Well well.....

Well here we are almost at the end of October! It has been a pretty busy summer. Our summer started off with a drive to Disneyland. It was so much fun and the girls did great in the car for that long. We also visited universal studio, San Diego zoo, sea world.

In June Melanie turned 5 and Sophie turned 1. It was such a nice day we got lucky considering we had so much rain until almost the middle of summer.

Melanie has been cheering for Richmond football she likes it but gets worn out and she doesn't like it when it's cold. She also started kindergarten. She been having a hard time with working on homework and staying focused.

Allison has really been up to to much. She is turning 4 in a couple of weeks. We have been trying to figure out something for her to do since Melanie has a lot going on but it's hard because she is too young for a lot of things.

Vince is almost done with his masters degree. He has I believe 2 semesters left including the one he's taking now.

Sophie is getting so big and is happy most of the time. It still amazes me how fast they learn things at this age. She can be such a little chatter box.

This week my brother nick started off on a new path. He shipped off to boot camp for the national guard. He decided that the guard was the right path for him that he can stay in Washington to be with Tyler. I hope this works out for him.

That's all I have to report on for now.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

Guess where we are taking the girls for Melanie's 5th and Sophie's 1st birthdays.

That's right we are bringing the girls to Disneyland!

We are really excited! I have never been there before!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

My blog turned 3 on April 2. I cannot believe what all has gone on over the last 3 years!

Well here I am almost 1 week into to my new career as a stay at home mom and it did not start off very smooth... 1 hour in I locked Allison in the van at Vince work.... thank god she is old enough to open the door too bad it took 20 minutes to talk her through climbing into the front seat to open my door since she can't open the sliding doors on the van. We headed to long beach which was nice to get away for the weekend. We came home Sunday morning.

Sunday evening after we got home Sophie was not acting herself, very sleepy and clingy. Monday did not get any better she slept from 7:30pm until 10:30am she woke up and wouldn't eat, well she did get in about 3 ounce and then up it all went.... and slept off and on throughout the day. Finally that evening I decided to bring her to the hospital but oh guess what..... KEYS LOCKED IN THE VAN AGAIN!!!! Thank goodness we have roadside assistances on the cars they came in about 30 minutes and then we were off to the hospital.

When the nurse came in she was worried about how lethargic she was and being in the back of the ER away from a nurses station so we were moved to another room. They took a chest CT. poor baby she has a pneumonia in her right lung. She is defiantly starting to act more herself. She is on antibiotics and an inhaler.

Tomorrow is the Mariner home opener! Now that there is no parking anywhere down there the girls and i may try and take the train down. The girls are so excited about going to the baseball game!

I had a follow up CT in February and I never posted the results. I had another CLEAR scan!

I have been working some on my cupcakes. I need to practice more on my cakes and I am hoping to do that when I am not working anymore. So if you would like some cupcakes let me know and we can work something out!

The count down!

I am about to experience a new journey in life one that I never thought that I would take or would want to take. In 44 days (32 business days) I will become a full time stay at home mom.

I have a follow up CT next Tuesday 2/22 and I have an appointment with Dr. M on Wednesday to go over the results.

Other than that there isn't anything else going on with us.

Sophie is 8.5 months old and weighs 13lbs 5ozs, we go in every other week for weight checks still. She is still breastfed at least 1/2 to 3/4 the time and the other times she get formula. I truly hope that I can make it to 1 year. I think that when I am home and I can nurse on demand it will get better.


Melanie is all registered for kindergarten and she is so excited about starting in the fall.


Allison is still our sweet girl but she has become more and more stubborn, which has sometimes been very challenging.
