Texas baby!

Rosane and I went to visit my brother Mark and his family in Texas. We had a wonderful time! They are wonderful hosts and my nephews are some of the sweetest ever! They are growing up to be such gentlemen. Whenever we see them they have this ability to make you feel so special and like you are #1! We don't see them a whole lot, and so it is nice because they actually want to hang out with you. We had a great time. and the dogs are the best dogs ever! They gave Rosane and I a workout trying to walk them though!
We were in Michaels on the last day and we found these funny hats and we got everyone to try them on and take a picture. It was funny!

Want to buy a wedding dress?

If any of you know someone who needs a wedding dress or would like to buy one for cheap, give them my number. Its probably a size 4, maybe smaller. It is in good condition and it is temple ready too. :)

Irvine Railroad Park

My visiting teacher told me about this park out in Irvine that has a train and a zoo, and so we went. IT was fun! Cute little place. They were having an Easter thing going on too. We rode the train, and fed the ducks and walked around their little zoo. The animals all kind of looked sick though. The bald eagle was lying on the ground, the mountain lion was just laying there looking like it was going to throw up. We felt kind of bad for them! Then there were these peacocks that wouldn't shut up! LOL! IT was a nice family day.

Ahhh my little couch potatoes!

PARTY TIME!!!

So I was crazy mom this year. We do friend parties every other year, and so this year was Andrew's turn to have one. Well you can't just invite church friends, and you can't just invite some of the school friends, so we invited everyone. And as always, around Andrew's birthday it is rainy. So the forecast was that it was going to rain that day and I had no idea what I was going to do with 30 kids in my little house. That was just kids! Not including parents who I wanted to stay because I didn't want to be responsible for those 30 kids by myself! :) A miracle happened though and the rain stayed away and it was beautiful! We had a lot of kids, and a lot of fun! I also had a LOT of cake left over! Luckily the next day was my Dad's birthday and we just used the leftover cake for his birthday party! :) We just scraped off Andrew's name. How cheesy is that? Oh well, it works!

My "baby" turned 6!!!

On February 10th Andrew turned 6 years old. I can't believe it! He has grown up so much this past year with being in school and all. He is a big help to me, and he loves his brothers too. These are pictures of Uncle Jason and Ashleys gift to him. He was so excited! We had saved our gifts for his party, so it was the first present he got to open. He loves presents!

February Randomness

Short Hair!

In February, while Jeff was gone, I finally chopped off my hair! I was so tired of it and wanted a change. Jeff likes long hair and wasn't thrilled, but I have had long hair for him for years now! So I did it! I patterned it after Katie Holmes hair, which I have loved since she first did it. It was fun to make such a drastic change!

Christmas Morning!

Disclaimer! I don't know why there are not any pictures of Zack on Christmas morning! Poor kid is going to think we didn't love him! But we did get him Christmas presents I Promise!
Andrew has been wanting a baskteball hoop for awhile, and while I was working at Toy's R Us it went on sale and then with my discount, I couldn't pass it up! They had a really great Christmas this year. So many presents! We usually try to keep it to 2 presents each because we don't want them to think that is what Christmas is all about. This year was a little different though. Santa Claus was very generous. :) Next year it will be back to just 2 presents though. They got really greedy after a while. I hope you all had great Christmases!
