Disneyland 2013

We went on a wonderful trip to Disneyland and the beach. We spent three days at the park and then two days in Carpinteria visiting Grandpa and Grandma Jansen.

Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Ried's

Playing in the Snow

Dad got some great shot while playing with the girls in the snow. They built to snowmen and a fort. We have the best dad.

Happy B-day Evie

On January 27th 2013 Evelyn Jan turned 3. I can't believe she is so old (she hates me to say she is big, Ainslie is big, she is tiny).

We had a couple of little parties for her with family and friends. I'm so happy I have my Evelyn.

Merry Christmas

I just found this awesome string of photos Josh took after church one Sunday when we were trying to capture the family in their Christmas outfits.

Some how none of us are aware of the middle child falling down.

 Oh well . . . just get up and we will keep taking pictures.

Valentine's Day

We had a really fun Valentine's Day this year. We  started out with new shirts, presents for girls (red and white nutcrackers) and chocolates and a love note for dad. We had pink pancakes with strawberry jam. Josh planned a get away for me and him, plus got me slippers and got my wedding ring cleaned. I helped in Ainslie's class with a Valentines party.  I'm just starting to realize how much fun holidays are with my kids growing up.

Merry Christmas

Scheels or Ainslie's Title:Scared-of-Heights Carousel

We rode the carousel at Scheel's the other day.

It took me a few tries to get the photo right, which allowed a show of Ainslie's various emotions while riding.

Terror:

Ambivalence:

Alright, maybe this isn't so bad:

And a fish.

Trick or Treating 2012

Our cousins were in town for Halloween so we got to go Trick or Treating with them. It was so fun.

Dinosaur Land

 I had a training in Vernal the first week in November, so we took the kids and made a trip out of it.  Dinosaur National Monument was really cool.

We are adding a new tradition to our Fall line-up . . .Pumpkin Boat Racing at Sugarhouse Park. This was hilarious and so much fun.
