Tree Cutting!


For many years now my husband and his family have always traveled to a tree farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains to find THE perfect tree, to chop it down and bring home to decorate. They still do this and we will be continuing this tradition with our kids too. Every year its different it could be raining, windy or the sun can be shining brightly! For sure we will all find THE tree, have a wonderful after Thanksgiving lunch and then head home to put up THE tree and decorate.

Blessing of our Children, Family and Fun






This past weekend my wonderful husband gave a blessing to each of our children. Each blessing was detailed for them individually. We had fun and enjoyed the time that our family was able to so generously share with us. Make sure you look at the older posts too!

Are you ready for Halloween?






Here are some pictures of our recent visits to find the perfect pumpkin, to ride on the tractor a time or two and to enjoy the nice weather.

My Dad

10/05/1956 - 10/14/2005

I miss his laugh. I miss him slurping coffee and soup ridiculously loud. I miss that stupid van he drove. If you were the last one to the van you were lucky enough to sit on a 5 gallon bucket. If you were out way too late Dad would make you drive because he was mysteriously tired (right James). He always stopped to buy us some sort of breakfast on the way, Jack N the Box, McDonalds or even AMPM. He loved to play tennis and was very athletic. All those who knew dad appreciated him, love him and miss him. My dad always said he would make it to Heaven because of his beautiful wife. I believe him.

Time for solids!

She loves oatmeal and is starting to like green beans. She loves to see the spoon come out of the drawer and gets so excited as it comes close to her mouth.

I just love my new wagon

Friends of our have children who grew out of the wagon and they passed it on to us. Bobby just loves it. This is the first day he saw it and asked to eat his lunch inside the house, inside his wagon.

How cute am I?

Her first bow. Isn't she cute?

Hey, look at me!

Recently we needed a tree removed and I thought this would be a great opportunity for Bobby to check out. We saw a backhoe and a dump truck. The young man running the backhoe said that Bobby was a reminder of how he was awe struck as a kid with machinery. He asked if Bobby would like to climb on the tractor and Bobby said "I drive it!" Cute... I know.

Family

My aunt Teri and cousin Ashleigh stopped by to visit. We had a wonderful time with them. We went to the park, the pet store and out to eat. Thank you for visiting and for all the toys!

Me and my Uncle Jesse

A day at the park




We went to this awesome park with a great BIG slide. We all had fun... Thanks Vanessa "messa".

Happy Birthday to Nana

I just want to wish my mom a wonderful birthday. She is an amazing mom. We had a good time celebrating with two of my brothers, Vanessa and Jim and Nicci. We love you mom.

Going to work with Daddy

Bobby always wants to go to work just like Daddy. So he moved Daddy's bag and all of the items in it out and climbed in. He then said to his Daddy "I go work with Daddy, please?"

My husband is amazing




A few weeks ago my wonderful husband said to me, "Would you like me to build you a few shelves so you have more storage space?  You know, we could utilize our closets better if I put a few in."  To which I replied, "That would be wonderful."  Here is the before and after pictures.  I'll post another picture when they are being utilized, soon I hope!


Grandpa's little helper

Bobby received a tricycle from our wonderful neighbors for his birthday.  Grandpa was so kind to put it together for us and as you can see Bobby wanted to help.

Happy Birthday to me...

Bobby had a wonderful day.  He blew out both of the candles on the first try!
