Sick Again

Well I took Owen into the urgent care today for almost 4 hours to find out he has an ear infection and pneumonia. He was such a good sport about the x-rays, breathing machines, and the shot. I have to take him back on Monday and do more x-rays to make sure he is getting better. It has been a long day. I feel like he has been getting sick a lot this winter.
On a more positive note we celebrated my niece Audrey's birthday last weekend. Saturday we had the cake and ice cream party and Sunday, Gabe went with Madelyn and his brother's family to Disneyland. I hope everyone is having a great week... Here are some pictures of Madelyn and Audrey playing dress up and at Disneyland!

Crazy week!!!!

We have been rather busy the last week. We attended two birthday parties last Saturday and on Monday I started a biggest loser competition in my mom's group. On Wednesday Madelyn, Owen, and our friends, Karen and Christian and I went to Disneyland. It was a beautiful day and no crowds. Then on Friday I went to my friend Agnes' birthday. I also took over the postion as Assistant Organizer for the mom's group I am involved with.There is 60 moms's involved in the group and I am happy to be a part of this wonderful experience. I hope I catch on to everything quickly and can handle my responsiblities. It shall be fun to see how it goes.
Gabe has been working constantly to keep his job. With times being so tough for everyone, jobs are in jeopardy everyday. I am so thankful he is still working and for all the many blessings in my life, including my family and friends. Tonight we are celebrating my niece, Audrey's 4th birthday so I hope to post more later. Check back for more updates....

Photo Shoot

I hope the new year is treating everyone well. We were able to go to a photography lesson in my moms group on how to capture pictures of your kids. I learned a few new helpful ideas and wanted to share some of the results. I am still learning so they are beginner pictures. But I had great models to practice with.

Happy New Year. I hope everyone was able to ring in the new year last night. We had a great time, going to our friend Kai's house and eating Sushi, King Crab legs, and tons of yummy food. We sang karaoke and the kids played until midnight. We then watched the New York times ball drop and drank our sparkling cider to toast to a wonderful new year. Best wishes to everyone as the new year begins. I hope you all have resolutions that suit you and many blessings that come your way.
