Jaylin is 5!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful princess Jaylin. She turned 5 in January. I can't believe how big and grown up she is. She wanted french toast for her birthday breakfast so daddy got up early to make it for her and the rest of the family. Jaylin was so surprised when she came downstairs and saw her brand new princess bike that she had been wanting since her 4th birthday. She also got a birthday card from Nanny (Ashley's mom) and it had a princess crown in it that she couldn't wait to wear. This year Jaylin wanted to go to Trafalga for her birthday, they have rides and a rock climbing wall, put put golf, and laser tag. It was a lot of fun. She had a lot of her friends come to celebrate with her and of course it was princess themed so I went all out on her cake and ordered a special disney princess cake that she loved!!! I was a fun and special birthday for her. This post is a picture overload post. hope you enjoy!

Christmas 2010

I know this post is way past due. This Christmas was a lot of fun for our family. My parents stayed with us this Christmas which made it extra special. I think they had a lot of fun watching the kids open all their presents and enjoyed opening a few surprise presents themselves. We had a ward Christmas party with hot chocolate and lots of desserts. We went to my sisters house on Christmas Eve for our family annual Christmas party and ate great food, read the Christmas Story, sang songs, and ... Santa came with presents for the little kids. When we got home the "elves" had brought early presents to us, they were jammies for everyone. David was trying to figure out how the elves got to our house to bring the jammies. It was really cool, he was so into the "Magic" of Christmas this year. We had a buffet to munch on all day, watched movies, played games and just hung out together as a family.

Trick or Treat!!!

Sorry this post is so far behind. We had a lot of fun this year for Halloween. First everyone got their own little pumpkins to gut out and carve. We had our ward Halloween Party and ate some good chili and the kids went trick or treating around the cultral hall. Then we went with our friends to the Gateway Mall in Salt Lake to trick or treat around the stores and then the Kids Museum at the Gateway had a fun full day of Halloween activities for the kids so we stopped over there for a few hours. And of course trick or treating around our neighborhood. Can I just say the kids got a ton of candy this year. It was a lot of fun.

We went to California Adventure Park and had a good time there, but it's no Disneyland. We saw the water show and what can I say, but it was amazing. I've never seen anything like it. We spent another day at Disneyland as well and had a great time. Also during this trip David had a Tae Kwon Do tournament. My instructor Master Shin was hosting the tournament and so Yai and the kids got to meet my tkd teacher. David did a great job and we are so proud of him. It was a fun tournament and vacation.
