Jill, Lucy, and Joseph

We had the best week hanging out with cousins


Jill came with her two cuties and we got to go pick them up from the airport to start our cousin extravaganza early


The kids immediately hit it off as if no time had passed. 


They loved being with each other which is always so great to see. 


And to make things even more fun, Jill and I took our boys to Disneyland! 


I was SO worried because it had been the most beautiful, sunny week and on the day we were going to go to Disneyland it was supposed to rain! 


But, it ended up being quite possibly my favorite day at Disneyland


We had the entire park to ourselves and were able to get on every single ride. Something I hadn't experienced before. 


The boys had the best time together. Sometimes waiting in line can be hard for the little ones but not when you have a bestie to play with! 


David and I enjoyed our alone time too. It's so fun hanging out with my kids. You never know how much time you have left on this earth so I always try to make fun memories for them. 


The boys loved meeting Mickey!


We had been fully prepared for snow and to be wet but in the middle of the day, the sun came out! 


It will always be one of my favorite days. I love watching my kids build friendships with their cousins. It's been one of my favorite things about having kids. 


The girls got to hang out with grandma while the boys played at Disneyland. Thank you, Marcia! 



Annie is so much fun and such a character these days. She loves to dress up and asks to wear dresses. She likes to play "Trick or treat" and goes around the house asking for us to put things in her bag. Her speech is coming along. 


We also got to celebrate Annie turning TWO. It was extra special to spend her birthday with cousins. 


We had a noodle bar and all of her favorite things to eat. 


She is the cutest thing I've ever seen and loves to pose and smile for the camera. She is just too cute and fun. 


You wouldn't know it from this pictures but she is also the sassiest little thing. She loves to beat up Lilah and pick on her. Sometimes she'll even make David cry. She is SO sassy. She does not like when kids take her toys away and will yell at them and push them. We are definitely working on not screaming and pushing. All part of being a two year old!


Annie enjoyed opening her presents from Joseph and Lucy. 




Being the 3rd born, she doesn't get alot of things to call her own so she LOVED her toys. 



She also loved her present from grandma which was a shopping cart with a baby and a phone. 


Cousins being cute and wrestling. 




Annie enjoying her presents. 



We attended the Deaf Ward and the kids reenacted Laman and Lamuel telling Nephi not to build the ship. 



Rainy walk to school. I love living next door to the school. We leave our house 5 minutes before the bell rings. I sometimes worry about what David learns from the kids in school. The other day, David said a bad word at home. I told him he had said a bad word and he felt so bad that he immediately started crying. So, I try not to have him go to school too early if we don't have to. 


I've been loving teaching night classes. On Tuesdays I teach for 16 hours in a row and I absolutely love it. 


Annie has the best smile. We think she is so silly sometimes. 



On our way to pick up David from school. 


Chilly day at the playground. 


David is Annie's favorite. 


David loves all things Mario Cart, Monster Truck and spider kids right now. He is so much fun! 


Annie is the best sleeper. She goes to bed at 9pm and some days will stay asleep until 11am the next day. It's the best! 


I work Saturdays so I miss the Saturday fun but Mike is so fun and takes the kids to all of the birthday parties and events. Here are the kids at David's classmates birthday party. 


The kids had a blast. 




The kids on Valentine's day. 


Cutie babies! 




Lilah loves to pose and always asks me to take extra pictures, haha! Love her! 


I love where we live. We are close to the mountains, beach, and desert. We don't have to deal with the snow but if we want to play, we can drive 20 minutes up to Oak Glen. It's so beautiful up there and we always have a great time. 




Lilah wasn't into the whole being cold thing, so she decided to watch while she drew. 



I love that Lilah knows how beautiful she is and always asks for extra pictures. I hope she always remembers how beautiful she is. I worry that kids will be jealous of her and be mean. That's one of my biggest fears because she is so pretty. 




We took the sled down a bunch of times until we were too tired to climb back up the hill. 







Mike waited in the car while Annie napped and they joined us later. 




Annie loved riding down. 



Mike pulled her around like a princess for a whole hour. 


Lilah got a bunch of snow in her boots so she was air drying her socks. Haha! 







Life is so fun right now. I hope that I can get lots more memories with my babies because life with them is my favorite.
