Antelope Island

Here are some random photos of our quick getaway to Antelope Island state park.

Movie Night

Johnny set up his projector in our front room for the kids to watch a movie. We decided to share the fun with some of our neighbor friends, the Teeples. The kids had fun watching "Peter Pan" and eating popcorn.

Where are you Mommy?

Homework

Why can't kids just sit "Normal" on a chair while doing
homework? I think my dad would have said the same thing
about me when I was her age!

Breakfast

I laid in my bed, not wanting to face another day. I pretended to sleep until 8:45 when I was awoken by Janessa. She told me they had a wonderful surprise for me. I had wondered what they could have been up to since they were being EXTREMELY quiet. I knew Lea was awake but I assumed the kids had all gone into Isaac's room and turned on a movie. Boy was I mistaken.
Janessa led me down the stairs with my eyes closed. We reached the kitchen and I opened my eyes as she yelled, "Tada!" There I saw the most scrumptious breakfast of all! A hard boiled egg, string cheese, and water! We were so lucky!
The kids knew Johnny & I have been trying to eat healthy, unfortunately we only had one hard boiled egg in the fridge. I was very relieved that they didn't try to make more! I just had to take pictures to show how darn sweet they are!

Just in case you cannot read the notes they say,

"Mom Dad this is Janessa I decided to clean the house in the kitchen early today Love Janessa"
"We made breakfast for Mom and Dad, enjoy. Love Isaac, Lea, and Janessa"

Too cute!

The Dentist

Isaac had to get some fillings at the Dentist. His cheek was REALLY numb and we were having too much fun watching him.

He was kind of shy! Ha!

Christmas in Cali

"Harry Christmas" was the phrase we used on Christmas Day. It was the Harry Family Reunion in San Diego. Mom and Dad were generous enough to give us all a City Pass to three different parks for Christmas. We went to SeaWorld on Christmas Day, we got severely rained out, and for five days after that we got to go to the San Diego Zoo and also the Wild Animal Park. It was a BLAST! We had so much fun seeing the sights as well as just being together, and eating at our favorite restaurants! Here are some of the highlights of our trip! Keep in mind, John had the camera and when that happens there are WAY too many pictures of animals and not enough of the family!

Lisa & the Nephews & Nieces

Lisa @ SeaWorld being very patient with all of us.

This year we celebrated Christmas early with the Trimming Family. John and Norma were headed to Maui for a family wedding and to spend Christmas with Tutu (Grandma). We had so much fun with our family. We ate lunch at China Platter then went back to Grandma Trimming's house for presents. Thank you to them for such a wonderful Christmas!
