Alright, sorry lots and lots of pictures! So on Saturday March 21st we headed to San Diego! It was so much fun. We got to the house and then went out and had pizza :)

Sunday morning we headed off to Disneyland - I know on the sabbath. It was cold, but so much fun. We took Royce on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the Haunted Mansion - Mr Toads Wild Ride. I think that was it for him. Then Reyn and I went on those rides, plus Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones. It rained on our way to Disneyland, we saw a 9 car pile up and a cop car pushing a Jaguar out of the road, pretty entertaining. Hopefully there weren't any major injuries. So we got to Disneyland, and it was COLD. We had jackets on luckily. We didn't get there til maybe 11 a.m. We stayed til 8:30 p.m. Royce was amazing, he is such a trooper!

When we got back to the house I jumped out of the truck to guide Reyn into the garage, and while getting out, I noticed a pretty big dent on the passenger side right behind the head light! Someone hit us in the parking garage while we were at Disneyland! I haven't taken a picture of it yet, but I will! We were soooo mad! People are so mean sometimes!

On Monday Reyn, Royce and I met up with one of my friends (Cindy) for breakfast. We ate at World Famous. It was pretty good. Then we hung out and talked most of the day. Cindy and I went shopping :) and ate so much food! It was great to see her.

Tuesday we cleaned the house and did all the laundry and got ready to drive back home. We did go out to eat breakfast and walked around on the beach. And then did a little more shopping :)

We had such a great time. Thank you to my parents and family for such a fun trip. And thank you to my in laws for allowing us to stay in their house. ;)

Also Royce turned 7 months yesterday! Yikes! He is getting so big! We love our little guy!

I am sure I will have more pictures to post coming soon. Sorry.

PICTURES

Aubrey and Amanda came to town last weekend. And we took pictures :) I just haven't posted them yet, til now, sorry. Aubrey took Amanda's senior pictures down here. We were all over the place haha. These photos of Royce however are here in my town home area. We had fun with the two girls here. It was fun taking pictures and hanging out. Thanks Aubrey for taking so many cute pictures of our little Royce :)

This weekend we are heading to SAN DIEGO! SO I am sure I will have many more pictures and adventures to come.

BEANIE

She isn't dead, just retarded, haha. j/k

This is Beanie! She has been living at our house for 3 weeks now, maybe 4? Anyway she is Reyn's parents dog. They were out of town a while back and instead of us driving out to tend to Beanie every day we brought her here. And so far she has become a permanent fixture to our backyard. She is around 9 or 10 years old. She is a pretty good little dog. I take her for walks when I can. She does pretty well, I think I am the first one to introduce her to a walk with a leash haha. I never wanted a dog, but I figure since she is already part of the Gunnell family and already trained then Reyn can live out his fantasy of having a dog. Haha!

That's all - I needed to add a new post, but I didn't have much to post about yet. And I hadn't posted about Beanie yet, so there ya go :)

In 2 weeks we are going to San Diego with my family, so I am sure to have plenty to blog about then. :)

The latest with us :)

We hiked - well walked up ASU mountain on Tuesday. It isn't really a hike - just a steep walk up asphalt. But it was still a work out ;)

Reyn and Royce - Royce fell asleep once we got to the top. He did great though :)

This is the pack Reyn got with his birthday money. It has a shade, but it's in the truck and I didn't want to go get it.

When I brush my teeth somehow I am always holding Royce, he always grabs at my toothbrush, so I gave him his own. Now we brush out teeth together :). He has 2 teeth now ;)

This picture looks like a mug shot haha!

Always has a smile for his momma :)

He does weird things with his tongue lately. This is one of them I was able to take a picture of.

He loves to chew on water bottles! This picture is just so funny !

6 MONTHS ALREADY! ~ YIKES

he likes to feed himself, haha.

so so happy!

my boys :)

it was a chilly day and i didn't want to get a blanket out. so i put him in his "parka"

loving his baby biscuit.

Well believe it or not we have kept Royce alive for 6 months! Wow time flys by super fast! He is so much fun. He is learning and growing so fast. He just recently cut his first tooth. And the other is on its way. I can see the spot where it wants to come in. It's just taking its sweet time to break through. Which means - GRUMPY ROYCE! Teething is horrible, why do babies have to go through such pain! Good thing for baby orajel and baby motrin. I just feel so bad, because Royce is always such a good happy go lucky baby. But right now he is a fussy baby. And it is hard for us both. Well we introduced Royce to rice cereal when he was about 4 months. He loves it. I just started mixing in some carrots with his rice cereal. He eats it just the same. We just bought some baby biter biscuits for him, he loves that! He loves to feed himself. It's really funny. He is growing so fast! We love our little guy. He is amazing!

Happy 1/2 year birthday Royce! haha. ;)

VALENTINES DAY!

* Well today was a very busy day! But it was good :) I got a new cell phone the Envy2. Reyn is waiting to get his upgrade til we know if he is getting into a school. So I got my upgrade for Vday. I would have kept my other phone, I loved it, but the battery kept dying. And it had been dropped like a thousand times! SO it was time for a new one. So far I like new phone. It will take some time to get used to. Im kinda a bonehead when it comes to technology. haha.

* So my gift to Reyn wasn't so elaborate. It was homemade and not as cool as mine. But I never make homemade gifts so it made these more meaningful I suppose. I melted chocolate and molded it into lips for Reyn :) It was fun. I also got together with some friends and she had the idea to make the felt fortune cookies. SO that is what I made. And I put some fortunes in the cookies ;)

* We also had a wedding to go to tonight. And we had free food - PRIME RIB, SALAD, POTATOES, ROLLS! So good, probably better than what we would have had if we went to a restaurant. Then we got to dance while we were there :) We did have Royce with us, he slept during dinner. And woke up to dance.

* It was a great Valentines day. It's funny because we never really do anything for Vday, but this year was different. Well we hope everyone had a good day. And have a good weekend.
