In a Nutshell

So, I've had an AWESOME break. Really relaxing. And fun. And perfect.

And I'm putting a bunch of pictures on here to sum it all up.

Here's what we did while in San Diego:

Calee turned into a high school girl for New Year's.

haha.

The sisters (plus a few boys) partied it up New Year's Eve.

Took my kids (and my friend Jenny and her daughter Emerson)
to a friend's 20 acre ranch and rode ponies, pet chickens,
picked tangerines, held guinea pigs, got dirty, and
had a great time.


Me and Jenny. We go way back. And Ryah and Emerson are
like 4 days apart, and she's pregnant with #2. Notice her adorable baby belly.

I hung out with BRANDON DINSBACH...a friend

from BYU who I haven't seen in 7 YEARS.

How am I possibly old enough to not have seen people in 7 YEARS?!

It was awesome to see him. And kick his trash in air hockey.

And yes, he really is THAT tall...

We watched Ryah make ridiculous faces while eating...

Weird British doctors flew across the waters from ENGLAND to hang

out with weird sister who has been chatting it up with him...that's right, people.

We talked with British accents the entire time.

And Jet gets a thumb's up from me. Way to go.

And, oops, these pictures are in reverse order. Oh well.

We went to Disneyland (SO CROWDED).

This is us on the way back to the car.

Three tired girls...

Meeting Mr. Mouse.

Taylen got a princess makeover and met

three real princesses. She was on cloud nine.

Seriously, look at her face. So happy. :)

Getting her princess makeup after

her hair got done.

Ryah chowing down on some cotton

candy. She was definitely not sticky at all

after this.

We went hiking at Daly Ranch

by my parents' house.

Calee and I with an angel or something.

I got my hair cut and colored.

Love it.

Sweet baby :)

And there was so much more, but I'm not going to post all of it. I'm feeling rejuvinated and ready to take on 2009! I am so happy that 2008 is over...

Come on 2009...you're my year :)
