Jackson's 5th Birthday Dinner

We took Jackson to the Spaghetti Factory for his 5th Birthday Dinner with Nana and Papa Pedersen, Auntie Erin, Auntie Heidi and the Diseth Clan.

Parker, Jackson, Sophia & Ellee waiting patiently to be seated.

Ellee and Parker decided they were going to give eachother a big smooch at dinner.

So cute!

This one had to work hard to be patient and understanding that is was NOT her Birthday yet.

Easter Egg Hunt

I took Jackson and Ellee to an Easter Egg Hunt and they had a blast!

Ellee showing off the eggs she had found.

Jackson stopped looking for eggs for a quick second to get a picture.

Checking out the loot!

Ellee was so excited to find candy inside of her eggs. She would pause after opening each egg and try to eat the candy.

Ellee's Lingo

I have to start documenting this stuff more often.

Ellee is always either saying the funniest things or has her own way of pronouncing something.

Here is a little key:

1. Swimswoop = Swimsuit


2. Brudder = Brother


3. Cocker = Parker


4. Pear Pears = Care Bears


5. Shortcake = Strawberry Shortcake


6. Biaper = Diaper

7. moobie = movie

8. oovie = movie

9. affles = waffles

#7 and #8 confuse Shawn and I. When we correct her and have her try to say movie the right way she will trade off saying moobie and oovie. I LOVE this little girl....even when she says, "Stop it! Mommy!" and when I ask her if she has to go on the potty and she says, "No Thank You."

A Little Vaca in Palm Desert!

What a much needed vacation for Shawn and I. We haven't been on a vacation together without the kids.....EVER! We went with our friends the Feltus's and had a great time!

A HUGE Thank You goes to my Sister Erin and Shawn's Parents for watching our little munchkins! We love you guys!

We went out one night for our friend Dara's 30th Birthday and had a blast!

Trig & Dara

The Girls

The guys enjoyed the beautiful weather in the morning golfing.

Dara and I spent our mornings getting coffee, shopping and laying poolside...some of my favorite things....all in one day!

Happy St. Patty's Day 2010

May you find your own Pot of Gold!

Here's a look at mine!

Happy Saint Patty's Day from our Family to Yours!

Where's Ellee?

What is she doing now?

After Ellee got in the cupboard she wanted me to close it! I was thinking- Seriously, aren't you afraid of the dark? I guess not!

Winter Dress-Up

Ellee found the winter stash and they both decided to play dress-up!
