Escape to the sunshine

We escaped the freezing weather and took a trip to sunny California

We rode the reindeer carousal at the South Coast Plaza mall

 We enjoyed breakfast at Sugar Shack in Huntington Beach

...and of course we hit up Disneyland. I felt really old when I got nauseous from the spinning. I told Tyler to stop because I had just fed Hugh and I was worried he would spit up, but really I was feeling yucky!

 The Rabbit Hole from Alice and Wonderland.  Adele kept knocking on the door yelling for the hop-hop to come out!

 I made the family go to Captain EO- Who doesn't enjoy Michel Jackson killing bad guys with his awesome dance moves? Hugh sat through the whole movie with his big, crooked glasses :)

 The highlight of the whole day was when Adele got a big hug from Minnie

We really had a great trip. The weather couldn't have been better and the kids had a really great time.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am so grateful for my sweet kids and my little family. This boy's smile melts my heart

 She is so funny and always entertains us all. . .

 Little America was so wonderful- everyone enjoyed something!

 The rest of the Lambert fam

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Love this little boy

This boy is the sweetest, most loving little guy! He is a mover just like his big sister and is already into everything. He is trying so hard to stand by himself right now and I have a feeling walking isn't too far off. I was hoping he would be my calm & mellow little guy, but I realized that his parents both have aggressive, feisty personalities so that is probably not going to happen :)

The kids are growing way too fast...

This girl is so amazing, she is smart and beautiful- we are in trouble!!

These poses of hers kill me, but getting a pic of her holding still and looking at the camera are few and far between.

This little boy melts my heart. I love his blue eyes and his big mouth. He just started giving us kisses- they involve a open mouth covering my entire lips!!

Splash Park

We love the splash park. Adele runs around like crazy and Hugh even enjoys getting his feet wet.
This is part of the splash park in St. George. It is such a neat little place with a river and a water fountain for the kids to play in. I told Adele to give me her best model pose!
Love these boys, I think Hugh enjoyed watching the kids run around and splash the water.

Fourth of July Evergreen Parade

We have participated in the Evergreen Parade since I was 5, and we always complained to my dad that we wanted a float. Well this year was the year that we made it happen. Tyler and Colton constructed this fancy Rootbeer Float Float and I was responsible for decorations.

Adele and I got ready to throw out rootbeer barrel candies!
Everything she does is hilarious to me! She enjoyed the float so much and had a ball riding down the parade route.
Pretty sure she keep picking the cotton and we were left with half of what you see here by the end :)

We are family

I kinda think these two look alike, what do you think??

Hugh

Hugh

Adele

Love these two- they have so many similarities, yet have such individual personalities that make our family what it is.

He is a blessed boy

We blessed Hugh last Sunday, we had a great day with so many of our family and friends!

Finally, our remodel is complete!

We began demolition on this kitchen right after Hugh was born. So we have been with out for two months now and we are so happy to have a new one!

Before: (We removed the bar to open up both rooms)

After:

Before:

After:

Before: (We connected this room with the kitchen so it wasn't segmented off)

After: (We added a little desk on the left that overlooks the yard)

Before: (We removed the division of the two rooms and took out the closet on the right)

After: (All completely open now)
Before:
After: (I am in love with the tile I chose and my fun new farmhouse sink)
Another little remodel: (Also love this tile)
I am so happy with the way everything turned out. It was worth the hassle of having no kitchen with a newborn and a two year old to chase around in the process. We are loving every minute we spend in this new room, it has completely changed the feel of the house.

Our Little Circus

Went to "Rio" with Matt + Coreena. Adele kept her glasses on the whole movie- she loved it!

Daddy and his cute little monsters
Adele discovered Q-tips
Smiliest baby ever- even after shots! He is over 13 lbs now at two months, gotta love the chunk :)

Mother's Day

We had a good Mother's day- love these kids!

Adele Turns Dos

We celebrated Adele's second birthday on Cinco de Mayo...

She is getting so smart and is such a sweet girl. Love this little face.

The party included ponchos for the kids and a unicorn pinata of course!

Grammy and brother Hugh (2 months old now)

Finished off her party with her birthday cake!

Our Newest Family Members

Tyler made a little purchase at our local IFA. He wanted to bring me home a "surprise"

Adele is in heaven and loves these little ducks, almost a little too much. Those big boots of hers are almost lethal.
We are excited to see them grow and change and just hope that we can keep them alive!
