the good life...

Did I mention that we have been living in ca for most of the winter? Oh of course I didnt, I haven't updated in months.duh. Well anyway, we have been out here since christmas minus a few weeks so that johnny can train with his partner in san diego. It has been soooo nice. I am glad we got at least got to skip out on at least one winter bc we will have many more utah winters to endure in years to come.The kids have loved playing outside everyday. It is seriously really sad to me that half of our life gets cut out due to the cold winters in utah, so we'll enjoy it while we can:) Cant wait for summer!!!

can those faces get any cuter!!?
Beck has been to disneyland around 10 times, but this was beck's first time trying out the swings st the park and he obviously loooved it. He pretty much laughed the whole time. I love watching all of his firsts:)


I think they are starting to look alike! What do you thing=k!?


Ivy changes her outfit atleast 3 times a day. 2 of those outfits are usually something frilly or something of the princess sort.



this kid is obsessed with everything ball. HE LOVES THEM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.

beck looooves bella. He yells her name all day long. It is hilarious. Oh no, we've got another dog lover in the fam. I am totally out numbered!
i have no idea how she has become such a poser! oh wait..yes I do, she is a clone of me at that age.
what the heck beck! You are 1 years old, pretty sure you are not allowed to razor until you are at least 3! This baby of ours is trying to jump the gun.

christmas 2010

We spent christmas this year at the clarky's house. We had such a great time. We were all very spoiled. Ivy got her first American girl doll, Laney, which was a huge hit. Looks like we got roped in into this American girl doll business. I was never into them when I was little, so its a whole new world to me, yes..it is a world in itself. My favorite present from the clark's was our shark steam mop. I looooove it. Johnny gave me a new pair of toms and an awesome camera bag/purse that I have been wanting, and a trip to florida!.I gave him clothes, and a signed BYU basketball which he was totally stoked about. A few days after christmas we headed down to az. My mom gave us the most beautiful quilt ever! She made one for all of the married couples. It took her months to make them! We also got a 3 month supply of food storage, which we totally needed!!! Another great christmas:)







The day after xmas while everyone was still in town, jolly's friend took us sailing in the san diego bay! Even though it was extremely frigid, we sipped our hot chocolate and had ourselves a great time.

Beck's little man party

the invite made by my cousin natalie















AND HE'S DONE!

Birthday's are kind of a big deal in our family. Especially 1st birthday's!I know I take them a little too seriously, but after all, a birthday is to celebrate the day one is born, and that is a big.freakin.deal. Our family is completely obsessed with this little man, and cannot imagine life without him. We were so lucky to be in Az for beck's 1st birthday surrounded by our family and our best friends there to join us. We even had family travel from CA to attend! We are the luckiest. I decided to throw him a "little man party." It was the most fitting theme for our little grandpa beck. I loved how everything turned out. I built the party around 1 thing. Mustaches. Oh how I love them. We had mustache cupcakes and cake, mustache sugar cookies, mustache photo booth, and lets not forget the mustache snow globe-- Leave it up to Urban outfitters on that find:) If it didn't have to do with mustaches, it was anything old man. A HUGE thanks to my graphic design cousin Natalie who made my dreams into reality:) on paper:) she is awesome. and also to my mamma, who just about killed me for being so darn OCD. haha:) And thank you to all of our friends who came to honor our little beck!

Halloweeny 2010

Halloween 2010 was a good one. Missy decided to be tinkerbell, but not just any tink...she wanted to be the "lost treausre tink, you know..the more adventurous one. Bc she is exactly that. A total nature freak and loves a good adventure. She wore boots instead of princess shoes to distinguish the two, and corrected people that thought she was just tinkerbell:) I tried to persuade her to be something scary like a witch, but there is no talkin this girl out of being some sort of princess. It just wasnt gonna happen. So Tink she was. Beckham on the other hand didnt have much of a choice. I made him a dragon. And omg, he was the cutest little dragon you ever saw. Every time I looked at him, i could not stop smiling. Boy stuff is so funny.






my fav:) That little round face sticking out of that dragon with the two little teeth, will be hanging big on my wall.
