Olivia and Steve's Wedding


Here is a picture of the beautiful bride and groom at their Winter wedding!!  By looking at the happy couple you would never guess how tired and stressed out they were!!

Love you guys thanks for sharing the picture!!

Elissa hits double digits!!

















Saturday night we decidedd to head out
 to Lancaster for my oldest goddaughter/niece, Elissa's  birthday (she turned 10).  We spent the night and celebrated on Sunday.  Nevaeh could not wait to get there, she kept saying "daddy, drive faster", she is so silly!!  Once we were there Nevaeh ran, played, danced and laughed her little heart out with her cousins.
I was a little bummed about driving for 3 hours but once I got there I could not have been happier.  I missed my sister, Alex and all of my nieces and nephews.  
Here are a few pics:
1)Elissa and Jasmine playing twister (please notice Nevaeh in the mix trying to play)
2)The best I could do... I tried to get all the grandkids looking at me for a picture BUT Elissa had to turn to look at Jake!!
3)Me and my sister, Alex!!! (I've missed you so much)
4)my youngest goddaughter ... Nikki!

Nevaeh and Edie


On the 13th we went to visit Nevaeh's oldest friend Edie... they have been friends before they were even born.  We met Marty and Amy, Edie's daddy and mommy, at Lamaze class when we were about 7 months pregnant and we have been friends ever since.  The girls always have fun together and play very well together too.  
We had not seen them in a while so we decided to take a trip to San Elijo and visit our great friends.  
 

Happy Valentine's Day




Well, I honestly think I have the best husband ever... he is so sweet, caring, thoughtful, and the best part is he is an even better father!!
Since I have school Thursday nights, we celebrated Valentine's day on the 13th by going  to Claim Jumper (where we went for our first date) and had dinner with our little Valentine.  I received two gifts: a gift card to Adora's Hair Salon (from Jacob) and the Deceptively Delicious cookbook (from Nevaeh).... I was ecstatic!!  
Nevaeh gave daddy a gift certificate for a car wash... which he loved and desperately needed. 
On the 14th, Jacob came home with flowers for both Nevaeh and myself!!  The card he gave me made me cry... so sweet!!  
(he even sent his mom a card!!)
MAN... I honestly don't care if this is a "commercialized" holiday... it feels nice to get spoiled!!
