BATH TIME

I have to say I enjoyed very much having Gillian and Marley stay at the house while we were there. It meant that I got more moments with Marley like this one.....Bath Time! It was Marley and I's first bath together and I must say that I did a very good job seeing how she didn't cry the whole time. What can I say I'm just the best bath time Aunt ever!

I had so much fun being able to share these moments with my new little niece. 

It was some of the best times I have had in a while. 

Miss you Marley! 

Gillian and Marley

Gillian and Marley stayed over at Mom's house the first few days we were in California. It was nice because I got to be Mommy to Marley for a few days with baths and changing. This was one of the mornings they were with us. 

Aren't they cute, they totally sleep alike. I guess Marley really is just like her Mom. 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Marley Can Sleep Anywhere!

So before we left AZ we all stopped at Subway for a little lunch. However, Trey noticed the Taco Bell next store and quickly abandoned  the idea of Subway. Trey even decided not to sit with the rest of us  crazy's eating Subway. Marley too was not interested in Subway and after her bottle of milk she was apparently too tired to wait to get back in the car so she fell asleep in my hand. It was quite hilarious.  

This is Trey eating his Taco Bell in Subway without the rest of us. 

Marley fast asleep!

Marley was having good dreams!

And she was drooling all over my hands. But she is so cute that I totally didn't care! lol! 

Orange County MOTAB

So while we were in San Diego Cory and I went to my mothers choir rehearsal. She is part of this amazing choir which is basically the Orange County version of MOTAB. It's all about getting people aware of the church and sharing these amazing peoples musical talents. It's cool they have rehearsal just in a normal church building. However, while we were there Cory and I were exploring and we found this cray mural on an outside wall of the church. 

It was actually a mural of Lehi and the tree of life.

Overall it was a really cool night, the Choir was amazing even though it was just a practice run and my Mom said they were terrible. But to me it sounded amazing and if you haven't heard about this Choir I suggest you look into it. They will be a big as MOTAB soon. 

Horses, Horses, and More Horses!

Cousin Monica had a bunch of horses so a few of us decided they were going to ride them.

 You'll never guess who? Baby Marley and Gillian! 

Marley on her first horse ride with Uncle Tarren helping her along. She is so darn cute! 

Gillian was our other Horse rider and she hadn't been on a horse probably since she was in high school. It was a sight to see.  The process of getting herself up there was also quite hilarious, she had us all rolling on the ground laughing. 

Almost Up.....

Struggling to get herself righted....

Finally Mom and Baby on the Horse together! 

Gillian and Marley

He's locked and loaded ladies.... Cory referred to this as his "holster"!

 Cory became the unofficial carrier of everything baby,  he is actually rather good at it. He was often left carrying around the huge diaper bag or holding onto the always needed bottle.  

He is going to be such a great Daddy some day! 

Tractor Love

We had alot of fun on the Tractor.....

Aren't we cute! 

I decided to smother Cory..... somebody save him! 

My Love

Cousin Monica's Farm

While in Mesa, AZ we also visited some of my Mothers many cousins, so many in fact sometimes it's hard to keep track. My mom's cousin Monica lived on this big farm where we all went for her breakfast casserole and berry crepes. Plus we wanted to take a picture with the giant tractor. Because, well I haven't seen to many of those lying around town. So we took lots of pictures on the tractor and then Trey and Tarren decided to make a Cory sandwich. 

The Cory sandwich.... He liked it! 

The big tractor shot!

This is only a shot of some of the cousins that were there. This was the kid shot of everyone at Monica's. Lets just say we have a huge family! 

Aren't we cute. Just some sibling bonding time!
