Dustin's Turns 35!!!!

We celebrated Daddy's 35th Birthday last Thursday.

Emma had so much fun making him a cake and a card.

We had such a nice time together. We made individual pizzas, had cake, sang the Birthday song, and opened presents. Emma wanted to get him a pinata so bad, but I just know that it wouldn't be as fun for him as it would be for her! Emma blowing out the candles

I made this card. Nice lighthouse, if I do say so myself.
We got him a new shirt
He tried it on . . .
After we put the girls to bed he rented a movie (free on your birthday, I guess).
We watched Evan Almighty; it was pretty good.

Miley's First Meal

The date was Wednesday October 24, 2007

Mmmmmm. . . .

Warm, bland rice cereal.

This is actually her first bite EVER!!!This is her 4th or 5th bite

My Sweet Second

You can kinda see her bottom teeth in this picture.

She is SO sweet
I love her little face.

My Funny Firstborn

The other night we were getting the girls ready for bed and Emma comes into my room like this. She said it was a hula-hoop and began moving her hips around. (For those of you who can't tell, it is her toilet seat!) GROSS!!!! When Emma woke up and saw the rain, she begged me to let her have her umbrella. She had such a good time with Daddy outside, in her pull-up.
We got her a new reading chair for her bedroom. I love it and so does she.

With the Steven's Family

Okay, I really love this picture, because I was just sitting on the floor

and Cami just planted herself in my lap, like it was her normal seat.

So I took a picture of us. I love it. Here is a picture of Emma and Cami playing
Here are some pics of Miley and Caylee. It was so cool, because

as I was taking these pictures, Jessica showed me the pictures she has

of Emma and Cami playing when they were this age. I was blown away.

Playing and Sharing!!!

SO CUTE

Disneyland with Christina and Sebastian

I love this picture of the kids with Tigger.

Sebastian is so cute; he LOVES to hug the characters. Emma was so excited to see Princess Jasmine and "the guy"

I just love the look on her face.

Our Trip to Santa Barbara

This week we went on vacation to Santa Barbara.

We did so much fun stuff.

DAY ONE

Our first stop was Westmont College to visit Bianca. It was so nice to see her. She gave us a tour of her new school.Standing on a bridge
It was so beautiful there
The gardens
This is the church from A Walk to Remember
After we left Westmont we went to Starbucks and then to our hotel. After resting for a little while we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, then we walked up and down State Street.

DAY TWO

We went to Sambo's to breakfast, and it really didn't seem racist! It was amazingly good. We had the Santa Barbara Omelet (egg, cheddar, bacon, and avacado). Then we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo.

Tropical Birds

When Emma saw the lemur she started yelling, "Hi Zaboo!" That is the name of the Lemur in her favorite morning show Zaboomafoo. She was so excited to see him!!!
The elephant

The turtles
The train that didn't work
Smiley Miley Miley and daddy.

We got to see him eat
The gorilla
We told Emma that she came from monkeys.
Just kidding.
She thought the gorilla next to her was a penguin. We said, "No, it's a gorilla." She said, "It's a PENGUIN, named Peep."
Beautiful Snow Leopard
The Lion was right there, BAM!
Dustin and the Lion
Emma and Mufasa
ROAR!!!!

okay, he was really just yawning.

After the zoo, we went to lunch. When Emma went to the little girl's room, dad made friends with another guy in the restaruant. The guy was wearing a nice shirt and tie, and he was talking to Emma. She looked at him and said, "Are you a doctor?" It was SOOO funny!!!

Then we drove around while the girls napped. We passed the mission and then went all through the hills and looked at mansions.
Beautiful
The beach

State street
When we got back to the hotel we went swimming.


Miley didn't want to get her hair wet.

I thought he was going to make a silly face.
We went to Ruby's for Dinner. Emma's Menu was a car.
Daddy and Miley
Emma took a picture of Daddy and Miley. She really thinks it came out, but as you can see it is really Mustard and Ketchup.

DAY THREE

We got coffee and muffins at The Daily Grind, and walked State Street. Emma got a cool microphone toy. Then we went to the Mission for a tour, but didn't get very far.

It would be a nice view on a sunny day. You can see the ocean in the background.

family freezing
I promise I saw Jack Johnson, while Dustin was shopping.
We went to The Habit for Lunch. BEST BURGERS EVER.
Befor and After
Then we came home. It was a horrible 4 hour car ride, but we made it.

Now we really need to take a vacation.
