California

So here we are...back in Utah! I loved every minute of California but I must admit, I am a Utah baby!

I am going to post a quick run down of what we did for your entertainment and my memory! I took 147 pictures (too many to post) so I will post some of my favorites to go along with the day! ENJOY!

Wednesday: We flew out at 4:30.

Jack was so excited to get on the plane!

Missing 2 boys...!

Jack was the only kid on the plane flying out so, he was invited to meet the Pilots and see the cockpit!
I just love this innocent picture!

We got to California at 5:30, we were so excited to see Jaden and Grandma Marilyn we didn't get the camera out! We left the airport pretty quick, checked into our beautiful hotel and went to dinner. We had plans to do lots of things the first night BUT we were all so tired we called it a night around 9. The boys stayed at my Mom's house every night but 1...it was a nice break!

Thursday: I was a bit messed up with the time change, (I know only 1 hour, lame huh)... so I got up at 4:30am, got some coffee and sat by the pool til Ben woke up! My Mom picked us up and we were off to breakfast!

After breakfast... off to DISNEYLAND!!!

As I said before... I took WAY too many pictures, these are ONLY A FEW of my favorites!This is the most tired PIRATE I have ever seen. This was the only night Jack stayed with us and he was so easy, he didn't move all night!

Friday: Again... coffee outside by the pool early in the morn ALONE! Then off to spend the day and night at the beach! We played in the water and sand all day, the boys LOOOOOVED it!

Then we had a fire, my Mom made us the best tin foil dinners. We even roasted marshmellows and made smores! It was so yummy, fun and relaxing!
Saturday we went fishing, played in the pool and to a nice dinner! (I'm so done adding pictures, if you want to see more check out my facebook!

Sunday we went to breakfast, went to the swap meet and off to the airport!

What we've been up to...

We are preparing for our trip to CALIFORNIA, only 2 more days!
I can't wait to go to Disneyland!
Jaden left last Sunday the 22... yes, that's right...8 days ago. We have missed him so much, he is having lot's of fun but is getting (in his own words) "really HOME SICK." He has been to SEA WORLD, the BEACH, LEGO LAND and tomorrow... KNOTTS BERRY FARM.


With Jack spending the weekend with his Dad and Jensen not coming over til Saturday we have had a peaceful few days!However, we always look forward to having our babies back in our arms!

My Friends and Me!!

Candace, and I have decided to make it a monthly things to go get a pedicure!

It is so much fun relaxing, visiting & laughing.

This time we invited Mindy, she is due to have her baby in 2 days... we were hoping the massage would start her labor BUT no such luck!

How cute! Mindy... I think Krue might be a basketball!!

On to the BODY PIERCING... Yes, that is what I said!!!

Ben decided to get his nipples pierced professionally (not like when he was a kid and did it himself then sported his Mom's jewelry!!!) So, off to the Nail Jail we went!

I took this picture thru the door knob hole, I was feeling so sneaky!

Aunt Shauna is looking at him like "are you sure you wanna do this?"
Rylee is ready to get this done!

I'm not sure about this picture BUT they Ben looks like he is up to something!! LOL

Rylee explaining to her Mom that "it's not a big deal."

It really wasn't at the time BUT they sure hurt that evening!

Last week Jensen Ding had DOUBLE ear infections AND... Hand Foot & Mouth virus. He felt horrible!

Resting in Daddy's arms, the safest place in the world!

The other morning, I went upstairs to check on Jensen and this was what I found...

How freakin' sweet is that!!

In the down time, this is what my silly A$$ boyfriend does...!

He is addicted to this PS3 game called Call of Duty, it's a war game. Whenever he sits down to play it, he say's "Babe?...I gotta go to war."

What a nerd!!

So, that is what we have been up to the last few days.

I will post again when we get back from CALI!!!!!!

My Valentines Present

Valentines was a little different this year! Since we were "kidless" on Friday...yes, the 13th... I decided that I would give Ben a day full of surprises! It started out with a treasure hunt that lasted from 6 AM - 10 PM. His day was full of candy and hints! After work we went to dinner at Teppanyaki with our favorites Lydia & Stephan, after we wnt to the Monster Trucks at the Energy Solutions Arena. We had a great time! On Valentines Day we got together with Ben's whole family and did family pictures! I can't wait til Saturday to see them, and share them.
I was a little sad that evening because my dear Ben didn't acknowledge Valentines Day. It's really not that big of a deal but I'm a girl with lots of hormones! Sunday came and he gave me my gift... I have been wanting a tattoo that means a lot to me. It has the name "Jean" in it because that is the middle name of 2 of the most important people in my life... My Mom, Marilyn and my Amazing Grandma Shirley. Grandma died 16 years ago but I still look up to her and she still inspires me every day! My Mom is also an amazing person that has stood by me thru thick and thin. This is some of the reasons this tattoo meant so much to me!
Back to Valentines... On Snday Benny told me he bought my tattoo!! I was so excited! Last night we went and got it, Ben was so sweet, we had a great time with eachother!

Thanks babe, I love it almost as much as I love you and our boys!!
