Well, we got it on video. It is from my phone, so the quality isn't great, but you can tell she is definitely walking! It won't be long until she is everywhere!

Rebecca Standing by Herself!

Rebecca is now standing all by herself! She really likes playing with the magnets on the fridge. That is the best time I can catch her standing. She has even taken a few steps as well. It won't be long until she is walking full time! (I don't know if I am excited or dreading that!)


She has been doing this for about a week, but it is hard to get a picture because when she sees the camera, she has to look at me and smile. That usually requires her to hold on to things. The smiles are nice, but I really wanted her to keep standing!

Fun at the Park

The weather was great last Saturday so we got all the work done at the house and went to the park! It was so much fun to feed the ducks and play on the playground with the kids. After we were done at the park, we came home and had a lazy day. It was a a very nice day.


Sarah liked the baby ducks.



The sea-saw was more fun when the pictures were done and both Scott and I were on opposite sides. We really got it moving then!

The time has come at last!

The last link of the chain has been broken! We are on our way to California!
We kept rotating kids from Wendy's car to mine. My kids love going in Wendy's car and I loved Wendy's kids coming in mine! They were great at helping with Rebecca.
The kids love staying at hotels!
Becca just loved getting out of the car.
Run, run, get as much energy out as you can!
Back in the car again! One more day to go!

Beach

We went to the beach the first Monday that we were there. It was a lot of fun, but that sand is awful! Not only does it just make you feel soo dirty, but it also broke my camera. My camera is waterproof, so I thought it was fine going in the water, but it is not sand proof and the shutter got stuck and broke. :( Now we have to save up $250 to buy a new one.

I was surfin' with the girls. Elizabeth liked the water as long as it didn't get her face.

Becca hated the beach! She didn't like the sand, the sun or anything!

Dianne and Danni sun bathed the whole time. Elizabeth didn't think Dianne was dirty enough so she tried to rectify that!

Disneyland

These pictures were almost lost. My mom thought that she had moved all of her pictures to the computer from her camera so she erased all the pictures. They we went to look at the Disneyland pictures and they were not there! My mom bought an "Undelete" program and it was able to restore all of the pictures. We were all so happy. There were some really cute pics!My mom was so wonderful and bought us tickets to Disneyland. It was so much fun! It was a little busy at first, but after a little while things calmed down. It cost A LOT of money, but it was worth it (since most of it didn't come from my wallet :) Christmas from my mom might be a little smaller this year.
On the bus to Disneyland! The last time I went we took a little parking shuttle to get to the park, but now all that parking lot is full of Disney CA Adventure. Still haven't been there, but I don't know that I ever will.
They have a "new" (since the last time I went) area where little girls can stand in line to take pictures and visit with Disney Princesses. That was what Sarah was looking forward to the most. I didn't realize however that the line would be two hours long! Luckily we saw Jasmine while walking in the park. Scott grabbed Sarah in his arms and ran after them. They were kind enough to stop and let us take a picture with them. (They had to run after that before they were mobbed!)

We tried to all fit in a rocket, but I ended up going by myself!
Jacob's favorite ride was the "new" Buzz Lightyear ride. He got to shoot at things and he got more points than Grandma!
We had a lot of fun on the teacups. Scott had fun taking pictures!
The Mad Hatter's Shop is always fun.
Everyone but my mom. We should have gotten someone else to take the pic for us!
The old hat switcheroo.
My family and the balloon.
All tuckered out!

The Gibbons Clan Get Together

It was so much fun to spend time with the Gibbons side as well during our trip. While driving to CA we got a call from Scott's brother, Tom, telling us that he was being called as a bishop the next day. It so happened that we were going to be able to be there for that! It is so amazing how the Lord blesses us.
Magi's carmel popcorn is sooo good!
Scott had a lot of fun playing with the twins. Rebecca loved joining in!

Anna didn't seem to mind being ganged up on.
It was so cute to watch Sydnie and Rebecca play together.

She couldn't seem to figure Scott out. I guess he hadn't given her anything to eat yet. I fed her some watermellon and we were best buds right away!
The kids loved being twisted up in the swings.
It wasn't quite as fun for Tom.
That darn Sarah kept turning her head!
Becca and Uncle Aaron.
Sorry it's blurry, my camera had died at this point and I was using my phone.

Fishing

We went to Jess Ranch to go fishing. They really, really stock the ponds there. The kids didn't have any problem at all catching a fish. They wanted to keep catching them, but we had to pay for every fish.


It took me a while to get used to bating the hook. Boy those worms really squirm! :{

They all got "First Fish" certificates.

fun times with Grandma and Papa


"Welllll I had a little chicken..."






They got their nails done!
