Quite The Sandwich

She'd kill me if I told you she ate the whole thing.

Bubble Chine

Not a bubble MAchine, it'a a "bubble chine".

The Culprit

Mom and Mimi have been cooking and baking like crazy while they've been here.  Well, one night Mimi made homemade pizza and it just didn't taste quite the same as it usually does.  Then, Mom made chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies and they didn't turn out the same as they normally would have either.  This morning, I caught Mimi using pancake mix instead of flour when she was making biscuits and gravy!! 

I wondered why the pizza crust was so much thicker than it normally is...

Ammie vs Garbage Disposal

The garbage disposal won.  (Actually, Chad fixed it!!) 

Thanksgiving - A Little Late

I'm behind on everything this month.

We went to California this year for Thanksgiving. This trip, we stayed with Chad's sister Ana and her boyfriend Keith. We had a lot of fun and it actually ended up being a pretty relaxing trip, I think because we had a few more days than what we normally would have. We gave Ana and Keith lots of tips (I'm sure it was a lot more than what they wanted to hear), Ana is pregnant and is due on June 2nd!! We're excited for them, they'll be great parents. Brynn really had a fun time with "Uncle Keith". We're hoping they're going to have a girl, we have plenty of stuff to let them borrow!!

Chad's youngest sister Jami also came home from a two-month trip on her ship the day before we got there. We were really bummed that we weren't able to be there to see them pull in to San Diego (Chad was off work that week, but I wasn't). We did see lots of pictures though, it looked really cool. I got a text message from Jami shortly after she saw everyone and it said "You knew Ana was pregnant and you didn't tell me?!". ;o) I didn't want to ruin Ana's surprise!!

On Thanksgiving Day, we went to Chad's parents' house for a nice meal!! Thanks for everything Jody, Ana and Keith!!

The day after Thanksgiving, Chad, Brynn, Ana and I headed to Big Lots and Toys-R-Us to see if we could find some deals. We didn't get what we wanted at Big Lots (that's what happens when you don't get up super early in the morning, everything is gone!) and we didn't really have anything that we wanted to get from Toys-R-Us but we ended up coming home with a big box... you'll see what it was in a few weeks!!

Here are a few of the pictures from our trip (I have several other posts to do from when we were there!!):















From left to right: Jami, Keith, Ana, Jody, Mike, Me, Chad and Brynn, of course!!

Auntie Bri's Visit!!

I completely forgot to put up a post about Auntie Bri's visit last month!! She was able to take 10 days out of her busy work and school schedule to spend some time with us. Here are some pictures from her trip, other than the ones that I posted from Tombstone!! Thanks for coming to visit Bri!! (Seriously, I need to tan.)





















You can also see a bunch of posts that Bri posted in August and the beginning of September HERE.

Gramma!!

Gramma Jody was here for your birthday party, left that night and then was back on Tuesday! She didn't get a chance to see you much while she was here, so she made an extra trip to spend more time with you!! (Daddy and I even went on a date while she was here - thanks Jody!)

Here are some pictures from Gramma's visit!!

Tombstone

Auntie Bri was here for 10 days, she decided she wanted to go on another road trip while she was here. In March when she was here, we took her to Sedona. This time, we were debating on Tombstone, AZ or The Grand Canyon and decided on Tombstone. It's a good thing we did... it flooded at The Grand Canyon!!

I drove for about an hour, then Chad took over. He gets bored sitting in the passenger seat. We drove through Florence, Catalina, Oro Valley and Tucson... three of the four cities, I've never been to before. There wasn't a whole lot to see from the road that we were on in Florence except for a few prisons. Catalina and Oro Valley were pretty but there wasn't a whole lot to see there either.

Once we got onto the freeway in Tucson, there was an accident and we had to get back off. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get there. Tombstone is a pretty neat little town... I'd say it's a one time trip though. There's a little ghost town that's about 20 minutes from our house that you could probably get the same effect from. But atleast now we can say we've been to Tombstone.

Here are some pictures from our fun trip!!

While we were stuck in traffic, we followed this semi. I thought it was a pretty cool website, so I had to take a picture!







Um, they spelled TOMORROW wrong...













Notice, the horses are smiling!!

Brynn With Grammie!

While Grammie was here for two weeks, we took LOTS of pictures!! We had a lot of fun!! She taught Brynn lots of new things and was really trying to get Brynn to start walking... oh well, she just isn't ready yet!! Thanks for everything Grammie, especially for taking her swimming!!!
