Santa Baby

Last week we took our sweet little Zoie to see Santa, as you can tell she was totally excited to be there… I was a little worried that she would freak out when we placed her on Santa’s lap but our little bug just look at him pulled his beard and fur on his suit and then just stared at us like who is this strange man!

Lazy Sunday

How cute is this! Even though she is his little princess she still watches (or sleeps through) football all day with her dad. She even sports football wear GO STEELERS !

Cold Turkey Run

Haydn and I decided to run a race on Thanksgiving morning, what a blast! It really doesn’t matter that an old man with two knee replacements beat me, it’s all for fun.

There isn’t anything better then stuffing your face with yummy food after a race.

Hope to see you all next year…

Halloween

We rented a condo in Park City with Haydn’s family this year for Halloween. What a BLAST! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, we were able to play outside all weekend. Between the shopping, walking, football and POMP games the weekend was over way to fast.

Yes we were even blessed with a bum shot…

Fantastic food; fabulous costumes; freighting pumpkins!!

We had our pumpkin carving party last night, what a blast!! Even if I wasn’t in the Carving spirit.

Haydn was out of town, so it was just me and Zoie joining in the festivities… boy it sure was a lot harder to carve a pumpkin when I had a little one to worry about. Thank goodness I had Jane to play with the little Ziggy Piggy.

I ended up carving Bruce from Finding Nemo, both Cassie and erin had to let me know that Disney movie is the WORST… but my pumpkin sure was cute, even if the back was a little rotten.

Thanks again James for coming to the rescue and de-gutting mine

So we did it, we decided it was time to take our little bug to California… Our vacation started off with a delayed flight (that isn’t always the best start to a vacation) but once we were in sunny California all of doubts seemed to disappear, it also helped that our planes name was bippity boppity blue.

The first day Haydn decided it was a beach day; we drove to Crystal Cove near Newport Beach it was so enjoyable to lounge on the beach and watch the boy’s body surf while Zoie with no expression seemed to love the water. That night we hit the Crab Shack for some yummy food, ya know it’s just not the same eating at the one in Utah there isn’t an ocean view.

We headed back to our hotel to get showered and into bed; we had an early morning with Mickey ahead. It was about 11pm when all chaos broke loose; my sister broke into our room stating that they had bed bugs… WHAT!!! So immediately we flip on our lights and sure enough we also had some crawly little critters in our bed one was on Haydn and I took a look at Zoie and there we bugs by her head… needless to say I FREAKED out, ok we all FREAKED out and we checked out.. mind you this is our first night and all of clothing items had been contaminated so it was off to do laundry all night; we couldn’t very well go to our clean hotel rooms with contaminated luggage. Let’s just say it was a very long night, thanks Mom and James for staying up to do the last of the laundry.

The Next morning we were off to experience some Mickey and Minnie fun. We hit California Adventure. Man I sure do love the Tower of Terror and Screamin. It was a little different having a little one along for the fun; we couldn’t just run from ride to ride like we have done in the past. Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help with Zoie.

We were so lucky that Zoie was so good, she experienced her first theme park ride Monsters Inc. She LOVED it; she also went on the Ariel carousal and the new Toy Story ride..

Is there really a happier place then Disneyland?

Day Three we were off to fight the crowds at Disneyland, again Zoie was so good and she can ride anything that doesn’t have a height restriction so we took her on everything we could. After all was said and done her favorite ride was Alice In Wonderland, she loved all of the bright colors…

What ?!?

Who says chubby legs aren't cute :)
