January 2011 Photos


 Michael was in charge of History Day at the High School this year.  There were some awesome projects.  This one won first place in the group division for displays and will go onto the county level of competition.
 These are the yummy cookies I baked and wrapped up as a special treat for the top two groups or individuals in each category who are going to county level of competition in Riverside.

 This is my first Blog since 2010!!!  I have spent the last tow months (it will be March in 2 days) feverishly working on a blog book to publish for our family (kind of like our own family journal) this entire time.  The completed project is 310 pages long and is being published through www.Blurb.com.  With my 20% off coupon code, my book costs $80 including S/H and tax.  Not too shabby!  The book covers the last 4 years of our lives, from around the time Alexander was born.  Future books will be one years worth of blog entries, and not 4...


 We went to John's Incredible Pizza Company with Michael's Dad, Aunt Evelyn, and Grandma Iottini one random Saturday.  It was great fun.  Michael and I both got in for free with coupons we received in the mail.  We only had to pay for Alexander. Sweet!







 Kaylie came to Disneyland with us!  Yeah!







 We love our free character photos with Chip and Dale and Pluto!  Thank you Chase Disney Credit Card!  We get a free 5x7 photo of the characters every morning we go to CA Adventure between 10:30-noon and line up to get our photo taken.









 45min wait for Toy Story Mania!












 Big hugs for Minnie!


 Just reading the local magazines...

 I want this one, Mommy.
 Michael took me on a date bowling while Kaylie babysat the kids.  We ate at A&W afterwards.  This was our first time bowling since we were married (over 5.5yrs ago!).  It was fun at the Morongo Bowling alley in Cabazon.

 San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands has a special train day every year.  Alexander loves it!
 Here comes Thomas!


 Alexander was the train conductor.  So cute!



 The Hall of Mammals
 Is something coming up behind me???










 Michael made us stuffed bell peppers. Delicious!



 I like my bananas.


 Bath time

 Getting ready for bed.  Bella's favorite pajamas.

 Art work from Alexander's preschool.
























 Yes, more photos from another trip to Disneyland.  We went two weeks in a row and wore ourselves out!





 Isabella absolutely LOVED Winnie the Pooh!  Tyler joined the party.  So did Kaylie!  She is an awesome helper (friend from church I tutor in ASL- through Dehesa Charter School homeschooling program and she is our awesome babysitter).

















 She fell asleep in the car.  Another miracle!





 I got ambitious and made 24 croissant sandwiches with chicken salad (my first time making it- so yummy) for my January lesson in Relief Society.









 Yummy spaghetti casserole with fresh bell peppers.
 Can I go to school with brother?
