Spring Break--"Cunningham Style"

So this year for spring break we wanted to just kind of hang out and relax and do things in the area. We did this for two reasons. One--we didnt have a lot of money to go anywhere cool anyways, and two--we visit our fam in Oregon a lot and just saw everyone when they came for Bailey's b-day a couple weeks ago. So we stayed here and actually had a lot of fun getting to do things around Davis.:) Here are the pictures!!!

We went to the Jelly Belly factory in fairfield one day...




Yeah we're kinda immature...



My family spent most of their spring break in San Fran and they got us a hotel room for one night so we were able to drive up and spend two days and a night with them having fun in the city! We got city passes and were able to ride on the trolleys and go to the Exploritorium, wharf, Ghiradelli Square, the Aquarium, and we also took a ferry out to Alcatraz and got to tour it! It was so much fun--thanks mom and dad for letting us tag along!!

Funny story...Chris woke up during the middle of the night with a horrible headache that would not go away. It was just killing him, so I got up and went down to the hotel lobby to ask for some tylenol. Well of course they can't give you any cause it's against the law so he pointed me in the direction of a 7-11 a few blocks away. So at 3:00 in the morning I set off down the street (in San Francisco) in my pj's and BARE feet to go get him some tylenol(Chris didn't know this...I just left). I was either way stupid or still half asleep (I think it was the latter). If anyone was thinking of kidnapping me they probably thought twice about it because I probably looked schizofrenic (sp?) or mental walking along with my disarrayed sleep hair, in pj's with no shoes and muttering to myself about how tired I was...but anyways, Chris was very appreciative, but a little mad too:)

We got to spend a lot of time relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the outdoors here in quiet Davis. The weather has been awesome! (in the lower to upper 70's!)

Family, Chuck E Cheese, & A Surprise!

This weekend was FULL of fun! Both Chris' and my own family all came down from Medford, Oregon to spend the weekend celebrating Bailey's Birthday. They came down Friday night and then next morning we went to Chuck E Cheese and let me tell you--Bailey wore out her pointing finger and little legs toddling around the place screaming with joy! She had so much fun (and all the adults did too!) It was fun for everyone to have tokens and play the games and win tickets like the old days:) They had a special birthday presentation where Chuck E came out and sang and danced with Bailey. They ahd a bouquet of balloons and 100 tickets for the birthday girl. She was so excited and thoroughly enjoyed her cupcake and pizza. I totally recommend when your child walks to take them to Chuck E Cheese! It was so cute and she had so much fun in the toddler area and just walking around. (It really wears them out too!)

Then we opened presents and Bailey got so spoiled...
Some cute clothes from Nana & Papa

A cute princess couch (she's sitting on it) from Grammy & Grampa--plus this cute musical card that played the "Itsy-Bitsy Spider"--she carried it around the house all weekend opening and closing it and dancing!


and hmmmm what have we here...

a beautiful painting/photograph and poem from her GM Shayli:)

Then after going to Old town Sacramento...this was Bailey--



And THEN that same night Chris had a big suprise Birthday party for me! My Birthday isn's until this Thursday but since everyone was in town he sent me shopping with my mom and when I got home he had made a special dinner, and cake for me! Everyone helped out and it was so fun! I got some cute clothes and jewelry and Chris got me tickets to see "The Lion King" broadway musical that is coming to Sacramento this summer!!! Thank you everyone!!



"The After Party"--
Wow, by Sunday we were all exhausted. We went to church and had a good old relaxing day:) What a great weekend--thank you everyone for coming and making our birthdays so special! Love you all! And we missed you Brittany (who is 9 months pregnant), Camilla (who is in China teaching English), and David (who is at pilot school in Utah)
In her new Sunday dress

Enjoying her new couch

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY!

I can't believe that a year has already gone by. People always tell you that it goes by so fast and you kinda say, "uh yeah" but you're baby is screaming and you've been up multiple times a night and almost out of patience and you're thinking "yeah right it's not going by fast enough!" LOL but I can say now that it really does and they change so much in such a short space of time too. I am so grateful for our little BAiley and even though she's officially a TODDLER now, she will always be my little baby Bailers:) We love you BAiley--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

A Year Flown By...(click on pic for a caption)

We are doing the real celebrating this weekend when the family comes down, but Chris and I presented our gift to her today:) (a little table and chairs)oh! and she got her first cupcake...





p.s. I frickin' broke my toe yesterday evening before dinner and anyone who thinks that breaking a toe isn't that bad is so wrong...it HURTS SO bad! but some tylenol,ice, rest (thanks to chris for doing everything yesterday) and a crude tape up job seem to help:)

Just Another Weekly Update

This is kinda long, but it gives a mini-tour of the apartment (it's way messy though) and of a typical evening at the Cunningham's:)


This weekend we went shopping for Bailey's Birthday presents! Her birthday is Wednesday, the 11th but we're celebrating it next weekend when all of our family comes down! We're going to have the party at Chuck-E-Cheese :) I'll definitely be posting about that in a couple weeks!!! She is wearing alittle bear backpack that has a leash on it for when we go to places like IKEA and she wants to walk around. She never listens to us or stays with us cause she's too excited so this is for safety reasons and to keep her with us. It took a couple times for her to get used to it, but she's coming around. :) It's either that or sit in the cart and BAiley is way too active to do that now that she's walking.


Chris is studying his little bum off for this next weeks finals--the quarter is almost over and he has to finish his project in the lab and get a presentation ready of his research. He is super busy but sucha sweet husband and always helping out around the house and spending time with Bailey:) Love you honey!


And of course little Bailey is as active as ever and thinks she is so independent now that she can walk around--I noticed that this is kinda nice in a lot of ways and a little easier on mommy!

A Week In Oregon

Woah, it seems like I'm so out of the blogging loop since I haven't had a post up in awhile. We had a fun week up in Medford visiting Josh (who just returned from a mission in Russia) Chris had to go back home after the weekend to return to school and work, but Bailey and I stayed and hung out for the rest of the week! It was lots of fun to hang with my mom and sisters and my in-laws. My sister-in-law is about to have her baby here in April and it was fun to shop for baby things with her. And my sister, Carissa is about to graduate here in a few months and has been dating Chris' brother Josh (the one just off his mission) it was cute to watch them together and remember when chris and I were there after his mission...ah young love;)I guess they were writing eachother while he was gone. Our families are super connected and have known eachother for 6 years, but who woulda thought? haha anways, here are some pictures of the trip up and down and some leftover Valentine pics. Chris had made me a specail romantic dinner and we watched a chick flick of my choice. He also cleaned the whole house and got flowers for "his ladies" (me and bailey both) he is such a sweet and thoughtful husband:) and did i mention way hott? LOL


Bailey loved her new seat and was much better on the trip with it. She thinks she's so funny now and was balancing books and things on her head and then laughing hysterically..

the way back home...

Happy Valentine's Day!
