We couldn't have asked for a better neighborhood. And we all moved here not even knowing what joy the years would hold. Now one of our group has left :( We will miss them so much and I am certain we will think of them when we are outside every afternoon. Bye bye Wootons!
My niece had the cutest princess party for her 5th birthday. The girls had so much fun doing all of the activities that Aunt Julie planned. Irelyn especially had fun with her favorite cat CeeCee. If anyone has a cat, Irelyn would love to cuddle it. Becky- I'll be in touch :)
Thursday!!! This week has gone so slow and I've had way too much to do. Those of you that know me know that I'm pretty mellow, don't get upset easily, and try to be nice to people- is that true? If not please let me know. Anyways, yesterday really got to me and I'm still not over it yet. I won't go into details, but it was just one of those days. I will be super happy when this week is over and I can enjoy the weekend with my husband and daughter. And I'm waiting for the rain to come, but it seems the weather forecasters might be wrong (gasp!) So, for now I'm in my robe, sipping coffee and cuddling with Irelyn. I think I've been given at least 20 kisses this morning. Love her!!!!
Do you ever get that feeling that something is just not right? After a busy morning of cooking, cleaning, and the park I now find myself with that feeling. I consider myself to be somewhat intuitive and it's not uncommon to get this feeling, but I am very annoyed when I can't figure out where it is coming from. Ugghh...
A beautiful and warm day at the beach with friends
An impromptu dinner with the neighbors
I am so happy to say that I am no longer irritated at Disneyland! After our bad experience last Monday we went back on Sunday and were apologized to, given extra stuff, and George was able to enjoy Sunday as if it was his birthday. Some of the birthday extras throughout the park are really cool. So, it ended up great and Irelyn and I wore Honorary Citizen of Disneyland pins and got some cool perks too. This picture is Irelyn at Pixie Hollow again doing a Tinker pose with Tinker Bell. Now, she goes around the house showing us poses that all the fairies do.
What do you do when your husband is playing poker on a Friday night? SCRAPBOOK! I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have any albums since Irelyn was born. I have boxes of pictures I've printed out, thousands of sheets of paper, stickers, stamps- you name it I have it. It's just the time of laying it all out and actually doing it. Well, last night I got a great start. Now I just need to continue and get these finished. I'm not a huge scrapbooking person so my pages aren't too exciting, just cute and simple.
What else is new? Hmmm not much really. George is still home a lot since soccer hasn't really started back up yet. We have been able to do so many family activities the past month. His schedule will get more busy beginning the end of February and then the traveling starts again. Hopefully we(or just me!) can join him for a trip or two.
George is taking Irelyn for a trial gymnastics class next week- hopefully she will like it. She is always a little hesitant about new things. Irelyn has been so funny lately- a lot of one liners, funny comments and stuff. Last night at dinner George and I were talking and she said "I'm waaaiiiting to be part of a conversation!" Then she told us what she wanted to talk about and then had each person take a turn talking. She was like a little moderator. She's is so funny because she acts and speaks beyond her years, but in other areas she is just a typical 4 year old.
I'd love to be sleeping in this morning. I'm off to make some coffee and then we are going to the park to ride bikes/scooters again. And this evening, George and I get 7 whole hours to ourselves. What will we do?! :)
We went to Disneyland for George's birthday on Monday. If you don't already know, Disneyland is having that thing where you get in free on your birthday this year. If you have an annual pass other things apply...I'm a little irritated at Disneyland right now- I will get back to you about the events and if they are resolved. Here are some pictures from the afternoon
Coldstone! Mmmmmmmm
George and I have known each other for almost 15 years and have been together for 13 of them. We've celebrated many birthdays and have both changed a lot over the years. This year has been great and I'm so happy to have a wonderful husband that I love so much.
Here is what I love about George:
Today was sort of a lazy, fun day. Tomorrow is George's 36th Birthday and tonight we went out to dinner at Mongolian BBQ. George has been going there for his birthday since he was about 12...we have been going there together since 1996. However, our times there are not limited to birthdays. :) See my Mongolian BBQ post a few months ago...
I think they were wondering what was going to happen when we counted down to 1
Really blurry but so cute. Irelyn is covered in silly string:)
