*~*~*~*Christmas 2009*~*~*~*

This year marked the 1st Annual Christmas Cookies with Grandma! We all grew up making sugar cookies with our Grandma so we thought it would only fit that Zayne and his Grandma picked up the tradition. This year Grandma did most of the work on them but Zayne helped a little bit.. well as much as a 14 month old can!

Putting his first cookie on the cookie sheet, such a big helper!

Enjoying his first Candy Cane while working on cookies...


Putting the toppings on the Cookie!

Next thing we did was on the day before Christmas Eve. We went to my Moms work Christmas party. Here is Zayne and I on our way to the party!

One of my FAVORITE pictures, he is just enjoying the conversation looking SO CUTE!! (Wearing his cowboy boots!)

Sitting on Santas lap didn't go as smooth as last year.....
But he recoverd fine. Here he is with his Aunt Courtney

24th of July....What a pioneer day!

Well I figure i should probably get on here and post some new pictures. For the 24th we went over and did fireworks with Matt, my boyfriend, and his sister. It was fun, Matt had gone up to Evanston to buy the fireworks so we were pretty excited. Before fireworks we went to Courtneys friends house where his dads band was playing in the backyard, Zayne loves music so he really enjoyed it. So here are some pictures from that night....

Quick Picture Update.....Plus my new hair.....

My new hair cut......

Cute pictures of Zayne....

I LOVE THIS KID!

Documented: A trip to California

Zayne Before we left the house heading to the airport.... (He was super excited!)


Right before the plane took off....The flight was pretty good, Zayne slept for a little while towards the end, but he was mostly awake for the whole flight....



This is after we landed and were NOT greated getting off the plane, damn the California traffic the Great-grandparents were caught in traffic so we had to wait patiently for them to pick us up.... Zayne was not amused....

The first night we were there we went to the Cancer Walk at the local Santa Paula High School track, it was cool, and Zayne loved it.


This is a picture of Zayne in front of all the bags that were made in honor of the man Zayne is named after, Bob Laidler, who died of cancer a couple years ago..... So this picture is really cool....


The next day we went to the Ventura Peir, here is Zayne enjoying the breeze.



This is a picture of Zayne with his Great Grandma Velda Sue Laidler and Great Grandpa Laidler and his Aunt Courtney... I like this picture A LOT!

This is the funniest picture of Zayne he looks exactly like an old man! I love it!



Zayne and his Great Grandpa Laidler...

The last night we were there we went to the Car show on Main Street. It is every month on the 1st Friday of the month. It was lightly raining but it was still fun.

It was a way fun trip to California, it was so nice to be able to hang out with my Grandma and Grandpa (Zaynes Great Grandparents). I hope we can go down again soon, Zayne loves his Great Grandma and Grandpa Laidler. :) !!!!!!!!!
