Tuckered Out...

...a long day can do it to a little one!

Christmas with Grandma Mueller

Today we celebrated Christmas with my mom. We had a very nice time. It was funny to see Skylar's first experience with opening presents, or at least with an audience (she has already unwrapped a couple presents this year but it is always when we are not watching :D)! She was fairly shy about it! It was a great time spent with family!

First Visit to Santa

Today Mom took me to go see Santa, I guess I really did not see what the big fuss is about, some funny looking old guy in a red suit, I don't get it! Mom says I will someday...

Hangin' with Jayce Cooper

Today we met Meghan & Jayce at the mall to do a little christmas shopping...and let Skylar and Jayce see Santa for the first time. They both did great, no tears!
Thanks for meeting us today Meghan & Jayce, it was great to see you!

New Tricks

Our little girl has some new tricks up her sleeve...when we got home from CA, she was very proud to show off. She should up in our bed then proceeded to do something that looks like dancing! We are enjoying her sillyness everyday!

The Aquarium

It was a pretty cool spot, we got to touch sting-rays and sharks...we got there late in the day so we did not see any pf the shows but it was still a cool place to visit!

MOre Cali...

So after the trip to Hollywood we drove down the coast just to enjoy the beautiful views. California really is pretty. on our drive we got the see the Donald Trump golf course (last year's apprentice winner got to manage it) I am sure it is a pricey round of golf, but look at those views! We had alot of fun just looking at everything, the houses along the4 coast are pretty amazing, I would love to wake up to a view like that everyday...after our drive down the coast went went to long beach to see the aquarium, but on the way we went through the shipping port, I have never seen anything so crazy..as far as you can see there were trailers full of items coming in and huge cranes to lift them off the barges, it was insane. As we looked out on the endless site we couldn't help but question, do they really know what is in all of those and how do the know where they put them, someone has got to be VERY organized!

CALIFORNIA

Here are some pics from last Saturday in Cali...We went all over, to Hollywood (the wax museum & Guinness world records). We had lots of, Hollywood was not really what I expected, but it is interesting to visit once!

this one is for you Smythe...

...THIS ONE NEEDS NO EXPLANATION!

Chris & I

We just got back from a great trip, we spent 5 days in Orange County, CA. We went out there for my company's annual sales meeting and Christmas party! It was fun to have some time to ourselves, but we really missed the peanut! Chris had a couple days on his own while I was in meetings, he explored Hollywood, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and of course various car dealerships! I spent the first day of meetings LEARNING a TON! ALL GREAT STUFF THAT WILL REALLY HELP ME GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR! I know I have not been good about posting on whats up with my job but I love it and could not be happier...going out for the meeting was a great time to remember how lucky I am to do something that I love and have the opportunity to work for such a GREAT company! After we sat through meetnigs the whole first day they spiced things up a tad for day 2...they took all 40 sales reps and we went to an indoor race track for a highly competitive day of go cart racing. It was a fun day that ended with only some minor bumps and bruises, good thing I have a good pain releiver:D

...this is what they do in Cali...

As asked in the previous post...what do they do in Cali? According to what Chris captured (on a Thursday) they surf and build sand castles, rough life:)
Surfs Up!

New Christmas wish...

so this car made Chris drool, and now he wants one...He took this picture out in Cali where EVERYONE drives AWESOME cars, this is an Astin Martin DB9. He so smoothly told me how he found a used one for ONLY, get this, $185,000. Yes you 'heard' right...can you believe it? Needless to say he won't be getting one..and we must be in the wrong line of work, what do people in Cali do?????

My Beautiful Baby

She is growing up so fast! These were taken in the tub (thanks for the inspiration Lauren), she LOVES bath time and really hams it up in front of the camera now!!
