A few weeks ago, we hit up a parking lot Carnival with grandma and grandpa.
We rode on lots of great rides and the kids had a blast

Last time Josh, Amber and Cindi were in town, we hit up Babes near our house, and the kids all did the Hokey Pokey in front of the restaurant with the waitresses

Since she was going to be here for L’s birthday anyways, Cindi brought all the Christmas gifts she had for the kids and we did a 2nd Christmas before she left.
I think the kids love their Snuggies more than anything else

Sorry for the delay in posting this. My PC died on Friday and I’m just now back up and running.

Lily’s 2nd Birthday Party was on the 23rd of January. We had lots and friends and family over for princess dress up and cupcakes.

Here are some photos:

Before I left for the 3day, I was clearing off Brendan’s camera card so that I could take his camera with me on the walk. While doing so, I found these photos that I forgot we took! This was from our last visit with Nana, Josh and Amber.

These are more photos found on Brendan’s camera card of pics we took at grandma and grandpa’s house. Lily tore up their house that day. LOL

We moved into the house, Then Brendan and I went to San Diego to see my grandparents, then Brendan got sick on vaca, then I got sick when we got home.  (busy, i know!) now we are both healthy and trying to get back into the swing of things!

On the 20th, my Nana will be coming all the way from Ohioh to California to come see me! She’ll be here for 10 days and I just can’t wait to show her all my tricks!

Mom and I are going on vacation to Florida tomorrow! We will be in Fort Lauderdale until March 1st to visit Grandma and Grandpa Smith.  They will be so excited to see how different I am from Christmastime.  Daddy will miss me though and i will miss him too

A lot of people have been emailing us to be sure we are okay in the aftermaths of all our rain storms.  We’re fine.  The floods came the day mom and dad and g were supposed to fly out, so we were a bit concerned since 101 was closed headed south (towards the airport) and we didn’t know an alternate route, but they got it figured out and made it home safe and sound.  Much of what was flooded is now drying up, although it was very weird to see the cornmaze/pumpking patch as a lake, and to have the water so high in the used-car lots that it was up to the windshields.  It seemed like just as everything got flooded, the rain would stop, then there would be big talk of the water going away, and then it would start up again.  I can’t believe this weather.  I’m moving to higher ground…
