Happiest Place on Earth....

Well we are back from sunny Florida. We had such a wonderful time in Florida! The weather was great and the company was even better! Thanks Trent and Lori for such a great family trip. We went to the beach, sea world and Disney world. Cam and I even got a trip into the Orlando Temple, it was so beautiful. I can't even begin to write about all the fun things we did.

Poor Aleksandra, she didn't have any naps in a crib on vacation- we were playing too hard. But she slept like a doll in her stroller.Family photo at sea world, actually turned out super cute.

Not a fan of Shamu- but at least we knew not to stand in any lines a Disney world to see any characters...

A picture is worth a 1,000 words. First time I ever touched a dolphin, check an item off my life to do list. And I got to feed some dolphins too. Now I just need to save my money so I can swim with dolphins someday.

Cam and Aleksandra at the dolphin pool.

These were the best mouse ears Brook and I found.

Aleksandra LOVED the ocean. It was all we could to do keep her from diving in by herself! It was pretty cool that day but she didn't care she just wanted to swim.

She kept diving down and trying to go out deeper in the water!

At the end of our day at Disney.

Like father like daughter, Cam and Aleksandra LOVE to eat popcorn. Here they are waiting for the light parade to start.

Cam and Brook after their ride on the tea cups. It was a little more than Cam bargained for.

Not sure what to say, I just love this picture.

Poor peachie- she was so tired!

Aleksandra's dress was my first project on my brand new sewing machine! Thanks mom and dad!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! We have had a great year this year! Cameron spent the summer in Russia, while Aleksandra and I spent time with family in Utah. Aleksandra learned to sit, crawl, walk, run, talk, yell, kiss, hug, eat by herself, read books, sing and many other things. I started my tile business and have been busy working part time as well. How do you sum up a year in a paragraph? Here are some things we have done since Christmas.

Aleksa spending a few last minutes with grandpa and grandma.I love that they have matching expressions! How does that happen?!Yes, we finally have hair long enough for pigtails, now if we could just get her to leave her hair in any kind of ponytail. Until we get her to leave her ponytails in she'll look a little rag tag.Happy New Year! Here we are in our party hats ready to party. And pary we did until about 8:30 pm when Aleksa and I crashed, Cam hung out by himself. Cam woke me up at midnight after many protests and I stayed awake long enough for a kiss and some sparkling cider and then back to sleep.... poor Cam...What a little crazy... see cute hair gone... but she is still a cutie. Not one of our better family pictures but I made a resolution to take family pictures regardless of whether we all look great or not.
We had a tim's pizza and root beer to celebrate- just looking at our picture makes me hungry- Cam says that tim's is almost as good as Heise pizza for those of you who have had Heise pizza. I just think it is fabulous!

We still have our tree up and this is the reason that we can't take it down, Aleksandra loves the lights so much!
