All I want for Christmas....2010

The Cousins

The GIRLS!

I created this in Picnik so fun...

Here are my two favorite Gifts!!!

I love presents!

Love my Jammies!

This Christmas was wonderful. We enjoyed every moment of it with our family and friends. We had Christmas Eve at my grandma and grandpa's house. We always take photos and mess around outside the kids and I. Then we stayed at our home on Christmas and visited with all the neighbors and their families. What was so funny is that all the neighbors had tri-tip for their dinner. Our cul-de-sac was packed with fun times. The day after my aunt and cousin came out and we went to Victoria Gardens with my sister and the boys. Of course no trip there is complete unless you eat at the
Cheesecake Factory!

My favorite Aunt!

This Thanksgiving we had a lot to be thankful for...... We have such wonderful friends who are like our family and a wonderful family who are our friends. We cherish what we have and truly enjoy the holidays. My sister got to fly down to be with us this Thanksgiving and it was great. We went and stayed with my mom and dad, since Daryl's mom is in the hospital. He was a great son and spent the Thanksgiving holiday with her and brought her food in the hospital. The boys and I had a relaxing time out at my parents place. I love taking photos at their house so scenic there.Well Christmas will be here before we know so I better get a move on it....

The Great Pumpkin!

Brandon is getting ready to turn 1. He is so excited to be able to move around and climb on everything. He loves to sit outside with his pumpkins and roll them all over the place.

4 Our Kids Sake

This beautiful little baby named Kaitlyn Marie Russell was born in Feb 8, 2000. Exactly 10 years ago, todayAugust 15, her babysitter, left her in the car with windows rolled up and doors closed. When the police arrived, Kaitlyn's body temperature was 107. She passed away and is now an angel in heaven. This is a tragedy that should of never happened.! We must never leave our children in the car for any reason!
August is purple ribbon month to honor Kaitlyn!♥

4th of July 2010

How Sweet!
Brothers

We love the 4th of July holiday! It is so close to Justin's birthday and all the swimming and BBQ's. This year we stayed local due to the baby having an ear infection and getting teeth. We hung out at the neighbors pool all day and had a great BBQ. We put the kids to bed and the adults had a great time playing "Catch Phrase". I think next time though we need a referee....I even made my kids shirts to match this year now that I have two of them...

We had a busy yet fun holiday weekend. We headed to my moms house in San Diego on Sat. I even got to gamble a little and made some cash. Not much but hey it is better than losing. We stayed their all day Saturday and my step sister brought her three girls out to entertain Justin. They played and played. We ate a delicious BBQ and even went for a nice scenic drive. We headed home the next day and have been swimming at our neighbors ever since. Fun times for everyone!
