Oops!
I don't know how Snow White didn't make it into the previous batch of pictures but she didn't. She was another favorite of mine. She was super cute, and had the perfect voice. :)
A few from Disneyland
Okay so obviously this trip was for Bella since we have exactly one picture with Liam in it (he was sleeping most of the time anyway). Also the pictures with me and Ryan in them are scarce as well...I am waiting to see what the rest of the family got and then I will post some more. But for now here are some of the highlights from our trip this year!
Everyone needs a picture with Mickey Mouse...unfortunately we never saw Minnie! :(
And of course the princess pictures that will be most treasured.
Jasmine was cute with Bella, and they had matching "golden" shoes, which made Bella grin! Also if you notice her hair, that is a completely different post I will be doing once I have all the footage from it. It was cute/super annoying/way too expensive and a never again occurrence! :)
Cinderella is Bella's favorite and she was the first princess we got to see in the Fantasy Faire! Unfortunately the sun was all spotty on their faces for the classic look and smile pose, but this one was cute!
We got to see Sleeping Beauty twice! This was the fantasy faire sighting, the other one she was in too big of a hurry for a photo. Same with Cinderella's fairy godmother who was darling, but she gave Bella a hug. We were sad we couldn't get a picture with her.
Belle was our favorite (Ryan & I's), She was so super cute with Bella and she came over to Liam and was so cute with him too! That's how we got our only picture of him! :)
Bella was very concerned that Ariel wasn't wearing her pink dress and she asked her about it. Ariel told her that she had been on a date with Prince Eric and she spilled spaghetti ALL over her dress and so it was being cleaned now. Then she asked Bella if she liked her blue one instead though, and she said yes. Luckily Ariel also pointed out that she was wearing her blue dress on the signing book Bella had! lol!
What's funny about seeing Tiana there was that Bella and her cousin seemed the most excited to see her! It surprised us, cause she isn't their favorite princess, so it was funny.
Bella wanted these ears and wore them for probably 30 seconds before taking it off. The elastic band bugged her too much! But you gotta have one of those classic disneyland hats right!?
Rapunzel was so cute! Her and Flynn Rider had there own tower to do pictures in. The line was long, and they only let so many people in so we were lucky! Anyway Rapunzel danced around with Bella (and of course none of those pictures turned out! :( ) and Flynn was really funny and great with Bella too. I love this face he is making in this picture! So in the character! lol! Also after we left Bella got this look on her face and said "Oh no! I forgot to ask Flynn if I could see the crown in his pouch!" lol. If you haven't seen the movie, you must. It is adorable! We loved it and it's so entertaining!
Bella and I had a chance to walk through some of the toon town houses while waiting for everyone to get off a ride and so I tried to snap this pic of us. Unfortunately since my camera isn't a point and shoot, this didn't work so well. It's blurry! lol! But it shows I was there with her right!?? :)
The Dumbo ride was a big event for us! I don't know why but it was a very loved ride and very much anticipated! The best ride was Storybook Land, which we didn't have our camera with cause we left it in the stroller with Liam and the grandparents.
The beach was a much needed relaxing day after three crazy days of Disneyland. Bella was in heaven playing in the waves with her cousin. She was having SO much fun as you can see, until a wave got her to trip (I think cause the sand probably got real mushy, like it does when the water comes), and she went completely under the water....lol...poor girl. Sand all over in her hair, and she was freezing cause it wasn't the warmest day. Another downer was all the seagulls trying to get our food. They are fearless, and scared poor Bella senseless. Ryan had to walk a perimeter around us while we ate or the Seagulls would lunge for our lunch and totally freak her out! :)

Our Family Picture
I thought I would snap a picture of our family for the Christmas card by using the self timer on my camera, and a tripod. Then I lent one of my studio lights to my brother in law and so we decided to go over to their place for the picture so they could take it. Man I was glad I did that! It was SO hard! A 3 month old and a 3 year old who can't keep her hands off the 3 month old, combined with a cranky husband (he always gets cranky when I want to do pictures....surprise!), made it VERY difficult even with someone else snapping the picture! Thank goodness my sister in law Jenn stepped in to save the day! She also does photography so it was really nice that she was there to help! Thanks to her and Landon (for holding the magical sunshine that gets Liam to look and sometimes smile) we were able to get this great pic! I did have to photoshop Liams head from another picture though. And I also had to liquify my face and arm a bit to get rid of the baby weight I still have! lol!
Here is some backblogging...
With all the craziness I never posted anything from the summer. Well I finally got these pictures off of our point and shoot, and thought I would blog them!
Bella made a new friend this summer, Parker, and when we went to their apartment there was this truck in the parking lot. Bella started to laugh and pointed saying "Look at that car! It's all tangled up!" It cracked us up so I had to take a picture! :)
At the beginning of summer, Ryans' mom hosted a "girls weekend" at the lake. Moms only! So Ryan got to stay home for the long weekend with Bella, and since his brother had a scouting thing he had to be at, he also took our niece! They had so much fun having a sleepover, but Bella was having a hard time...I guess the word is sharing? She just wanted everything her cousin had. If she had it, it was the best. End of story! It made for a very exhausting weekend for Ryan! :)
Her absolute favorite thing to do at the lake was ride the "foy wheeler" this year. She took every opportunity she got. Luckily mom doesn't know how to drive one (by choice) so she didn't have to take her on any rides, but she wore Ryan out for sure!
It must have been mating season...these two were just hanging out on the driveway in plain view. No shame! lol! Click on it to make it bigger. It really blows my mind that my point and shoot camera caught so much detail...also it's SO weird how they mate...we can't quite figure it out.
Bella loved the beach this year. Playing in the sand was her favorite, but she also loved to jump over the "waves"!
Yes I know she looks naked, I assure you, she is not. She had just started writing her letters a lot better so Ryan snapped this cute shot of her! Her 'E' now has three lines like it is supposed to! lol!

One for the Christmas card! :)
So I had about 5 minutes of Bella holding Liam before he lost it! So this was the best I got! I wish he was looking at the camera and smiling (right?) but he gets really nervous when Bella is around! lol!
Also about a week ago we started decorating for Christmas...yes that's right, BEFORE Thanksgiving! So shoot us! We love Christmas! Monday for family night we put up the tree and decorated it! It was so much fun! Bella and Liam got to open their new ornaments...which I failed to take pictures of. Bella got a ballerina one since she is obsessed with dancing this year and actually shows real promise in the ballet dept! Liam got an airplane, and I got Ryan a grinch one since he is somewhat of a Grinch around Christmas! ;P I'm mostly kidding! :) Here are a few pics from it. Yes the two of the decor are blurry...I was too lazy to set up the tripod....sad, I know!

Liam's baby blessing
Liam was blessed this last Sunday, November 7th! It went really well! I got up and bore my testimony in like the first time since me and Ryan have been married (6 years!), only cause I thought I had done it at Bella's blessing also, which Ryan informed me after that I had not. I just felt guilty doing it at one kids and not the others...and now I still feel guilty...for not doing it at Bella's! :) Anyway Liam looked super dashing in his getup! And super chunky! A shirt & tie really bring out the chub in his face!
Yes, yesterday was the fall post...
Today is the winter post! It snowed a little bit today. Not the first snow, not by a long shot. We had about 3-4 inches a few weeks ago, and then had some great mid 60's weather, but I feel that fall is coming to a close! :) Bella wanted to go out and "play" in the snow...which there wasn't any to play in, so she just went out and did jumping jacks in it and "ate" some! :) While I was taking the pictures she made the comment "Mom you're just taking lots more pictures of me than Liam!" Sad that she is lacking attention that much, that this meant the world to her! :)
