Happy Birthday, Princess Emily!

My baby is ONE!!!!! This is unreal to me and continues to leave me speechless just how quickly time flies by.

Take us back to California!

We planned our vacation at the right time this year, because I seriously could not take one more day of freezing, grey skied, inversion weather here in Boise. As the big day approached, I think I was getting more excited than Spencer to head to the Happiest Place on Earth...Disneyland, of course. I was a little nervous taking an almost one year old with us, but she had a fabulous time people watching and going on rides!

And of course this guy was in 7th Heaven...

We made some trips to the beach as well. If we lived down there, this kid would be a beach bum for sure. He absolutely loves it.

We tried and tried for that iconic Disneyland shot in front of the flower Mickey at the entrance, but we failed at nearly every attempt.

I think we all shed a tear as we boarded the plane to leave the sunshine and come home to buckets of snow, but we had a big first birthday party to get ready for. :-)
