Happy Birthday Little Man!

I can't believe our little baby boy is 4! Time flies by so fast. His birthday was on Wednesday and we had donuts, pancakes and presents in the morning to celebrate. Later we went to the library for story time and we brought donut holes to all of his friends. They sang Happy Birthday to him. Then on Saturday we had a small family party to celebrate. He was in heaven.

Pizza party for dinner!

Baby Dane is Here

We are so excited for our friends Tad and Amber. Their child was born on January 24th, about 2 weeks early. Amber looked phenomenal her entire pregnancy. Here is a picture of us together January 10th. Anyone would guess that I was the one due in February. She was hardly showing at 36 weeks pregnant. Baby Dane is one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. Here are some pictures of him and my kids.



Baby Dane, CJ, Micah, Miss B.

Palm Springs


JB's awsome parents took us to Palm Springs along with JB' sister Kelly and her husband John.  It was a Christmas gift.  We had such a great weekend sleeping in, shopping, golfing, going out to dinner and movies.  I think I gained 5 pounds this weekend because we were eating at places like the Outback Steakhouse and Cheesecake factory every day and night.  It was so nice to have some time without the kids too.

We Love It Here!

CJ took his shirt off, so M wanted to take of her bathing suit to match him.  It was pretty funny.

We are loving HB.  Today we went on a bike ride to the beach because the weather was so great.  We went all the way down to Bolsa Chica.  The kids had so much playing in the sand.  CJ was even playing in the 54 degree water.  On the way back he was so exhausted that he fell asleep on top of his sister.  She was not too happy about that.

We're in!

We are finally in! We are so excited to be back in downtown HB. The kids have adjusted so well too. Here are a couple of pics of them enjoying their new bath, kitchen table, and beds. Miss B is actually doing pretty good in her new bed.

Moving


The picture tells it all.  We started moving things into the house on January 3rd.  The kids were so exhausted, I wish I was in the back seat sleeping with them.

Happy New Year!




New Year's Day was so beautiful.  The kids had so much fun playing outside with their new toys.  M loved pushing around her new baby doll, and Cj loved his new skateboard from Santa.  Miss B wanted to try skating like her brother.  He liked helping her too.
