Pippi and Annika forever!!!!

ok so this is kindof an inside joke for a very limited amount of people-
We had such a good time memorial weekend down at the beach with macs, weavers, and sheps. The beach is my happy place (and apparently alot of other people too!!) We love to eat at Rockin'Baja- it makes us sooooo happy! sorry Laura-if we didn't eat them-someone else would, does it help to know they went to good people???

Last Disney Day of the summer-till August!?

Chaz and I took a little run to Disneyland yesterday. He is truly my kid-we basically go to Disneyland to shop and eat!!! (well, I like to look at the flowers and plants there too!) I won't even admit how much we spend on food there (good thing Eddie never looks at this blog!) Please note my score vs. Chaz' score; ( we are very competitive and I take my buzz and Woody scores very seriously; I mean, look at the concentration!! I was only 30,000 points away from level 6!!!!)

Memorial Day 09'

We had such a great time this Memorial day. Just a fun relaxing day in the sun with friends. We had an impromptu pool/BBQ/Volleyball party (everything we do is pretty much impromptu these days-that is Eddie style that has taken us over. me- the neurotic micro detail planner!) I have learned to enjoy the impromptu-not every little detail has to be planned, impromptu is good-go with it! We love living in this sunny state.

Easter in Vegas!

We had an unconventional but very fun Easter this year in Las Vegas. We met up with some Utah family and stayed at the new Trump hotel. It was really nice. We love to see the babies. Gavin and Bella are so fun! ( and we like their mom and dad too!) and the boys got to have Cody ALL to themselves. we hated to leave.

babies, babies, babies

me with my friend summer's precious newest addition Baby Cooper. This pic was taken before christmas so I am a little slow on the posting! She (and all the shepard clan) are my extended family and I love her babies so much! (her daughter tana is with me in my profile pic) sometimes I really wish I had more babies (without the whole 9 months, feeling pukey getting really fat part, potty training, etc.., I really am a baby lover! This was the night of the midnight show of Twilight and I almost didn't go because I just hated to leave this snuggly guy! Thanks Liz, Melissa, and Susie for having babies soon for me to hold and love! Plus my nieces have babies too in Utah and Idaho! Dangit!!!

Great book for Valentines!

Happiness for Two: 75 Secrets for Finding More Joy Together by Alexandra Stoddard

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
excellent book, hard to put down. i bought it thinking hubby and I could read a chapter a night but it is so good the first night I read 13 chapters. I highly recommend it. I love the famous quotes in it.

Christmas with Family 08'

Savi and Santa Knotts 08'

My little girl still likes to see santa and wrote him a letter this year. will she still next year? I think she is just playing along and covering all the bases just in case! she has however brought up that she knows all of the santas are not real because they all look different. (Which is apparent when we line up all our pics over the years!) Of Course, Santa has to have helpers!
