Memories

It is a sad day for our family, My father in-law Ben passed away. He was fighting cancer but the cancer spread throughout his body. It was so sad for us but we knew that he needed be with God. We did not want Ben to be suffering and more. He will be greatly missed, we love him so much. He was the Greatest Father in-law, Dad, and Papa. He would do anything for his boys and grandkids. It was such an honor to have met him and to be a part of his family. I thank him so much for raising such a wonderful son. Without Ben I would not have my amazing husband and our two wonderful kids. He was in sound mind until the moment he passed.
We love you Ben
You will always be
here with us!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! On Christmas eve we went to my Aunt's house. We celebrated with our family and friends and ate some delicious food. Emily and Brandon are blessed, so many people love them and bought them so many presents. We are so thankful for everything that we have! On Christmas morning Emily and Brandon came down stairs to see all the great presents that Santa left for them. Emily said that Mickey the Elf must of told Santa how good they had been. Brandon enjoyed opening all of his presents since last year he was an ity bitty baby. I can't believe he is already 1! After opening all of the presents we went to James' parents house for breakfast. I couldn't not believe how much they bought for the kids. Emily and Brandon loved being with their cousins! For Christmas dinner my parents and Uncle come over and brought dinner. Thank goodness for Mom's! Emily and Brandon had more gifts to open. We had the best Christmas! I love my life!

Emily's Christmas program

My baby girl is growing up way tooooo fast. I blinked and she was 1 blinked again then she was 3 and once again blinked a now she is 4 1/2 and in preschool, having a christmas show! Emily was so excited for her show, she couldn't wait for all of us to see her perform. The night before, she woke up complaining that her ear hurt. As soon as the Dr. opened in the morning, I called and got an appointment. Yup she had and ear infection. She still wanted to perform in her show. Emily said that the only time her ear didn't hurt was when she was singing.( so darn cute) We went and she did great!She said she was the star of the show! Which is even cuter because all the kids were on the stage at the sametime singing the same songs. Of course I told her, "yes baby you were the star of the show" I love this girl soooooooooo much!
James missed her show he was in Santa Rosa for training, he was so upset! We missed him too!

Brandon"s Party!

Brandon had a great birthday party, he is so loved! Lots of people came to celebrate our boys 1st birthday. He was having so much fun playing in the bounce house. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I think this was the coldest day of the year. We were freezing, but the kids did not seem to care! I love watching the kids play. My favorite part of the day was watching Brandon eat his birthday cupcake. Super cute!

Brandon's 1st. Birthday

We took Brandon to disneyland on his 1st Birthday! We had lots of fun.

It has been forever since I have updated my blog. My family has been sick for about a month. From colds to coughs to sore throats, ear infections to the FLU! We have had it all! Thanks goodness we are all back to ourselves once again. Just in time for Christmas and Brandon's 1st Birthday. I can't believe he is going to be 1. Time flew by this year. We have loved and enjoyed every minute. As I was getting ready today so that we could get our Christmas pictures taken at the picture people. Brandon loves to take all of the stuff out from under the bathroom sink, which I don't mind since it keeps him happy! So anyway I looked down and didn't see him so I walked in front of the sink and this is what I saw!







Emily thought it was so funny she wanted to go into, so of course I had to take a picture.

Bike Ride!

James took Emily and Brandon for a bike ride. The weather was perfect and the kids loved it so much! Brandon was so relaxed he feel asleep. I need a bike so we can all go together. It would be fun for all of us to go bike riding while we are camping
