Happy Birthday Daddy!!! Disneyland

May 5th and 6th 2009

We went to Disneyland for Erics Birthday!!! It was probably more for me and the girls...OK it was definitely more for us, but he had fun too!!!!

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

We got to our hotel at midnight and this is what our girls looked like when we got there...They wanted to go to Disneyland!!!!!!

In front of the pretty flowers

Us girls with Goofy

Alaura and Minnie Mouse

Alaura had fun playing the water in the bugs life section of California adventure.

Camie and Juan and Mom and Dad Olsen and Brittany were all there too!! We ran into mom and dad and they took the girls to Playhouse Disney so Eric and I could go on The Tower of Terror...So Fun!!!!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!! We watched the Pixare parade with Leyna while Camie and Juan went on a couple of rides. The parade was pretty cool!

We ended our day with Dinner in Disneyland...Clam chowder Baby!!!!

Day 2

The first ride we went on was Space mountain...and Eric took Alaura on it!!!! She was such a big girl!!! It scared her pretty good though. Eric told her that they were going to go on a fun rocket ride where you look at the stars and lift up your arms and say "wee this is fun". So they got on and up they went. Alaura was holding on to the lap bar and every now and them she would lift her hands up ad say "wee this is fun" then grab the bar again. But, by the second turn she turned to Eric and said "K, I'm all done now" and repeated it while she held on for dear life. The rest of the day any time we asked her if she wanted to go on a ride she would immediately ask "is it a roller coaster? I don't want to go on a roller coaster" Poor Baby!!!

Alaura loved these Mickey benches!!!

I Even went on the Tea cups with Alaura!!!!

Syd wasn't very excited to ride the carousel

Alaura liked it so much she decided to kiss it!!!!

Alaura really liked petting the goats and sheep and Big Thunder Ranch or whatever it was called.(At least she didn't kiss them!!!)

Chip n Dale

Aladdin and Jasmin

Daddy and Sissy ( Have I mentioned that he's an amazing Daddy!?!)

Tricks, school and toys

May 1st 2009

This is Sydney and Daddy's new trick. She thinks it pretty great!! My little Buddha baby!!!

This week for school they're working on the letter "U" They had a homework assignment to make a box of the things "Under my Bed" Here's how Alaura's turned out:

"Princess Alaura's Bed"

We found all kinds of things under all the beds in our house and she cut out pictures from magazines and we made little things too...

This was Alaura's favorite toy when she was Sydney's age too...Sydney LOVES it!!!!!!

Big Sister and Sissy

The end of April

Alaura took to calling Sydney "Sissy" a while ago and we now refer to her as Sissy at least as much as Sydney. She was also very adamant that she be called big sister, So here are pictures of two of the loves of my life, Big Sister and Sissy

Sissy LOVES sucking her thumb. She took to it and puts her self to sleep with it all the time. We LOVE it almost as much as she does...I am aware that it'll probably be a fight later, but right now it's a lifesaver!!!! And it's just so stinkin' cute!!!!

Her roots are coming in soooooo Blonde just like her Big Sister

What goof balls they are. Sissy thinks her big sister is the funniest person ever!!!

What a great Big Sister!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Camie!!!!

Easter!!!

April 9, 2009

We had Camie Juan and Leyna over on the Thursday before easter and had a yummy ham and "funeral potatoes" dinner. Then we did an easter egg hunt.

Alaura and Leyna getting ready to find those eggs!!!

Sydney wants to get in on the action too!!!

Alaura practically climed into the bushes to get the eggs

Not the best picture, but here are Sydney and me.

Leyna took a break from the egg hunt to slide!

Leyna got the hang of it really quick!!!

Alaura was finding eggs all over the place!!!

She was really serious about getting those eggs!!!!

Here are a couple family pictures.

April 12, 2009

On Easter mornig while Sydney was sleeping Alaura woke up and looked High and low for her easter basket...

But eventually she found it!!!

Here's Sydney with her easter stuff ( I can't get the computer to turn it the right way)

Pinewood Derby race!!!

March 27, 2009

Eric's Dad is a counselor the Singles Branch presidency at church. And they had a pinewood derby recently. Well one of the perks of Dad being in the presidency is that Eric and Alaura got to race cars too!!!

Eric didn't have much time to work on the cars, but he did a great job and Alaura had a great time helping him!!!

I love their faces in this picture!!!

Here are most of the cars that raced I think 2 or 3 more showed up later. Dad's is the orange one, Alaura's is the yellow one with a heart and Eric's is the black and blue one...oh yeah and Brittany and Lynette raced two of Eric's cars from a past race...the yellow and red ones on the bottom left corner.
