I LOVE GLENDALE

The kids were incredible on the drive down to CA!!! We were thrilled to see Grandpa and Grandma Gardiner at Islands then Grandma Gayle at the hotel!!!

Saturday we started our Glendale adventure from my childhood!! We went to Griffith Park and the did the little train and the horses!! Oh the memories . . . I was overwhelmed in a wonderful way all day!!

Yes, just like I remember!!!

The actual blue trains I rode in!!! Loving this!!!

Trent is the only one we could get to ride the horses!! We loved this as kids!!! Especially Johnny and Paul!!!

Looks the same!!!

Blake did the "go around."

Grandma Dell and Grandpa Reese's old house!!! I wanted to go in soooo badly!!! I love that house!!!!!

The home I was born in . . .

Then we moved next door!

Back to the home I was born in for one quick note, they put a hand written "It's a Girl" sign in the window!!

Toll Jr. High

Comb's house on Sonora we rented before moving to UT!! Had puppies here!!

Oh, my Western house!! But it should be yellow!! I love this house and died no one answered the door when I knocked!! Next time I will get to go in!!!!!

We have a new baby niece! Little Evelyn was born to James and Chelsea on March 16! What a sweet little thing. Congratulations McKinney family! Evelyn Maryssa holding her new cousin Evelyn Nicole, both named after Grandma Evelyn! (Evelyn Mildred)

St. Patti's Day

Trying to get a good picture I told the kids to say "Disneyland!" They went crazy talking about Grandma and Grandpa coming, Blake yelled to the air, "They're our Grandma and Grandpa not yours!" (He was just trying to join all the excitement!)

They say . . .

Blake "Mom I am concerned Nacho Libre is going to drive our boat!"
***
Grant told Blake he loves how Blake says "bana" for banana. Blake said, "That is because I am Joshua Becker!"
***
Grant told Blake, "Lydia is your baby, my baby, Trent's baby and Dad's baby. Julie had her for all of us to share."
***
Blake "I want Mickey to hold me!"
***
Took off Blake's diaper and tossed it towards the back door. He ran over and looked in it, "Mom my penis fell off, it is in my diaper!"
***
Lydia has 2 bottom teeth! (got them last week) Lydia fell out of the bumbo seat onto the counter!

It's a Boy

We can't wait to meet John Michael, or Jack, in July!!! HOORAY!!!

Love the Hat

Go Jazz

Grant was very excited for his Jazz Game with Dad!! He got a Pez from the Ref, a ball from the guy behind them and a pen!! He saw them throwing so much to the higher crowds that he told Josh next time they should get seats higher up!! Ha Ha Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the awesome tickets!!

Visiting the Puppies

We drove to Brigham City to see the puppies! They had our litter in the kitchen, 2 weeks old. Another litter off the kitchen 4 weeks old! Blake was nervous but ended up loving it!!

Grant was not nervous and ended up struggling!!

The puppies in the other room were making a lot of noise! Blake kept saying, "The black one wants us to get him out!" He must have said it 35 times!!

Dori and Lydia!! We loved her pups, she loves our daughter! She really wanted Lydia to pet the puppies! (I did not!)

Blake really wanted to hold 2 puppies!!

Grant warmed up to them a little bit, a very little bit!!

We held the 4 week olds too! They let Blake try to hold the black one he was obsessed with! Anne would set it on his lap and it would walk right off!! She tried to teach him how to hold on to it . . . he put his hands in the right position, did not grasp and it walked off again! It was very funny!!
