Family Summer Trip 2009 - Part II - Disneyland

I LOVE Disneyland, and could not wait to have kids - so that I could take them here =) When we heard that you get in free on your birthday this year, and that kids under 3 are free, I talked Jer into adding this into our road trip. Jeremy turned 29 this day and had to wear a button that announced it was his birthday. Everyone at the park wished him a happy day and we got a free desert at Red Robin!

Here are the girls in our hotel room - ready to go!

Bailey liked the shuttle TO Disneyland better than the rides!

All of us on the "horsey ride" that "goes up and down and up and down"

Apparently, D Land has a petting zoo, which I don't remember, but the girls LOVED it.

The large characters FREAKED the girls out - especially Bailey. She screamed "NO"! And was pushing off Jer as soon as they got near.

Back to the hotel for nap time....

... Then back again.

On the Buzz Lightyear ride.

Us watching the awesome firework show!

Flying with Peter Pan

Hmmmm, now you know where she gets it from.

Tuckered out from the LONG day. We stayed until the park closed at midnight!

Family Summer Trip 2009 - Part III - Las Vegas

I LOVE these girls and this chair. We are getting ready to go swimming at Melissa's - and I was trying to figure out how to get this chair home with me. Please let us have it - the girls fit perfectly!

The Fam


While there, Jeremy celebrated his 29th birthday! Old Man. My mom made his favorite:

yellow cake with rainbow chip frosting!

Great-grandpa Kennedy with the girls. Kennedy's face cracks me up.

3-D

The boys with the girls. There is a water park really close to my parents house and we went to to keep cool.

Ethan with Kennedy
Arran with Bailey (my brothers are getting so big!)

What the....????

This picture makes me want to have a crazy glasses party! This is at the Hard Rock Hotel where we had just gotten done eating a FREE fine dinning dinner. How you say? Easy, just watch a HUGE, black, sewer rat crawl down the wall behind your cousins back. Seriously. It was gross.

My fish gals.

A little ranch with your fries never hurt anyone, right?

Am I seeing double? It's Jeremy and Jeremy. Oh no, wait... one has hair!

My madre with both babes.

More swimming... it's the only way to stay to sane in the Vegas heat.

Family Summer Trip 2009 - Part IV - Utah

For the last part of our road trip, we stopped in Utah. When we pulled in and saw all the beautiful mountains, Jeremy and I looked at each other and realized how much we missed it! We went directly to Cafe Rio and then to Amy's house (where we were staying). That night we went out with the Losee's, Fawsons, Yagers, Adam, and Keith (plus 7 kids).Can you tell they are excited to be with us?

We then went to good ole Liberty park where they children feed the ducks and ran a muck!

Bailey jumping in the air.... cutest picture ever!

Out in Herriman, where we were staying, they built this little reservoir that you could go swimming in. The kids loved playing with Jordyn and had a blast.

Last night there, we took Adam and Keith to sushi. Kennedy seriously picked up the chopsticks and used them to eat a couple of bites. Holy Cow! That is amazing considering I just figured them out a few years ago myself!

5 Years

On June 26th, Jeremy and I celebrated our five year anniversary. Crazy, huh? Time flies. We are pretty much the same just a little fatter! We celebrated by staying at the same hotel we stayed at for our Honeymoon. We had the girls with us there in the day - and took them swimming, then we dropped them off, went out to dinner and had a night alone! It was much needed and awesome. Jer also bought me a beautiful ring to symbolize our five years -

I LOVE it!

*This is a picture of the side of our dining table Jeremy made when we were first married.

Grouchy Ladybugs

My Aunt took us to get some pictures done of the girls and their brand new second cousin baby Faye! Let's just say that all of the 6 adults present were worn out by the time we were done!

For these shots the girls had to sit on my lap and legs (hence why Bailey looks shorter) because they were freaked out by the camera lady. These are all unedited pics the lady just gave us from her C.D. - so don't look too closely!

Great Grandma Olvera and her Great Grandbabies!

The Three Amigos

Loves being an Only Child....

Funny Outtakes:

For the life of her, Bailey could not hold still. She was running all over the place, so Jeremy (as seen on far right) was running in circles around the other two girls with Bailey chasing. This is what a snapshot of that turns out like =)

Again Bailey having little to no patience. She is yelling "Dad" over and over and over again. We called it a wrap after that.
