California Adventure

Ok, so I'm thinking I should be fired from my own blog.  This post is waaaay overdue, but I had to post it because this was the highlight of their trip.  My kiddos absolutely LOVE Toy Story.  They have the 

movie, the dolls, t-shirts!  They were super excited to meet Woody and Jessie.  

 The kids loved the ginormous ferris wheel.  We picked the cage that rocks.  They all thought it was great, even Josiah.  You can't really tell from this picture, but it was all I had of the little guy.  He was so giggly, it was adorable.

 They have this cool adventure area where the kids can climb on these nets, do a tire swing, rock climb, it has a ton of stuff.

 This is the fun Ferris wheel. 

They are ready to go again!!

Beach Day

I'm a little late on getting this posted!  Our second day in CA we took the kids to the beach.  It was a beautiful day and all three of them LOVED the water and the sand.

They don't share a bed well because they both move around so much.  Emma is hanging off the bed!

Surprise...you're at Disneyland

When we left my parents house we told the kiddos we were going home, but we surprised them and took them to Disneyland.  I bought the girls these shirts at the Disney Outlet store here.  We told the girls we were going to the park to take their pictures.  They were definitely surprised.

 

 We went on the Buzz Lightyear ride first.  Emma loves Buzz.  This was her expression when she got close to him in line.

Phoenix Fun

We went to see Great Grandpa Paya while we were in Phx.  When I was little my cousin, Josh, called our grandpa 'Paya' and so now all the grandkids call him that.  We took the kids out to see the horse.

At first, she didn't want to get too close to the horse.  Then he started sniffing her and it tickled so she was giggling.

 

 I love this picture of Abby holding my dad's hand.

My grandpa was trying to get Emma to stand on this so I could take her picture.  He tried to trick her into it by putting Pooh Bear up there first.

She just took Pooh and wouldn't do it. 

Baby Shower for Gage!!

I am way behind on blogging!  Lots to fill you in on....
First, we went to Phoenix because Dave was working in Scottsdale.  We had a baby shower for the kiddos new baby cousin, Gage.

This is Amanda.  My brother's fiance.

The amazing cake that Jill made.

Momma and Amanda.

 I'm excited that I'm gonna have a new sister!

One of my favorite peeps, Jennifer.

 

Star Wars Fans

I got these Star Wars shirts on clearance for the kiddos in honor of Daddy's love for Star Wars. 

A Perfect Heart

On Friday, Dave and I took Emma to the Cardiologist to get an EKG and an Echocardiogram.  She had an EKG when she was 3 months old and her heart looked perfect, but she recently had some blood work that was 'off' so we went to the Cancer Clinic and the heart doc just to get everything looked at again.  I had peace and didn't feel like anything was wrong, but we wanted to make sure that she was ok.  Everything looks good.  I continue to be amazed at God's goodness.  Why I'm surprised or amazed is silly, really.  God has never let me down and always shown Himself, especially through the tough times.  None the less, I remain a doubter at times.  Anyway, Dave and I were both so overwhelmed by how God has blessed Emma.  She really is our little miracle. 

Here are some bonus pictures of all the cuties!

Seriously, Josiah's favorite spot in the house...well, that was until he figured out how to climb the stairs.

Spinning in the tutus I made them for Christmas.
