Day 1

Holy Cow! What a day! I feel like I could sleep forever...and it's only 7:15 here. DUH! We did so many things today. Fun!

Here the morning started with us waiting for the bus. Jordyn loved the bus. She was singing and laughing the entire time.

We went on lots of rides today. A few of the favorites were the carousel, dumbo, and peter pan.

Because Jaymie and Adam were with us Jason and I got to go on some rides too. Here we are waiting for them to come back from Indian Jones so we could go.

We waited in line for an hour to see the princesses. If you want to see them, you stand in line forever, then you get to meet a random three. We were lucky that we met three out of four of our favorites.

Then we moved on to Mickey Mouse and his friends. Tessa was asleep for this part. Jordyn loved it!


Jaymie and I decided to leave early while Jason and Adam stayed to go on more rides. As we were leaving we saw the best, practically perfect, person of all.

Jordyn was speechless. How can you top Mary Poppins?

So Far

We started out on Tuesday morning bright and early. We gave the girls new blankets for the car trip. Jordyn was so excited! Tessa, well, she didn't care that much. Here we are driving....AND driving....AND driving!

Tuesday afternoon Jason had an appointment for work. The girls and I went to my friend Ashlee's house. I'm so glad that she lives in St. George because I don't know what I would have done. We played at her house, and a park, and had frozen yogurt. Yum!

Tuesday night we drove to Las Vegas and stayed with Jason's Uncle Tom and his family. They had dinner ready for us when we got there. Jordyn kept asking when we were getting to "Abbie's" house...it's really Tabi. She was so excited! The kids all played and Jason and I got to watch The Biggest Looser. (I was sad that I might have to miss it....but NOPE! Oh, and... GOODBYE TRACEY!)

Anyway, in the morning Jordyn woke up like this.

Can you tell that her eye is all puffy? As the day went on it got worse and worse. Her face got all splotchy and puffy. I was super worried. We ended up calling the doctor. The nurse told us to get some Benedryl and then wait for an hour. if it didn't change we needed to go to an InstaCare. I wish I would have taken a picture of the "bad face" because it was scary. Poor Jordyn. After a quick stop to Target we came back to the Hotel and Jason and Adam gave Jordyn a blessing. (I'm grateful for worthy priesthood holders.) So far everything is looking good!

Okay...go back...after we left Las Vegas we got to drive some more.

When we finally made it to our Hotel we were so excited. Jaymie and Adam were waiting for us and Jordyn was super excited to see them. (They had an announcement for us.)

Okay...after Target, and the blessing, we went to Red Robin to eat. Yum! I love their milkshakes. Jason loves their fries. Jordyn loves Sprite.

Tessa and Mommy!

Daddy and Jordyn

And the big news is......

Jaymie and Adam are.....

ENGAGED!

Congrats you two love birds! As far as I know the big day is April 9th.

Tonight we are hanging at the Hotel. We had bought some toys for the girls in Utah and we gave them to them tonight.

We're having lots of fun. Jordyn gets whiny somethings, and Tessa is teething...but that's normal at our house.

More to come soon!

Happy Halloween!

{WARNING - - -POST CONTAINS POOP!}

Today was a super great day...except for a few things. I'll get the complaints out of the way so I can get to the good stuff. Jordyn stepped on the pumpkin pie we bought at Costco. I ran into the trailer hitch that was on the jeep. Jason stepped on my foot. And...one other thing...but I'll tell you about that later.

Here's my little vampire baby. She just woke up so she looks super tired and her hair is a mess...BUT isn't she cute. Norah gave this binkie to Jordyn last year. Click HERE for a blast from the past. We look the girls out tonight for some candy. We decided to walk because the weather was so great. Jordyn got a little scared at some of the house. She DOES NOT like monsters. Tessa was just along for the ride.
Jordyn loved knocking on doors. She was cute!

OKAY

ARE YOU READY!

Remember...You Were Warned!

Jordyn pooped on my floor!

GROSS!

(I had a picture on here, but it really was gross...so I thought I'd spare you. You're welcome!)

Each year Jason's work has a party for Halloween. It's fun. They have trick-or-treating at the desks and we eat lunch too. Jordyn had lots of fun. She was super cute to watch with this other little girl her age. She was dressed as Minnie Mouse and Jordyn loved her. After the party we were going to go to Discovery Gateway....but it was way to expensive for us. So, instead we went to the the Aquarium, where the girls got in free. Jordyn loved this frog and Tessa loved watching all the fish. She would point at them and scream. It was funny!

It's so fun to watch the girls learn and grow. It's more fun watching Jason with them. He's such a good dad. Both the girls love him so much. Jordyn always asks if he will play with her and Tessa just squeals when she sees him.

I saw this sign once that said, "I FOUND MY PRINCE...HIS NAME IS DADDY." I really want to get that and put it in the girls' room.

New Hair

This is Tessa's first time with piggy-tails. Oh So CUTE!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

At least that's how I feel. Monday I had Heber. Tuesday I had Heber and then that night we had a super great activity at the church about temples. The kids got to make sugar cube temples and color pictures. There were SO many yummy treats! Wednesday I had a dentist appointment and an appointment for my TMJ. I had to go to the credit union, the bank, and then Wal-mart. I ironed 20 shirts and finished a bunch of laundry. Today I had Heber again. I finished organizing my coupons. Went visiting teaching. I went to Wal-Mart, Macey's, and Smith's. (I spent about $66.00 at Smith's...and saved about $102.00.) Tomorrow we get to go to Jason's Halloween work party. I have to go to Target, Albertson's, and Walgreens. I need to clean my house. Heber is coming in the morning. (Julie, I love Heber coming over...I am not complaining! Okay? Don't worry. I just like adding him to my list. It makes me feel cooler. :) He's a good boy.) The rest of the weekend should include getting ready to go to Disneyland. Oh, and Halloween. I kind of feel like I might explode. I have so much to do, and don't know where to start. BUT! Did I mention my big savings at Smith's?!?!

Boo At The Zoo!

Today we went to the zoo. We went to "Trick or Treat" with the girls. Jordyn dressed up at a cow girl and Tessa was a horse. Jordyn is in LOVE with her boots. She loves them so much that the other day we had to put them on over her feet pajamas. I thought that Tessa would fight more in her costume, but she did great. They were both so cute.Nonie and Jordyn checking out the new baby elephant.
"Princess Alice"
Isn't she so super cute!
The bears. This is the first time in six trips to the zoo that I've seen them moving.

On the carousel. This was Tessa's first time. Does she look scared?

Jordyn was being a little scardy cat too. Usually she loves this ride.

On the slide. It takes her about three minutes to get to the top and then 3 seconds to get to the bottom. She loves it!
Feeding the ducks.
On the train. Cho! Cho!
At the end of our fun trip.

The weather was a little chilly. There were lots of people there. We got a huge bowl of candy. (YUM!) It was lots of fun!

Thanks Nonie! We're so glad you could come with us.
