My Brother Got Hitched!

Greg and Sara got married in the Newport Beach Temple. They are such a beautiful and happy couple! Love you guys!

Quincey giving some love. As soon as they got close to us, Quincey ran up to them. It was very cute.

The girls waiting for Uncle Greg and Aunt Sara to come out of the temple!

Christmas Morning

This is how we started our Christmas morning!! Presley was grumpy because we had to wake her up and Quincey didn't want to wake up!

I think Quincey was glad she woke up because...

...look what Santa brought for her and Pres!

The girls like their jeeps!

Look what Santa put in our stocking! I wonder why Santa didn't put anything in mommy's stocking? Daddy magically got something in his stocking...I thought I was nicer...

We were so grateful for the rainy, Christmas weather!

Christmas Eve with the Family

Here we are at our annual Christmas Eve dinner at Northwoods Inn. Growing up my immediate family would go to Bob's Big Boy every Christmas Eve. I always looked forward to that and then we would go see Christmas lights. As the years went on, Grandma joined us and she wasn't too fond of Bob's (plus it was going downhill) so we decided to go to Northwoods because it was close to her home. Grandma passed away but we are still going to Northwoods. But, thumbs down to my crab legs at Northwoods this year...not too good! Oh well, it was a great evening with family...and our newest member Sara!

Grandma and her girls!

The girls! My aunt Cathy, Quincey, my new sister in law Sara, my mom, Presley, me, my cousin Erin, and my cousin Taylor.

A girl and her mommy!

Quincey loves her Auntie Erin. Erin is great with my girls. She lives in San Francisco so she doesn't get to hang out with us a whole lot. It was nice seeing her at Christmas.

Christmas on Auntie and Uncle's Sea Cruz

We go down to Warren and Cathy's boat every Christmas to watch the boat parade. This year we decided to celebrate Cathy and Barry's birthday while we were down there. Here is Grandma meeting us at the entrance of the boat ramp.

Greg and Sara! They just got married...so awesome! I have a new sis! I will post some pictures of their wedding a few blogs later!

Thanksgiving in Park City

We went to Park City to celebrate Thanksgiving with Barry's family this year. We had a great time with all the inlaws and cousins. No snow this year but still chilly for we Californians!

Grandpa Dan and Quincey!

Grandma Sue and the girls!

We had an exciting day on Thanksgiving. While I was getting ready, the smoke alarm went off...and it set off the house alarm and we couldn't get them off for 45 minutes! It was LOUD! When the house alarm went off, it automatically calls the fire department. The turkey got way excited in the oven and leaked into the stove and sent the oven smoking! It was kind of funny...and eventful. We told my mother in law it was going to be a Thanksgiving we will always remember! The turkey was great Sue! So we all took advantage of the fire truck and took pictures with it!

When the firemen got there, they gave the kids plastic fireman hats. They were way excited. This is Quincey and Maila sporting them...

Presley with the sparkling firemen behind her!

My Stinkpot!

So Presley doesn't like her hair to be done, hence the name "stinkpot." She will finally let me put it in a ponytail...sometimes. It looks so cute with a little bow! I was trying to take a picture of her with her cute pony but she was being a little "stinkpot." But still so cute!

Finally looking at the camera but can't see the cute pony! I know, I know, she is a little too old for the "fire" but what's a mom gonna do!

Quincey's 5th Birthday Party

We took Quincey and her friends to see Madagascar 2 for her birthday. They had a great time! We brought capri suns and then bought popcorn for all to share! Thanks mom, Barry, Joanna, and Andrea for your help!

The birthday girl with a couple of her girlfriends...Sydney and Sydney!

Quincey getting ready to blow out her candles!

Makin' a Cake

The girls helped me make a cake for Quincey's birthday party. They always like to help me in the kitchen...especially lick the bowl and beaters...who doesn't?

Say "yes" to licking the beater!

Grandma and Quincey's Family Birthday Party

The Birthday Girls! We always have a family birthday party for the birthday people. Quincey and my mom share the month of November so we recently had theirs at my house. We had a yummy dinner and they both enjoyed their new presents! Such a cute picture!

A couple of her new gifts...I love her missing tooth smile!

Quincey is way into Bratz this year. I found these sheets and knew she would be so excited. At Sears, they have a Bratz comforter. I am debating on whether to get it or not. That would mean she would now have a Strawberry Shortcake comforter, a cat one, and a flowery one. I've got problems...

Grandma and her girls. Presley has discovered sticking out her tongue at people can get a reaction and now, at the camera, seems to be even funnier!

My aunt Cathy, my brother Greg, and soon to be wifey and sister in law, Sara.

Quincey and Grandma blowing out their candles on their birthday cake. I didn't realize I didn't have any candles but I did have a 2 and 3 which equal 5 so that is what we did. Grandma didn't mind that her age wasn't displayed on the cake!
