Audrey's first steps!


So Audrey took 2 steps! She is still very unstable, but everyday she seems to gain alittle more confidence. She is going to be 11 months on the 1st of Oct. My baby girl is so big! She gives high fives and claps her hands. She picks up on new things SO fast.

Kayla






Hi everyone! Poor Kayla is stuck in a home run by babies! So here is a tribute to my big baby girl! She is 7 almost 8. She is one busy girl. She is on the Swim team and is going to start competing at the end of this month! Kayla is a little bit nervous, however I am positive she will be great! Kayla just started playing soccer for her school's team. Kayla's new school is GREAT! As a parent, I am very pleases with the curriculum and all the activities! She is going to join the Drama club which will be taking off this week. I am the new Drama coach! She is so excited that I have volunteered for the position. It is just one more thing on my plate, but seeing her reaction was worth it! The Drama club was not going to happen this year, and I believe drama is a healthy way for children to express their feelings. So of course, I volunteered! Kayla is a really good girl, she has her mom and dad's temper.... It is especially bad when she doesn't eat on a regular schedule. Kayla loves her brother and sister so much. A few weeks ago Kayla woke me up in the middle of the night crying and shaking because she had a dream someone kidnapped Audrey. She wouldn't go back to sleep until she checked on her sister. As soon as she saw Audrey safe, sleeping, she went to bed herself. Kayla is at this independent stage, yet she still loves me to hold and cuddle her. She has such a big heart. She love to sing and dance, and she is really good at both! I love watching her grow. I am amazed at how smart she is. Her favorite books are non- fiction. She likes to learn about animals and England, for some reason she is very interested in England's history. Kayla, has taught me so much about life, love, and motherhood! I am so blessed to have her in my life! Kayla mommy loves you SO MUCH!

Britney Spears

OK Britney, what are you doing to my child? This is a perfect example of what is wrong with our society. Does Britney, Paris, or whats that red heads name...Lindsay, really think they are better then the rest of us? No wonder kids now don't have any respect for their elders. I was driving home the other day and a punk kid was walking in the middle of the street, come on kid why do you think sidewalks were invented? I stopped to let him cross and he threw his arms up and make snotty remarks to me. I just waved him to cross the darn street. I would have never disrespected anyone like that when I was 10. He had to be 10 or maybe 11. I guess it is no surprise, these kids roll models are arrogant and have no regard for authority. I am only 26 yrs old, have things really changed that much since I was a kid?

More summer photos!






Ok my wireless connection is having


PROBLEMS! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR





So I am finally getting in on this whole "BLOGGING" thing. I know, I am the last person in the 20Th century to do so. Well since we are away from most of our family and friends, this is the next best way to watch my children grow. We had a very exciting summer! June we spent in Orange County, Annie got married. She made such a beautiful bride. I was the Matron of honor, Kayla was the flower girl, and Tyler was the ring barer. After the wedding we went to Disneyland, Tyler is still talking about it! JULY: We bought a 2004 tent trailer! The kids and I spent a week at lake Shasta with my parents Brian had to work so he drove and dropped us off! Too bad my dad's brand new boat broke. We were stuck and it rained, with thunder and lightning. It was really a cool sight. I really enjoyed just hanging out with my kids and my family. AUG: Kayla started school. She is at a new school this year. She looks so cute in her uniforms. I am really excited about the education she is getting at this new school. She is really maturing into a beautiful intelligent young lady. I love watching her grow everyday. Our new favorite thing to do on the weekends is pack up last minute Friday night and drive somewhere, anywhere and camp. We live in such a beautiful part of the world. There are so many new places to explore right in our backyard. Tyler is starting to speak in sentences. He is such a wonderful human being, I thank god everyday for blessing me with a son. Growing up with mostly girls, this is a new experience for me. Everyday Audrey changes! She is crawling all over and standing on furniture. She is really smart, Audrey waves bye bye, and she says momma, Dada, and Lola ( our dog) she yells at the dogs to be quite, she claps and give high fives. I am just amazed at how fast she learns new things. Brian and I are enjoying our life to the fullest. We fall more in love with each other everyday. He has taught me so much about life and love. I am truly blessed to be able to stay home with my kids. I am however volunteering at a home for young pregnant women. I am learning so much about people, things I would have never imagined I would learn. I am a mentor for a young lady right now. I love working there and maybe would like to pursue a job in social work or counseling. Who knows, I love the real estate industry but I would really like to make a difference in other people's lives. Well that's enough about me until the next time!
