Back to the Beach Taylor decided to be brave and take her shoes off. Since she took her shoes off she was allowed to test out the water. She LOVED having the waves wash over her feet. She started by not letting go of me and then it turned into Taylor do it, Taylor do it. So here is Taylor doing it all by herself!

Legoland Grandpa and Taylor It was amazing to see all of the things they've built with Legos. Taylor thought Thomas the Train was pretty neat. The last picture is of the New York sky line. They had much more including a full size Volvo XC90. (Don't worry - We were not near Solana Beach) Taylor on her first amusement park ride. She went with Mommy first then again with Grandma. She was very serious, but definitely enjoyed herself. Grandpa and Grandma Moberg are down visiting us for the week so we are taking in ALL the sights! We are having a great time staying entertained and enjoying many of the tourist activites. We went to Legoland for the first time. It was a great time, but VERY HOT! It was 91 degrees when we pulled into the parking lot at 9:45am so I'm sure we got pretty close to 100 degrees.

Santa Ana Zoo WARNING: Amanda DON'T LOOK!!! Snake in the picture! =) My brave little girl petting a snake for the first time. The zoo keeper was very impressed with her bravery.

The Clifford Exhibit Clifford, Emily Elizabeth, and Taylor A hug from Clifford Taylor driving the ferry to Birdwell Island I'm a little behind on my blogging because Kevin has had the computer out of town with him. Now that he's back I'll try to catch us up over the next few days. One of the other outings Taylor and I did to entertain ourselves was going to the Discovery Science Center. There happened to be a Clifford exhibit which Taylor loved. She even got to give Clifford a hug. She ran up and buried herself in his arms then turned and ran away as fast as she could. We got her to cooperate for a quick photo.

The Beach Kevin left us for a couple of days to attend meetings in Palm Springs so Taylor and I needed something to do. I took Taylor to Huntington Beach and we had a great time together. We enjoyed walking in the sand however Taylor did not like the sand getting in her sandals, but she refused to take them off. Everyone complimented her on her sunglasses!

Play Ball! For a little family fun we went to the Angels vs. Mariners baseball game Friday night. This is a picture of Taylor trying to catch/hit the beach ball that was being passed around our section. Unfortunately it always landed in the row in front of us so she never got her chance. Once you give this girl a "sip" of soda there's no getting the cup back. A special treat! Every Friday night there's a home game they put on a fireworks show. Taylor was very entertained at first then she developed a dislike for the loud booms.

We're Here Taylor running around our backyard. Playing at the park 2 doors down from our house. We made it to California. Overall Taylor did a great job on our road trip. She had her cranky moments, of course (but so did I)! We arrived in Garden Grove, CA on Tuesday to an empty rental house about a mile away from Disneyland. We're staying in a house with a bunch of KLM employees. When we got here the house was newly rented and unfurnished so we've been filling it up with everything from dishes to box springs and mattresses. The most unfortunate thing is the gas was turned off and the soonest they could come out here is sometime today so we've gone almost 4 days without hot water - needless to say we're a little stinky. We also don't have a fridge or washer and dryer, those are coming tomorrow. I have to say I don't really miss this lifestyle! =)
The Results Well, 66% of you were wrong! =) I guess Taylor knew what she was talking about when she answered sister almost every time! We had our ultrasound today and it looks like we have another precious girl on the way. However, the technician was very iffy! She said typically she would be more confident, but our little one did not cooperate. She had her legs tightly crossed the entire time. She said she was about 70% confident from the quick and limited views. So, we'll see!!! The best news we got today was that our little girl looks very healthy and is developing beautifully.
Last Chance! This is your last chance to participate in our gender poll! Our ultra sound is scheduled for Friday afternoon. So, if all goes well we'll have the answer. We're so excited!!!!

Taylor can officially climb/fall out of her crib. Some of you may remember she did this at an abnormally young age, but she learned her lesson for awhile. Now... we'll see. Here she is sporting her new bump on her forehead. The flash made it look better than it actually looked. WARNING: Content may not be suitable for all viewers!
