Nap time

I put Lauren and Chase both down for a nap. I went to check on them, and couldn't resist taking a picture. Chase was asleep under his bed, and Lauren had pulled out her baby doll crib and climbed in to take a nap. I have no idea how she fit.

Disneyland!

we went down to Disneyland the first week of may. We stayed at Chad Jackson's house. (Marcus's roomate from college). He lives in Orange, so Disneyland was less than 10 min. away. This a picture of Lauren and Chad's little boy, Adam. He is so cute! It was a short, but very fun weekend. We got there friday night, went to Disneyland on saturday, and came home Sunday morning. Thanks Chad for letting us stay at your house. It was really good to see you and Amber again. Here are just a few pictures from our trip.

Lauren was asleep in the stroller, and Minnie mouse peeked her head in and woke her up. She was so happy.
She was so excited to see Jasmine. It was our first time ever seeing her at Disneyland. Afterwards, whenever she talked about Jasmine, she would say," she was showing her tummy. that's not appropriate."
Lauren is really into Pocahontas at this time. Lauren kept asking her where John Smith was. Pocahontas talked to Lauren for quite awhile. She thought Lauren was so cute, that she gave Lauren a kiss.
That was just a few of our pictures. We actually took Chase this year, and he loved it. When he talks of disneyland, he tells you that he was scared of the pirates. He never cried on the ride, but had a strong grip on Marcus's leg.

Yum Yum

Chase and Lauren helped me make Marcus's Birthday cake. Their favorite part was eating the leftover frosting.

Easter Sunday

Here are some pictures of Easter. Marcus was in Hawaii for work, so we went and had Easter with a couple of friends. The kids had so much fun, they wouldn't come in for dinner. Chase was so tired from playing, he fell asleep on the trampoline with the kids still bouncing. We had a fantastic Easter. I wasn't able to get a picture of Lauren and Chase in their Easter outfits, because we were late to church and Lauren was singing with the primary.

Preschool Easter Egg hunt

Lauren and her friend Mariah

Lauren's preschool had an easter egg hunt at the park. The eggs were thrown on the grass and each kid was allowed to find 12 eggs. It was fun to watch Lauren and Chase fight for eggs. Chase actually took some eggs from other kids baskets. Here are some pictures of the activity. ( I didn't post the picture of Chase sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap. He was screaming and it was a really sad picture.)

Quick trip to Merced

We made a quick trip to Merced. We hadn't been there for months, so it was really good to see some of our old friends. I was also able to say goodbye to my friend Hilary (she moved to texas). Lauren and Chase loved to play with their friends and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Happy Nine Years!

We had our nine year anniversary on Febuary 12th. I can't believe that it has been that long. We went out to dinner, but ended up leaving early because I got sick. I'll make it up to him next year. These past nine years have been so much fun. I couldn't imagine my life without Marcus. Thanks babe for nine fabulous years.
