Long Beach

We thought it was going to be chilly, but it turned out so hot.  Poor girls were sweating in their boots! But it was so pretty and nice to spend time together. We even went out for lunch which we never do and is one of our favorite things to do. The girls liked most picking flowers on the grass and rolling down the hill. I love when we go places with Nathan because he always takes great pictures! 

Love Story Dancing

Phantom

So since Sadie's been born, I really feel more like a stay at home Mom, meaning I really do stay at home almost every day:). So I was so excited to go out with Nathan (and the Haney's) to see Phantom of the Opera at Pantages. He has been wanting to see this play for years, so that made it so much more fun. The singing was amazing, the costumes were so great and I have all the songs stuck in my head. It was a great night. Thanks to Paula-my sis-in-law who watched the girls and didn't get home until 1 in the morning. 

Cutie Pie

So I thought these pictures were so funny of Sadie b/c of her hair. This is the "bumbo" that Brooke and my Mom got Sadie, which I love. This is her natural hair do. And then where she is in the pink is an attempt to tame the mane. This girl is so much fun, although today she did not want to be put down at all. Sort of hard to get anything done.

Zuma Beach

We went with my sister's family to the beach and her friends for the holiday yesterday. We almost didn't go thinking it was too cold, but it turned out so nice--even stayed until sunset. The girls loved playing with all the kids. Sadie was amazing. Brenna even took a nap on the beach, and Dallas was pretty close. Why is the beach so rejuvenating? 

A GREAT TWENTY-EIGHT!

I took advantage of the Disneyland Special--free entry on your birthday--and come back in 30 days to go to Cal. Adventure too. I wasn't planning on going b/c I tried the zoo with the 3 girls and it was pretty tough so I didn't think I would be up for it. But I woke up and couldn't think of anything else to do and thought it would be a great birthday seeing the girls soo excited to see the princesses and ride on rides, so I thought it would be worth it. Overall, a fun time. It was fun meeting tons of other Mom's who also had the same birthday and were there with their kids. There was even a Mom there who was behind us in line who also had a 2 month old baby there--born the same day as Sadie. And she had 5 kids! My favorite ride was the Nemo Submarine. It was so fun. Sadie was a dream and I got lots of help from strangers who could tell I needed an extra hand at times. The girls loved meeting the princesses and eating cotton candy. 

This other picture of me was at the end of the night. Brooke, my sis, came over and gave me this purse she made and this new shirt. And my other sis Court gave me these cute slippers. What an outfit I know. 

Brenna Turns 2!!

Brenna turned 2 on January 5th! She had a great birthday and was pretty excited about being 2. Here are some fun pictures of her and some from her birthday. 

Tidbits about Brenna: She loves to sing all of the time!  Her favorite game is "Hide & Seek". Everything is "All by Self." She loves to try and get dressed by herself. She loves wearing dresses and trying on shoes. She loves going to nursery at church. She loves dancing, parks, bubbles, coloring, painting nails, dogs and princesses, and playing with Dallas. She makes us laugh and we love her. I can't believe she is 2!
