Look at us NOW!

We both have changed so much it is crazy to see the pictures next to each other. This picture was taken the summer of 2001. The things puppy love make you do! This photo was taken in the summer of 2008. Good thing we still look happy- HA HA! Just a little bit better pose.

7 great years

So I have been slacking on the blog deal, but I have been playing a lot instead. What a great trade off. Well, it has been 7 great years of marriage for Aaron and I and it has flown by. I just wanted to post a few old photos of Aaron and I when we were dating and got married. It is so much fun to look at old photos. We both look so much younger just 7 years ago. It is crazy! He is such a HUNK!

Leaving for his mission in 1998. It was so hot at the reception hall. Can you tell?

A picture when we were courting about 5 months before we got married. I sure am grateful for such an awesome guy.

Are Children Really Listening?

There are times when I don't know if our children are ever really listening to anything that is being said. It is frustrating at times, but then they say or do something that lets you know they truly are soaking some things in. The other day my kids were playing in the living room. They were making a fort and using a sleeping bag inside the fort. I kept hearing them say to each other, "we need more food storage, we don't have enough." They then proceeded to gather food and their stuff animals inside their sleeping bag. Then they would say again, "we still need some more food storage." They kept telling me they were storing food for the winter time. It was really precious and it let me see that they were at least catching onto the concept of having "Food Storage." So if all else, at least they won't starve. HA! HA!

Disneyland

Loved Disneyland. I haven't been here since I was 13 years old so it was great to be back. This was the new Buzzlightyear astroblaster. It was a blast. I think the boys had the high score.
Cruella was so funny. She talked with the kids for a while and they really liked her. GOOD PUPS
Allie finally got to give Minnie her pictures that she had been drawing for Minnie for the past 3 months. She saved them in her drawer to bring all the way to California for Minnie.
It was so cute. Jace and his cousin Aubree got picked to do the Jedi Training. They did awesome and fought good againest Darth Vador.

Seaworld

We will always love SHAMU! It was awesome to see the great performances.

Legoland/Temple

The temple was amazing. It was so much fun to see another temple. It was really special.

We had so much fun at Legoland. All the little lego creations were really neat.
Trust me on this one, this really is a lego guy and not a real person.

San Diego beach

We went on a family trip to California. We had so much fun and the kids want to go back again next week. We doubt that will happen. HA HA! We went with my parents and my brother Ben and his family. These are pictures from the beach. There was sand is every place from this fun picture moment.
