Beach Bums

While in California we stayed with Lani's family and had a great time getting to know them better. Sadie developed a little crush on Connor, Lani's brother, and decided that Lani's sister were actually her sisters.

We had some unexpected visitors in the form of dolphins and seals. The dolphins were so close that Chris, Lani, and Josh all jumped in the water in hopes of getting to swim with them. . . they were dreaming.

At first David did not want anything to do with the sand, but he warmed up to the beach.

And we were able to meet up with Becca on the last night. It was great to catch up . . . and see her pregnant!

Disneyland

We finally followed the AZ trend and went to California for the weekend. Lani and I left with the kids a few days early, and the boys followed soon after. We went to LA's fabric/fashion district and had a blast checking out all the inexpensive fabric and notions.
The highlight of the trip was probably Disneyland. Sadie loved every ride that she could go on, but David's favorite was It's a Small World. He couldn't stop moving and smiling.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from Disneyland, and Chris and I are in quite a few of them because Lani took so many great pictures for us!

1 Year Old

A year ago we met David when he looked like this:

Now, a year later he has turned into this:

A few pics of David eating his birthday cake:

We just love this little guy and think we are so lucky to have him.

Our Sadie girl is becoming a great swimmer. She has swim from one side of the pool to the other (granted our pool is rather small) without help. She looks forward to the special time of day when we go swimming together.
I had to laugh and take a picture of this 'display' I found in her room the other day:
A few weeks ago we went camping with our ward and had a great time. Sadie looked like a little orphan who hadn't bathed in weeks.
