Disney on Ice



We celebrated Bennett's birthday early this year because we will be in Salt Lake for his actual birthday. We decided to take him to Disney on Ice and it was a blast! He was a little afraid at first because it was so loud (but what isn't he afraid of right????) So after a few minutes he warmed up to it and we had a great time, well minus the little bit where we had to say "NO" to the $15 Disney sword that he wanted =) Anyway here are a couple of pictures of our night out.

So after a closer look at the family picture, take note of Elizabeth's "look," it sums her up without any words! I try to explain her "skepticism" and here it is in person!! And like I said, Bennett is a little freaked out!

Girls are SO expensive!




I haven't posted in a while and I just thought I would share my love, or should I say addiction to shopping with my friends. I have been eying this swimsuit for Elizabeth for a while now. So I did it - it was on sale and I just bought it, not to mention that I already have one for her this summer and how many swimsuits does a 6 month old actually need???? (Maybe a lot considering we live at Hershey Park in the summer, right? =)

Anyway I wanted to share these pict's with you...

Yeah for Pittsburgh!


Here is a picture of Bennett....






































































































A couple of weekends ago Steve finished up his surgery rotation. He got home after his shelf exam and we decided at the spur of the minute to go to Pittsburgh for the weekend. We know its not the most exciting place in the world, but we had never been there. So we packed up the kiddos and headed out. It was so fun to just pack up and head out. We consulted our friend Lori who used to live there for hotel locations and decided to just find one when we got there ( a pool was a MUST though, as is the case for most vacations with a 3 year old!) We visited the Carnegie Science Museum and walked around the "Strip District." The Strip district was really cool, a renovated area of old warehouses that has been made into a street market with fresh food, flowers, fun vendors, art, and cool little boutiques. We had so much fun eating at a small Italian bistro. The man who helped us was an old Italian man with a huge cigar hanging out of his mouth, not lit though?! Then we headed out to the Museum. We really thought for a minute that Bennett was going to pee his pants he was so overwhelmed with excitement when we walked into the museum. There was 4 floors of really cool stuff for kids to do. It was all interactive learning and play. We go to go inside of a WW2 submarine and play with lots of balls and water, and even sit inside an earthquake simulator. All in all we had a fun weekend full of Family, Food, and Fun!

Elizabeth's Blessing



On March 1st we blessed Elizabeth. She looked so beautiful! The dress was so pretty (thanks to Grandma Donna!) Here are some pictures of her and the family. We were lucky enough to have Aunt Genevieve and Uncle Ryan visiting us then so Ryan could take part in the blessing too.

The BEST Valentines present...


My good friend Nancy and I were talking a while ago about what kind of gifts we like. She told me how she thinks a good gift is one that you wouldn't buy for yourself. I disagreed and thought a good gift was one that was functional and would save you the time and money of buying it yourself. We had a laugh at how different we were and that was the end of it! OR so I thought........................

Nancy gave me this AWESOME valentine!!!

Daddy's Girl



Elizabeth is 8 weeks old, and starting to smile when she recognizes people. I have to brag and say that she gets pretty excited when she sees me! She will sit and smile and talk to me. She is so cute! Kellie just loves that she stays home with her all day, but it's dad that she loves to talk to! :)
