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!

Here's a cap on the last month of our fun adventures!

Since Louis had the day off work on Martin luther king day we decided to go to the L.A. Zoo. We had lots of fun with the kids and they of course had fun as well, like all kids would of course.





Louis and I had a date day to California Adventure and D-land. Louis' mom came over at 11am to watch the kids all day (thank you so much) and I left to meet him down the hill. We were shocked by how quiet our drive was and how little yelling took place. We LOVED the time spent together as if we were newly married wtih no kids and we also got to ride all the rides WE wanted to go on. Great day!!


Yes that is us in the front, we just had to do it!

And once again, louis being his crazy, funny self!



About 2 days later we took the kids to California Adventure, we have been going a lot lately since our passes expire Feb. 2nd. We are going to be so sad on that day. Maybe in a year or two we'll be back. Here are some snaps of our day with the kids, and just to put it in writing "Soaring over California" is my favorite ride yet!





Waiting for the HSM3 parade, savannah took the picture, they loved watching it.

7 Months Today

My Beautiful Miss Brooklyn...I love you more than words can say. I am so glad that Heavenly Father sent you to our family. I can't believe it's already been 7 months that you came into our world...

You...
smile, coo, talk(your own baby language), giggle, cry, try to crawl, getting really good at sitting up, love your bottle, don't really like jar food and zipper your mouth shut after a few bites, love your bouncer, love standing up, love daddy, love when daddy plays with you, don't sleep through the night yet(but hopefully soon:), love to grab things when we are holding you and try to shove it in your mouth, make us smile and laugh, love your siblings soooo much even Addison when she pulls on you a little hard, complete our family in every way!

Santa came...and family time at Christmas.

This was our tree the night before Christmas...and then the kids woke up and to their suprise Santa came and they couldn't stop giggling and smiling...and then the wrapping paper was destroyed and all was well :)





Later that evening we went to my moms to enjoy an awesome Roast Dinner and spend time with family. My mom gave each of us kids a very special Christmas gift from the past. You may think okay that's weird but to us these items were very much a part of our life growing up so they hold much meaning. My brother got the old sugar container we used to have at our Diamond bar house growing up...we had it for years. My mom gave my sister a Ladle from a china set that our Great-Grandma gave her and I received a glass casserole dish that my parents received at their wedding and also that we ate out of frequently growing up. Now I can make casserole dishes out of it for my children...

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow...And so it DID!

Louis woke me up at 6:45am to look out the window... and all I saw was white. It was gorgeous. So it has been snowing all day long and we have about 13 inches of snow at our house right now. We love it. We went to Target and got snow gloves and beanies for the kids as we came home we tried to park in the driveway but we had so much snow we were slipping and sliding and we had to park out on the street. So to say the least we are stuck at home, but we don't mind because all we want to do is play in it...so we did for hours. We made a snowman named "Jolly" and we had a snowball fight, the kids could barely walk without getting their shoes stuck in the snow. We came inside to warm up by the fire and we drank our Hot Cocoa and watched some Christmas movies together. It's been a GREAT day and one we will NEVER forget. It may not be a white Christmas but it's close enough for us. Thank you for coming snow, come again soon. :)
