Easter 2013

Happy Birthday to Allison and Lance

This year is flying by. Lance and Allie had their birthday on March 14. One of them turned 43 and the other turned 10. They requested a Red Velvet ice cream cake and we spent the day at Disneyland (gotta get our $$ out of those season passes.) A week earlier, we had Grandma and Grandpa, Jamie and Mackenzie, Jill and her family and our friend's the Gibsons over to celebrate the March Birthdays of Allison, Lance and Kyle. It was a FULL HOUSE. We had so much fun eating, talking and laughing. We are so happy to have Allison in our family. She is such a thoughtful, sweet girl. She loves to draw me pictures telling me that she loves me and she really has artistic talent (this talent did NOT come from me.) She loves animals and has a very tender heart. We are so happy that she is a part of our family. We are also so grateful for Lance. He works so hard for our family and is always there when we need him. He is the best husband and daddy one could ask for.

Jackson Turns Five

I can't believe that my baby boy has turned 5. It seems like yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. We went to Disneyland to celebrate his big day. He got to pick the toys he wanted to buy with his birthday money. He had an ice cream cake and lots of presents from his cousins and grandparents. He had a great day. We are so happy to have him in our family. He makes us laugh about 50 times a day, and want to pull our hair out 100 times a day. But when you see that dimple and he bats his blue eyes at you, it's impossible to stay mad at that boy.

Christmas 2012

If you can believe it, these are the only pictures I took while we were at my parent's house for Christmas. I guess I was having too much fun!

Eye of the Tiger

Rachel's AYSO team won 1st place in the Region 47 Under 12 division. They had an awesome team and two dedicated coaches. It is fun to see her develop her athletic ability. So proud of her.

Rachel's First School Dance

Rachel and her girls, at their first dance in Jr. High.

Smartie Pants

Allie got an award from her teacher for being an excellent student. We are so proud of her and what a hard working student she is.

Thanksgiving 2012

We were able to go to Arizona to visit Lance's brother Jake and his wife Shauna for Thanksgiving. Grandma and Grandpa were there along with Jill and her family. We had a great long weekend eating, shopping, eating, shopping.....

Christmas at Disneyland

We LOVE Disneyland at Christmas.

Preschool Pie with Parents

Jackson's preschool class invited all the parents to have pie to celebrate Thanksgiving. They even helped make the pumpkin pie with their teachers. The kids are so cute and say the funniest things. I am so happy to see how much Jackson LOVES preschool. He says he wishes he could go every day. Little does he know, he soon will.

Knotsberry Farm 2013

Every Year Grandma and Grandpa take the kids who live in SoCal to Knottsberry Farm in November for Veteran's Day. There are no lines and the kids have so much fun with their cousins. Thanks to Grandpa who is a veteran. We are proud of the way he served our country honorably.
