Princess Treatment

 
 
 
 


Auntie Jess introduced Jennica to the world of Pampering!
We treated our feet to pedicures.
Jen didn't have flip-flops so our first stop was to the shoe store.

Jennica is funny with her feet. she won't let me get near them.

If I try to clip her nails, or even rub her feet she gets all crazy on me.

I was curious to see how she would respond to a pedicure, and once again she
proved my theory that "anyone but mom can do it" was on target.

They say it takes a Village to raise a child. Well, I'm ready to tap into the Village network already!

Auntie Jess helped today. Thanks Jess.

Jedi Jarom in Training

 
 
 
 


This was so fun to watch because it is right up Jarom's alley! I was the crazy mom on the sidelines completely beside myself when they picked Jarom to be trained! My heart was pounding and my hands were shaking. I wore the Perma-grin with pride.
Jarom got to fight Darth Vador! Can you imagine what that must be like for a kid? It moments like this that I live for as a mom!

Buzz Lightyear

 
 
 
 

Grandma Trena gets the Award for best Grandma of the year! She stayed behind with Jace while the rest of the family went on the Star Wars ride, and while we were gone she ran into Buzz Lightyear!
Jace LOVES Buzz Lightyear. At home he is always dressed up as Buzz or Dash.
Grandma was suppose to be getting our fast pass tickets for a different ride but decided to stand in line to meet Buzz.
By the time I found her after my ride Jace was the next one in line. I made it just in time to take pictures.

Jace was so excited. The first thing he did was point to his shirt and say: "This is you Buzz!"
He wore his Buzz shirt both days at Disneyland, just in case he saw him.

I LOVE Buzz too, because he made my 3 year olds day at Disneyland!

Thank You Grandma for making it happen!!!

Disneyland!!

The Hobi Hobbit is sending us to Disneyland for 3 days!!

 

Hobbit sends Grandma Trena!

 

 

 

 

The Hobi Hobbit pulled a fast one and emailed a second message Sunday evening.(read below)
We were totally shocked to see Grandma Trena standing at the door! She said a "magic car" drove her from Utah too! She had instructions in a letter to pack for 3 days.
She was just as excited to see us. She thought we were still in Connecticut!

You have another visitor coming your way.

This one I’m sending to you to stay.

Go take a bath and get some good rest

For tomorrow I will reveal the very BEST!

It’s Aunt Jessica’s Birthday and I do like her too

So take her and your visitor along with you.

Remember I hear it when you fight

Be kind to each other and stay in bed at night!

Tomorrow I’ll send you magic you’ll always remember

a camera you’ll need- be sure to tell Ember.

Hobi Hobbit sends family!

 

Sunday morning we awoke to instructions to be at a certain location for Brunch.
When we arrived we ran into the CHRISTIANSENS from Utah!

How does the Hobi Hobbit do it?

We enjoyed spending the day with them.

They were in San Diego attending a Teachers Convention.

Grandma Kathy said she received a note from a Hobbit to go there for lunch too.

Wipe Out!

 

We visited the Beach after meeting family for lunch. We didn't "prepare" for the beach.
Jennica and Jarom ran right out to greet it. Before I could even warn her, Jennica went under!
It was scary at first but very funny after.

See Jen get wet

 

Easter

 

Easter Bunny

 

I am finding Jace is the perfect age for all the festiivities. He is interested in it all. Jarom and Jennica enjoy the atmosphere but are ready to move on more quickly.

Meltdown

It is obvious we are NOT in Connecticut anymore!

We’ve enjoyed the warmth of California. Yesterday we did our best considering the three hour time difference and serious lack of sleep. (Meltdown #1)

We went to an IMAX movie theatre and watched Monsters vs. Aliens with 3D glasses. Wow! That was carzy. I loved the effects but didn’t enjoy the movie.

We ended the day with Pete cooking fantastic Ribs! Yum!

This morning we woke up with more from the Hobi Hobbit.
He left the kids Easter baskets with tickets to an Easter Egg Hunt this afternoon, and some fun little Easter eggs of our own to hide.

It’s SUN, SUN, SUN today. It’s reaching 78 degrees. (Meltdown #2)

I can’t wait to dethaw in the sun. I’ve been looking forward to this all winter.

Pictures from yesterday:


Jennica and Auntie Jess.
Jen LOVES her! These two are more alike than Jen and I are. I think Jen really belongs to her.


Sam, Jess, Jen

Hobi Family- sleep deprived and FULL!
