Day 1 CONT

Alright so I finally have free internet so I'm just gonna post like a butt load of stuff. Haha. Sorry I couldn't post sooner. Here are the rest of the pics from Knotts Berry Farm. =) Whee!

We went again that night but it felt more like a carnival then an just wasn't as fun. But there were some cute moments as always.

An there was this one ride that was pretty crazy an Mailey was cracking every one up on the ride, so hopefully this video loads. It made Emy a little sick as you can see. Whoops.

To Cali We Go - Day 1

Sooooo, Mailey and Emy are experiencing the craziness of So.Cal an I'm discovering the craziness of being with toddlers 24/7. Haha. So I'm seperating these into posts for each day. This one is actually two days though, the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG drive and Knotts Berry Farm! WOOHOO!

The Adventure Begins

We got about an hour an a half an stopped to eat the cake pops the girls got nana an papa to buy them. It was hilarious cuz Mailey goes, "Papa, I want the Chewy-Moo-Su one (Tiramisu)" Dad didn't realize what it's actually called, so he then asked the Starbucks guy for two of those, in the way Mailey had pronounced it. The guy was just like alright an I couldn't stop laughing, of course.

Alright, so on we go. Can u guess what this is? No. Well gee, but I tried so hard. Ha. It's the L.A. skyline baby!! (If you can't tell, we were going kinda fast) =) This was like a major relief to see with Mailey frequently whining and telling us to "pull the car over right now and find a hotel! Cuz she wanted to GET OUT!" Ha. This is only funny the day after driving 13 hours with two young-ins.

This pic just made me laugh. This was them watching TV the night we got there. Their expressions were the exact same as they reacted to that crazy Cat in the Hat. =)

DAY 1 in CALI!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! OMG we're going to Knotts Berry Farm!!!

Hmmm this is taking longer then expected and Auntie Ann is now taking pictures again so I'm gonna pretend I'm sleeping. Emy decides it's a good time to take the advantage over Mailey.

We finally arrived!!!!

This was just supposed to be a pic of Mailey and Emy but Emy was not havin any of those oversized dolls standing near her. Ha.

This is the first time the girls went on this ride. They were super excited. Inside was a lever that both riders had to pull on that would make the airplane go up, if they pushed it back, it would go back down. The ride started an were yelling at the girls to pull the lever, get your plane up. By the time it goes around the third time I realize Emy has a huge frown on her face an very watery eyes. An Mailey's looking at her an looking at us an beginning to cry. When they got up there, probably only 10 feet, Emy quickly realized that flying was perhaps not her favorite thing. I continued to shout everytime they went by, "really, it's ok, you'll come back down!" Ha. That night they actually ended up going again, TWICE! Woohoo, they got the hang of it an Emy loved it!

Well there's still more to post but I only have like 10 more minutes of internet. TA-TA for now!! =)

To six months..and six hundred more to come...

He is like my second shot at perfection... like before I kept aiming but falling; not short... far. And then somehow by the awesome grace of God He saw me as worthy enough, or maybe I just got really lucky. Regardless. He gave me a second chance and I stepped up to bat one more time and BAM! He...he was my home run. And these last six months I just keep getting home runs :) I am so SO blessed to know Joffre Conrad the way I do. So blessed. So In awe that God would allow me to be with him. Through these last six months I have understood God's grace more than ever before...and its because of him. I adore him :)...So ting ting ting! glasses up! there is my toast...To us! To JIFFY! Happy six months!!!

Did you hear what I heard?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo

a little birdy whispered in my ear and

told me a gorgeous little red robin was flying into town,

with her three wild chickys!

And how did I find that out?

That's a secret I'll never tell......haha.

Ever seen a goat jump on a trampoline?

Labor day we got invited to a couples house for some amazing barbeque and some raucous fun and laughter. They have a very farm-esque home...very fun place to have children. They had a trampoline, a pool, an orchard, an old 1930's style house to run circles in...and...two goats and a rooster, as pets. Seriously, it was amazing. And at one point the dad decided the goats needed to jump with the kids, and I HAD TO get it on video. I mean seriously, a goat on a trampoline?! DOES IT GET ANY MORE HILARIOUS?!!?? No my dear follower, it really does not.
So here's to labor day and farm animals...ha ha ha.

Dreamer

You've come to a place forbidden to be,
Seen all the thing's you never wanted to see.
Things you become, never dreamed you would be.
The nightmare has happened
while you were asleep.
But open your eyes O' dreamer arise!
The new day is dawning, it's barely sunrise.
Can't you taste?
Can't you see?
The glory, the sweetness of you being free.
Can you see?
Can you see?
The glory, the glory of all you can be.
Do you hunger O' dreamer, do you want this to be?
The glory, the glory!
Of YOU.....
redeemed.

I feel a storm brewin'

MM...can you smell that? Its blackmail..and its headed this way!
