Pictures from The San Diego Temple

I am so bad at taking pictures. Here are a few from our visit to the San Diego Temple. I can't wait to see the pictures the photographer took...or Marie's pictures....And then we did manage to get a really GREAT picture after they came out of the temple. The Happy Bride and Groom! Not sure that I have ever met to people more in love! We are so happy for them!

Teach them Young

So, I thought it would be fun to let Julianna color with her cousin Maebry. I made a picture of the Letter "B" and things that start with "B".. When I sat her down to color the face she made was priceless....."I am only 1, and I you want me to do this????"

Disneyland

We decided to take Julianna to Disneyland for our 5 yr Anniversary! Oh man, we had so much fun! Julianna loved seeing all the cahracters and the rides. Her first two rides were Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. Well, that is the side we Started on. We then took her to more kid friendly rides. She looked like she was getting nauseous on the Carousel and then she fell asleep on It's A Small World! She loved the bands and music. Every time we heard a band play or heard Music playing we would let her out and just let her Dance! We were so exhausted at the end of the day.... But so worth it!

a few more Disneyland pictures...

Our Garden

So we did it! We finally planted a garden.. A little late in the season, but oh well. We bought some plants already established and some we started with just seeds. We love taking care of it and watching everything grow! we have, Cucumber, Sweet Onions, Green Onions, Carrots, Lettuce, Tomatos, Bell Peppers, Jalapeno peppers, Banana Peppers, Yellow Squash, Zuccini, Watermelon, Cantalope, and Corn. And today we are going to put Pumpkin seeds in the ground...Can't wait to see what our water bill is going to be.....

Julianna's feeds the Ducks...

This Day we went to go visit my Grandpa and there is a little pond with lots of Ducks. Julianna was loving it.... She wanted to chase them all over. I was afraid she would fall and tumble down the hill into the pond. She she did not like me holding on to her hand. Then she wanted to go into the lake, and when I wouldn't let her... She had the biggest melt down EVER! We had to leave because she was screaming to loud, I was afraid the old people would think I was kidnapping her or something crazy....

Julianna's First Birthday

So Our Precious Baby turned 1! She started walking a week after Her Birthday.... WE had Cake with My side of the family and then Family DInner and More Cake with Robert's side of the family. She didn't like the white cake as much as she liked the Chocolate cake. Guess she is my daughter afterall...I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!! We Bought her one of those little crazy coupe cars and She absolutely loved it! She was up until 11pm the night we bought it. She wouldn't get out of it. What a GREAT investment for us! That car entertains her for hours! She doesn't like to share it though. When her cousins paly with it, or touch it.. She says " NO! NO! NO!!!!!" And trys to take their hands off the car....Anyhow! It has been a Great Year and we are so blessed! We love her so much and look forward to all the many fun times yet to come! Happy Birthday Baby!

Julianna's First Birthday con't

Being a mom!

So with Mothers day next weekend I just can't stop thinking about how lucky I am! I always wanted to be a mom, and for a while I never thought I would get the chance. I look at Julianna and think how precious and perfect she is. She is so much fun, I love all the special little ways she shows me she loves me. Like when I go in to get her in the middle of the night, how she holds my neck so tight....as if she is saying, "Please don't put me down!" When I nurse her back to sleep, the sweet litte way she rubs my arm for comfort! Our little "Lap Baby" her Daddy calls her, because she is so happy to just be sitting on my lap! I can't beleive it has almost been a year. She is the most wonderful Mothers day gift, being born the day before Mother's day! And coming home with my precious baby on my first Mothers day! I love my baby girl!
