This is What Makes Babies Happy!

What a treat it was to go to Disneyland again this year! I seriously love that place and I can never get enough. Todd's grandparents take us there each year, and I always look SO forward to it. A couple highlights include......delicious room service, good long conversations, princess breakfast, the parade, seeing family, walking 5 miles a day, hotel naps in the middle of the day, Berkeley LOVING the rides, meeting Snow White, and seeing my baby so happy.

Some of the not so fun parts of Disneyland.......Berkeley freaking out in line because she wants down, and by freaking out I mean wrestling for her life, my sister in law having the flu and throwing up on the bus on the way there, Todd not being there, and eating so many calories in one day I could have fed a small country.

I stayed in California for the rest of the week to hang out with my family. I went to my sisters house for a couple days and took advantage of a good photo sesh.

Blurgh....

Once again, my cell phone is out of commission. No, I didn't drop it in the toilet like last time....this time is better! Today I put some delish string cheese in my purse for a snack for later. As the day progressed it got a little hotter, and my cheese got a little softer. Little did I know, that when the cheese was torn from the others it didn't rip on the perferrated line, it went much farther, leaving a leak in the plastic. So with out my knowledge, the cheese formed a gross gooey cheesy liquid and leaked ALL OVER MY PURSE. So now my purse has leaked cheese along the whole bottom of it which is showing from the outside, and you guessed it, it leaked on my phone killing the poor little thing. And of course because I just so recently got a new phone I cannot renew my contract, so I will be paying full price on my new phone. BLURGH!

Hannah Montana

Why is it that when you ask people to take a picture they can never get it focused? SO frustrating!

We went to the Hannah Montana concert the other night and it was so fun! I went along with Todd's 2 sisters, his aunt, cousin, and niece. We went to dinner first and then the concert so it was about a 7 hour long ordeal, but it was still fun to do! She was really fun to watch and had a good show. Thanks so much Ross and Lori! It was a nice treat.

In Case You Didn't Know...

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

Some Reasons Why I Love Having a Girl!!!

And my favorite about having a sweet little girl!

It's Official

This week sums up a week of some serious life changes. Todd has just been finishing up applying to Law schools. For those of you who didn't know...Todd wants to be a lawyer! He decided about 4 months ago, and hurried and took the LSAT with 3 weeks of studying under his belt. We applied to about 13 schools, and thanks to his ever so helpful mom, got most of them done. The whole process was quite long, he put about 40-50 hours total towards the application process! The schools are located in San Fransisco, Chicago, Pennsylvania, Malibu, Los Angeles, San Diego, Manhattan, New Jersey, Utah, North Carolina, and of course Phoenix, but that doesn't count. We hear back in about 3 months so it will be quite a roller coaster seeing where we get accepted, and where we want to spend the next 3 years of our lives. It has not hit me yet that we will be leaving Arizona, but every once in a while I will really think about it and it makes me so sad to be leaving my home of 4 1/2 years. I have made so many good friends here and have enjoyed it so much. But at the same time, I am so excited to move away to a new place where we don't know anyone or the area and have to go through all the new changes together as a family. So we are crossing our fingers hoping to get into some of the schools we want!!!

Berkeley's New Moves

Sick Family

My poor sweet girl has just gotten over her second set of ear infections in both ears, and let me tell you, it is NOT fun. For about 2 weeks, she has been crying, literally, about half of the day, and the other half she is wanting me to hold her constantly. She took some antibiotic that was so strong that it made her get a yeast infection in her mouth, which is very painful and very stinky. She totally smelled like a sick child. It was gross. She does not want anyone else to hold her either, which is worse! Finally 3 days ago, she was Berkeley again and it has been so fun! I forgot how funny and full of personality she is because I had not seen it for so long. Then this morning she woke up with goopy eye (don't know the actual medical term) and now we have to go to the doctor AGAIN! I hope it is nothing that bad, but knowing how things have been, she will probably have pink eye or something fun like that! But these couple days that I have had of her feeling good have been the best and the funniest! But because of her illnesses Todd and I have both gotten sick...some serious colds. That's why our house is referred to the sick house right now. So you can only imagine what our lives have been like the last week.

Update:

Berkeley still has ear infections in both ears....this is 5 weeks now and counting. And it is currently 10:45pm, and she is still not asleep. Her bedtime is 8. Im going CRAZY!!!
