Happy 27th Birthday David

For David's birthday this year we spent it in the OC. We first took the girls to Oma and Papa's House (where they enjoy the day with Marla and Papa at the Pioneer celebration in Riverside) while David and I headed for Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and oh was it heavenly. It was the best steak I have ever eater. It just melted in your mouth... and we even got to see Dallas Reins The Weather Man ( he was there at a Jewish wedding). Then we headed over to Angel's Game with our great buddies Ryan and Heddie (all month Party for Ryan, Heddie, and David) . We had a great time, and now David you are an OLD man!!! Sucka!!! But I love you so much!!! Happy Birthday!

We have been having the greatest weather the past couple weeks, but I think it has come to an end. At the Living Desert it was 103 and then next day at the Beach it was 67. It was freezing, but we still had a great time. Sierra and Logan got in the water while the girls and I stayed dry and tried to get warm. Thank goodness for jackets and dry towels.

Party in Palm Springs

Lizzie and Lilly

Jayne and Lilly invited us to join them at the Living Desert in Palm Spring. We had a great time besides the amazing heat. We didn't make it to see everything, but we still had a great time. Lizzie and Krislynn loved seeing all the animals and spending time with Lilly. Then we went to PF Chang's for lunch, and saw the dinosaurs on the way home. We had a great day.

Girls Night Eclipse

(Jayne, Megan, Angel, Jenny, and me)
A couple friends of mine went and saw Eclipse when it first came out. I know I'm late about posting about it, but better late than never right? We had a great time, plus we even had Submarina first... now that is a GREAT NIGHT!!! Jenny it looks like I'm holding your hand :)

Dress Up Fun

So the Dress Up Party has begun. Lizzie found her dress up box that I have been filling for about a year now with tons of fun stuff to dress up in. She loves the high heels, she can walk in them way better than I can, the fairy wings, tiara, and princess wand. She always wants Sister to play along so she helped Krislynn dress up too. Oh my girls are just the cutest!

Krislynn is walking!!!

Marla and the kids came out for a day of fun. We went to my friend Angel's House for Swim Day, and then we headed to Fingerprints Museum. Let me just tell you the kids had a great time. Parker LOVED all the police stuff. He would walk around with it all in his hands and NOT put it down. Lizzie loved shopping in Wal-Mart, and putting in in her cart. Krislynn loved the slides and tubes she could crawl though. Lincoln loved the Police stuff as well, but he liked to play with these huge blocks they have and built stuff with Lizzie. And last but not least Delaney loved it all. She was everywhere and getting into everything. Thanks Marla for bring the kids out to play.

Family Pictures in Texas

Here are some of the pictures we got taken while we were in Texas. The last time we got pictures taken was the day before David and I got married. The family has expanded with grandchildren and we have lost one. So family pictures were necessary!

Krislynn and Lizzie's New Rides

Since Krislynn was ready for the BIG GIRL seat, we finally got Lizzie a booster and Krislynn took Lizzie's old car seat. We tried to make the switch fun and exciting, but Lizzie wasn't going for it. She wanted nothing to do with her new seat, and she wanted Sister out of her seat. After a couple tears Lizzie rode in her NEW seat, and she has loved it ever since. Hooray for my 2 BIG GIRLS!!!

Princess Katrina

So after almost 4 years of marriage and 2 kids I can STILL fit in my wedding dress. HOORAY! Lizzie calls it my PRINCESS DRESS. Krislynn and Lizzie loved to hide under the puffy skirt and play peek-a-boo. Lizzie is BIG into dress up now, and wanted to be a princess just like Mommy. From the picture you can tell she was mad since I wouldn't let her try it on. So after her cooling down.. wedding dress 101 started. She LOVED wearing my dress. She thought she was the prettiest princess. Now maybe 20 years down the road she will want to wear the dress again... NO PRESSURE!

POW-POW-POWER RANGERS!!!

So funny story.. My cousin tired out to be one of the NEW Power Rangers. I know can you believe they are bringing the show back, but back to the point. Well Lizzie today found in her dress up box The Blue Power Ranger cape, and she feel in love. She wore it all day. She practiced her Karate moves on Krislynn and, worked on her flips too. Look out Andrew Lizzie is the new and upcoming Power Ranger!!!!

Ontario with Amy

I LOVE when I get to play with Amy. We don't get to see each other very often, but when we do it is a party!!! Thanks for meeting me so we could shop and play all day. Lizzie thanks you from the bottom of her heart for the train ride. She is still talking about it.

Krislynn, Me, Elise, and Lizzie on the train ride at Victoria Gardens. The girls had a great time!

Funny Face

Now I know where my girls get their funny faces from!!!

Trip to Oceanside, CA

We got to go down and visit Uncle Craig and Andy, and oh did the girls have fun!!! Thanks again for all the fun!!

TEXAS!!!!

We were lucky enough to go visit David's brothers in Texas, and oh did we have a great time. Besides the AMAZING family reunion, and the out of this world BBQ we were in heaven. It was sad to say goodbye, but my hips were sure thanking me... since I didn't hold back while I was there. Cream corn... oh so heavenly!!! I didn't take a lot of pictures, but at least I have SUPER FABULOUS sister-in-laws who love to point and shoot whatever is going on.

Asleep in a super comfy bed overlooking this.... Lake Travis

are you jealous yet?

One morning after one of our runs. Let me just tell you I found my dream home, but it cost $3.2 million. I think I need to put away a little more money in my piggy bank each month to afford it.

The we took a trip to Round Rock Donuts. If you are ever in Round Rock, Texas you need to stop by and get the largest donut in the USA weighing in at 2 pounds. Thank goodness we had a lot of people helping us eat it.

The Famous Donut

We also took a trip to San Antonio. We visited The Market Place and ate at Mi Tierra (super yummy), The Alamo, The River walk, and the most IMPORTANT PLACE.... LULU'S where they make the WORLD'S LARGEST CINNAMON ROLL weighing in at 3 1/2 pounds, and oh was it yummy! While is San Antonio we also made a quick trip to the Temple.
