Disneyland!

My family participated in the Give a Day, Get a Day program from disney and were able to go this last weekend. I was so excited to go, so we drove through the night on wednesday and got there Thursday morning at 8 ish.

We went to Disneyland the first day and Owen was on overload!


Here is the family headed off from the hotel!!


Owen's first ride. I don't think he knew what to expect. We couldn't tell whether he was scared or having fun.


Owen was quite sick of riding in his stroller and the only way we could get him to stay with is was to push the stroller with Grandpa.


Everyone HAS to take a picture in front of the castle.


Owen LOVES trains.


I absolutely LOVE this picture. He was trying so hard to pick it up. When he realized he couldn't get it, he kept on saying 'STUCK'. It was hilarious.


At the end of the day we had to see Mickey. Owen calls him 'mouse'.


On Firday, we headed over to California Adventure. Terrell and gpa walked from the hotel while gma and I took the shuttle. I was a little worn out from walking ALL day in Disneyland being almost 7 months prego. Whilee Terrell was waiting for us to get there he took this picture of Owen on the CA letters!


Terrell and Gpa went on the California screaming ride and I was trying to get a picture of them and this is what I got. THey seem SOOO excited to be there!


Owen loves glasses. THese are the 3D glasses they use in the Toy Story ride. We went on it twice in a row. Owen liked that one.


Here are the prizes we won from the boardwalk games for Owen. He loves the lizard.


Waiting in line for Bug's Life. We are dorks!!


Owen just having fun with dad on another ride.


We had such a great time. I was a little exhausted after the 2 days of walking around but I did it. I was very proud of myself. We will have to go back later when Owen is a little older and can appreciate it more. But it was way worth it!!

Camera Download

Terrell and I took a trip to Disneyland this past weekend and I had Terrell download all the pictures. After looking through them I realized I hadn't blogged about any of them, other than Disneyland, in forever. SO here is my catch up post.

Owen loves to do anything that daddy is doing. Terrell was working on a drawing an listening to music. Owen wanted to listen too!!!

But he still was a good boy and shared with Dad.

Next on the list was a play date with Julie Housley and her little boy Boston. We all went to Kangaroo Zoo and let the boys roam free.

Boston is soo cute. I wish Owen would let me take pictures like this.

THey were very good play buddies!!!

Next on my list is Disneyland but I will do a seperate post for that!!!!

temple square

We were up in Salt Lake so we decided to stop and take couple of pictures at temple square. Mostly Terrell wanted to take some of the flowers but we also tried to get some of Owen who wanted nothing to do with it so we didn't get many that were all that good.

Eureka Trip

   Terrell had heard there was some cool buildings down in Eureka to have as backgrounds so we took a small family trip to see what was there. While we were there we took a few pictures and despite Owen being completely uncooperative we ended up with a few cute ones. Enjoy.

easter pics

Easter 2010

I guess I should post about Easter before it gets to far away.

All of the festivities started on Saturday when we suprised my mom for her 50th birthday. She shared it with Easter this year so we decided to do it a day early. She had no idea.

The kids gathered at the house at 9 and we decorated the family room and the kitchen with all sorts of black and 'Over the Hill' things. Mom and Dad arrived home at 10.(dad was in on all of it so he took her out for a few things that morning to help us out!)

Mom walked in the door and the first thing she said was,"It smells like someone has been baking." Sara had put the birthday cake in the oven and we thought we had been busted. But she still walked through the hall and then we all threw confetti at her and yelled SUPRISE!!! She was so startled she almost cried!!! HE HE!! We are awful!!

After the fright had worn off she was very thrilled to have us all over and loved that we made her feel old! We enjoyed the time together and made her feel like she had a birthday this year instead of it just being Easter.

Easter morning we woke up to about 3 inches of snow. I guess no Easter egg hunts for us. But the Easter bunny did visit during the night. Terrell and I got 2 movies. The Blind Side and Sherlock Holmes. Owen got a bat and ball and some race cars. He was so cute when he saw his basket on the table. He kept on pointing to it. He knew it was his!

We had our traditional Easter/conference breakfast, Egg Goulosh!!! YUM!!! We then sat down for conference and enjoyed just relaxing.

After the snow melted, about 4 o'clock, the Easter bunny helpers, Terrell and Mick, went outside to hide some eggs for us to hunt. owen didn't really know what to do at first but he got the hang of it.

In my family we all have a certain color egg we have to find. Owen didn't really care about that. He went for anything he could find. He ended up with a good amount of candy and we tried to keep it away from him until after dinner. We did ok but had to give him a little:)

All in all we had a good weekend and are off to start another. Hope you all had fun as well.

Aisha senior pics

Terrell and I went out to roosevelt this last weekend and Terrell took some pics of his little sister for her senior year. Here are a few for a preview.

Owen 18 months

Family update

I try to keep up to date on this blog but I don't do a very good job at it. I thought that this week would be a good one to catch everyoine up on the most important things in my life, my kid(S)!!! Yes. For those of you who don't know, I am expecting again. He or she will be born about 2 weeks after owen's 2nd birthday. I guess I like to be pregnant in the summer!

I went to my 2nd appointment on Monday and they assured me no twins, YAY for that! My official due date is August 8th, a day after my birthday! I have to say that this pregnancy is harder than the first but not horrible. I hear all these stories of girls being so sick they can't even get out of bed, or they throw up 3 times a week. I ALMOST threw up once. And now I am onto trimester 2.

Expecting number two has made me want a house more and more. We strugle with finding places for things to go right now. We are still looking but have had no success on selling our condo so that we can move. Keep your fingers crossed.

Onto my other joy, Owen. He is so full of life and a joy to be around. He just hit 18 months this week and i can't believe it. He is starting to talk and being able to be understood. I am sure he is thrilled that he can say something and have me react the way he wants. He is already starting to show interest in potty training, YES!!! It would be so nice to have him out of diapers by the time the next one comes. He hasn't got to the point where he tells me before, he just hits himself after he pees. It is quite funny.

He had his check up this week also. Everyone always asks if I know what percentile he is in and I never have before, but I asked his doctor this time.
94% in height
12% in weight
Tall, skinny boy. And all of you know that he didn't get his height from me :)
