Addyson's new Bed!

2009-07-24T15:20:00.000-07:00

After much delay on her mom's part Addyson who has been in her big girl bed since Christmas time finally got her bedding to match her decorated room! I had a lady make it out of her crib bedding and it came out adorable! I love it and think is neat that is was made out of her baby bedding- were are trying to re-use cute stuff instead of buying new all the time!

Over Spring Break in April we took a trip to San Diego, we visited with David's brother and wife Doug and Araby, went to Sea World, Old Town and Sea Port Village. The highlight of the trip was staying on the 25th floor of the Manchest Hyatt--the kids loved our cornor room with windows all the way around. Honestly it was the best babysitter, the kids would just sit looking out our rooms windowns nameing all of the modes of transportatin they could see below -- I see a tug boat, sail boat, ship, helicopeter, cars, airplane ect.... it was funny to hear!

A make-shift Garden by Ayden

2009-05-26T21:50:00.000-07:00

this is the plant they took the leaves from to make their "GARDEN"

Well is has been a few months since my last post-- but with summer now here I hope to get my list of posts actually posted! yippee now if I can just find the list I will be set! I know I need to post the garden Ayden and Addyson planted so I will start with that. About a 2 months ago after allowing Ayden and Addyson to play in thier sandbox alone for a bit I walked out to check out what they were doing and this is what I saw! Ayden informed me that he was planting plants just like his daddy does, too cute !

Mommy look what I made for you!

2009-03-17T19:05:00.000-07:00

This is Addyson- just being to cute not to show off!

As many of you know, but I love to keep stuff-- especially stuff my kids make, but I realize I can't keep it all so in an effort to keep less but preserve the memory each month I have my kids take a photo of what they have recently made, these was their ART from January and February!

Ayden turns 4 years old!

2009-03-15T22:24:00.000-07:00

This year Ayden celebrated his birthday at a jump house called "The Wild" he had tons of fun and mom loved how easy the clean up was! At his daycare he had a pirate party, complete with a treasure chest cake! Needless to say he had a great time at both parties and is still talking about "his birthday"!

Last Visit to see Grandma

2009-02-01T20:59:00.000-08:00

The day after Christmas we traveled to Hanford Ca to visit my grandma in a nursing home, at the time we had no idea this would be our last visit. She passed away on Janurary 13th. Her wish was to pass at her home of over 50 years, she was realeased from the nursing home a week after these photos, and a week after that she passed away! The last photo on this post if of the Christmas gifts we brought for her. She is and will be missed and remembered!

A fun day at CALM

2008-10-10T21:35:00.001-07:00

Last Saturday we went to CALM with some friends to visit our dentist Dr. Sturz, each year he holds a fun time for his patients to celebrate his practice. We ate pop corn, cup cakes, got kiddie tatoos, and touched a snake. When I asked Ayden what it felt like he said "Macronni Mama"! as if I should have already known that ! We also saw some great animals!

Look what Ayden has MADE

2008-09-28T13:58:00.000-07:00

Ayden just loves to make things these days, After a while I have quite the collection going! So I have decided to take a photo of them and then they can move on out of our home! I just know I won't have the room to keep it all! so enjoy his latest creations!

The new look !

2008-09-27T17:30:00.000-07:00

Well if you are reading this you have seen an hour of effort and lots of help from my sister-in-law pay off-- A new more "ME" look for this blog! YEAH! This style I am sure will change since now I know how to change it but for now I am in love with this color palate-- It is just feels so much more like me/ a reflection of how I see things yeah! It is amazing how creative you can be with all this blogging. I am wondering if there is a class you can take at a local college?? If you know of one let me know!

Addy wearing mommy's shoes!

2008-09-20T13:47:00.000-07:00

Addy is such a girly girl! She already loves shoes! I catch her trying mine on all the time, and lucky for you on this day the camera was handy and I caught her on film!

Why have not been blogging

2008-09-13T21:29:00.000-07:00

I will try to make this short, basically, I began to blog and thought it was really cool, and still do but unfortunately no one looks at my blog --so if you are looking at it now GREAT! what a surprise!

I guess I feel like what is the point!! so for now I am taking a hiatus from the pressure to BLOG! yeah more time to do other things! and just email!

Special Bears from Grammy

2008-08-16T21:20:00.000-07:00

As most of you know by now on July 30th my mother -in-law Donna passed away! To help our children remember her she had teddy bears made out of some of her clothes, they are not only cute but huggable and loveable. She also wrote them each a letter. Ayden and Addyson sleep with these bears each night and they are their new favorite snuggly! The photo boards were displayed at her celebration of life luncheon, my sister-in -law Kimi and I made them up, and know she would have loved to "show off" all the great pictures of her family to everyone!

Pony tail for Addy!!!
