Another day in Paradise

So I don't know if I have ever written about this yet, but if I have, oh well...you will just have to read about it again.....Adam and I LOVE living here!!! We live 2 minutes from the beach, 2 minutes from the freeway, 30 seconds from shopping, and about 10 minutes from the airport. The mountains, friends and family are just a short drive away. We feel so lucky to live in such a dreamy place (for us anyways). We have so much fun doing what we do everyday.

A day in the life of the Elders:

6:30 am- Kae wakes up and she eats, then goes back to sleep until about 8:30
8:30 am- Dad leaves for work (a whopping 2 lights down the street)
10-ish am- Kae naps and mom naps too if shes tired or does some housework
12-ish- Kae eats lunch, then we run errands together, like ACE Hardware (I love the eclectic-ness of that place)
2:00- Dad comes home for lunch (con you believe he has an hour and a half lunch??)
Now sometimes I have to work, so this is when I leave, then my sister Jen comes over and watches Kae and Adam and Jen eat a wholesome lunch together....haha, ya right, more like nachos and quesadillas....
5:00-Mom gets home and watches her DVR'd shows (like Barefoot Contessa, Take Home Chef, and Regis and Kelly)
5:30-Dad gets home
7:30 or later-Mom and Dad make dinner, eat and watch DVD's of Heroes season 1 or Office season 2, while Kae swings in her little swing
10:00-Kae goes nigh-nigh
11:00-Mom goes nigh-nigh
12:30-ish-Dad goes nigh-nigh
Now for the pics....

We made a last minute decision to head to AZ over the weekend. Adam had Monday off, so we though, Shoot, Why not? Analee, Charlie, and Nate were nice enough to let us crash at their place. Here is a pic of Kae on Nate. After I took this shot, Nate started balling. Poor guy....

The reason we went to AZ was to celebrate the marriage of Adam's brother, Aaron and his new wife, Laura...Such cute newlyweds! Congratulations guys!

Then I had to steal the bow from Laura and get a picture with Kaelin and the bow

Of course we had to visit Great Grandma Goodman, and Kaelin met her little twin cousin there. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot her name, but she is Brian and Hillary little girl.

Here is Adam's dad and Miss Kae just after a shower all squeaky clean. Look she's even sucking it in for the picture. Haha!

We had a bridal shower luncheon at, where else, but Tia Rosa's. Yummm!

Here's our little girl just loungin' around. She always seems to take the best seat in the house.

And out last morning there I caught daddy and baby playing...Ahhhh...

The whole time we were there she was just so peachy, but the moment we had to put her in her carseat, she just wouldn't stop fussing. Oh man, it was so annoying...It's weird because she never fusses when we get in the car. She usually just coos and falls asleep. Not this time. So I was playing with her in the back seat and she just kept touching my ring so I just gave it to her and it immediately made her stop fussing. Look out boys, she is definitely into diamonds. Oh, then we stopped at Cabazon and walked around, bought some Christmas presents and then lost her pacifier, so we had to find a Target. Luckily we found one right away, good thing too, cuz my finger was getting really pruney.
Then, just yesterday I made a batch of those "throw em in the oven" cookies. Gosh, I buy at least 1 pack of dough every time I go grocery shopping. Anyways, I was eating one while holding Kaelin, and she shoved my hand into her mouth and just started drooling all over my cookie. I know she shouldn't be eating them yet, but I have to get a picture of her doing it...

And of course, just this morning I was in the mood to pick up the camera and just catch her in the moment.

Other than that, life is good! Last night Jen, Kae, and I went shopping at the Mission Mall and picked out some Christmas presents. Today we have a bapstim to attend and I think we will run to Target. Tomorrow is church and of course, dinner and laundry at the folk's place. We are going to have pork tenderloin and "Shrimp on the Baaa-bie"
