Penny's Little Easter Party!

Penny sure has loved going to her little Pre-School class every Monday! She loves her teacher Miss Alex!! She is so wonderful with the kids! Every month she has something so fun planned for the kids and this month was their Easter Party!! Us parents got to hide the eggs while our kids were in class. Then once class was half was over she lined them up and out they ran to find the eggs!! Penny had a blast!! She really knew how to do it this year! haha! and she was moving fast getting those eggs!! Then they all went back into class for the rest of the party! They ate and danced until class was over!! So much fun for me too!! Love watching how excited Penny gets!! She's the best! Happy Easter!

Going to the Horse Races!

This was a new adventure for us for sure and we Loved it!! On the way home from Disneyland Chad's step brother was going to take his family to the horse races down in Santa Anita! So of course we had to go to!! We can't miss out in any new fun!! It was so Exciting!! We got to walk right down along the fence where the Horses would race by!! The whole crowd would be yelling and screaming as the Horse would race by!! Chad really got into the excitement of it all with his betting!! He would put a couple of dollars down on a few Horses! At first he was off to a loosing streak but he got the hang of it and he ended up coming out on top! The last race we watched was a Big one! The horse that one will be racing in the Kentucky Derby! Chad made a great bet and we walked away with $56!!! So exciting!! We really had such a fun time! Such a fun experience! We can't wait to go back! and you better believe I will be wearing the biggest Hat I can find!!! Love it!

Our Annual Disneyland Reunion!!!

Thanks to Jeff and Vicki (Chad's dad and step-mom) we were able to go to Disneyland for our Family reunion again! We had a few new faces...the sweet babies that weren't there last year and we had some faces that couldn't come and they were very missed!! But life doesn't get any better than when your at the Happiest place on Earth with your Family!! We had a Blast!!! Penny especially! The older she gets the more she understands the excitement of it all!! I love it!! This year my honz made us all matching t-shirts for both days! The cutest part was that even the babies had their little onesies matching us!! Great job honz! They were a hit and they look fabulous in the pics!!!

The first day we went to Disneyland!!! We wore our Red shirts that Chad made for us!  It wasn't as packed as I thought is was going to be! We even walked on every ride!!! No waiting in any lines for us!!  and That's the way to do it!!!

Now of course my little Penny is obsessed with the Princesses and Ariel was the only Princess she got to see, talk to, sing to and hug!!! and yes you just read "sing to".....after Ariel signed her character book Ariel asked her if she any of her songs and of course Penny did! She started to get a little shy but that didn't stop her before you know it both Penny and Ariel are just a singing "Part of your World!" It was awesome!! It was definitely a proud moment for me!!! Love my little Singer!!! The only other time she got to see the Princesses was in the Parade and she was freaking out in excitement!!! She was dieing to see Anna and Elsa from Frozen but the line to see them was 4hrs!! What the heck!!! and that was not even guaranteeing that you got to see them! If it went over their time then you waited for nothing!  So we just couldn't stand there for that long to risk it!!! You couldn't even buy anything  Frozen in the gift shops either...all sold out!!!! Dang!! They are just way to popular!!!

More pics from Disneyland day!

Got to LOVE that little Cashy!! This was his 1st time to Disneyland!!! He was a dream!! He pretty much stayed in his stroller both days so good!! Ate there....napped there!! He was just a joy!! Such a low maintenance baby!!! He is just so Happy all the time!!! So smiley! Love him!!!

These pics lead into our next day! We wore our Blue shirts that Chad made! We spent the whole day over at California Adventure!! This park is so much fun!!! Definitely not as busy and we were still walking on every ride! Didn't wait in one line!! Not even Cars!!! We were loving life!

Just love all my little nieces and nephews!! For as many kids that we have all together both days they were all so good!! It was awesome!! Penny got to ride her 1st Big fast roller coaster over in Disneyland the day before! She was having a blast getting on the rides this year!! I put her in her Cowgirl boots to give her an extra inch and it worked!! So that was exciting for her and us!! She still would get a little scared and wouldn't go on the Tower of Terror but I don't even go on that!! haha. Next year will be even that much better!

More fun pics from California Adventure day!

We had a Blast at the Mad Tea Party!! Live band! and  Penny was our Live Show! She Loves to Dance and she was rocking it out! She is one hyped little girl! haha

It's always so crazy for Chad and I to get out of town during the week because of work but once we get there we have the Best time!! Such fun memories and besties were made! Thank you Jeff and Vicki for the wonderful time! These big family trips are so fun! Thanks for the memories! Can't wait until next year!!!! Don't go changing anything about it!!! haha!

Our Little Lucky Charms!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! We had some fun taking pics in their GREEN!!! Penny is just my little posing machine!! Her wild sassy personality cracks us up!!! Penny made sure that everyone one she saw was wearing GREEN or she was going to pinch them!! She was cracking me up all day!! She even made sure that her and Cash's pj's had Green on them too when it was time for bedtime! She's just too much!! haha! When we woke up Penny was excited to see that the little Leprechauns had come to our house! They had changed all the toilet water GREEN and the Milk GREEN!! She was so excited to have her cereal with her GREEN Milk!! The Leprechauns also left a Lucky Charm Cereal Trail around the house that lead to a Surprise for Penny and Cash!!! Penny was hyped! Such a Silly Little Fun Holiday!! Just LOVE my Lucky Charms!!!

Cutest Little Boy In Town!

I can't believe another month has come and gone! It hurts my heart a little!! Our little Cash is just getting bigger and bigger!! Right at the end of his 6mon mark he started to sit on his own! Not very good on his balance but by 6 1/2 mons boy did he have his balance down! Now at a complete 7mons he sits up so good! He even leans all the way forward and  twists to each side if he wants to grab a toy and then sits right back up!! He will sit by himself for a long time without falling over! He Loves to sit too! He knows he's a big boy!! He Loves his little jumper too!! He has figured out just how to use it! He will spring off his little feet and let his body fly! It's the best!! His little personality is just a coming out! He's so aggressive with his toys! He Loves any toy you give him and it goes straight to his mouth! It's so funny to see the difference between Penny and Cash! Penny at this age only wanted people attention (still does) where as for Cash you give him a toy or put him in his bouncer he won't make a whiny peep for a long time! I remember Penny would be fussy with in 5-10mins with anything you gave her or put her in to play with! She always wanted us to play with her and that has not changed! haha! He loves to eat! He has gotten the hang of eating his foods and Loves it!! He's just the best!! He's always so happy and smiley! He makes my Heart so Happy! Loving every second with this little man in our lives!!

My favorite is when I can hear Penny in the other room playing with Cash! Oh I just Love it! She is so sweet to him and as you can see in these pics he LOVES his BIG Sister!! He watches every little thing she's doing and is smiling the whole time just Loving her!! Oh my heart is going to burst!!!

Chance's Very Special Day!

Such a special day! Chance got Baptized! He is our 1st nephew to get baptized on both sides! We are so Proud of him! We had so much family that came to support him! Such a special evening! The Spirit was so strong! My brother has such a tender heart and once he starts crying we all start crying! He did such a great job!

Chance thank you for choosing the right and making the biggest decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! You've made a great decision and a big step in your life! You're on the right path of making your Heavenly Father very Proud of you! Our little Penny looks up to you so much! She always is saying she wants to do what Chance is doing! So thankfully you are setting a great example for her to look up to! We love you Chance! We are so Proud of you!

Penny's 1st Cheer Camp!

Our very good friend Elise Simister invited Penny out to a Cheer Camp up at Palo High School! Elise is a Cheerleader there!! This was Penny's 1st Cheer Camp! She was the youngest one! She was so Excited to go! She had to wear her cheer outfit and  her hair had to be in a high ponytail with a BIG bow right on the top of her head! She said she needed to look just like Elise!! So cute!! She loves her "Leesee!" She also had to take her pom-poms! She had a blast! At the end of the camp they had a performance for the parents! Oh my! We couldn't wait for this part! Bless her little heart! She was a day late and a dollar short! haha! She was cracking us up because she started making up her own actions and moves! She was the only one with the pompoms and she was working those! haha! She truly has so much personality! She is so FUN!! She didn't even care she wasn't doing the cheers correctly because she was doing her own Show! haha! Love my little Star!! She makes us so Proud!!

He still has his milk allergy! He gets to start eating foods now!! He's been loving his rice cereal!!  He's 17lbs and 27 1/2ins long! He's solid!! He's our blond hair, blue eyed boy that's for dang sure!! He LOVES his big sissy! She can be doing anything in front of him and he will smile and giggle at her!! So fun!! You are our whole world! We love you baby Cash!!!!

Oh the Excitement of Glamis!!!

Oh what a trip!!! We just got back from our annual Glamis sand dune trip!! Glamis is pretty far to drive to so we only go down there 1 rime a year!! It was so dang windy the whole time!! That didn't stop the kids from having fun!!! Here's a few of the good highlights from the weekend! The Ice cream Truck is one of them!!! Penny can hear that music from miles away and she will come out of what ever trailer she's playing in and yell "Ice Cream!" It's the best! This time she had grandpa a jumping to buy!! It was so funny to see my dad move so fast to get ice cream for his grand kids!! I love it!!

Here's the scary highlight..... Chad crashed on the first day on the first ride of the long weekend!! What! Yikes!! So Scary!! He was fine!! Just a little sore the next day from whip flash but that poor Razor!! But that doesn't stop my honz! He loaded it up on a trailer and took it into the town near by and had it fixed! It was done with in that day!! So needless to say Chad was out riding again! But while we were gone getting his razor fixed Chad's dad crashed his razor and he was hurt! He crushed 2 vertebrates in his back! We can't believe it! We are just so sad for him!! His dad's Razor was completely fine that's the crazy part! That was some crazy scary excitement for the weekend!! We have been really lucky with as much as we go out to the dunes to be as safe as we have been!

The cutest highlight was when Gma Ruthie named these girls the "Pinkie Girls Club!" They LOVED it! Penny felt so special! Gma Ruthie made Valentine Heart Necklaces with them and then they all watched a movie together!! They all get along so good! Penny is still talking about the "Pinkie Girls Club!" and she also told me that she is Gma Ruthie's Grand Daughter! What! How does she know to put those words together! and the funny part is Gma Ruthie is really my cousin thru marriage but we are just going with it! Because Penny LOVES her Gma Ruthie!!!

Brianhead Fun!

It's always so fun to go to the snow!!! We try to go to Brianhead at least once a year! Chad gets to snowboard and I get to take pics of Penny playing in the snow all day!! This year we had little Cash!! So I bundled him up and hooked him right on me so I could be hands free!! :) He was such a good boy all day! Always is! Love my little man!! Penny Loved the snow! We were going to put her in ski school but she has to be 4yrs old! So next year should be even more fun!!

For lunch I met up with all the boarders!!! So fun!! And then Chad decided to stay with me and kids for the rest of the day!! We had a blast! We just road around looking at all the beautiful cabins and scenery! I just love our times together!!!

Chad and Penny had a blast played in the snow together! Penny just kept squealing and giggling!!! All Penny wanted to do was make Snow Angels, make a Snowman like "Olaf", and roll and slide down the snow!! She's so funny! It hadn't snowed up there since before Christmas so the snow was so icey! So when we went to make a Snowman it would just fall apart!  The snow just wouldn't stick together! Penny thought that was funny too!! We had such a wonderful time!! Thanks Johnson's for letting us stay with you guys!!!

Yee-Haw!!! Ride-em Cowgirl!!!!

 

We sure do LOVE our bff' Simisters!!! Doug and Elise took us out to ride their beautiful horses last Saturday!! Every time Penny would see Doug she would ask to ride his Horses! So we finally found time between both our crazy schedules to do some riding!! Oh man was she in Heaven!

So Doug has 2 Horses a reddish brown one named Red and a white one named Diamond! Diamond is a baby only like 8mons old! Awe so cute!!! I thought Penny would be a little scared to ride such a big horse but nope!!! She hopped right up on Red and we couldn't get her off!! She LOVED it!!!!!!

 Yee-Haw!!!! Ride-em Cowgirl!! She had the time of her life! Such a BIG girl up there! Daddy was pretty dang proud of her too!! He's such a country boy at heart!! Love it!! I could hear him out there coaching her how to hold on and ride! So Sweet!  He walked her around and around and around for quite a while and she still didn't want to get off!!

 Such a fun morning! Thanks bff's for letting us come out and play! We can't wait until next time!

This is why I LOVE pulling my camera out a taking pictures of this little miss sassy pants! This is all her! No coaching needed here! She just started a moving and I started a clicking!!! LOVE HER!!!! She makes my heart happy!!!!!

Little Cash is eating something new!!

Oh let the fun begin!!! I can't believe my little man is old enough to start eating Rice!! We just started a couple days ago! Cash just turned 5mons! and boy do we have a big helper!! Penny gets so excited when it's time to feed her little brother! He loves it too!! He opens his mouth better for her than for me!! Oh I just love these to with all my heart!

Baby Boy is 5mons Already!

Another month has come and gone!! We can't believe our little Cash in 5mons old!! He is the most chill baby!! He's just as happy as can be all day long!! He loves making sounds! He sounds just like a little dolphin! He absolutely loves his big sissy!! If he catches his eye on her he starts smiling and talking!! It's the best when he starts a giggling! He's also been drooling a ton! No teeth yet and don't really expect any anytime soon! Remember Penny didn't get her 1st tooth until she was 16mons!! Yikes!!! :)  haha! He loves to eat!! Loves his special formula bottles! He's and expensive little eater! :) Our little Cash has been such an added delight to our little family!! We are just loving you....baby Cash!!

Loving Our Long Stay Out On The Dunes!

The day after Christmas to almost the New Year we spent out at the Dunes! We loved it! This was the longest we had ever camped out there!! It was so nice to get away and just shut our busy lives off for a wk!! It was awesome!! The kids had a blast! Played so hard and the boys rode so hard!!! It was beautiful weather the whole time! We had a huge circle of campers this time! Even Eryn came out for 3 days before she flew back home to Oklahoma!! That was the highlight for all! We love that Eryn!!! Lots of picture collages to enjoy! I have been loving my new lens as you can see!! Ever since I have gotten it I have been shooting in manual mode! Wow! That makes a huge difference in your pics! I have never done that mode with all the picture taking I do! I have been missing out! Not anymore!! :)

As you can see the kids had a blast!!! So much freedom out at the dunes!! They just run wild all day!!!

This face is to die for!! He Loves his momma!!!!Well pretty much anyone that smiles at him he will give a BIG smile back! Awe...just melts your heart!!! He's truly the best baby! He even stayed on his little sched out there! He hardly makes a peep!! Love him!!!

Penny rode for the first time all by herself on her little quad! We were so proud!! She loved it!!! She's getting so big even though she looks so small on it! haha! We love our times at the Dunes!! Happy New Year!!!
