Disneyland!!!!

We got treated to a well timed trip to Disneyland by Grandpa Dan and Grandma Rose. They are Disneyland experts after all. Cousins Tori and Desi came too so Zoie could have some real "happiest place on earth" fun. We had 3 days packed full of Disney fun, so much fun that we missed our flight back....it was alright, all 7 of us made it back on Standby. The girls were thrill seekers so we got to go on all the big rides at least 2 time, I think they got soaked by Splash Mountain at least 7 times. Anyhoo, it was great and fun and totally exhausting! My tip to you is get there early, go back for naps and swimming, and stay for the fireworks!

See what cabin fever can do?

This ......is........the........longest.........winter........ever...........

So long that Avery has perfected her Magnum PI AND 1972 Hell's Angel impersonation.

Hibernation Time is OVER, St. Pat came to wake us...

Thought we quit eh? Thank goodness for GMF, cause her cute staged photos and gentle..."would you post already?!?" brought us back. Blame the weekly snow or the new iphone (!!! I know!!!) that kept us away...we promise to try to be better.

Let it Snow...you know the rest

After what seemed like a week of nasty germs in the Calvin house, we decided to finally get out of the house and go live a little. We made it all the way to Grandpa Dan and Grandma Rose's house and did a 360 across 4 lanes of traffic on I-5 (without hitting anything but scared the pants off of me). We ended up getting snowed in, which was fabulous because it included sugar cookies, hot coffee, and yummy meals! Thank goodness for the Subaru, cabin fever strikes fast and hard.

Snowy, Snotty Birthday Baby!

Happy Birthday to Sweet Baby A!! She turned the big 0-1 on the 20th and she got a cold, all wrapped up in a virus for her big day. Well that and mountains of snow so no one could come over and help her unwrap her presents, but that's okay we all still had fun and ate cute cupcakes and squealed in delight about her new shiny toys.

We can't believe it's been a year already. We really have been blessed with the best, funniest, most adorable, and genius baby that every was. I couldn't imagine life without her or imagine how much I would love her. Happy Birthday Avery Eloise! May the sun always shine on those cute cheeks and may you never stop dancing.

A+ in the Head Department

92%! That's all brains baby...if brains were held in your cheeks like chipmunks hoard nuts. Try to not pinch them over the internets...just try to resist.
