Merry Christmas

If we ever send a Christmas Card this is the picture you would see

Siblings

I always thought these girls wouldn't start arguing until teenage years

but I see it starts even before school years.

Elizabeth will say No and Millie says Yea

This goes on for a while EVERYDAY.

Eventually Millie gets frustrated, bites her sister

and if Elizabeth hasn't beat her, I stop them.

Can't wait to see what happens when Millie

is able to express her emotions with words.

2.5 weeks in the best place on earth

So we spent the last 2.5 in California and

we were NOT ready to leave when we did.

First stop, we were with family celebrating

the life of Grandpa Ralph Marlin Price.

We spent time with Grandma

After playing with Claire in San Francisco,

(pictures not here)

We played with Jackie who happened to

be stuck on the mainland!

Played with the Pierces

Met this little man!

Hung out with this lovely lady

(wish I could do this everyday)

WENT TO SEA WORLD FINALLY!

Thanks Dave

Played with lots and lots of friends.

Again the pictures aren't here.

Then we finished up with the wedding of my sister.

The Springs girls together. I can't wait until we

all live next together in a few years.

Oh and Millie ate so much cake it's

Ridiculous

Fourth of July

This year we went to Melissa's again for

Independence Day!

We just might make it a tradition as long as we're here.

There were burgers, steaks, hot dogs, lobster, shrimp

and a whole lot more.

Millie tried the lobster and loved it.

But not as much as the watermelon.

Elizabeth loved squirting people with the cannon

Then booked it when people wanted to splash her

Jesse LOVED being in the sun & water at the same

time! It's a rarity here.

Millie learned how to ride a bike haha

We had fun with all the family and friends

that were there. If only everyday was filled

with warm sun, great food and friends to share it with.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Almost a month in California

My computer is on the fritz and I had to go through all

these hoops just to get these photos on here.

So in true Price Blog fashion I will keep it short and

SWEET!

The girls and I left the rainy state of Washington and

went down south for a graduation of this girl.

I can't believe my niece is so old!

Isn't she absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

So after Bakersfield (the armpit of California)

we hopped around from place to place

Saw my lovely grandmother

The Price's

Hung out with the Marshall's

Cute boys!!!!

Max consoled E when she fell and scrapped

her knee. From then on she was complaining

and limping. Ultimately being pushed in a stroller.

We FINALLY met Damien.

Then hung out with the Snapps at the park

Then out we went to Desert HOT Springs.

This was the first time the cousins had been together

in a long time.

Millie contracted Roseola (self diagnosed) from who knows where?

my poor baby felt so bad with her fever

Auntie Emily gave her snuggles

Then she got better and we enjoyed more of the sunshine

My goal was to get my kids looking tan again

and that goal was accomplished!

The trick is keeping them this way....

The last few days were spent 3 blocks from the beach

We loved our trip! The girls missed Jesse terribly

and so did I, but the trip was great.

Maybe next time we will make it 2.5 weeks

If there was one thing I could change it would be

that I could have spent time with one more friend

I HATE that I didn't see her. BUT we will be back

in 5 short weeks from now and she is my first stop!!!

Party in the Great Northwest. . .

We had her party at the park. It was cold but Not raining!

She hung out

Jesse was the face painter

Her friends came

There were cupcakes and ice cream

and Jesse bought pog to celebrate her

hawaiian roots. HA

It turned out to be a good little party.

Then after, we went to a fair with

pony rides, fire trucks, tae kwon do

and yummy food!

Happy Birthday Little One!

Happy Birthday Millie Bug

One year ago today you were born!

Millie you are such a breath of fresh air.

I LOVE YOU with all my soul.

You are such a happy child and love your sister

so much. Everyone that sees you thinks you are the

cutest little 16lb lady they have ever seen.

Happy Birthday Little One!

Easter Saturday

We started the day off with some crying because Mom

made them sit next to the weird bunny creature.

Elizabeth only did it because Millie did it.

(which I hope this isn't the start of how she will make her future decisions)

Raced some horses and looked at some real ones

Got stuck in an apple

Then got some candy filled eggs.

The field was 4 times this size

After naps we got daddy and went to

The Procession of the Species

The city put a bunch of chalk out for the kids to

draw and closed off the roads. Got to Love Olympia!

There were lots of Species!!!!

This guy was screaming "shark" the whole time

it was funny.

In the end This one was happy to be in the sun

And This one looked like she had the

best day ever!
