Performance and GNO craft

We had our work party last week and were supposed to bring a white elephant gift so I got a cute candle set and put them in a Victoria's Secret bag. I found a picture of my boss online, so I edited it to say "Hugs and Kisses Love Susan" and put it in the bag. =)

 My cute little sister-in-law had a performance at an assisted living place down the street from us so Caleb and I stopped by.

 These darn kids were almost as tall as me so it was hard to get a good picture of Indee on the back row.

 Caleb sure loves his baby sister.

 I just love her cute little face. She was the best performer there.

 My cute little Indee Baby. I've called her that since she was 5 I hope she doesn't mind.

I used to pick Indee up every time I went to the Rigby's while Caleb and I were dating. Now she's almost as tall as me.

 I have no idea who that little girl on the left is, probably a friend of Indee's. Who cares hop in the picture with us. =)

 Oops someone forgot to turn the flash on.

 That's a little better. Mama Rigby was so proud of Indee.

 Here are some of the videos I got from the performance.

 The quality isn't the greatest but you get the idea.

 

 I didn't realize I added this picture. Oh well, this this is the new dresser I want. Could someone tell Caleb?

 Last Thursday we had a girls night out and made the cutest Santa craft.

Jen and Lacie

 Nicole and Lynds (my dental assistant).... and friend haha

 Natalie and Gertrude (I can't remember her real name... rude, I know)

 Romn-e-doodle

 Lacie the hostess with the mostest again and cute Kelsey. You can almost tell she's pregnant. =)

 I noticed this craft could be used year round. TAN for the summer months - SAT for a Super Saturday activity or Satan for a church lesson

  We had our MSN hooding ceremony on Friday so here's Tiff and I waiting for everyone to leave so we could clean up.  

Tiff is so weird. She was in the special classes in school.

 We went to our ward Christmas party and guess who was there? Kelly, Avery, and Lacie. Twice in one week. 

 Hollie and Jed were doing their Christmas shopping so Caleb and I got to take the babies to the party with us. Guess if either of them sat on Santa's lap? Nope.

 We really thought Ashton would...but no dice. I think it's safe to say he hates Santa.

Cute Brooke wrote Santa a letter so I thought she would at least give it to him but she honestly wouldn't come within 10 feet of him.

Dear Santa, thank you for the presents last year. I want a pony pillow pet please. I have been a good girl. can you bring me make-up too?

She's only 4! I think she is the smartest little girl ever.

Our Week 'O Fun

Adam and Cara had a beautiful baby girl Quincy on Sunday so we brought them dinner.  

 Really it was selfish of us, we just knew if we brought dinner we could hang out with them longer.

This is right before Cambria punched me in the nose.

She has a perfect button nose.

I think it is so cute when babies sprawl out like this. I imagine after 9 months inside of Cara's tummy it probably feels good just to stretch out.

I realize I took lots of pictures, I just couldn't get enough of this little girl.

I like to think that she is smiling for me in this picture.

Cambria needed lots of love too so we made sure to snuggle her for an extra long time.

As usual Caleb and Adam had to play a quick round of Tecmo Super Bowl.

Caleb was killing Adam so Cambria had to take matters into her own hands... or head. She bonked her head on the Nintendo which froze the game.

The little rat wouldn't smile. She kept saying take another, I'm gonna smile now, but she wouldn't.

So I had to tickle her.

She was pretty bummed when we were leaving so we offered to take her with us but she just wanted to stay home with  her mom and Quincy.

We love baby Quincy, she is the perfect addition to the Rigby family.

Then the next night we stopped by my sister's after the gym. Brooke and Ashton know Caleb is the fun one. Anytime we go over there they always run to him. =)

They hopped on Caleb so he would do push-ups with them on his back. They were laughing until we got the camera out.

We love our family and are grateful that most of our best friends are related. =)

Palm Springs / Orange County Vaca

Better late than never eh?

Caleb and I had a wonderful opportunity to vacation to the Oasis in Palm Springs CA. We have gone to a couple time-share presentations where they put you up in a nice resort as long as you listen to their 90 minute presentation.

Caleb is the king of saying “No” so he’s not phased by these things, it's ME that he makes practice saying no before the presentations, but then once we get there and listen I always want what they offer.

Even the kiosk people in the mall’s can tell that I’d buy anything. I usually wait until they are distracted with someone else before I sneak by. I really have a problem. I just can’t say no when people are trying to sell me something. Anyway, I think that is why the time-share people keep inviting us back. We get to stay in amazing resorts that we would have never had the chance to otherwise plus they give $75 MasterCard and a $30 gas card. We’d be stupid not to go, or would we….

We are now proud owners of Vacation International Timeshare and RCI, the world’s largest and most experienced vacation exchange company. =) Wahoo, we’ll let you know how that goes.

Anyway, more about the resort, the villas were so beautiful.

The resort had 8 pools and 9 jacuzzis.

The odd numbered pools were heated. (I don’t know why you would need a heated pool in Palm Springs but it was nice)

We had our own dishes, silverware, dishwasher, garbage disposal, 2 large flat screen TV’s, an awesome hideaway bed (like on Charles in Charge), a washer and dryer in our unit, a huge grill, and 2 beach cruisers (bikes) on our deck.

These are not our usual hotel’s amenities so we were pretty excited.

We stayed in Palm Springs for 3 nights then spent the rest of our vacation in Costa Mesa. We did Disney’s Give a Day get a Day and got 2 free ticket to Disneyland which we found out the week before that my little sister Kim and her hubby Jonny were going to be there the same day. We had such a good time.

Caleb is quite the photographer. =)

This picture is only funny if you've seen the movie Top Secret

The next night we met up with one of my best friends from California. Pete Mania.

I wanted to take Caleb to the Fox Sports Bar and Grille in the Irvine Center to watch some March Madness games but unfortunately it had closed down since I lived there 6 years ago... oops

The Spectrum is a lot like the Gateway, but usually it's warm outside.

There was this massager chair and head massager that Pete and Caleb REALLY enjoyed.

Here's some random shopper helping Pete figure out the chair.

Find Pete and I in the picture.

By the end of the night Caleb and Pete had become best friends. I made them pose like this and neither of them were happy, but you'd never know. Haha

Overall, it was a great vacation and a great purchase. Caleb had a little buyers remourse but I'm in love! We paid our annual dues early and got a free 7-day cruise, 3 other free vacations and 2 bogo flights. I love love love to vacation so I knew if I got Caleb to get this we'd have to go.... and it worked ;)
