Lets Go Fly a Kite . . .

It was my parents birthdays last month and I asked Abigale what she wanted to get her Papa and she said a kite, of course. My dad loves doing anything and everything with his grandkids so I knew he would love flying a kite with Abigale and Lydia. Abigale picked out the perfect kite and after a delicious Thai dinner, we went to the park to test his birthday present out. The wind was perfect but also a little cold (actually a lot cold). I forgot to bring the girls' coats so luckily I had some extra sweaters in the car. They loved wearing the big sweaters and thought it was pretty funny. We had a great time and can't wait for more kite flying in the future! Look at that smile!

I love this picture:Very cold!Silly Abigale and Silly Papa

Well I am finally getting around to blogging about our trip to Disneyland which was amazing. We stayed for a week and went to Disneyland for 3 days and spent a day at Universal Studios. It was perfect because usually in the morning we would all go on rides together and then in the afternoon Jonathan's parents would take the girls so that we could go on the big rides and at night we would spend time with just our girls as a family. It was the best of everything! Looking at these pictures again makes me want to go back!

Since I have so many pictures (and I have finally figured out how to make collages on our new computer) I posted some of my favorite pictures first and then made collages with the rest. Sorry some of the pics are blurry, I am still trying to figure it out. Enjoy!

Busy Busy

Ever since Christmas it seems like we have had one thing after another and we have loved it! My sister came in town from Singapore because they bought a house/cabin in Driggs, ID (outside of Jackson) and she wanted to start decorating and purchasing furniture. It was so good to see her and finally meet her little boy William. We were then busy with celebrating friends' birthdays and fun preschool field trips. At the end of January we were lucky enough to go with Jonathan's family to California for a week (a new post on this vacation coming soon!) The day we got back from California my sister and her family flew in from Chicago for two weeks. She had a baby boy on New Years Eve so I was able to meet my other nephew, Max and to be there for his blessing on Valentines Day. It has been busy but so much fun and we already miss seeing everyone.
Random pictures ahead:

Abigale is so sweet with Lydia and loves taking care of her. I was on the computer and heard the girls laughing. I looked over and saw this: I love moments like this!
Baby Will!! He is so cute and looks like a little Italian baby! Poor guys had a hard time dealing with the jet lag from Singapore but he was still adorable. Abigale and Lydia loved playing with him: The girls had a blast at my parents house because we just go all the toys out and they played all day long! This is the house/cabin my sister bought. She will be living here all summer! It is beautiful and I am excited for this summer to visit often!

We took a special field trip to a pizza place and the girls got to make their own pizza. It was so much fun and delicious. The moms had fun because we got to sit and talk while the kids played in the party room and ate their pizza.

Flattening the dough: Putting on the sauce and toppings:

They were so excited when it went in the oven: and watched it come out the other side;

Eating the pizza:Of course Lydia got in on in:

It was Abigale's best buddy's birthday so we celebrated at Monkey Business a really fun place for kids. This is how I saw Abigale the majority of the day. This is a big obstacle course and she did it probably a 100 times in a row. She loved it!:

BFF's!Before we left on our trip of course the girls got sick but Daddy didnt mind getting extra snuggle time with Lydia:After we got back from our trip- Caitlin, Jeffrey, and Max came in town just in time for the Super Bowl. Everyone was really into the game (notice the new paint in our tv room- Jonathan surprised me and painted and put up chair rail while I was in Pocatello. I wasn't sure at first but now I love it):I couldnt get enough of this little guy! Isnt he so cute!Valentines Day we were able to go to Max's blessing. The girls loved wearing their heart dresses. This is the best picture I could get because we were running out the door:I stole this from Caitlins blog but arent they the cutest family:Lydia loved Max and he returned the love with a lot of smiles:The girls and Max:We then made some heart pancakes for dinner:

We spent one of our last days with Caitlin and the fish park. We forgot Abigale's coat so she had to use her blanket but she was running around so much that she never got cold:

Abigale loved taking care of Max and she was so cute with him. We miss him already!:
