse the Easter Bunny paid us a visit and left a ton of candy that I still haven't stopped eating.....what was that crazy bunny thinking??

LILY PIES PARTY

Austin being oh so helpful, and opening all of her gifts for her. How nice.

The Mullet clip.

This is her cake to destroy. It was only tasted. Apparently she doesn't like to get her hands dirty.

sneaking a taste

Her walk-a-long lion. Thanks Grandma!



Her cake. Didn't quite turn out how I had imagined. Oh well, Austin added the blue flower.

What a fun day we had celebrating our sweet little girls first birthday.

You know, there is something extra special about a first birthday.

Lots of fresh memories of the actual birth, and the indescribable wonderful and spiritual experience that is, plus remembering how teeny tiny she was only 12 short months ago.

It is amazing to look at her, and her spunky little attitude and think she has only been here for 1 year.

What a fun and funny little girl she is!!!

I thank all of you who came to celebrate Lily's special day with us!!!
