Oak Loves Mickey

Disneyland 2011

Oakley took her first trip to visit Mickey, Minnie and the magical kingdom over the holiday break. We went to Las Vegas and spent Thanksgiving at my brother's house, where my mom and dad also met up, and then headed down to California to spend 3 days at Disneyland. I was a little worried that Oakley was too young and that it would be a disaster taking her, but to my surprise she could ride most of the rides just sitting on our laps and she LOVED meeting all the different characters, espcially Mickey and Minnie!

Oakley loved It's a small world! It was Baby Einstein comes to life!

Oakley's eyes just glued to it all!

 It was so magical!

She couldn't keep her eyes off of him. She was in heaven.

This was the best part of the trip! It's priceless to see your kid so happy!

Adi and Oakley

Greg was in heaven as much as Oakley was. We have been home for a few days now and he is still talking about it and planning our next visit.

Halloween 2011

Happy  Halloween!

We had a very busy Halloween this year. Oakley and Greg were such great sports and went along with all my dress ups!

   For the ward Halloween party we dressed up as Alice in Wonderland. As you can see Oakley was not having a very good time. I think she was sick of her costume and a little scared of Greg! Lets just say we were only there an hour and it took longer to get ready than the time we actually spent at the party.

 Despite Oakley not enjoying the scary costumes, Greg was the MC of the party and did a great job.

 Our good friends Steve and Vannessa threw a stellar party the saturday before Halloween. We dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf.

Vanessa and I. Her costume was amazing! She and her husband were Catherine and Stephen from Vampire Diaries. Fun times!!!

 Oakley loved getting inside the pumpkin and giving me a little photo shoot!

 On Halloween night we decided to take Oak trick-or-treating. We went in Greg's dad's neighborhood with our friends, the Nielson's and had such a fun time riding from house to house in the rhino.

What a busy week! As you can see we love Halloween and had so much fun dressing up, but im kinda glad it's all over so we can get back to normal life again.

Pirates Cove

Our friends, The Sperry's, invited us to this amazing place called Pirates Cove in Las Vegas. We pass it every year when we go to Lake Mead, but never really thought twice about it. It just looked like a cool house up on the hill with a pirate theme. Well we got the opportunity to stay there for 3 days and boy did it exceed our expectations.  

 There was a rope swing, 2 slides, 2 hot tubs, 3 pools, garado with a fish tank inside, gym, about 6 individual houses with kitchens, living rooms in each. A movie theatre, a ton of fire pits spread throughout and the whole place is pirate themed.

 One night we decided to go around and collect clothes and props from all the Pirate manikins and have a photo shoot! It was a blast!!

                                        There was a beach enterance pool which Oakley loved!

 Great time with great friends! If you ever get the chance to go here, don't pass it up! Thanks Sperry's
