Sorry it has been so long. I am trying to catch up here....Laralei's first birthday...family party!

Emergency Essentials

Shawn and I have been working on building our food storage and I found out about this really neat calculator by Emergency Essentials. You input your family, and then the food that you currently have stored. The calculator generates and estimate on how long the food would last. It makes recommendations on nutrient areas that are deficient in your current supply! So neat! There is a link to the calculator on the side of my blog!

Disneyland 2009

This year we all went to Disneyland for Free on my birthday! We had a lot of fun introducing Laralei to the Tiki Birds, Carasoul, Pirates of the Carabean, Dumbo, It's a Small World, Peter Pan and Neverland etc. Her eyes were wide and she hardly made a noise, blinked or moved. When the rides were all over she clapped her hands. She was a good baby all day and I believe that she had a good time. I had a wonderful birthday. Thanks Disneyland!

Laralei liked the tea cup music...

"A Very Merry Un-Birthday to You!"

Fun at the beach

We had a wonderful Friday on the beach with Grandpa Mike and Grandma.

Laralei kept putting her face in the sand to make nose imprints in the sand. Consequently she was covered in sand from head to foot. She loved it! She ran in the water, dug in the sand and chased seagulls.

Post-It Baby!

Shawn figured out how to smuggle Laralei into class with him!
