Telemarketing

(If you can't read the caption the guy dressed as the devil is saying, "What makes you think I'm in telemarketing?")

ARRRRGGGGHHH!!! I can't tell you how many telemarketing calls we get a day and I am getting super annoyed. We get WAYY more calls from people like that then we do from actual friends and family. So today I researched how to get rid of these obnoxious people, mind you they are not your standard telemarketing calls. They are almost always "charities", one of them is one we donate to once a year and they continue to bug us all year long. Oh and I got one the other day that was a survey company which I HATE also. I hate that they tell you it will only take a minute and ends up taking 20-30 and of course they are the dumbest questions. So finally I googled these numbers and the majority of them you can call the number back and you get an automated message that allows you to enter your number to put on their do not call list!! WOO HOO!!! Thank goodness for small miracles! Anyway just thought I would vent and share what I learned today. Love to all!

Tender Moment

We were just coming home from getting something to eat and Ryan told me a sweet little tidbit about Reese.

At school today Reese had a Teddy B.E.A.R. picnic, B.E.A.R. stands for something I just can't remember right now. The teacher sent a note home earlier in the week to tell us about the picnic on Friday and that the kids needed to bring a lunch. He usually eats lunch before school but today was a special day. Anyway when we were coming home Ryan told me Reese said his friend forgot to bring a lunch and that he shared his lunch with him. Being pregnant makes me such a boob or maybe that I'm getting older but it just made my heart melt and my eyes tear up. We asked him about it and he said his friend was the only one to forget his lunch and he volunteered to share half his small lunch. Somewhere in Ryan and I's failed parenting we have taught him to be kind or I'd like to think that he is just sweet by nature. Either way it was such a sweet moment with our little Reese I thought I'd share it.

Weekend in So. Cal

Our weekend was awesome! We got into Cali on Thursday early afternoon and started enjoying the wonderful/warm California weather! My cousins sealing was on Friday morning and luncheon later on in the afternoon. It was so nice to be in the temple with my family on my moms side, I can't even remember the last time I was able to do that, it was awesome.

Saturday was the reception at the brides parents house in Hacienda Heights. It was a lot of fun sitting with all the family and chit chatting during the reception. The kids had a blast with cousins they have either never seen or haven't seen in a long time. I can't explain how much fun I had, it was hot in Cali but I was so excited to be with family I haven't seen in so long.

My cousins April and Whitney dancing with Hannah, Abby, and Lauren, they had a blast with their cousins! :)

Sunday was church of course. We went to the ward I was born into WAYY back when. Mostly everyone didn't recognize me other than those that my parents have kept in contact over the years.

Monday was Disneyland!!! YAY!! Of course when we stepped foot out of our hotel room it was already 90 degrees outside. Disneyland was busy of course but the kids were so excited, I wish I could capture on camera how elated they were to just be riding on the tram to get into the park. I remember being their age and feeling like Disneyland was a world created for me! We had a blast, the kids were so well behaved despite the hot weather and somewhat long lines. My cousin Tyler and his wife Vanessa and their kids met us in the morning and we hung out with them until later on in the afternoon. Thanks for meeting up with us Ty and Van!! We stayed at the park ALL DAY and we were able to get to most of the rides the kids wanted to go on. We got a few pictures with the characters and got to sit front row on Main Street for the parade. Lauren was by far the most amazed by the live in person princesses that passed by. When they waved in her direction she waved back and blew kisses. She was definitely dazzled by the beautiful princesses and cool floats. Reese got the most awesome pirate gun that is a skull and bones flashlight, little boys and their toys!! I think the batteries are already dead! Anyway we had such a good weekend with family and friends!! Love to all!

So. Cal here we come!!!

I am so stinkin excited to be able to go back to Cali. We leave tomorrow afternoon and will be there until next Tuesday!!! YAY for a vacation!!! :) I was just there in December with my mom and sister but we weren't there for very long, not long enough to do a ton. So my cousin Brandon is getting married in the LA temple on Friday and this was the perfect excuse to go to Cali for a few days and finally take the kids to Disneyland. I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant so we'll see how this idea of Disneyland goes but I'm excited regardless! I'm sure I'll post pictures from our trip when we get back!

Love to all!
