Arrow Rock 2012

 My brother Gavin is such a good uncle to the girls.  They absolutely love him.

 Here Charli is "helping" my dad drive the boat.  She kept looking for the horn. When she would honk it she thought she was really funny.

 My dad took this picture of us in the water.  I was a little nervous to hand the camera down into the water but, it made it out safe and we got a really good picture.

 Jacob found a log and used it for a raft.

After fishing all day, Jacob caught a fish right before we left.  We had a good day up at the lake.  Can't wait to go up with Grady, he gets home on Wednesday!

The move

 For those of you who don't know, we moved back to Idaho!  It was a sudden decision for us and we packed ourselves up and were gone in 2 weeks time.  Jacob had changed his mind and will be going back to BSU in the fall.  We keep laughing that he will graduate from my home town and I graduated from his.  Anyway, charli loved all the boxes and had fun coloring all over them.  We had to hurry and make one more trip to the coast and one more trip to the zoo before we moved.  We went to Cannon Beach the Saturday before we moved.  When we first got there it was pretty cold, after about an hour it warmed up and the sun came out.  Charli loved playing in the sand.  We walked around for a little while and Charli fell asleep in the stroller (which totally surprised us).  We had a lot of fun and I do miss being so close to the ocean, however I am excited for boating season to start here in Idaho.  We sure do miss our friends that we made while we were in Portland but we are both really happy to be back in Idaho.  I am happy to be back near my family.

Charli discovered her shadow for the first time while we were at the beach and it was pretty funny for us to watch her.

Easter 2012

This easter we had a lot of fun together.  We dyed easter eggs, went to a petting zoo and egg hunt, and I made a nice easter dinner for the three of us.  The easter bunny left some fun presents and candy for Charli to find when she woke up.  Also, I was so in love with Charli's easter dress, I thought she looked adorable in it.

Disneyland Day 2

The second day at Disneyland was a lot of fun. The only thing we wished we did different is buy the three day park hopper pass. That way we could come and go as we pleased and have one more day. We all had so much fun and we can't wait to go back. I think next time we will also do the princess lunch that my sister Hilary did with her girls (Her blog is listed on the right, they had a lot of fun and she said it was totally worth it!)

Charli trying out Mickey's chair

Charli didn't nap the first day but she did the second day. We were walking from Disneyland to CA adventure to go get something for lunch and meet up with everyone else. My sister was giving her a shoulder ride and Charli started to fall asleep on Hilary's head.

The worker with Minnie offered to take our picture all together, a little blurry, but we will take it

We watched the parade the 2nd day also, and it was still totally awesome. Charli will still sit and watch the parade on you tube.
