We Like Friends

Rebecca and I had a chance to get together with some great friends on Thursday! My friends Laura, Abby, Rachel, and I each have a little girl = friends for Rebecca! Laura provided us with duck feed (popcorn) and a gourmet lunch of chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, and Diet Coke (for the ladies). And we made it a date!

complete with duck-chasing toddlers!

We got to hang out at Laura's house too! Laura's post here
sidenote: Cadence (in the pink stripes) is Rebecca's birthday twin! They were born the same day (different hospitals).

Abster and Stella

My friend Abby brought Stella over for a little playdate!
Stella calls Rebecca "Baby Becca" and is her little mommy. It is hilariadorible (sorry I'm a dork and just made up that word) to watch them together.

Art City Days

We like Springville!
Here's our daredevil driving with both steering wheels.

Thursday night at the carnival was 50 cents per ride, as opposed to the usual $1-4. Rebecca rode the carousel, cars, space saucers, to her little heart's content. Jorg and I had a romantic ride on the Gravitron 2000.

Aunt Steph joined us! She and Jorg rode a scary, tip-you-flip-you ride. Rebecca watched with wide eyes and as they got off the ride, clapped and said, "You did it!"

My Little "Chick"

This movie is not super exciting, but we think it's pretty cute. Mostly, Jorg wanted it here for Kristin and Berit (his sisters) to see. She just looks so grown up!

Girl's Trip

Abby and I went to visit Kim and her new baby, Caleb. They live in Palmdale, California. The drive went so fast! Abby and I gabbed for 10 hours straight. No joke, our voices were sore when we arrived.

During our three days there, we went:

to In and Out Burger
just to make Jorg jealous :)

to the Wizard of Oz "Poppy Fields"
even though the poppies were out of bloom this time of year, it was still cool to see where my fav childhood movie was filmed.

to the beach!

to Hollywood



to a movie premiere. well, outside of it anyway.
It was "The Hangover" which I'm sure I'll never see. But we did see some stars who, I don't know their names...and I'm sure I could google them, but really I won't remember their names anyway (I have Abby for that!)...but it was very exciting
and I got lots of cuddle time with a cute baby Caleb! He is such a good baby and let us drag him around everywhere. It was soooo good to see Kim (and her husband Chris). We always said Kim was "MAde to be a mother" and it was fun to see her in that role. I wish they still lived here.

My Becca girl got to spend lots of time with daddy (see previous post). And Omi and Grandpa had her in Brigham City for a few days! She got some time with Mimi too.
I kept seeing her in my dreams and was so happy to have her in my arms again.

Thanks to everyone who made our trip possible!
