Easter Morn

Lizzy loved everything Easter. We told her the Easter story and then about the Easter bunny, she loved it all.

We have church at 8am, so we had to wake Lizzy up early to get her ready. She walked out to go give Dave hugs and then she saw it! Her basket! It was so cute! She was all drowsy and walking toward Dave, she passed it, spotted the basket out of the corner of her eye, did a double take and came back around to get it. It was so funny!

Then we had a mini egg hunt for her. She was so excited! She found all her eggs in no time. (Of course they were just sitting on the couches, but still...)

She found them!

Look at all of her goodies!



She just couldn't wait to eat her candy.

The Market

I am pleased to announce that our stocks are on the rise again! YAY!

I'm so heppy!

(Anyone remember how Maid Marion said that in Robin Hood Men in Tights? That's how I would have said it, if you were here.)

SO FUNNY!

Tonight for dinner we had a chicken/macaroni casserole and sliced cucumbers and ranch. Lizzy LOVES cucumbers and ranch, they are her favorite! Tonight as she was eating she saw a tiny cucumber and said, "It's a baby one!" (with a whimper) She ate it and the next one she picked up with her fork was a big piece and said, "It's the daddy one! He's going to save the baby one." And then ate it! It was so funny!

The Modern Baby

Lizzy wanted to "check her email" while she was going potty today.

Good people. Good friends.

Our week

Vegas, Disneyland, Abalone Cove, and Long Beach are some of the places we've been this last week.

Dave got home early early Friday morning! His flight was supposed to get in at 5:45am, I'd heard that they usually get in a bit early so I was going to be there at 5:30 just in case. Well, 5:25 rolls around and Lizzy and I are just a mile from our exit when I get a phone call. From Dave! He'd already landed and wandered around looking for us and then called! LAME! I didn't get to do the whole, walking off the plane picture and the hug after he runs across the tarmac to us. Whatever.

Anyways, it is so great to have him back. Lizzy can't seem to get enough of her daddy. She wants him ALL THE TIME! It's really sweet. They are a good little team already. I knew it wouldn't take long to get things back to normal.

Lizzy playing in the backyard in Vegas. She loved playing in the puddles on the sidewalk.

She loved Disneyland! She got to meet some princesses and Mickey and get her face painted and ride some rides. We figured out that Lizzy does NOT like the animal characters, only the humans. Mickey freaked her out too. Lizzy's two favorites are Dumbo's high flying ride and Alice's Tea Party (Tea Cups ride-ick. I get sick on those rides). We had such a great. We had a 3 day park hopper pass, so we went to D-land 2 days in a row. SO FUN!!!!

Riding the carousel. She'd get so excited, she'd squeal with joy!


The Dumbo ride.

Meeting Mickey.

Plotting our next move.


Alice's Tea Party! YAY!
Meeting Belle


We spent all day Saturday with Glen and Ann. They are both in a play at church so we went and watched his rehearsal. It was great! Looks like it's going to be a good one. Then we went to Abalone Cove. Dave used to go there as a kid and really wanted Lizzy to see it. The tide was really low so there were loads of tide pools, and they were filled with life! Starfish, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers, a lobster, little fish, anemones, sea urchins... we saw all sorts of things. Last time Dave and I were there (4+ years ago.) I saw an octopus! Awesome!

Lizzy loved the beach at first, then a wave came in. She didn't like that. After that, she didn't even want to set foot in the sand. It took a while, and another little boy walking in the sand to help her get back to the beach. Still, she didn't want to touch anything.

It was such a fun trip. We are having so much fun with our little family!

(I'll post more pics in a bit)
