I'm hoping to be able to figure this mac out sometime soon so well see when ever that is!

life...disneyland....beach.... : )

so siua has been begging me for weeks to post about Disneyland so here i go starting at work so who knows when i will get done! the goal is to finish tonight! so our in laws are all awesome and Sandra and Mario ever so kindly got us tickets to Disneyland! so amazing! so we all drove down.


LAS VEGAS-yes i know there is a huge lack in pictures

first we stopped in Vegas to visit siuas mom and since neither one of us had been there is was an experience to say the least. the shopping was fun but the people were slightly drunk at 3 in the afternoon...hahaha it was so funny. oh and by the way i got a GIANT speeding ticket on our way down to LV and i wanted to murder!!! $360 dollars later we were on our way!


oh yes this was Emma's reaction when she woke up to me getting a ticket! mine was not so cute...


i guess i for got how big she has gotten ...loves her suitcase


DISNEYLAND

Disneyland was so fun! Emma thought it was the greatest thing ever! she love love loved the roller coasters! she is just like siua. we were so glad that lyv was there so they could be friends together on rides! we went to bibbidy bobbidy boutique and they got all dolled up and Emma was in HEAVEN! she even got the fake hair piece and she was so excited to long hair! we had a ton of fun and it was well worth the long drive there and back.



the girls went on the merry go round a ton! but i think siua liked it the most!







so pretty sure every time Marley would fall asleep siua would put something in her mouth and laugh so hard every time!! such a clever man---hahaha, this time it happened to be an apple piece

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was so fun Emma was in her element for sure



teddy grams we that naps treat of choice

meeting mickey mouse!! Emma thought it was so cool! i couldn't believe how little he was

in minnis house

its a small world is the worst ride ever....lucky for me every single person in our group LOVES IT!! ahhh dont ask me why . but emma thought it was pretty cool

had to stop by the fire station

we got these little plush pillows for emma and lyvi emma still sleeps with hers

THE BEACH

it was amazing! siua is in heaven on the beach, he could live there if i let him. it was so fun we saw a pod of dolphins and a seal and they were way close....emma had so much fun running into the waves. we need to go to the beach more often that for sure!






all and all it was an amazing trip! minus a few sicknesses and a long drive it was soooo worth it!

new moon fever!

so i went out and bought new moon on Saturday and i have watched it twice! i literally love the twilight series its AMAZING! i am in love with Edward....yes i know he is pale and skinny but i am infatuated! chase does resemble Jacob with all of his hotness but Jacob is not manly at all....i feel like he is like 12 in this movie and that is not appealing to me ....i know my bad! but anyways to any of you that care eclipse comes out on June 30th and you had better believe i will be at the midnight showing! so i really wanted to put a picture and the trailer on here but i can not figure it out...lame i know so go google for yourself! love it!

the greatest day

what a miracle it is that we made it to the temple at 3 1/2 years of marriage! we have been through a lot but it was all worth it once we were in the temple and sealed as a family for ever and ever! what a great joy. and it totally changed my perspective on life for the better. i will never forget this day! it was super special so i had a old friend/ great photographer take pictures of us! they turned out so cute! she is Jessica at bellaraephotography.blogspot.com she is so fun and was amazing with Emma! thanks Jess! and thanks to everyone who supported us and loves us! we love you all! so here are some more of my favorite pictures!












if you made it all the way down good job! it was a total picture overload!

go to hale....

For 2010 we are going to be running A LOT! Siua and Jeff decided to follow in Rick's(Jeff's dad) footsteps and run 5ks! I will follow in February and start running one a month with them! so excited! they started and finished at the hale center theater in Orem...hence the go to hale shirts....clever I know! Rick got second in his age group, Jeff got 4th and Siua got 5th in their age group! They all did so good and I am so proud! I cant wait to join them for the next one!

Jeff is such a great friend and has been great to me and Emma! we love him! he was chases escort at the temple and we wouldn't have had anyone else! he and chase are more like brothers and it meant a lot for us to have him be there! we love him and his family....our family!

christmas time

Christmas time is my favorite this year was a little different for me but still really fun! Chase had an internship this semester at Provo fire station 5 he loved it so much! he was gone anywhere from 12-48 hours on shifts it was a little rough for me at times and he would come home every time with Emma and i sleeping on the couch waiting for him to come home but it was worth it! the week before Christmas was his last shift and they had a Christmas party for all of the Provo stations. we were invited and it was so much fun! Emma got to meet Santa and just thought that he was the greatest person!


she was in awe of him when he first came in! just stared for 5 minutes!


then ----big news---- my in laws got sealed in the temple( so proud) and while they were there chase and Emma got to watch one of our close friends little girl! Jersey is adorable and chase and Emma had a blast!

Christmas was great the week before Emma got these pajamas from her grandma and grandpa Fairbanks! she didn't take them off for 4 days....gross i know... but Christmas morning they were clean and ready to go! Emma got lots of fun stuff ! my parents gave he a cute Lego set that her and chase made and they also got her a wolf( i took her to new moon on thanksgiving and she is obsessed with Jacob....I'm an Edward fan but its okay..... that's why she wanted a wolf haha) she named him Jacob and loves him!



so in preparation for Christmas we told Emma she needs to be good so Santa will give her presents and man she was so excited to get this swim puppy! she keeps saying that she is a good girl so she gets presents! here she is Christmas morning bathing with her swim puppy.

her reaction when she got it was priceless!

we also got to talk to our brother-in-law who is on his mission in Mexico! it was so good to talk to him! he is doing great and we miss him so much!

and in other missionary news chases best friend Jeff is coming home in Tuesday! we are so excited to see him and chase is so pumped to have his best friend back!
now my goal for 2010 is to be a good blogger I'm thinking once a week is good!

First day of Preschool

Emma started preschool this fall! She is getting so big... everyday she comes home with a cute project and is so excited to put it on the fridge or hang up on her door. She loves school and we have to thank her teacher Molly for making school fun for her.

family camp out

so awhile ago our ward had a camp-out somewhere in the mountains, and people we weren't there because we drove around for 3 hours trying to find the stupid site!!! but since that was a total FAIL....we improvised and camped out in our backyard!!! it was a lot of fun and i always forget how good chase is at camping.... really he is so sweet to set everything up and use my air mattresses( he believes is sleeping on the floor...weird i know!) but we made our own little fire pit, by we i mean chase while i watch....go team!
anyways we roasted marshmallows and then we
slept.....outside.....for two days......it was sooo fun!
my brother Devin came out the first time to join in the smores-ing, my other brother Aaron and his girlfriend Kennedy came out the second night, unfort there were no pictures by that time i had lost interest....sorry


Emma went to town with the chocolate, and chase can you believe it had never really had a smore before!!!!wtf, i know crazy!!!! he enjoyed them....well as much as someone can who doesn't like marshmallows..... needless to say those two days were super fun!

oh man....SURPISE

so after Indiana we had some exciting adventures! Emmalee had asleep over with her cousin Alyviah....they love each other like sisters which means that they fight like sisters, but that had so much fun! they loved sleeping in Emma's toddler bed together and they were surprisingly really good the entire time!we love it!

we also had a good friend get engaged(getting married tomorrow actually) and he got his fiances name tattooed on his ring finger so we went with him cause chase was supposed to get my initials on his ring finger, but he was too scared to get it and i have wanted a tattoo for years and years and so i finally got one!!! K PEOPLE DON'T FREAK! i am still a good person i promise! i love it and don't regret it one bit! i felt like i was just being myself and not worrying about what others thought, and i am always worried about stuff like that! it was liberating and i love it! (lets still be friends okay people!)!

oh and another fun little tid-bit---we got another dog! Reggie(our first dog) was getting a little anti-social cause we don't know anyone with dogs so i went on a hunt and found a cute little cocka-poo mix and asked chase if i could get her, he said yes and to call him! i was so excited so i bought the little puppy and then called chase and he was all "what you bought it!!! i told you to call me!" he wasn't mad just shocked that i actually got her!!! she is adorable she is a big fatty now though but we still love her! we named her Oakley and she is so funny! i have an animal problem i know but i love them so much!!! one day we hope to have 4 but not anytime soon, my parents already want to kill me with 2 in their Provo house so one day we will get 2 more big ones.....one day! okay i think i overloaded enough information/surprises in this post so more will come !
