Disney with Dad!!!!

 Rick picked Mia up on Wednesday from preschool

and off they went to Disneyland for 3 days. He was so funny.

He made sandwiches every night to take for lunches and 

they were troopers. He said she didn't get tired of it AT ALL. It's funny

the difference a year makes, because I think she is a perfect age now.

Rick even took her back to the hotel each day to chill and nap

so they could make it all night. She loved every minute. On Saturday,

they went to Disney and were going to leave when she was done, get in 

her pjs and head home. Well they were in the park at 6:45 am and at 7, Rick

said he was ready. She said but dad you told me I could stay until I was ready.

Haha. She finally tired her dad out. I don't know if I could've done 3 days. 

What a great dad! She will never forget this trip :)

 The best thing about this time of year is the one on one

time you get because it's not as crowded. I never get to

go because I have work, but Rick said it will be hard to go in

the summer or Spring Break now knowing how much better it is

in the winter.

 She is so tall that she can ride on everything and she loved

it. She sent me some videos of the rollercoasters and she was having a blast!

 Of course as you can imagine, most of the time was spent

at Carsland. This girl is OBSESSED with the Disney Cars.

She collects all the die casts and I think we are up to 120 of them.

I think it's adorable. She will play for 3-4 hours with her cars every day. It's too cute.

 Of course all kids LOVE staying at hotels and 

Mia is no exception. She kept saying, this 

hotel is so elegant dad :)

 Loving on her dad. He told me she kept saying,

I love you so much dad. Thanks for taking me here...

 They got to watch tons of parades

 And of course Disney at night

 They even got to eat at Flo's Cafe- YUM!!

 Even at 11pm she's still happy as can be.

 Her favorite ride, the one with the Cars, it looked awesome in

the video.

 dance party

They had an amazing trip. She got home midnight on
Saturday night and I asked, "Did you have fun? " She said
"I had too much fun!! "

Santa

 Last Saturday we took Mia to Bass Pro to see Santa and all the fun

decorations they have there. She told me she forgot to tell him 

everything she wanted, but I said she would be able to write it in her Santa letter :)

Afterwards we went to this super cute parade in Downtown

Boulder City. It lasted an hour and a half! It was awesome. We will

definitely be doing that every year. Rick took Mia to Disneyland Wednesday

after preschool and he won't be back until Saturday night. You would think I would

have tons of time to myself, but after working all day, getting stuff ready at work to go

on maternity leave, and finally getting home, it's flown by. I'm so excited to see pictures and hear 

her adventures.She is having a blast and of course hugging and loving on her dad constantly telling

him thank you for taking her on this daddy daughter trip. He said it's melting his heart. I don't think

she will ever forget it :)

Thanksgiving

 A few attempts at a family pic! Everyone came to Grandma's 

house for Thanksgiving. It was awesome! Mia was in heaven

with all the grandkids. We didn't even see her all weekend, she 

was so busy playing non-stop. We got to eat my mom's yummy food,

hang out with the babies, guys got to play, and we all had a blast! Thanks for

driving here Nicole and Kevin. I know it's far for you :)

 Grandkid pic, one more coming in about 2 months :)

 Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids

 The guys got to go shooting Thanksgiving morning and

riding on dirt bikes and Razors on Friday.

 We did tons of crafts with the kids on Thanksgiving

We made tortilla tepees, placemats, turkeys, and more!

 Laith wouldn't sit still enough to get a picture, he kept

saying so fun with cousins. It was cute!

 Kyse so stinking cute and smiles all day.

 Marlee who has finally gotten use to me and smiles all the time :)

 Rick and I ( me 30 weeks)

 kids at the table for Thanksgiving ( Laith was running around somewhere haha)

And look at this cute little thing- Jay 7 weeks and perfect.
It was such nice weather that we even turned on the jucuzzi and
all the kids got in it. It was funny! They had a blast :) It was a great weekend..

Halloween Fun and More

 Mia's adorable preschool pictures

 Awwwwww

 she looks soooo big :)

 Mia's cute soccer pic!

 team pic

Mia's cute Primary Program Picture- she's in the front row

in the cute grey cardigan...

 First time of many getting dressed up

for Halloween. Yup a girl race car driver.

 I wore a "Warning I BITE" shirt to school.

 Mia got to decorate pumpkins while I sat at a 3 hour 

glucose test on my day off. After that, I got to my car starving

and my battery was dead! To say I didn't start bawling right there 

would be a lie, so I got to wait for Rick to come and pick me up

during which I resorted to eating 3 hard Sponge Bob fruit snacks

in Mia's carseat. Anyway, I lived, Rick didn't feed me for 2 more hours,

but I managed to eat and we got some 3d pictures of the baby that I will post soon.

 Bear had to be in the pic

 More pics of my cute little race car driver!

She was beyond excited to be this and was

so funny walking around giving thumbs up and 

being serious. While trick or treating, she kept

getting called a little boy ( she's in all pink people)

but she's used to it, because last year, she was in a dinosaur

costume and got the the same thing!

 We went to my school's Spooktacular carnival.

 She got to do tons of carnival games and eat pizza.

 Then Rick took her to her school carnival where she got 

to do a parade.

 play games

 eat pizza

 have a class party

 and hang out with dad- he's getting sad about next 

year, because he said he won't have any control, he's been taking her

and picking her up from preschool for 2 years now and next year,

she will be coming with me to school. He's still going to try and walk

her to school as much as possible though.

 Mia's teacher Miss Kelly who she loves

 Then we went to Roosnmore where all the animals 

got dressed up for Halloween

 They even had the camel painted

 And then we got to see out favorite monkey

 He was acting all crazy and then the owner told him

I had a baby in my belly, so he layed on my lap and put 

his thumb in his mouth like a baby and was rubbing my

belly. It was too cute!

 Very few zoos where you can hold everything

 baby armadillo

 baby fox-she had a blast...

Prego pic: 27 weeks and to say that this 

week was exhausting with Halloween, wild kids,

and being tired is an understatement. Hopefully the weekend goes nice and slow..
