The 1 thing I love about Cali and Sunshine...

THE BEACH of course...this last weekend we decided to take advantage of the sun and head on down to the waves. Sitting on the sand you could see Catalina Island so clear and all the way to the top of Mt. Baldy. It was gorgeous. Sad to say, but in savannahs 6 yrs of being alive she has only been to the beach 2 times. This last weekend was her second time but I swear she loved it as if we went all the time. In fact all the kids did. It was such a nice relaxing day, a very much needed break from all the worries and stresses in life. We definitely need to do it more often. So ladies reading this I say we get together and have some fun beach days this summer with the kiddos...


eatin good ol' PB & J sandwiches, What else would you eat at the beach than a SAND wich? Addy dropped hers so many times it was a SAND wich.


she wasn't to sure about the sand and water thing...the water was a little cold.

This picture says it all, if you know my kids then you'll understand. Savannah STILL singing of course, Addy with only one eye open...hahaha, and Kaden well he better stop posing like that or else I swear I'm gonna have 4 girls. He needs a football.

He loved the playing in the sand.




Trying to sunbathe while Brooky sleeps on me, I loved cuddling her.

They all took turns getting buried in the sand, and loved it.

My sweet strawberry punch girl, her mouth was red all day.

Loving her bouncer at the beach.

Brooklyn 9 1/2 months in bath...

So Gorgeous!

I had to capture these moments of her loving the bath. She could stay in there for hours if I let her. She has never cried while giving her a bath, maybe she'll be our water baby!!

Remembering my Childhood through my Kids

As I walk in the girls room to check on them (well to make sure they are sleeping and not talking)I find them like this...I thought it was so adorable. I went back to when I was a little girl and how much fun I had with my siblings building forts, playing house, school, and just having fun being a kid. Savannah put a hideaway tent on top of her bed to sleep in and of course Addison couldn't miss out on all the fun so she joined her. Here they are sleeping inside the tent.




There cute feet hanging out of the tent.


Here's Addison laying on the floor the next night...She must have been so exhausted she just crashed. It doesn't look to comfortable:)

SleepOver and pictures my kids take while stealing my camera!

The kids had their friend luke over for their first sleepover. Well actually it was kaden's first sleepover since he is a boy and kaden kept asking me to have him come and sleep over. As you can see from the pictures Addison thought it was her sleep over as well. I had the girls sharing the bed and the boys on the floor...well it didn't stay that way for long. They watched a movie and ate popcorn and crashed at almost 10pm. Well luke crashed first, my kids were to excited to fall asleep. And then at 6:10am I hear talking already, I was in complete shock. Luke woke up realizing he was not at home and was so happy he had a sleepover he started talking and waking up everyone else. I was a bit tired that day but the kids had fun and atleast we don't have sleepovers everynight...:)



Random pictures my kids take...Gotta love it!

Our next February Birthday goes to ... ADDISON!

Addison (my third baby) will be 3 tomorrow February 28th. I can't believe it. I remember the hospital room I delivered her in, the visitors and the words spoken after having her, Perfectly! She's all grown up :( Well she's still my baby and always will be.

Happy 3rd Birthday !! Sweet Girl

Yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheeses to celebrate, one of her favorite places. It was so nice. She loved it and I loved not having to clean up the mess. Here are some pics of her party.

Happy Anniversary my love...

Yesterday the 9th of February was our Anniversary and with it being a day late, I still wanted to make a post to my Husband and tell him how much I love him. We are at our 7th year of marriage and time sure has flown bye. We have 4 amazing children together and I couldn't imagine my life any other way. Our life has not been perfect but whos has? All our ups and downs have made us stronger people and more in love everyday...You are such a great father and husband. You are the hardest worker I know of and you always try to do your best to help better your family. I know you would do anything for us and I love you so much for that. Thankyou for putting us first and for helping me around the house and always showing your love for me...you love spending time with your family and always taking us on great day adventures. My love for you is unconditional...Happy 7th and 7+ more to come.

I would post wedding pictures but I can't scan them...I wish we had digital back then :(

My Oldest is SIX!

We had a family party for Savannah at my sister in laws house (Loma). It was nice spending time with family and eating lots of yummy food.



Her new bike, she loves!



Happy Birthday SAVANNAH! February 3rd is Savannahs real b-day but Saturday the 7th we celebrated at chuck e cheeses with lots of friends, some family, pizza, games and cake. It was very chaotic (sp) but lots of fun. I don't recommend saturday b-day parties there unless you reserve ahead of time and of course we thought getting there at 10 am would be good enough for finding seating, well lets just say we were wrong:) We made the best of it and I don't think the kids even minded that we were a little crowded. They had tokens and games and that's all that mattered.


Cousins and Best friends




Happy 6th Birthday, Vannah!
