Clipper Game

While we were home we also went to the clipper game. My dad has season tickets to the clippers and Chase has never been! Can you believe that! So it was a must... The whole gang went ( minus kori and brad who couldn't go :( )My mom and dad, my brother john and his wife brooke ( they got a babysitter for their kiddos), My sis Lori and her husband Haws and they even brought their little 6 month old baby James! I was super excited cause I called dibs on holding James the whole time. People gave us crazy looks as we went to our seats, I can tell they were thinking.. why did they bring a baby.. the noise is going to make him cry! Little did they know that first of all James is an amazingly good baby, second of all Lori bought him these head phones where it blocks all the sound out, he could not hear a thing! It was soo crazy! he even fell asleep by half time and slept the rest of the game! he looked soo cute people were even taking pictures of him with their cell phones, it was classic. It was a fun time, we went to dinner before the game at this really good restaurant at the JW Marriott right by the staples center. We ate at this special table that was made out of wood placed right in the middle of the restaurant, it was really neat.

The wood table is under the red covering, u can see the corner of it but Chase was in love with it...

Side shot of the table, u can see it in the background with the high chairs around it. Chase is front of the classic Magic Johnson Statue

Disneyland and New Years

I just had to go to disneyland when I was home. It is one of my favorite places and I have not been since we have been married. So this was on Chase's and I's to do list. A plus was that my parents bought us day passes for christmas so that made it even more fun :) haha. They had Disneyland all decked out christmas still. My favorite was the Haunted Mansion, they had it decorated like the nightmare before Christmas it was really cool. We had a lot of fun and got there bright and early because my mom said it was going to be so busy! And she was right.... We got there at 8 and hit indiana, splash mountain, haunted mansion and thunder mountain by 10 30. Then all of a sudden the park got crazy! all the fast passes got sold out, lines for evey ride was at least 2 hours, we heard on the news that they stopped letting people into Disneyland by 12 because they were full... so we went to space mountain and traveled over to california adventure to finish the day. It was sooo much fun! Disneyland just makes me happy :)

keeping ourselves entertained in two hours lines...
Yes, I was the driver for Indiana Jones.. Loved it!
No idea which rides we were on when taking these pictures.. must of been a really scary one hahah
Yes they brought back Captain Eo... Classic!



Chase begged me to let him ride this... too funny the little girl next to him kept saying her horse was faster.. lolA bugs life.. such a great 3D film! it is a little scary for little kids though, we heard at least 5 babies crying during it, but Chase and I enjoyed it!

For New Year's we had a pajama party! I am so mad because none of us took pictures, i only took some of my adorable niece and nephews. It was a blast. We had the Clawson's, King's, and us Davis' over. We made Cafe Rio food, Ate a ton, played games, and just hung out. I have not seen most of these people since I have been married and I just loved seeing them.. it makes me miss home sooo much! One game i think everyone should purchase is called Things... I just bought it at walmart. Such a fun game! It defianlty brings out something funny in everyone :)
Sweet Caroline...
Brothers... I just love this picture!

Christmas time!

I got two weeks off of work for Christmas which was amazing! It was the longest I have ever gotten off since working here for over two years.. We took full advantage of it, family time, Disneyland, new years even parties, lots of movies. The minute we got home we went to my sister Lori's house. I had not seen James since he was born, he had grown so much! This is Chase and I playing with him... Giving Chase a welcome home present :)

Seeing little James for the first time..
We then went on a walk around the Harbor to look at Christmas lights...

Love this picture of my mom and sister ...
The whole gang minus my dad cause was sick :(

Christmas Eve we went to my brother Johnny's house and had dinner, did the nativity scene, opened pajamas, and had lots of fun family time. The boys just love dressing up its sooo funnyChristmas day we all ate breakfast with at my parents house, opened up our presents and then went to my Grandmas for the annual Christmas day feast. So much fun! you can never go wrong with family, the name game, and doing Christmas chimes. It all went by way to fast. I have been looking forward to this for so long, and now that it is over it makes me really sad. Chase did really good this year, of course he always does so good with presents, he really is like the best present giver ever. He spoiled me, but I'm not complaining.We also got a Ipad from my parents... im obessed with it! This Christmas was just amazing... Lukey doing his superman...Opening presents.. Choas :)Little James and meDoesn't he look like he could be our kid :) haha

My dad and Tan Man.. Love it..

Temple Lights

Oh the temple lights... I just love this time of year when we can drive up to Salt Lake and just feel the christmas spirit. We started our day eating lunch at Chipotle. So good!! Then we went and saw the Joseph Smith Movie which never gets old I love that movie, I think I even caught Chase shedding a tear :). We then went and walked around the temple and the lights. After that we did a little shopping and finished our night off at Chilis! We were starving but just felt like appetizers so we thought Chilis would be just perfect!

Gingerbread

I know I am horrible at posting on this blog, but there really is not much going on when your husband is in school and you work full time. For thanksgiving we went to chase's parents house. I had to work the day after thanksgiving and we would have to drive back on thanksgiving day. But Chase's parents were sooo nice they moved thanksgiving to Wednesday just so we can be there to celebrate and it was wonderful! Of course we did not bring a camera but the whole family was there and it was nice to see everyone.

The other day we got the usual gang together and did our annual gingerbread house night. I am soo bad at building gingerbread houses, I dont know if its my lack of patience or what but my

house always ends up falling apart. This year they had a bet on how long it would take for me to destroy it, needless to say my house actually stayed up this year! Now that i have the building of it down, I just have to work on my decorating skills haha. It was a fun night filled with family, the best holiday movie Home Alone, and some yummy pizza!

The finished result! Lo and Mckay did awesome they had a sled and everything! Ali and Will did a whole village which I was so jealous of I have no idea what Chase's and mine was but it was fun!
