Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Jeppson

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we headed up to Sugar City, ID to spend some time with Nate's parents. We had a wonderful time there and got to do some fun things with them. (We unfortunately didn't get any pictures with Grandpa Jeppson. But we loved being with both grandma and grandpa!)

Grandpa and Grandma Jeppson's home through the eyes of a 4 year old.

Taylor got a hold of the camera one night and wanted to take pictures of everything so she wouldn't forget their house. This is what made the cut.

Thanksgiving

We had such a great Thanksgiving with my mom, my sister Christine, my brother Tim and his family. We had lots of yummy food and got to spend lots of time with each other. Isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about? The after math of lots of good food

Halloween 2009

All dressed up

Trip to Cali

Disneyland

Crew, Kennedy and Taylor in front of the pumpkin mickey

(there was a huge line on the other side and after trying to get the kids to smile into the sun...we understood why!)

Cooling off and playing in the water...a total life saver from the heat

Its a small world. The kids favorite ride at Disneyland

The tea cups...another favorite

Pictures with some of the girls favorite "people"

Taylor and I had lunch with the princesses

Taylor was in heaven

After three days at disneyland we headed for Huntington beach

Playing on the Peir

Our preferred mode of transportation

Swimming at the hotel pool (waterslides, hot tub, 3 1/2' deep pools and fire pits...the girls didn't ever want to leave)

the koi pond at the hotel (pretty from afar, a little freakish upclose)

With all the fountains, ponds, and pools at the hotel the girls were constantly entertained

After walking down the beach at lunch time Taylor started wanting to eat but only pancakes, lucky for us the first beachside grill we stopped at served breakfast all day long so she got her wish.
