We've had a fun past couple of weekends. Here's what we've been up to:
A couple weekends ago, we went up to Glendale for a Chocolate Festival.
Baylee and Ben posing with our yummy treats-Chocolate covered cheesecake and a crepe with chocolate and bananas!
I also got these beautiful roses there. They will last forever-can you tell they are wood?
This past weekend we decided to take a trip to not-so-sunny So. Cal. We went to Disneyland on Friday, but didn't stay too long because it started pouring. By the time we got done taking a food break at Rainforest Cafe, it had stopped. However we were so drenched and cold that we just decided to call it a day and try to come back again when rain is not predicted in the weather forecast... We didn't make it into the main park, just California Adventure, but we still were able to do a little bit.
Before the rain hit-Baylee waiting in line for Playhouse Disney.
Baylee loving Playhouse Disney.

Thank you Missy (Ben's sister) and kids for being good sports and braving the rain with us! We had fun, even if we didn't seem to get to do too much. We were thinking about drying off at Missy's and going back, but once I had dry clothes on and heard more rain, I was not about to go back. So, we just hung out at Missy and Brant's, talking and watching some weird movie Brant found us on tv (ok, it really wasn't that bad).
For Valentine's Day, we packed up and headed to Mike (Ben's brother) and Laura's for a yummy brunch Mike cooked. Thanks again guys!
Baylee loved playing with her cousin, Abby!
We eventually headed for the mall, and Ben and Mike took the girls on the Merry-go-round.
Also at the mall, we went to a cute little cupcake place where you can decorate your own cupcake with candies. Baylee loved this little Valentine's treat. She's been really into Valentine's and wanted to do some Valentine's activities, so this got us off the hook. We headed up to Jenny (Ben's sister) and Andre's for the afternoon and night, and hung out with them. Ben and Baylee even got to do some swimming with the kids (the pool was heated). For Valentine's dinner we had some yummy Thai Food and enjoyed watching the movie Taken after all the kids went to bed. It was nice not having to leave the house for dinner or the movie, so we avoided the Valentine's crowds.

It was a little chilly, so while I was in the bathroom Ben bundled Baylee up in his jacket. It was just too funny and cute.
Baylee enjoyed some hot chocolate while we watched the dolphin show. I think more of it ended up on her than in her. But, it kept her distracted.
Since we didn't get too many rides in at Disneyland (we actually only went on one ride the whole time), we made sure Baylee got to enjoy some at Sea World. We did a few more things while we were there, and then headed home.
