Playing catch-up


We drove up to Modesto to see Reed! It was so good to see the Stone family! We love them and had an awesome time with everyone! Kyrie keeps asking when we are going back to Nona's house. On Saturday we went to San Francisco and walked a lot to see Pier 39. Good times!

Ate some really good chowder, fried zucchini, and fish n chips at "Chowders"! YUM

Thanksgiving Break

Before Thanksgiving, Melanie and Jade came down and we were able to party it up at Disneyland!  We love Disneyland!

and we love California Adventure!  I'd like to give a huge shout out to Josh Adams who hooked Mel and Jade up in a big way!!  Thanks Josh, you are the best!
Pirates of the Caribean was experiencing some technical difficulties so we sat in the middle of the ride for a good 15 minutes.  Kyrie's facial expression really says it all.
It's tough being a bug!  A fun 3-D show.  Actually, I kind have mad anxiety in this show because there is a parat where you are attacked by bugs and there are things that come out of the back of the seats and stick you in the back.  Sorry if that ruins the experience for anyone in the future but I'm sure you will thank me when you are prepared that that unpleasant stab in the back.

I love Thunder Mountain! We sat at the very front of the train this time and I couldn't believe how slow the ride seemed.  Last Friday Kyrie and I sat in the very back and loved it.  So Mel, I highly recomend the back if you are lookin for speed!
My Mom, Dad, Jacob and Nathan came down for Thanksgiving (along with Jade and Mel who were here for Disney)  and it was so much fun to have them!!

Digging in.

Below, Melanie is hiding her "bad side" behind a roll.  I know right?  Like Melanie has a bad side!  Whatever Melanie you don't have a bad side, so you can run and tell that, home girl!
Everyone eating.  Brian fried the Turkey and I thought it was amazing!  I look like I'm about to inhale my entire plate.

The day after Thanksgiving we went to the San Diego Wildlife Park.  Kyrie took the picture above of her Nona and Papaa.   Below is a picture of a baby cheetah.  So cute.

The Safari ride, and another one of Kyrie's amazing shots.
The Merry-go-round!








Thanks Mom, Dad, Jacob, Nathan, Melanie, and Jade for coming out!  We loved having you guys!  We had so much fun playing games, watching movies, chillin in the spool, eating, Disney, and going to the Wildlife park.  We Love you!

Update

Lounging lion at the wild animal park.

Below, a project inspired by my friend Vikki, displaying Kyrie's artwork in her (work in progress) play room/loft.
Kyrie dressed up as Ariel for her preschool Halloween Party.
Kyrie with her friends.
My halloween costume.  Pretty amazing right?  No, I wish.  Disneyland!!  Kyrie was picked for Jedi training.  I really need to work with her on her Jedi skills so next time she is picked I will not be so embarassed.  Throughout the training she just kept striking poses for pictures.


Sharee, Arthur and Family came out for a visit in which we crammed in Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo, the Beach and Sea World.  It was tons of fun!!  I think Dallin would have been a little more qualified to fight Darthvader.  Hey, I've always wanted to fight Darthvader.  Next time Kyrie will be ready, I tell you!  Okay, enough of Kyrie's Jedi training, I'm not bitter that I was not picked.  I'm not bitter that I am too old to participate in the jedi fun.  I'm not. :)
Kyrie and Daphne
