Arlee's Visit

Gabe's sister and her son Bragen came to visit this last week and we had so much fun. Bragen is such a little doll. Owen and Bragen had a lot of fun playing together even though Owen can be a little awnry sometimes and push Bragen down. We were able to go to Huntington beach, Palm Springs, t-ball games, a birthday party, the park, and the San Diego Zoo while they were here. It was a fun filled week. Little Madelyn loved sharing her room to Aunt Arlee and her cousin Bragen. She still asks when they are coming back. She really enjoyed them being here. Gabe's step sister, Jessica also came to visit for a night. We had a nice time going to dinner and lunch in Palm Springs. Here are some pictures from our week...

T-Ball

My baby girl, Madelyn had her first T-ball game today. It was so cute. She did awesome. She grounded the balls that came to her and made some base hits. Audrey her cousin is also on her team and was fun to watch. Here's a video and some pictures...

Wild Animal Park

I forgot to post some pics from our trip to the Wild Animal Park for Kailey, my niece's birthday. So here are some to enjoy!

Birthday!

So I celebrated my 26th birthday on Saturday and I had such a great day. First I woke up and started my day at the gym with Kelly and Tammy. When I came home my wonderful husband and kids had my presents waiting, which was some things for my car and some weights for the gym. After I showered I went to lunch with Jodie at Casino Morongo where she handed me $30 bucks and told me to play. I won $110!! I was so excited. Then I came home to Tammy picking me up to go shopping for an outfit for my night out. We then went and picked everyone (Rhianon, Tobi, and Kelly) up and went to see "He's just not that into you" at the movies. After which we finished up the night at Marla's for dinner and some drinks, where Tanya and Diana joined us. It was such a great day. Thanks to my husband for watching the kids all day, I was able to have a day out with my friends. I also recieved many cards in the mail, phone calls all day, and well wishes on facebook, myspace, and meetup. Thanks to everyone for making my day so wonderful. Here are some pictures to see our night out!

Been Awhile...

So we have been busy with life and have not posted in awhile, so I thought I should update. My friend Karen moved back to Oregon last weekend and a few weeks ago we had a going away party for her. (Picture: Julianna, Karen, Jenna, and Kelly, the organizers of my Moms group). My SIL had knee surgery last week and we have been busy helping her family out, going to Valentine's Parties, working out, and Madelyn even had her first slumber party at her friend's house. She stayed with her friend Tyler and had so much fun, watching movies and eating popcorn, playing play-doh, coloring, getting her hair done and playing outside. Mommy had a nice break but Daddy was a little uneasy about the whole thing. He was ready for her to come home. Owen is charming as ever. He is starting to copy everything you say and it is so cute. He is finally over the pneumonia and back to his old self, into everything. Gabe is staying busy at work, thankful to be making it through the hard times. We are coming up on my niece's birthday, my birthday and our anniversary, so we will be busy for the next couple weeks. Until then I hope everyone has a great week.

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....
