Sea World

For Christmas Jaedyn, Ashlyn and I used our Christmas money from Grampy and Barbara to purchase a year pass to Sea World. It was super fun with lots to see and lots to touch. Jaedyn got to touch a dolphin and Ashlyn touched the manta rays. They also have a new section with a gigantic climbing structure for Jaedyn. Ashlyn hung out with Karson and Lilly while I climbed up some serious ropage with Jaedyn!

Flowers and Freckles

Santa brought me a new lens for my camera and I'm officially in love with it. I can't wait to actually use it somewhere other than inside of my condo, but in the meantime here are some pictures that I took this past week. It's nice for profiles and super nice for colorful flowers. Thank you, Santa. :)





I took this when poor Ashlyn had the stomach flu. This just about sums it up right here.



If Jaedyn could have Patches glued to his lips 24 hours a day, I think he would have them permanently affixed.

Happy New Year

We spent New Years Day at the beach in Del Mar per Jaedyn's request. Rob was just starting to feel better and apparently the stomach flu was just getting ready to secretly to attack the rest of us. Anyway it was super fun, but the best part of all was the absolutely amazing sunset. Without a doubt it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen (and if you know me well enough..I am a sunset stalker). Happy New Year!












A fun game of chase...one of Jaedyn and Ashlyn's favorite games with Dad.













From start to finish...it just got better and better. It was not only the most beautiful sunset, but the longest most beautiful sunset EVER!

A few happy moments in the last days of 2009...

Too much turkey

Ashlyn who is usually pretty good on her feet apparently had too much turkey for Christmas.
