Ha ha ha ha, I love Jimmy Fallon!

I tried to put the actual video here, but I just can't figure it out! It's cutting half of it off! So here's the link.

Happy Birthday Caydence!!

I can't believe my Caydence is 3 today!! Since she is 3, we had 3 parties :) The first was with Danny's family. Danny's sister also had a birthday in March so we celebrated them together. Here they are blowing out the candles. And opening presents.

Party 2 was at my parents' house on Sunday. We told her it was her birthday that day, because Danny has scouts on her birthday, so we were celebrating Sunday. I got her this new birthday outfit, and did her hair "like a princess." She was pretty much the cutest thing ever!!!

Caydence shares a birthday with her Great-Grandma Betty so they get a combined birthday party.

We had a yummy steak dinner and then played games. This was "Minute to Win it."

And more presents.

Party #3 was today. Caydence, my mom and I headed to the gateway. We went to lunch and then Caydence made her first "Build a Bear" (she actually picked a monkey)

It was pretty cute, and here is Sparkles (or as she says it "Bunkles"):

I can't believe she is 3!! I love this girl!!

Finally!!!

We are happy to tell you all:


Baby Boy Wariner is due August 4th!

Hopefully this will answer all of your questions:

-I'm 21 weeks today (almost 5 months?)

-I know I said we weren't going to find out what we are having, but the anxiety of not being prepared if it was a boy was OVERWHELMING me! Good thing, because I have a lot of shopping to do!

-I'm feeling great! I don't really get morning sickness. I get a little nauseous in the afternoon/evening, which isn't even bad, I'm really lucky. But I'm past that and feeling good!

-We have a name picked out, we've actually had it for years, but we don't discuss it until they're born because then you can't tell us that you don't like it :)

-I am TERRIFIED (but VERY excited) to have a boy! I'm afraid I won't know how to raise a boy!! :). Potty training!?!? That was scary enough with a girl!!

-I'm due August 4th, but if he's big like Caydence, it will be scheduled a week before that.

That's all I can think of right now, but ask away if you have any other questions!

How do you eat your oranges?

This is how Caydence eats hers:


She cracks me up!

Strike!!

We took Caydence bowling tonight for the first time (the mini-bowling at Boondocks is perfect for her!) she picked up the ball, threw it, and....


STRIKE!! First ball, first time bowling, and she gets a strike! It was too cute!! She would get so excited and jump up and down until the ball got all the way down to the pins. Too cute!!

5 years!?!

I feel like I just posted about our fourth anniversary yesterday! Our anniversary was 3/11, so I'm a little behind. We spent our actual anniversary at a Grizzly's hockey game (we already had tickets for) and my family came along. We had such a blast. I didn't count that as our anniversary celebration, because I made reservations to The Roof for the next night. I LOVE that place. Last time we were there I was 2 weeks from having Caydence!! Crazy. This was our amazing view:


Highlights of the night:
The piano player playing The Office theme song

Being there with Danny (of course)

An actual date!!

The funny conversations between the 2 ladies next to us from New Orleans

The food!!!!!

Lowlights:
It started raining JUST as we finished eating so we couldn't walk around temple square

We were almost home when they called me and told me I had left my credit card! So we had to go all the way back!!

All in all it was a great night :)

California!!

Danny decided he needed a break from work, so we planned a pretty last-minute trip to California. We were trying to keep it cheap, so we drove out there and my awesome aunt & uncle let us stay with them. We were planning on heading out there on Saturday, but of course Caydence came down with Influenza-B right before (even though we BOTH got flu shots). She had a nasty cough that started Tuesday night (which she still has almost 2 weeks later!) and she ran a fever for about 3 days. So I took her in and the doctor confirmed our suspicions. She started looking better, so we delayed our departure one day and thought she'd be good to go. But Saturday night the fever returned and she looked miserable. We went back and forth a hundred times and finally decided we better stay home. Everyone was really bummed. The next day we talked to my aunt that we were supposed to be staying with and she was so chill about it and we changed our minds again! We jumped in the car, much later than we hoped, and made the 10 hour trek.


It's a good thing we only had one kid back there, we were packed in!

Caydence is such an angel! She felt pretty miserable, but never complained. She only asked for ONE bathroom break in 10 hours! And she entertained herself the entire time with a little bag of lame toys I threw together last minute. She is a dream!

We had such a great time.


Caydence loved the beach, until the tiniest non-wave knocked her over, and of course I forgot a change of clothes, so she spent the rest of the day wet. (but still not a single complaint!)


We had lunch at a diner on the pier and this was our amazing view from our table. Jealous?


We rode the ferry in our car to the cute Balboa island.





Rode some rides (had the place to ourselves)





Visited the San Diego Zoo, first time since Danny and I were little.

















And of course Disneyland. Caydence had been talking about it for weeks! She is so spoiled! What kid has been to Disneyland 3 times in their almost 3 short years!?! But we all LOVE Disneyland. She maybe cried on EVERY SINGLE ride, but we still made her go on them (trying to break her of her extreme whimpy-ness). But then she would get to the end of the ride and say "that was fun" so we'd ask if she wanted to ride again and the answer was always a very quick and definite "no!"


We wore her out, she was literally asleep before we even turned on the car. She was SO GOOD. She still wasn't feeling great but she lasted 10 hours with no nap like a champ. She is so amazing!

We had a blast and just enjoyed soaking up the nice weather, playing basketball, and watching tv with Marc and Pam. Thanks to them for a great week!!
